Introducing Classic Bodybuilding Divisions

The World Natural Bodybuilding Federation (WNBF) announced that it will introduce a classic bodybuilding division starting in the 2025 season, a significant move given that classic bodybuilding has been a controversial topic within natural bodybuilding circles. Historically, the WNBF had believed that natural bodybuilding epitomizes classic aesthetics; however, the decision to adopt a classic division mirrors the trend set by enhanced bodybuilding organizations. This change is intriguing as it may attract competitors who prefer a return to more traditional bodybuilding aesthetics, emphasizing posing and presentation over sheer mass. The implications of this decision for natural bodybuilding competitions and the judging criteria remain to be seen, but it showcases a shift toward a new competitive format that aligns with evolving preferences in the bodybuilding community.
