    First comp Figure vs Bikini?

    Hi all! I posted this a few days ago in the fitness comp section but only got one response so I figured id try here! I plan on doing my first comp next year and I've always wanted to do figure but I also wouldnt be apposed to doing bikini. I recently started working with Shebly Starnes so my diet is completely on point and will be all the way leading up to showtime but I would just like to know your opinions on what you think I would do better in. Im not very good at posing yet so dont laugh! Thanks in advance

    Hey! awesome pics!! you're well on your way! if you have lots of time till your comp, you should totally try figure! I'm in the same bikini or figure dilemma, you could do either, but if you have the time to get your 'swell' on ( lol ) Go for it, Figure!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK!

    i'm inclined to say figure, but that's because you're doing figure poses. bikini posing is very different.

    having said that, you do look like you have the build for figure. in that case you'd need more mass, though, so concentrate on building more for a year or two.

    I agree with Miranda, if all you are doing is "cutting" right now and want to compete next year I'd say go for bikini, then focus on building for the next two years or so and try for figure.

    I'm not sure why you're posting here if your working with Shelby Starnes. If he's your coach, you should be getting solid feeback from him. The guy def knows his stuff, so it really doesn't matter what we think...

    Best of luck!

    I second that. You have good quad and shoulder development perfect for figure. You just have to decide how lean you want to be.

    I think you look great for bikini right now. Maybe after a bulk and cutting you be perfect for figure. You look great by the way!
