Ryan Terry toiled away in the Men’s Physique division for more than ten years before being named the Olympia champion in 2023. Now, with three back-to-back O’s under his belt, the British bodybuilder has shared some wisdom for those warriors that are hoping to follow in his footsteps.
“Front and back—the only two poses judged in men’s physique,” wrote Terry in an informative Instagram post crafted for his 2.6 million followers. Indeed, IFBB rules dictate that only the front and back poses are formerly judged. Side views in the Men’s Physique division are not scored in the same way as other groupings such as Open or Classic.
Ryan Terry explains that because of this fact, getting hung up on anything other than the front and rear view would be a mistake. “Perfect them first then introduce transitions and other complimentary poses that suit your physique after,” he advised. For example, during the champ’s 2025 victory, Terry had full control of his posing, timing movements with the music to present great flow while flexing, but every movement had a purpose. “Simple and precise is more effective sometimes than over complicated routines,” noted the man from Nottinghamshire, England.
