Hey Mark,
I am hoping for some other people to jump in here and give their take but just so you know.

There are two equally scored rounds in the Fitness Model category: swimwear and sportswear (or costume for UFE Halloween Mayhem only). In both of these rounds, competitors will be asked to come out on stage individually and walk to 3 predetermined points on the stage. During this walk, judges are looking for poise and confidence of the competitor. The style of walk is important as this is a model competition so the competitor should walk accordingly. At each of the 3 points on stage, competitors will execute 1-2 freestyle poses, perform any style of turn or have fun and play up their outfit in the case of the sportswear or costume round (ie: if the competitor dresses in a baseball outfit, they may pretend to swing a bat or catch a ball etc.). After all 3 points are hit, competitors will go to the back of the stage and line up with the other competitors. Once a predetermined number of competitors are in the lineup, they will all be asked to come forward and execute a series of quarter turns for the judges before leaving the stage

Hopefully you get some good feedback!

Hey Mark,

UFE Havoc is a very good first time event because it is fairly small and the caliber is reasonable. This is a great event to get some experience and then qualify to do some of our higher level shows. Most of UFE's American PRO's got their start at this show

Hey Mark,

I competed at Havoc last year and it was so much fun! I've also judged and Shawn summed it up pretty well. I notice you're 5'11", which is great as personally, I find taller is better for male fitness model. Confidence, smile and make sure your poses flatter your physique. Have fun, it really does come through and looks so much better than someone just hitting their marks.

Thanks everyone! Think I may wait for next year and put on some more size.

Hi!
(I found you Shawn
Mark- I am a first time competitor and am doing this show! I have friends in other federations, but I specifically chose UFE because the event coordinators are so helpful and really make you feel like you are more than just a number. Hopefully you chose to compete! Or at least come check it out!

Thanks!

Shawn has been extremely helpful and I get a good vibe from the UFE. I will be at the show in Dearborn but not sure I am in good enough shape to compete this year. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Regards,
Mark

1 week out! Looking to compete in my first show as well. UFE Havoc, Men's Fitness Model Sept 7th. Excited... to eat again! lol Anyways so far UFE seems pretty awesome. Its more for the sport of competing opposed to NPC's politics. Aside that everyone so far in my experience is up beet helpful and co-operative. I'm glad I choose UFE so far for my first show. I guess now is to see how it is come show day! See everyone soon enough!
