Bodybuilding competitions are events where individuals showcase their muscular development and physique. Competitors are judged based on criteria such as muscle size, symmetry, and overall presentation. Participants often follow strict training and nutrition regimens to prepare for these contests. During a competition, athletes perform a series of poses to highlight their strengths and demonstrate their hard work. Categories may vary, including men's bodybuilding, women's bodybuilding, and other divisions like classic physique or bikini. Judges score each competitor, and awards are given for top placements, celebrating the dedication and discipline required in the sport.
