What is the NPC Bikini Division looking for??

The hardest part about being a bikini competitor can be to understand what the judges actually want to see in your physique.

Angel Competition Bikinis is here to help with what we think the NPC judges are looking for in 2019.

1. A foundation of muscle which gives shape to the female body.

Another strategy to see what the judges are looking for is to look at recent winners on the national stage.

Both Ashley Kaltwasser and Jodii Fox took third at the Arnold Classic in NPC and IFBB. They are wonderful examples of what the judges look for. In absolutely stacked classes, they came out on top.

Ashley is the epitome of feminine physique. She is balanced, has a tight, conditioned core, and has so much poise on stage!

Jodii as well shows grace and confidence on stage. She has slightly rounded delts and fantastic glutes.

Both of these athletes are goals to strive for!

The last topic relating to what we think the NPC Judges are looking for is not new to 2019. This is your suit fabric color.

We think you should choose a fabric that compliments your skin tone, especially with your competition tan. A few of Angel Competition Bikinis favorite fabrics are: Hologram Emerald, Hologram Eggplant, and Hologram Dark Blue. Our Hologram Teal is becoming increasingly popular on the competition stage!
