what made you decide which one you wanted to compete in?
For me, I chose bikini, because I
the beautiful muscles, femininity and lack of required poses. Plus, I kinda like the suits better, too. Just a personal preference overall. I do very much respect and admire figure competitors, though!

I'm still considering bikini, but m still thinks that I'm crazy for even considering it. I think the last time we talked about it the word he used was delusional. He's never before been anything other than very supportive, so ive been taking his response pretty seriously.0

aw, that stinks. Support is so important. Maybe one day he'll change his mind on it.0 -

LOL @ Ipuffyheart: the suits are much cuter for Bikini IMO, which is a factor for me too.
But I'm trying for Bikini because it's more attainable for my body type and it fits my lifestyle since (I assume) Figure would take a bit more discipline to achieve. Also, Bikini is just my personal preference though I think I admire the Figure mentality more.0 -
I'm planning to compete in figure next year. While the suits are cuter [and less expensve] in the bikini division, I just really want to challenge myself and step it up a notch physique-wise.0

I will be competing in figure in June for the first time. I have a very large frame, being 5'10", and tend to carry a lot of muscle naturally, so I don't know if I could compete with the girls in bikini. I also naturally have the "V' shape that is looked for in figure, with wide shoulders and a narrow waist and hips. I've seen good results so far prepping for figure, but we'll see.0

I choose Figure, based on multiple things. One, I don't haev the body for bikini. I am naturally too muscular and thick. With that in mind, figure was a really good fit body type wise. I also do like the figure suits better. The way they cross in the back and are all sparkly, makes them feel like something different than a regular bathing suit. I feel like for most people you're going to have a body type that puts you into one category or another. You can always do whichever you want, but run the risk of not doing as well.0

I started out in Natural figure, but even the natty gals were getting bigger, so also did bikini (they allowed cross-overs). So now going back in after having baby #6 and with all my medical issues, I'm doing bikini to start. We shall see from there.0

I chose bikini because of my hourglass shape. According to my trainer he tells his girls which one they would fit best in (bikini or figure) based on their body shape mainly. Curves = bikini. Broad back or no curves = figure. Of course other things come into play but I was training with my friend Amanda who is going to be doing figure and when we asked him why we were better suited for those and not vice versa, that's what he told us.0
