IFBB Women's Head Judge Sandy Willamson Talks Bikini

[steph]

I'm glad the criteria is finally coming together and I think it's good to finally have a standard to look towards, however I cringed every time she said the word "soft". I really wish the NPC/IFBB bikini division was along the lines of Fitness America. It's making the NPC/IFBB sound like they don't want fit females, even though I know that isn't the case. I'm not busting my ass to look "soft". I'm just not as hard as a figure girl, but I wish there was another term they would use to describe it, so not to confuse people..

What word would you substitute for "soft"?

What word would you substitute for "soft"?

"Smooth"?

Thanks, Press!

Umm, I think there should still be a degree of leanness... just not to the same degree as figure or fitness, that's all. I hate the word "toned", but that's a better way to describe it I guess.

"Soft" just makes me think of jiggly. It doesn't say "I train and I train hard!"

I DO train hard. I train almost every friggin' day. I diet hard. I work my ass off! I don't work my ass off to look "soft". I know that isn't exactly how they mean it, but I still take offense to that word because it's everything I'm trying so hard not to be. Damn, genetics holding me back... I want to be lean and hard!
