Center Podium

"First in Class"

NPC Wellness at all NPC Shows

NPC Wellness at Center Podium

December 30, 2019

NPC and IFBB Professional League Wellness

Wellness at all Center Podium NPC Shows

We are proud to announce that the NPC and IFBB Pro Leagues newest division, WELLNESS, will be include at all Center Podium, NPC shows AND our IFBB Pro League Pro Qualifier in Moscow, Russia.

What is the Wellness Division?

This division is for females with athletic physique’s that showcase more body mass in the hips, glutes and thigh areas. The upper body is developed but not to the same degree as the lower body.

Posing and Presentation

Front:

Competitors will face front with one hand on hip, one arm straight down and one leg slightly extended. We do not want to see the arm off to the side with the elbow bent and the wrist bent upwards.

Quarter turn Right:

Competitors will turn slightly facing the judges with right hand on hip and left arm straight down and right leg bent at the knee. More like a twisting side pose that Bikini competitors perform. We do not want to see the arm off to the side with the elbow bent and the wrist bent upwards.

Quarter turn Rear:

Competitors will face the rear with lower back arched with glutes pushed back. We do not want to see the arm off to the side with the elbow bent and the wrist bent upwards.

Quarter turn Right:

Competitors will turn slightly facing the judges with the left hand on the hip, right arm relaxed and left leg bent at the knee. We do not want to see the arm off to the side with the elbow bent and the wrist bent upwards.
