And he contended in <\/span>2021 Natural Olympia<\/span><\/a>.

At Natural Olympia, 2x United Kingdom Drug Free Bodybuilding Association (UKDFBA) champion <\/span>Michael Boyle<\/strong> took home a bronze medal in the Men\u2019s Bodybuilding Masters division<\/span><\/a>. And British contender <\/span>Claire Burton<\/strong> won the Women\u2019s Physique Masters division<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Below, we\u2019ll be covering a brief overview of Natural Olympia and the Men\u2019s Physique class in the INBA PNBA league.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Natural Olympia is the biggest natural bodybuilding competition globally hosted by the INBA PNBA. In natural bodybuilding, it\u2019s equivalent to <\/span>Mr. Olympia in the International Federation of BodyBuilding and Fitness (IFBB) Pro league<\/span><\/a>. Competitors compete from over 60 countries, and this past year Natural Olympia had contenders from 15 different countries. All competitors are subject to in-season and out-of-season drug testing through <\/span>World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) compliant laboratories<\/span><\/a> and must not screen any banned substances. Any contestant who fails to uphold this will be <\/span>banned from competing<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Natural Olympia and INBA PNBA have continued to progress, including adding a <\/span>new bodybuilding category for women at this year\u2019s Natural Olympia<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Men\u2019s Physique class is a competitive division with eminent natural bodybuilding athletes such as William Long (reigning 3x champ), <\/span>Colin Congo<\/strong> (former champion)<\/span><\/a>, and Jon Tsiu<\/strong> (3x winner and Hall of Fame Inductee).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Athletes are judged on their symmetry, muscularity, definition (conditioning), and stage presence. Although, Men\u2019s Physique contenders won\u2019t hold as much muscle mass as the <\/span>Men\u2019s Bodybuilding division<\/span><\/a>. Competitors in this division wear boardshorts. Therefore, legs aren\u2019t as important as the upper body, except for your calves<\/a> since they\u2019re visible. According to an IG post by William Long, \u201cyou are wearing boardshorts and cannot display your hamstrings and quads so there\u2019s no reason to squat down with your legs together.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n If there\u2019s one thing for sure, building the physique of a Super Saiyan may potentially land you a <\/span>multi-media contract<\/span><\/a> with Generation Iron, <\/span>Iron Magazine<\/span><\/a>, and INBA PNBA, and of course, a <\/span>gold medal at Natural Olympia<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Follow us on <\/span>Instagram<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Facebook<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Twitter<\/span><\/a> to see how INBA PNBA athletes plan to accomplish their goals this year! <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
