Hey /fit/, my gf wants to do bikini fitness contest this summer, any tips on what I can do to help her out besides meal prepping and general mood support during her cutting phase? Like most people she gets a little cranky during cutting.
Lots of sex

10/10 =)
Actually, I'm afraid the lower body fat will lower her sex drive, but I hope not. In the meantime I was going to work out twice as hard so that I can match her cut bod, right now im sitting a little higher in bf%.

>any tips
Yeah. Make her change her mind. It's awesome that she's into training and eating well, but I personally know no less than 3 girls who've competed in bikini and have had massive health issues after having had dieted down to low bodyfat percentages. Two of them are steril at the moment.
Fit chicks are great, but steroid abusing instagram whores are not a very good physique ideal. It comes at a pretty steep price.

wait just to clarify, she isn't interested in roids - she wants to try the natty ones. She will probably drop bodyfat percentage but it's temporary, she should be back to normal by the fall, she loves to eat hahah
The girls you knew who competed in bikini, were their health issues due to the bodyfat percentage alone? I thought that's a temporary thing?
<bump>
Whay a cuck.
>Hey guys my girlfriend wants to flaunt her almost naked body to a bunch of dudes, how do I help her with this?

Yes as far as I know.
>I thought that's a temporary thing?
Normally it will be, but it's pretty dangerous for a girl to get that low and it can easily have consequences even after she's regained weight.

ah fuck, now I'm conflicted. I dont want her to have lasting health issues. I'll probably look up some stats and stuff, she's pretty into fitness so she'll understand if I give her some backed research. Thanks m8

if she goes below like 20% she'll lose her tits fyi

Bodybuilding shows are really anything but glorious backstage. Even among men you see people getting driven off in ambulances, and it's much safer for men to take their bodyfat levels that low. Of course bikini fitness usually isn't as bad as the bodybuilding classes, but some girls still take it pretty far.

If it helps, my ex-gf did competitions (broke up due to long distance, not anything to do with them) so I knew her and all her comp friends. None of them had issues because they weren't cut full time like a lot of Insta chicks. Most of them did powerlifting in the winter during their bulk and only water cut for weigh ins, and then did like a competition every month/month and a half during the season for which they'd do their general cut then five-seven days of "super cut".
So wait, in bikini shows they want you to have as little bf (haha chuck pun) as possible? What about all the boob and butt stuff that bikinis are supposed to show off? Do they just not care about any sort of padding anymore?

>Do they just not care about any sort of padding anymore?
Not really, it's gotten more extreme (in Denmark anyway). That said, many of them have fake tits.
>>36543801
we're both asian so not a big deal imho.
>>36543807
yeah I'm getting to learn that the more she talks about prep and stuff. But that's life, she wants to do something gotta support her y'know?
>>36543826
ty this is more along the lines of what she's looking for, she doesn't really care for the cut look all the time she just wants to try a comp to see how it's like. At most she'll take E/C stack with vitamins and high protein food - I cook a lot so I can make her decent food with perfect macros

glutes get larger and shapely with muscle mass, and bikini is different from bodybuilding comps in that it's less about having huge muscles and more about balance and low-ish bodyfat. Posing is also a big part of it, helps show off muscle groups.

Well that kinda sucks. So it's a bunch of banana shaped girls with some of them that have lopsidies? Shame.
You'd think it would be more about looking like a Victoria's Secret model.

It used to be. The bikini "class" was actually introduced to make more people interested in the show, because who the hell doesn't like looking at half naked chicks. But the class has evolved as "fitness" has gotten increasingly more trendy. They now like to refer to themselves as "bikini athletes" and often create their own facebook page and shit like that. It's pretty ridiculous, really. It's a bro-science fueled subculture where everybody has a self-proclaimed "coach" who really knows nothing about training. But it doesn't matter. It's all about projecting a certain image.
