Let's tackle some frequently asked questions to set you on the path to success!
What is the IFBB?
The IFBB stands for the International Fitness and Bodybuilding Federation. It's the world's leading governing body for bodybuilding and fitness competitions, including the prestigious Figure division. The IFBB sanctions numerous events worldwide, from National Championships to the pinnacle of the sport – the IFBB World Figure Championships. Competing under the IFBB umbrella puts you amongst the top Figure athletes globally. In order to compete in the IFBB, one must first compete in the NPC division as an amateur and obtain their IFBB pro card. Once achieving this you can compete professionally in the IFBB.
What's the difference between Figure and other bodybuilding categories?
Unlike bodybuilding which emphasizes muscle mass, Figure showcases a balanced, aesthetically pleasing physique with emphasis on symmetry and proportion. Think toned curves and confident posing routines.
How should I structure my training program for Figure?
Focus on compound lifts that target multiple muscle groups, along with isolation exercises for sculpting specific areas. Don't neglect cardio – it helps maintain vascularity and definition. Consider working with a coach experienced in Figure competition training.
What's the deal with competition posing?
Striking the right poses is crucial in Figure. You'll need to master showcasing your physique from various angles, emphasizing your strengths while minimizing weaknesses. Practice in front of a mirror and consider posing classes or consultations with a competition coach.
How important is diet for a Figure competitor?
Diet is extremely important! Aim for a balanced diet with lean protein sources, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Prioritize micronutrients from fruits and vegetables. Track your macros and adjust them as needed to achieve the desired level of leanness and muscle definition.
When should I start shopping for a competition bikini?
Don't wait until the last minute! Ideally, give yourself 8-12 weeks lead time. This allows for fittings, and potential alterations, and ensures you feel confident and comfortable in your suit on competition day. But the earlier the better – we can alter your suit at a later date if your body changes further. Schedule a consultation with our experts today.
