Evolution of Bodybuilding Divisions

The landscape of bodybuilding has evolved significantly with the introduction of various divisions, providing athletes with more choices when it comes to competition. Originally, bodybuilding was a straightforward path with limited divisions, primarily catering to bodybuilders, but has expanded to include categories like men's physique and figure. This increase in divisions allows individuals to find a niche that suits their physique and goals, making it more accessible for new competitors to enter the sport. However, this diversity can also create confusion for beginners trying to navigate the different requirements and expectations of each division.
