Hi Nicole!
I’m at a crossroads right now and can’t find any legit advice online anywhere else. I figured you’d be the best PRO to ask! I have been off stage for over a year and for a year I have been planning my wedding and been super inconsistent with my training routine. My last show was a small all natural show but I am looking to compete in NPC for the first time this year. I won my last show as figure but the demands of a figure competitor in NGA are not the same as a figure competitor in NPC. I am back to training and eating the way I should before my cut starts after the new year but I was wondering how I know if I need to stay in figure or bump down to bikini. Genetically, I don’t easily pack on muscle–I’m 5’8″ and have always been just about skin and bone until I discovered weightlifting. I love the sport of figure–the diet, the posing, the suits..EVERYTHING. I’m just nervous that I will set myself up for failure if I don’t start at bikini in these bigger shows. I’d love to know what you think!
Thanks!

I’m a figure competitor and I competed in my first show last May. I won’t be competing again until early next year after my wedding and honeymoon. I was 14% body fat at my show and now I am sitting at 19%. I naturally hold a lot of water and it can be frustrating. I was wondering, what’s keeping me from showing vascularity? Is it subcutaneous fat/water? Is it body fat? Even on stage, with the little pump I had, I showed no vascularity. Can you help me figure out what’s keeping me from seeing this so that I don’t run into the same issue for my next show?
Thanks! (:Hey Nicole!
