Women's bodybuilding and physique are two of the main categories in the world of fitness and bodybuilding among women and are characterized by training differences and greater specifications for judging.
In this feature, we will be going over the specifics and average differences between the two to help give potential competitors a better idea of where they stand with their desired goals, bodybuilding, and their own figure structure and personality.
Physique: Symmetry, Shape, and Poise for Women
The Aesthetics
The women's physique WPD division places an emphasis on symmetry, shape, proportion, muscle tone, and overall presentation.
As the dearly departed son of WSMC promoter Dave Palumbo so often and unfortunately said, it truly is the name of the game to find that right mix of all the elements that make up the men's physique division, size, symmetry, muscularity, and the total package.
Women's physique competitors also wear two-piece suits with V-shaped bottoms and must be barefoot, similar to female bodybuilders, only with seductive posing.
The Ideal Competitor
A perfect female physique has small muscle bells and a slightly fuller look.
Perfect for those who enjoy weight lifting, want to forgo wearing heels, and look forward to displaying their sculpted body in a routine.
Training and Judging Criteria
The women's physique training incorporated presence, symmetry, shape, and proportion along with overall muscle tone, with some body fat but not excessive, much like the discipline of women's bodybuilding.
This division features quarter turns, along with individual posing routines and a 90-second routine to music at finals, allowing competitors to display their aesthetic exterior and engage their performance warriors from inside.

The Aesthetics
Women's bodybuilding is the most muscular division of women's physique, and judges are looking for a balance of size, symmetry, and muscularity.
Athletes showcase their overall muscular development and presentation skills during the judging and finals: quarter turns, mandatory poses, and individual posing routines.
The Ideal Competitor
The commitment to sculpt and perfect one's physique and routine for women's bodybuilding is the perfect fit!
Perfect for those people who never have an issue building muscle and will put in the work in the gym, in the kitchen, or in the practice studio to ensure their body looks and performs like they need or want it to.
Training and Judging Criteria
Women's bodybuilding is comparable, to some extent, to male bodybuilding with regard to the focus on muscle mass, size, and symmetry in the judging, but as you probably guessed, a lot more emphasis is put on muscle shots.
The division is invariably tough and demands great dedication to reach the required level of size and quality.
Battle of Symmetry vs. Muscularity
Symmetry in Women's Physique
Women's physique places a heavy emphasis on the shape, symmetry, conditioning, and proportions of the body, with less emphasis on muscle size than bodybuilding and more emphasis on poise and presentation, allowing for individual posing routines to music.
For those who have shorter muscle bellies and are unintimidated with a greater degree of development, this is the division they want to grow into over time.
Female bodybuilding muscularity
Women's bodybuilding centers around size, but with a high level of overall muscular size and continued emphasis on condition, proportion, and balance. Each competitor is given a score of 1 to 10 in pre-judging and on the evening show.
Women's bodybuilding is absolutely a discipline with not only the desire but also a hell of a lot of follow-through who would have to compete in order to compete.
