Preparing for my first figure comp [Archive]

Now that the tri's done, the focus has shifted.

K, Ulter requested last time that I stick to the black undies from my before pics to stay consistent/make it easier to see, so that's what I did.

1. Sorry that my cat ran into the picture on the front one.
2. I know the 2nd pic is blurry but it was either that one, or the clear one where my hand gets in the way of my rear.

I'm currently 15 weeks out:

looking good girl :grin: just remember with the front and rear pose..let your shoulders, lats and chest do the work..don't use your arms to pull out (if that makes sense) I remember Sassy telling me to imagine there was string pulling my shoulders outward..it definitely helped. Best way to practice is to set up two mirrors..one in front so you can see the one behind you..once you can 'feel' the right position..you tend to hit it every time :grin:

but you are looking great..nice back there girly :woot:

Mr. Muscle, yup those are poorly done quarter turns. lol I'm still learning how to pose. The only one I'm ok at is the back one. The rest of them.... I have a lot of work to do.

Aw geez, I don't know about that.... I hope I do well. I think I will. I'm afraid once I cut down that I won't look like I have enough mass. But I guess time will tell. Doing a lot of lowerbody stuff to shave down that fat as fast as possible. That's going to be the hardest part.

Wow, Ms. Beautiful!!! You already look hot, you are gonna be amazing!!

15 weeks is definately enough time!

You are going to do well. Remember it is all the illusion game. Hammer them delts like NubianBeauty stated to Trivial in her thread. The rest will fall into place with dieting as the weeks progress. You have a small waist, and if you cap the delts off some, that will really help. Your delts might already be fine, but that will be more apparent as the weeks go by.

Any fatty parts will get cooked with dieting these next 15 weeks.

Use this show to gauge what needs to be improved before the next one.

You are going to look totally different in 15 weeks as compared to what you are now (not saying it is bad now).

Can't wait to see progress pics throughout all this:)

Hi BMJ! :wavey:

Trust me... T Cake is nailing my shoulders. She's my coach for this comp and she is kicking my ass. lol. But lucky for me, all those years of swimming has already given me a ton of shoulder mass. I'm pretty lucky. :nod:

The fat is melting-- quickly. My legs/rear/calves all feel completely different and I'm just wrapping up week 2. So I'm very excited to see how I'll look in another 2 weeks, a month, 2 months, etc. :hi5:

New pics will probably be posted at the end of next week.

Thanks, Sassy! I'm working on my poses. I'm thinking a lot more than I used to. I seem to struggle the most with where to put my hands for the side poses.

I'd practice putting them to the sides first - like straight down & forget this forward / backward posing. Look at the 2007 photos from your target show & see how they do it in the lineups. If they all look like they don't have a clue, then call the promoter & get just ask. No offense to the figure girls, but I see so many girls fidgeting around w/ their hands and doing all sorts of friggen contorted stances trying to do whatever they think "figure' is - its like just stand still & relax for God's sake. All you have to do is quarter turns & it borders on mindless - but it seems to be so incredibly hard. Do what feels natural - make your shoulders the point on control and let the arms and wrists drop naturally from there. Be sure you can do an "arms to your side" stance because they may call it - seems to be depend on the promoter - and when someone has never done that before cuz its not how they learned to pose, its like they are completely lost. Check the photos, if you aren't sure, ask. I've even seen one girl just simply told "touch your thumbs to your thighs" and that's it - just do that and keep your hands from going all over the place or being fidgety or whatever. Find the way & just lock it in - but find a way to do it in a relaxed position - its way to easy to pick "uncomfortbable, unnatural & contorted" out of a lineup.

You're doing great -- as you are noticing - you are more aware of the poses as you get familiar with them, but be sure to be comfortable and be able to fall into those poses naturally - not have to look in a mirror (you won't have a mirror on stage) and always hold your head up, chest out, shoulders up & back.

sassy69

08-01-2008, 04:24 PM

I also noticed on your back pose - you tend to drop your right shoulder a little - not sure if its related to your elbow -position, but watch that & see if you tend to do that naturally. And if so work on remembering to bring it up just a little bit after you settle into where you naturally settle. I had that problem big time in 2007 because I jacked my right shoulder real good the year before and it was a lot more loose than the left. It seems to be coming back to where it should be, but I worked a lot on that - like I said - you won't have a mirror when youare on stage, but you want to be confident in how your body tends to go when you are distracted and nervous and probably aren't going to remember all the little cues and ideans you had during your practice sessions - it really needs to be complete reflex by the time you hit the stage.

Tweak

08-01-2008, 04:35 PM

That's the goal for now (trying to go on stage and hitting those poses like I've done a billion shows).

And YES! You're totally right. When I went to the Gopher State Classic, the girl who won (who ended up taking overall figures for the Chicago show last month and got her Pro card) was completely relaxed and looked totally natural and pleasant. The other girls had a borderline look of panic on their faces for much of their time on stage. They were fidgety and unsure of themselves. Smiling or not, their body language and eyes were dripping with "wtf? is this right?" and I turned to my friend Amy and said "I am NOT looking like that when I compete in the fall!" It was a night and day difference between the girl who won and everyone else.

I'm also trying in these pics not to cover my butt/thighs. That's pretty much my target area for what needs to GO and I try not to block it with my frickin' jazz hands. :lol: My hands got in the way a lot. Maybe I'll bring them down to the sides and slightly forward for the pics?

I've never noticed that about my shoulder! I'll have to work on that in the future.

Thank you for the advice! :)

T-Cake

08-01-2008, 05:02 PM

At this point, it's all about the butt. When the butt looks good, we "stop". If it takes 'til your show, that's what we do.

Just keep them at your sides..........the NPC just recently changed their rules & they don't want all the flaring, etc......from what I've read, on the side pose, they don't even want how you're standing in the pics......they want them at your sides, almost straight down.

I don't know you but have a feeling me and you will get along just fine. :hi5:

So, please allow me to critique you now.... :naughty:

O M g You look really, really awesome! I've been following this thread for awile now and have been able to keep my e-mouth shut til now. :heart:

:) Wow! You look amazing. The way you are standing looks very natural and your shoes are hot. They look like a natural extention of your great legs. I am officially inspired for the day to get my butt to the gym!

Tell me about your hair! It looks different. I love extentions! :cheer:

:wavey:

Well I'm glad you stopped being shy!!!!

I'm working really really really hard on trying to get my hands to relax and look graceful. My legs and butt still have work to do but I'm pretty happy with it so far!

I have Euronext extensions in! They were about 60 bucks per pack (I got two) and each pack has 10 pieces with tracks of varying lengths. The tracks already have those bendy/snappy metal barettes in them so you just start at the back of your head and snap the tracks in going up your scalp about an inch, inch and a half apart from each other. VERY easy. I highly recommend them!

Crap I almost forgot, the hand in the back on the side poses.. mine always comes forward too. In the mirror see how it look back at your side.

Some figure girls even relax it while it's not facing front. Play around with what feels better, but the goal is not to have to focus to go to THAT HAND and distract from your package.

Just a tip, not that it applies. ;)

SEE the progress with the posing!!!!???

110% improved.

Next pics 120% ;)

Rolllllllllling the shoulder back looks b-e-a-utiful

One the old pics check out your lats... stand UP and bit on your back pose, it may be the lighting but I see too many girls roll their shoulders forward and the pop the traps up a tad. You want that back in the old pic with everything else you're bringing in the current one. :rose:

You look great girl, bravo. Truly!

Thanks for letting me throw some ideas at you!

My poses are much better in front of the mirror. I get flustered when I take progress pics because I don't have mirrors in front of me and I only have 10 seconds to run over and situate myself! AHHHH!

But I am getting better. I'll try to roll my shoulders back more. I have a problem with doing that because I find that when I roll my shoulders back/push my booty back, I look like I'm leaning forward. It looks kinda dumb. lol

But, I work on posing for about 30-60 minutes a day these days. I really do try. I think I should get used to how they're supposed to feel as i keep dropping bodyfat.

THANKS BUNZ! :bunny:

Little contest tips:

Know your competitor number
Be where the expediter can find you or within range of hearing them yell your class or number
While it's "hurry up & wait" - be where & when you are supposed to be
(don't make them chase you down - they may not)

If asked to change places - step FORWARD, raise your hand & walk in FRONT of the line - not looking down, looking at the judges, smiling, CONFIDENT, and WORK IT......just cuz you're changing spots doesn't mean you aren't ON

All of that was what I spent a lot of time doing.....running after competitors & trying to find them for lineup....so it was fresh in my mind!! :overhead:

And it's a pet peeve of mine when the Figure gals completely relax & walk head down (ie "regular" walking) along the back of the line when asked to change spots.....Way to not be noticed or to be noticed in a not so good way....and why not use it as an opportunity for the judges to notice you?

So some girls walk behind?? I've only been to one show but all the girls stepped forward and were all smiley and stuff while they switched spots. I'll have to watch all of that.
