Every Mr. Olympia Division Explained

This video breaks down every Olympia division and explains what makes each category unique, from the mass monsters of Open Bodybuilding to the precision, symmetry, and performance found across the modern bodybuilding world. Whether you are new to physique competitions or have followed the Olympia for years, this guide shows how each division is judged, trained for, and brought to life on stage.

You will learn why the Open class is defined by extreme size and conditioning, how the 212 division delivers compact physiques with cleaner proportions, and why Classic Physique brings back golden-era aesthetics with modern posing and detail. The video also covers Men’s Physique and its focus on beach-ready aesthetics and stage presence, along with the intensity and upper-body dominance that make Wheelchair Bodybuilding so impressive.

On the women’s side, we explore the balanced, confident look of Bikini, the muscular sharpness of Figure, and the powerful lower-body focus that defines Wellness. You will also see the raw strength of Women’s Bodybuilding, the streamlined muscle of Women’s Physique, and the athletic routines that make Fitness one of the most dynamic divisions on the Olympia stage.

If you have ever wondered what separates these categories or what judges look for, this breakdown gives a clear and engaging explanation of every major Olympia division.
