Opinions differ on what to look for…
Sometimes we sit in the audience in a Competition and wonder why somebody would be place before a person that looks better in our opinion!
In Bikini judges want to see round muscle bellies but no extreme separation of muscles or striations .
You should not go much under 15 % body fat but stay tight at the same time!
Round shoulders, but no big V in the back . Tinny waist , nice high and round gluteus, full quads and hamstrings, but nothing bulky!
In Figure you can have a little more muscle and be a tap leaner, but no single digit numbers!!!
Watch vascularity because judges don’t like to see that!
Nice lines and separation of muscles, tightness and full round muscle bellies!
Nice V in the back, small waist, big full quads with lines, tight gluteus!
If you are to square, you need to build your quads and lats to appear more symmetric!
Physique is a small version of body building!
A tap bigger that Figure but no striations here either!
You can go into the single digit as long as you don’t lose your femininity 🙂
Body building is the old fashion version of competing!
Lots of muscle, symmetry, striations, vascularity and more masculine appearance!
Men’s Physique is different from men’s Body Building!
Judges are looking for surfer type guys!
Smaller, athletic but more gymnast types!
No extreme V !!!
Separation but no vascularity!
Striations are out!!!
If you don’t place you are probably to big, have to work on stage performance as smile, stand upright, keep your head high, confidence, and personality on stage!
Remember you need to stand out from the person next to you!!!
Keep smiling no matter how tired you are 😉
Men’s Bodybuilding is the old fashion version of competing!!!
Lowest body fat, symmetry, striations, most extreme diets!!!
You need to look like a anatomical drawing 😉
As in all of these categories you need to work on posing!!!
You can hide flaws or bring out assets to your physique!
Number one is always confidence!!!
Don’t skip posing practice because you think you know it all…
Timing can be changed and freak you out (like last Saturday where you got cut first to 10seconds and then to 6 seconds)
Remember that no matter how you’ve placed, you will always be a winner!!!
