Since the last time we did a summary of the female bodybuilding classes in NZ years ago, so many new classes have popped up so I thought it would be a good idea to give you an overview of what's available to you and your bodytype in New Zealand right now. There are many options for you to choose from whether you're complete new to bodybuilding and taking up competing as part of your new body makeover or a seasoned weight training athlete challenging your body to step up to another level. One of these classes is for you! This is just a general overview of the classes so please if you require more information about the classes and posing involved please contact the organisation directly. |
 1. NZIFBB Bikini |
 2. NABBA Shape |
 3. NABBA WFF Glamour |
1. NZIFBB bikini bodies are generally toned and not overmuscled with hard abs and a great booty. You must also convey confidence and have that 'pop' on stage. 2. NABBA Shape. You'll need to have some muscle tone with good symmetry and minimal striations and cuts. You'll also be required to do compulsory poses and do a routine to music which is 50% of the score. 3. NABBA WFF Glamour. Probably the most demanding of the 3 classes as you have 3 events during the contest including bikini, sportswear and glamour. You'll need to have a toned athletic figure but again not overly muscled. |

9, 10 and 11 Thank goodness bodybuilding is still bodybuilding in all of the abovementioned federations. In this classes judges require you to have muscle mass as the main goal combined with cuts and striations which complement your physique. As you can see, there's definitely something for everyone. Choose one of these classes and give it a go! You might just see yourself on Go Figure motivating others to do it just like you. Happy training! Lisa, Go Figure February 2013 |
