Figure, Fitness and Bikini

[underworldmagic]

Can someone please tell me what the differences are between Figure, Fitness and Bikini? and what do you usually call the female bodybuilding competition (ie you get the Miss Universe pageant, and then you get the Miss Universe bodybuilding comp - whats the bodybuilding "version" actually called?)

Thanks.

Figure= Quarter turns and personallity pose. Mild amount of muscle 13-16% BF.
Fitness=Same as Figure except a routine is performed at night with certain strength and flexibility moves being mandatory.
Bikini= Beach body soft look, no poses or quarter turns, 18-24% BF.
As far what do you call the female bodybuilding competition. Well, it depends on the show, it is usually referred to as "Female Bodybuilding" If you are asking what the top show is it would be the Ms Olympia.

Thanks man, i really appreciate the reply. The "Miss Universe" is a beauty pageant, but the bodybuilding version is also called "Miss Universe" - thats what confused me.

If you have been paying attention you will have noticed they have been dramatically smaller the last few years. The judges have been awarding a softer more feminine look lately and the competitors have been taking note. Check out the pics from Nationals where the last pro cards were awarded and I think you would be surprised at how much less androgenic the women look these days.
