oh ok I thought so. Just so you know, you can play with the way your legs look abit, because of the way you stand, you don't have to stand straight on with Fame. You can stand with a slight twist at the waist, well basicly like the last pics I posted, it takes away alittle size on the quads.

Another little thing I picked up from working w/ my trainer - for figure when they do the quarter turns, particularly facing the back (butt to judges), you some times see the girls sort of bending forward a little - gets rid of the line where your buns hang over.

If you browse the figure pix even in this little show I went to in GA, you can see the different ways the girls stand to show off or hide certain features.

http://georgiabodybuilding.com - go about 1/2 way down to below the winner pic for the "NPC Atlantic USA Bodybuilding & Figure Results 3-19-05" - just below that pic is a link to "Photos Online from Atlantic USA New Updated". Click there & look thru the figure girls. Note some strange angles they are standing at. The photographer may have caught them from a different angle than the judges see, thus revealing the bending over which looks funny from that vantage, but removes things like the butt line facing the judges.

And I"m not even talking about the correct way to stand beign straight or w/ a twist. At that show, the judges required everyone to stand straight and 1/2 the girls were lost because they only knew how to stand w/ the twist pose.

I went to the seminar that the NPC held for the judges of figure. After listening to them for an hour talk about symetry and what the judges should be looking for (they even brought in pro figure winners to look at) I was sure I understood it. Then I went to 4 competitions and every one of them was judged differently from head to toe. I think it's best to keep in mind that the judges are still, after 3 years, learning what look should win a figure competition. I really think, as Shadow pointed out, that legs are not as important to the judges as they are to the competitors in most cases. They are much more likely to overlook flaws in legs than they are abs, upper body and butt or stage presence.

Gotta agree w/ Ulter - its different every time, partially because it is still extremely subjective as to what is "feminine but muscular". Consistently tho, I've seen girls w/ very well developed, larger legs get passed over every time for the longer, leaner look. The "big" look gets too much into BB. But the abs need to be there, the shoulders, and of course, "the look".
