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

She looks fan-fucking-tastic bro! Congrats to the both of you.. I'd be proud too if that was my lady..

Good luck in Nationals!

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.

Did you make sure to stick out your breastesses? Don't forget to strut and flex those calves as well. And smile like the diva that you are :qt:
 
Thanks for the tips, I will relay that info back to the girlfriend.. I know what your saying, its not natural pose, but when you hit it right, it does look sweet.. She has plenty of time to work on it, and I think we found the right guy to help her with this. He also told me she has to be about 7lbs heavier for her masters show. So she has to have a very good off season.. The show she wants to do in Pennsylvania is very competitive, but she is up for the challenge.. Looks like ill be cooking my ass off again..

You must spread some Karma around before giving it to krishna again.


Thanks bro. It took alot out of me too..I had to make all her food..6 meals/ed, trained her 1/2 the week and my boy who competes did her diet. Her genetics are quite amazing. She actually cheated a handful of times, if I told you what she ate, you would be like, what?? Diet is the hardest, if your girl needs any pointers or help with her diet, let me know.. I can forward you my girls contest diet! I charge 1000 karma points.. :) j/k..

And no she didnt use anything from IP! :evil:

I'm actually a trainor, and I work with a lot of top notch guys who could help her out too. We have all the knowledge we need to get her there, she just doesn't have the discipline. Oh well, gotta love em. You're girl does look awesome though, and probably the hottest one there.
 
Your girl is smart, she doesnt want to weigh 95LBS ;)

Discipline is the hardest part..I honestly dont know how she did it. After about 4 weeks cooking her chicken breasts, I didnt even want to eat them anymore. The smell made me gag.. I still cant eat chicken..Ive been eating tuna steaks, steak, and turkey ED..

Thanks again for the compliments.. I would give ya more k, but I cant give ya anymore.. :)

They take points off, thats just how it is.. My girls first show, she lost points for not smiling, and for wearing the wrong shoes. Go figure.. So this show, I said make sure you keep smiling at the judges and make eye contact. She did that perfectly, just the back pose got her.

I also found out the girl that won her class already qualified for nationals, and shouldnt have even been doing this show. They call these kind of girls trophy whores. These judges are smart, they have all the names in front of them, and they know how they placed in the past.. But you cant deny someone first if they did everything right, so I guess we have to accept that..

Thanks for the compliments..
 
You have to remember that Figure has absolutely nothing to be judged on except 4 qtr turns x 2 (2 different suits). That's it. So they will judge on absolutely every inch of the presentation. Even though it was your g/f's first show, you also have to remember that most judges have probably seen thousands of girls as figure has been around say 6-7 yrs now, very low barriers to entry and shitloads of girls do it. The judging criteria is very fuzzy, very subjective, can be very political and changes every year and even show to show in the same season. So it can very hard to figure out what exactly was lacking or stand out - the judges do not care how much work you put in or anything other than how you look on stage during those 5 minutes.

Well let me add a note to the "don't care where you came from" -- if a judge knows you and has seen you in past shows, they may judge you on your progress as well so that might be an advantage over a new girl. (Aside from already existing politics part of it all).
 
You make some great points Sassy.. Going into any show, you really dont know what to expect.. It always seems like they are looking for something different.. Her first show last year, they said she was way to hard and didnt smile enough.. This year, it was the back posing.. I think we will get everything right next year, we have lots of time to prepare.. One of the judges that judge the show actually personal trains at our gym. He is going to take her under his wing, and show her what she needs to do. I think she has the look and the genetics, its just a matter of putting it all together..

Politics plays alot in our area too..
 
That's awesome to get a greater level of input -- I"ve seen the look change -- a show I was at this past weekend was ok, though I felt that most of the figure competitors needed a good 3+ weeks of dieting, very little leg development and very weak delts. The exact same show last year was loaded w/ girls w/ delts like football players, much leaner and everyone had a set of abs. A girl who trains at my gym did 6 shows last year and did very well was told at this yrs Jr. Nationals that LAST YR she woudl've taken the show. This year she didn't even place - too hard, too cut. Unfortunately her problem is that she has a pro level body but has to go thru the amateur ranks to get to that level, but she would really have to let herself get squishy & smaller to place in the current amateur competitions.
 
Does your friend have a bodybuilder body?? My girls first show, she was so hard and ripped, 2 of the judges said she should have done bodybuilding instead.. I think it was the carb depleating that made her look the way she did in her first show.. This past show, my friend and I told her not to carb depleat and she agreed.. I think it made a huge difference in her appearance.. Not too hard, and not too soft.. Her diet was much better too this time... My boy really helped out tremendously with this.. He has it down to a science..My girl was his first female he helped out, and was very pleased with her placing..
 
Yes she coudl've done very well in BB.... But maybe that is telling you that "Figure" is getting too squishy... (JMO) Its rough because it seems to get softer every year but its picky about which part is soft.... I think at least they shoudl have a six pack & good delts - but starting late last yr it seemed like it was ALL 6-pack & football player delts, squishy legs. Go figure. Now I dont know what it is...
 
I hear ya..What we did too was, we checked out the figure girls at some of the national shows, to kinda get an idea as well.. Her friend did a show in NY, about 2 weeks before, so she gave my girl the heads up, of what they were going to look for.. Same judges both shows.. So I guess we all dont know what they are looking for, if we find out, ill let ya know, and you do the same.. :)
