ADVANCEMENT STRUCTURE

Workout Warrior Athletics (WWA)

 

Workout Warrior Athletics Physique Sports are built on a clear, earned progression system designed to support athlete development while protecting the prestige of championship-level competition.

 

Advancement in WWA leads to qualification for PHYSIQUEMANIA, the premier Physique Sports event of the year.

​

WHY AN ADVANCEMENT STRUCTURE MATTERS

 

The WWA Advancement Structure exists to:

​

  • Ensure fair and balanced competition

  • Reward performance and consistency

  • Create a clear pathway from local events to the biggest stage of the year

  • Protect the meaning of championship titles

 

In Workout Warrior Athletics, you don’t sign up for PHYSIQUEMANIA — you earn your place.

​

COMPETITIVE LEVELS (CLASSES)

 

Across WWA Physique Sports divisions, the following classes may be offered:

​

  • U21 (21 and under)

  • Novice

  • Open

  • Masters 40

  • Masters 50

  • Masters 60

​​

NOVICE LEVEL

 

Who Is Novice:

  • Athletes new to physique competition

  • Athletes with limited competitive experience

​

Novice provides a fair entry point and allows athletes to gain stage experience.

​

Novice → Open Advancement

​

  • Top 3 placement in Novice at a WWA sanctioned event
    → Athlete advances to Open the next time they compete

​

Once an athlete advances from Novice, they may not return to Novice competition.

​

OPEN LEVEL

 

Who Is Open:

  • Athletes who have advanced from Novice

  • Athletes approved to enter Open based on prior competition history

​

Athletes with experience from other federations may be placed directly into Open, at the discretion of Workout Warrior Athletics (WWA).

​
