This past weekend was the Mr Olympia contest. Phil Heath won by the way, but the Olympia has many different categories. The women’s section has Ms. Olympia, Figure, Fitness, Physique (a new competition), and Bikiki. That’s a lot of categories. One of the bodybuilders I follow was disgusted with the bikini category and suggested it be eliminated altogether. He called it the “plastic surgery, doesn’t work out” category. Funny, but not far off, unfortunately. Compare this clip of the winner of the bikini Olympia to this clip of the fitness Olympia winner
The bikini champion makes a lot of basic mistakes in her exercises while the fitness champion shows real fitness. Love those pullups. The point: train like the fitness champion and ignore the bikini champs routine!
