what’s expected of Figure Competitors…
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008Straight from the horse’s mouth! IFBB men’s bb rep Jim Manion and his opinion on what is expected of Figure Competitors:
- The women’s sport continues to evolve. A lot of the figure girls train with male bodybuilders, and start to build a bodybuilding physique. Figure was set up to give the girls who were NOT bodybuilders a chance to compete in the sport in itself. I think that this is an evolution thing. We’re trying to put the brakes on it before it goes too far.
- As a judge, I don’t look at it as hard / soft. I see it as athletic and out of shape. I’m looking for an athletic looking women, figure woman–a little bit of line, shows that you train, it’s just not all T&A, basically. With me, the main criteria is you HAVE to have a beautiful face to start with.
