I-Walk Overview

Athletes will be asked to perform an I-Walk.

The I-Walk is the competitor's opportunity to show grace, poise and confidence.

Performance Instructions

The I-Walk will consist of a front pose at the rear centre of the stage and a walk to the front.

The competitor will then present their front, preferred side, and back pose plus any other poses/transitions of their choice and exit through the right side of the stage (the same way they entered)

Key Rules & Guidelines

In this round the athlete can perform WNBF Men's Physique approved poses of their choice or simply perform each one of the mandatory quarter turn poses.

The I-Walk will be done to music selected by WNBF Australia.

Poses should not be held for more than 3 seconds each.

35 seconds is the maximum time allocated for the I-Walk

Competitors should execute the I-walk in a tasteful, confident manner. Over exaggerated posing or performance outside Men's Physique category (Bodybuilding poses, gymnastic moves, etc.) will be scored down.
