Episode notes
Eric's Contest Prep And Show Plans
- Eric Helms described being seven weeks out from his first show of the season in WNBF Taiwan and planning multiple shows.
- He discussed competing in both bodybuilding and Classic Physique depending on divisions and pro-card rules.
Pro-Card Rules Vary By Federation
- Different federations handle pro-card transfers differently; WNBF treats categories as distinct and non-transferable.
- This affects athletes who might otherwise cross over between divisions in other organizations.
Choose Division Based On Posing And Symmetry
- Learn how posing and presentation are scored when choosing a division; presentation can be a direct judged component in Classic Physique.
- Match your physique strengths (symmetry, posing skill, height class) to the division for better competitiveness.
