ALL WHEELCHAIR BODYBUILDING COMPETITORS MUST COMPETE WITH WHEELCHAIRS TO QUALIFY FOR THIS CATEGORY
The criteria used to judge a physique is based upon three equal aspects: (1) symmetry, (2) muscularity, and (3) presentation.
1. Symmetry
Symmetry refers to the structural harmony of the physique relative to the size of the various body parts. Shape, proportion, detail, definition, and balance of each body part in relation to one another must give a cohesive whole and overall balance.
2. Muscularity
Muscularity refers to the size of the muscles in relation to skeletal structure, their shape, hardness, and definition. Also included are separation between adjacent muscles and muscle groups, and striations within amuscle or muscle group. Low skin and inter/intra-muscular fat alongwith a lack of water retention enhance the muscular appearance.
3. Presentation
Presentation is the effective display of the contestant's asset through posing ability, posture, projection, and carriage on stage. Skin tone, grooming, and posing outfit are a part of presentation. The selection of poses and their proper execution, the smoothness of transitions.
