Making a Switch
Making A Switch
Ok, so I am making the switch from Figure to Bodybuilding! At least I should say I am going to give Bodybuilding a try! I have been intrigued by a few of the women I have seen at a recent shows and I want to give it a shot. Putting this in my blog "cements" my decision and will serve as a kick in the butt to get going on my training.
I liked that these women were still very much feminine yet strong. I am sad to see so few competitors in Bodybuilding (women’s) and yet soooo many figure competitors. I think if more women came in still looking feminine we might be able to revamp the sport for women. I am not knocking women that put on a lot of mass … I have so much respect for the dedication it takes to do so. I just think that it can be intimidating to so many women and the sport suffers because we don’t see more varied bodytypes. I think there is room for growth and certainly room for all types of bodybuilders…. we just need to carve a nitch. 
I am scared to death that I am biting off more than I can chew with this. I know I have A LOT of work to do. I got a lot of responses from judges this year at Figure competitions that indicated I was "stringy" and needed to put size on, so if I was not big enough for Figure I certainly am going to have to fight to be big enough for Bodybuilding. Thank god for Light Wieghts.
Anyway, wish me luck and lets hope I don’t embarrass myself!

Sounds like you made your decision and you’re ready to go at it head on! I’m sure you’ll exceed all your expectations before you know it. It seems to be a common trend lately with a lot of women making the jump from figure to bodybuilding. I’ve had a few personal friends make that decision as well. I think it’s great! Best of luck to you!
