Workout Warrior Athletics (WWA)

​

At Workout Warrior Athletics, judging is built on clarity, fairness, and consistency.

​

Each division within WWA has a distinct purpose, look, and standard. Athletes are judged only against the criteria of their division, not against athletes from other divisions.

​

WWA judging emphasizes:

​

• Athletic physiques

• Balanced development

• Healthy presentation

• Confidence and stage presence

• Clear division separation

 

This page outlines the judging criteria for all WWA divisions, followed by comparison charts to help athletes choose the division that best fits their physique and goals.

​

CORE JUDGING PRINCIPLES (ALL DIVISIONS)

 

All WWA divisions are evaluated using these foundational principles:

​

• Symmetry & Proportion – Balanced development from top to bottom and side to side

• Muscular Development – Appropriate muscle size for the division

• Conditioning – Leanness that enhances shape and detail without unhealthy extremes

• Stage Presence – Confidence, posture, composure, and professionalism

• Overall Presentation – Grooming, attire fit, and how the physique flows as a whole

 

Important: Bigger is not always better. More shredded is not always better.
The goal is to match the division standard, not exceed it.

​
