My girls pics..

Pics of my girlfriend at her fitness/figure show.. She came in 2nd, but still qualifies for the Nationals in NY & Vegas.. We talked with the judges afterwards, and if she would have flared out her back, she would have won. Im so proud of her, take a looky..

First two pics, she is in the middle.. The last 3 pics she is the 2nd one on the left in blue one piece.

Great job!! Congrats!!

Thanks for the kind words, I will relay the messages back to her.. She is stuck at work till 7.

lucky mofo you have a hot girl there....congrats

She looks fantastic! Yes you can see what you were talking about w/ her back. The girl on her left has nice capped delts & a V going & pulls it out nicely, but she's not nearly lean enough & her top to bottom symmetry is off some (i.e. needs to keep dieting to lose the butt / leg fat). IMO, if your g/f just pulls out the shoulders to get called look like the girl next to her she's golden. More up & out vs out to the sides on the shoulders, if that makes any sense. Looks fantastic tho!

Yeah, we keep talking about the back posing.. and also we cant help to think if she would have flexed her back better, she possibly could have won her class and the overall too.. But she is still very happy with her placement, plus she qualifies for nationals, which is what she wanted..She is going to work with a pro in our gym with her posing, I just dont know how to teach someone to spread their back.. I know what your saying, its just hard for me to show her.. She has plenty of time to pose, she is going to go compete in the masters next july.

Again, thanks to everyone for the compliments..k to all!

That's fantastic! That back thing is really hard but is the basis of the whole competition actually. As a BB, the whole concept of this goofy lat spread thing drives me nuts -- I'm all like PULL IT OUT ! COME ON! PULL IT OUT MORE! in the audience, except what they are doing is "the pose" that the judges are looking for. It also depends on how you "wear" the pose itself as far as what gets the best exposure of the delts. I try to describe it like stand head up, but then feel like there are two strings attached to the highest & furthest out point on the shoulder and someone is pullign the strings up and out at the same time. But also let the arms hang down naturally from there - i.e. the only place where you are consciously paying attention to is the shoulders - not the elbows. And then from there, see how it looks from the front & back - may need to try rolling the shoulders forward or backward to get the biggest width possible on the back.

Lots of figure girls tend to make their elbows the pull point and then they just end up w/ this big round O shape vs the Y shape the judges are looking for. Another sign of not pulling correctly is if there is a slant down on the shoulders vs. straight across.

It really is an art form to get it right because it isn't a natural pose, but when you get it, it does look good.
