Beauty contests have been held for a long time and are usually among fashion models. Bodybuilders decided to make their own female beauty contest, but female bodybuilders did not become as popular as teenage girls from the fashion industry.
Gradually, the muscle requirements for women in bodybuilding competitions decreased. This is how they first did the fitness competition, and then dropped to the bikini category. Now that's Fit model.
This is how the most popular category of female bodybuilding with minimal muscles appeared.
The preparation of bikini athletes consists of the same elements as the preparation of bodybuilders: nutrition, training, posing.
Bikinist training
The training of bikini athletes is not much different from the training of bodybuilders. The only peculiarity is that the emphasis in training is on the legs and shoulders.
In a bikini, rounded buttocks, a narrow waist and fairly wide shoulders are valued - wide relative to the waist.
Bikinists spend 2/3 of their training time training their buttocks, thighs and calves; 1/3 – shoulders, back, chest and arms.
They often don’t train their abs, because training the abs makes their waist wider. On the contrary, to create a waist, many of them already wear a corset.
Bikini athletes do sets with a relatively large number of repetitions. Usually 12-20.

Organizers, sponsors, promoters
For organizers it's the other way around. The more participants, the better. More fees for membership fees, more viewers (participants invite relatives and friends!). And basically this money comes from the most numerous category - fitness bikini (although the men's physicist also shows promise). But as a rule, about 20% of the girls could be “turned up” for poor form even before the scene. But no one does this so as not to lose the same percentage of income.
Think about what is better - to go on stage no matter what, “just stand” for your own money, or to watch the show from the audience, saving both money and self-esteem?
Bikinist nutrition
The diet of good bikinists is balanced and limited in calories.
Bikiniskta can't afford to get too corroded between competitions. Moreover, a bikinist who earns money from her body all year round cannot afford to get upset.
Large fluctuations in weight can lead to stretch marks on the skin. Stretch marks are not allowed in a bikini. Therefore, bikini is a competition for young and nulliparous women.
Among bikini women there are women who have given birth and have avoided stretch marks after childbirth. Bikinists who gave birth without stretch marks themselves explain this by skin genetics.
Closer to competitions, the nutrition of bikini athletes becomes stricter in carbohydrates. This allows you to lose 2-5 kg of necessary fat before competition.
Losing 2-5 kg of essential fat can lead to loss of periods.
