WHICH DIVISION AM I?
Our sport deals with females (individuals) who have vastly different genetic makeup, competition ambition and potential for muscular development. Hence the sport offers a range of divisions as our diagram illustrates. Although genetics and goal setting will determine ultimately what division a female competitor wants - you can imagine with more training and dieting, over time, a competitor could develop along this ‘sliding scale’ of division objectives.
INBA DIVISIONS
ICN Australia has several Major Divisions, which in turn may be broken down into several classes. This page is a general overview, for a far more in depth description click on the division of your choice below or on the main menu on the left hand side of this page.
