GENERAL INFORMATION: In Judging MEN'S FITNESS competition, the judges shall assess the athleticism of the physique. This is NOT a bodybuilding contest - huge muscle mass and deep muscle separations/striations will not be rewarded. The muscle tone should appear firm, full bodied and tight. The MEN'S FITNESS competitions provide an alternative for athletic men who train hard but do not wish to gain massive muscle size or the "cuts" required for bodybuilding contests. COMPETITION ROUNDS & RULES ROUND 1/PHYSIQUE : Contestants are to wear either runners or biker shorts ( no posing suits) along with athletic shoes and socks. All contestants will be brought out individually for four quarter turns at center stage and then repeating the quarter turns in a line-up with the other contestants. Depending on the number of contestants, the Head Judge may divide the group into two or more smaller groups and repeat the four-quarter turns. The judges will be assessing overall symmetry, proportion, firmness and physical appearance including complexion, skin tone, poise and presentation that best shows an athletic physique. ROUND 2/STRENGTH: The Strength Round consists of two exercises - Chin-Ups and Push-Ups. Contestants will be brought out individually in numerical order. While a fitness outfit is recommended, the costume/apparel will not be part of the judges' decision. Shoes are not required for this round. A time limit of one (1) minute for each event per individual has been set. The contestants will be judged on how many correctly executed Chin-Ups and Push-Ups accomplished in the 1 minute time period. Effort must be continuous with no resting. CHIN-UPS : No straps, gloves or chalk will be permitted. Chin-Ups may be done either with an underhand or overhand grip. A correctly executed Chin-Up consists of full extension of the arms on the bottom to the chin above the bar at the top done without stopping at top or bottom. The contestant doing the most reps will receive a score for first place, the contestant doing the second highest amount, second place and on down. PUSH-UPS : A line of tape will be placed on the stage and each contestant's toes shall remain behind the line. Contestants will face the audience. A correctly executed Push-Up consists of full extension of the arms at the top and down to touching the chest to the stage. To eliminate problems of judging the down movement with contestants wearing different and loose fitting clothing, one of the judge's will place the palm of his hand on stage directly under the contestant's chest to confirm the touch down position. The participant doing the most Push-Ups will receive a score of 1st st place, the contestant doing the second highest, 2nd place and on down. After the rankings are determined for both exercises, each contestant's ranking will be added together for one placement for this round. If there is a tie, the max pull-ups and if necessary, max push-ups will determine the tiebreaker. ROUND 3/OBSTACLE COURSE : Timed event - short in duration. The obstacles will challenge your speed, stamina and agility. This event will be performed on the main stage, three or four athletes at a time. The Obstacle Course will consists of 20 vertical jumps onto a 16" high bench (up down 20 times), 20 full range sit-ups, 30 jumps with a 3 lb. jump rope (must be complete jumps starting with rope behind your feet), 10 full range push-ups, 10 tires staggered drill and a 5 point shuttle (suicide) run with blocks to pick up to ensure athletes are touching the line. Athletes will receive a ranking of 1 st place, 2 nd place and on down based on the time to complete the course.
