A fan's guide
Men's Physique judging focuses on the upper body, waist and overall presentation, and competitors perform a model-style walk and quarter turns rather than bodybuilding poses.
It is the most popular division at amateur level and often has the largest pro fields.
Our take
Men's Physique brought a new audience into bodybuilding and is the entry point for most new competitors. Its judging is the most subjective of any men's division, which is why presentation matters so much.
Terry's polish made him a worthy 2026 champion.
What's next
The 2027 Men's Physique Olympia will be held at Olympia Weekend.
