bikini

[herekittykitty]

For Bikini not FBB or Figure. Found the pic by accident. Seems to have some semblance of abs but not 'too muscular' to be too much for bikini. If You don't like it, my bad then. Just asking....

I think the "abs" come from supporting her posture (if ya know what I mean) ... lol

got my suit and heels in the mail the other day and have been practicing my walking and posing...they heels are a challenge to walk in for someone who never ever wears heels! lol

i was wondering if the bikini competitors could give me some advice on a list of items to bring with me the day of competition? i have a general idea, but random things that arent always thaught of would be nice to know of in advanced

Question: what does the typical bikini competitor do for precontest prep? Like 1 and 2 out?

1 and 2 WHAT out?

I personally find women w/ stick arms & weak shoulders to be creepy, but that's just me I'm probably not the best person to ask.

thats a really good description

The chick in the toned pic is hot.

The pic of Jessica is hotter.

That's just a personal preference.

1 and 2 WHAT out?

For what purpose? If you asked me I'd say she needs some meat on her arms. How do you "tone" w/ stick arms?

I've cleaned my teeth with toothpicks thicker than those arms...

I don't know if the judges have a preference, but I have long hair and I pulled it to the side. I think it gives a better overall view from the back. I personally think the hair detracts from the look because it gets in the way of seeing the whole package, but that's just my opinion.



That's bullshit. I'm so sick of hearing people bash bikini because the girls don't have big muscles. Clearly that means we "don't workout". Anyone who spends a day with me and sees me training would clearly disagree. I'm sure Jen here and Alea Suarez, who was featured in the women's section last week, would argue those comments also. THOSE are role models for the bikini division... diet and training are part of a FIT lifestyle, which is what this division represents. And the girls that look best DO have muscle and DO lift... they aren't "skinny fat".

Not trying to attack you personally Wolf, so I apologize for coming across that way because it has been said many times before, but I just felt the need to address this... I believe the look of the bikini class has developed some criteria since it debuted last year... and working out is definitely a pre-requisite for being successful. Look at the figure pros who are switching to bikini... Sonia Gonzales, Alicia Marie... that has to say something about the look and direction that this class is going in, no?

The biggest most consistent thing I noticed from bikini from about 20 shows I attended last year was the standardization of the back pose, with legs apart, pelvis dropped forward and a seductive look over the shoulder while flashing the butterfly cut bikini bottom and some glorious butts. Quite a few of these girls turned pro. As a single man I loved the show and if those girls didn't workout they certainly could probably find a willing workout partner or two from the audience members.
With the suit change requirements it should be interesting to see how the trend goes this year. There might should be a no-dropping-your-pelvis in the back pose while looking over your shoulder rule.

Whatever though as I'll be there to record the memories regardless of whether they are wearing turtle-neck sweaters or next to nothing at all. Someone has to do it.

I want to call something out that really bothers me.... every bikini competitor out there will tell you all day long about their diet & training regimen. In fact, IMO the only major difference between bikini, figure & FBB are the degree of time spent BUILDING the mass. Since mass isn't important for Bikini, fine, the cut is the only really relevant part. Its a matter of degrees, and the judging criteria, even if you think its squishy, is still reasonably-well defined in terms of the amount of muscle they are looking at.

But, with all due respect, even in jest, have you heard one guy comment on the PHYSIQUE that any of the bikini girls have worked so hard for? I don't hear all that work getting recognized & rewarded. Frankly all I heard is how great the tits & ass are. I REALLY don't want to see this category reduced to that. This is a big reason I'd like to some formal poses defined and the suit thing... come on. The NPC already has clearly defined guidelines on appropriate suit dimensions. Just because someone came up w/ a new type of bikini does NOT mean they should be able to get away w/ a friggen string up the butt. This should've been identified & called out as soon as someone showed up w/ one of those suits. This is already well defined.
