What is Bikini?
The Bikini category is the latest edition to the world of bodybuilding competitions, the contest is for toned women who want to show off their physique without the extremity of the figure category. There is no specific percentage of body fat or musculature that is ideal for this category, rather it's what suits that athlete best. Competitors should display a toned physique with symmetrical upper and lower body development. No excessive muscularity or conditioning. Physique should be lean without excessive body fat, but should not display significant muscle size, separation or striation. Abdominal definition is acceptable but a ripped "six pack" is not ideal for this division.
