I was mad….sorry
I didnt intend to bash anyone. I KNEW from last years video that they preferred a heavier look in their figure girls, that is why I was orgionally just going to do bikini classic with the other "old chicks" such as myself. The problem is there is no clear cut guidelines for any figure organization. Bodybuilding is much more simple and clear cut. Figure is supposed to be ……………..
“”Judging Criteria
1. Body Shape and Symmetry - Contestants in this division should have a body shape that is proportional to their height and weight. They are to be not to be judged on muscle size. They should also have good body symmetry, which means the shape of their body is the same on the top and bottom, and the right and left sides.
2. Body Condition - Contestants in this division should have clear muscle definition throughout, and be in a “moderately conditioned” state. They should be more conditioned than a bikini athlete but less conditioned than a female bodybuilder.”‘
This is a direct quote from a website. Next time I am going to do my research and find out what “type” the organization prefers. Part of my problem is this is a costly competition between the food, the suits,the tanning, the time and effort dieting and travel. I have to decide which competition may move me up the ranks and which ones, even if you win, don’t move you up. At least I now have some experience and have learned a few things. My next show will probably be this summer. I want to go back to the gym and do my 250lb squats rather than 55 lbs like I have been!
