So, you think you know how to judge Figure?
« on: June 25, 2008, 08:17:06 AM »
I want you to place these girls, A, B, C, D, E, from 1-5. This was NOT the "first call out" at the contest where this picture was taken, it was actually like the 3rd or 4th call out. I just want to see what you guys think.

Don't automatically put the girl in the center in first, just because it traditionally works that way when you're being scored.

Use your instinct and pick the one who YOU think has the best overall package in 1st and then go 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th from there. Any comments on any of the girls would be great!

From Left to Right: A, B, C, D, E

A and C switched positions between the two pics.


Based on the order of the first pic (back shot), I would go B, A, E, C, D.

Based on the first pic, I'd look at the hips/glutes since this is the biggest problem area for women.  That being said, BCD automatically top 3.  E should really consider switching over to bodybuilding with those tree trunks.

When facing front...It can go either way, B or D, I'd give it to D though  ;)

My 2 cents
just not good enough

Exactly. I'm trying to confuse you. Review both pictures and give me 1-5 based on what you see in both pics.

Ricky


Confusing me isn't going to help me give a clear answer.  I would go with B in first, and then A from the top pic (C in the bottom pic). I personally like E and would put her third, but she wouldn't place that high with those legs in figure.  I put D in last because of her crappy posing, but she looks pretty good.  

I suppose my final answer based on A-E in the top pic would be B, A, D, E, C although the last three could go in just about any order.

My personal preference between the two comparisons, as you can see varies quite a bit between front-n-back -




2 3 4 5 1




2 1 5 4 3

It's ok. It's your opinion. Use your criteria, not the so called, "NPC Figure criteria"

So, who do you think is the best? Call it as you see, not the way the judge sees it.

I can't figure out what to do with D because her posing is not good at all in either of those pics, but it looks like she has a really good physique, possibly good enough for the top spot if she posed better and we could actually see her back.

FINAL ANSWER  ;D - B, A, D, E, C


What's the point you are trying to make?  Other than the fact that figure is very subjective and there is always a HUGE range of physiques on the stage, making it very hard to be consistent with judging.

Pick the one that looks the best to YOU. Use your own guidelines. Who do you personally like the most for 1st? Then go 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th.

Haha. Talk about self-owning and turning back the clock on women's rights, etc. When you 'compete' in an activity that requires lucite/stripper heels, you've already lost.  :-\

I just want your opinions. That's all. No point exactly.


Other than the fact that figure is very subjective and there is always a HUGE range of physiques on the stage, making it very hard to be consistent with judging.


In this case, you don't have to be "consistent with judging"

Use your own common sense and call it as you see it. Use your own judging criteria. What kind of "Figure Physique" do you like?

My personal preference is a little different than the current standard for judging figure. 
I like a physique that is very hard and muscular with visible abs, broad and capped shoulders, a small waist, very tight glutes (nothing hanging or jiggling) and full legs with good quad sweep and some separation.  None of these girls really fit the bill for me 100%.
