What is a Bodybuilding Figure Competition?
Bodybuilding figure competitions are a subset of bodybuilding, primarily focused on aesthetics and overall physique rather than just muscle size. Competitors are judged on muscle tone, symmetry, and overall presentation, which includes factors like stage presence and attire. It’s a sport that combines the rigor of bodybuilding with the grace of a model’s poise. 🏆
Categories and Judging Criteria
In these competitions, athletes are divided into different categories, often based on height, age, or experience level. Judges look for a balanced, well-defined physique, showcasing muscle tone without the extreme bulk seen in traditional bodybuilding. The focus is on lean muscle mass, symmetry, and overall presentation. For a deeper dive into the judging criteria, check out our post on Understanding Figure Competition Judging Criteria. 📝

Crickets – 2014
I hate driving behind trucks that carry rocks and dirt because I know they will bust my windshield. Digger tried to bite me when I tried to save him from a cricket and it was a whole drama fest and none of us really got any sleep. So, my schedule will be changing soon and I will be on
