Well my April show is a national show so yeah, the competition is brutal lol My upper body is really too big/solid for bikini. I only did bikini last year because my legs weren't big enough to try figure. Thought I might as well get some stage experience and have fun with it while I was working on growing. It worked out better than I ever imagined though!

I saw a girl at the gym the other day who is doing, so I have been told, bodybuilding this year (she did physique last year) and I swear she is no bigger than me in the shoulders and arms. She has a wider back and a tonne of acne but I could compare to her . I would love to do physique but coach said I need to grow another 15-20lbs this season if I want to do it next year......boooo grrrr

[dXXXs]

I'm near Calgary and would like to check body fat percent. Anybody know where I can go?

[rebeckyt]

I find the bodybuilding classes have a huge difference in sizes because of there being only weight classes. I have a friend who's a middle weight competitor and she looks tiny when she's dieted down. She's very short and weights 123ish at contest but still seems SO small!

[Riggs75]

Honestly now, given the option of pants or no pants, would anyone really chose pants?

F^*% pants... That's why I live alone

I can honestly say that if I saw you two walking down the street, I would prefer the sans pants option lol.

Morning guys, how's everyone been?

I am just under 5'6 and holding around 131 lbs at the moment....my goal is to be on stage at 124 but coach wants 128.

bodybuilding SHOULD have different sizes. For females in the shows I have seen in vancouver, 95% of competitors could cross between bikini/figure/physique/bodybuilding because they all look the same.

wasssssup people ! sglgirl you've made some AMAZING progress !

[sglgirl]

wasssssup people ! sglgirl you've made some AMAZING progress !

Thank you. I am currently trying to make some more...8.5 weeks out and then an 8 mos bulk might be in the works

I find that so odd. Here in AB the difference between the classes is unmistakable. There's always the odd person that's competing in the wrong class for their physique in the regionals but other than those exceptions chosen the top 5 in the different classes is easy. No way to mistake a BBer and a Bikini girl or Figure girl here.

[dXXXs]

is that just size of the gal or is it shape as well?

NSABBA...check out the result photos sometime of the winners.

sometimes I wonder if it is how much gear they are on and how long, then they decide where they might want to fit in.

When you coming to Fort Mac???

Been good! What about you sweetcheeks?

Wow you're close to being ready quite early then! I'm 5'7" and still up about 139. Need to cut down to about 132 for Bikini, and will probably be around 128 for figure in June.

Size and shape. My BB friend has a lot of mass for her size and looks TOTALLY different in off season. In off season, she really gains

NSABBA...check out the result photos sometime of the winners.

I will do that tonight! Yay Muscle Insider!

Maybe I'm just being "picky" because I pay attention so much to the IFBB/top NPC competitors and the people at these shows look nothing like them lol But I honestly think a lot of the girls could just crossover. The bodybuilding chicks are never big, and most of them are 40+ years old anyways.

I am no where close, I think 124 is more where I should be for stage.

[Keyboardsmasher]

I agree, I was looking at the pics thinking the same thing, the line between bikini and figure @ the SWFC was a blur.

*blush*
Doing ok, been quite busy lately. The joys of shift work and sick kids lol.

Hope everyone is having a good day...

I wasn't thinking that far ahead hahaha. I usually won't try a lift unless I think I can get it at least twice lol.

I think I probably could have got 350 for 1 FLEX, what do you think?

[-=FLEX=-]

I think I probably could have got 350 for 1 FLEX, what do you think?

My 1 rep max calculation based on 325 x 3 is 357.5

So yep.

[LithiuM23]

I wish I could do my own calculations

[-=FLEX=-]

I wish I could do my own calculations

(weight x reps x 0.0333) + weight = 1 rep max weight

So in your case:

(325 x 3 x 0.0333) + 325 = 357.4675, or ~357.5
