I get A LOT of people asking me what category I compete in and then not knowing the difference between them... heres the differences, both are great, I just love figure. 👍 🌸Figure vs Bikini🌸 There are distinct differences between the figure and bikini classifications in competitions. Understanding what the judges are looking for can help you to decide which one is right for you. ----- FIGURE ----- Classes – segregated by height and sometimes age Posing – structured with mandatory poses for judging comparison (i.e. front pose, side pose, back pose at quarter turns) Suit – 2-piece adorned bikini, high at hips, top straps attached to bottom criss-crossed in back Physique - muscles should be toned but not showing muscle fibers like a bodybuilder, balanced on both sides, and proportioned throughout Special note: Figure is suited for women who tend to carry more muscle. ----- BIKINI ----- Classes – segregated by height and sometimes age Posing – unstructured with non-mandatory poses for judging comparison (i.e. hand on one hip model pose or hands on both hips) Suit – 2-piece adorned bikini, can be mid at hips, top straps tie in back like a standard bikini, more flexibility in bikini style than figure Physique - muscles should be toned but not showing, balanced on both sides, and proportioned throughout, tend to be smaller in stature than figure and a higher body fat percentage creating a smoother overall appearance Stage Presence – feminine grooming with confidence and poise on stage, moves with fluidity Special note: Bikini is the most unstructured of all the classes. Strong emphasis on a toned beach body look with no muscle separation.
