The Results

Unfortunately for Lauren, she did not place in any of the three categories in which she competed. Her results are below:

Figure Debut: 6/6
Figure Novice Short: 6/6
Figure Open Short: 8/8

Lauren said she has learned a lot and might compete again as soon as October, which means she will have to start training in July.

According to the judges, she was too muscular for the figure division. It is also possible that not putting her heels together during the Figure Open Short category could have cost her. She will also be careful not to nervously toss her hair or extend her arm out too far, which was a repeat problem for her as she fought through the nerves.

Next time she competes, she will have to choose between figure and bodybuilding. If she chooses figure, she will have to lean up drastically. If she chooses bodybuilding, she will have to bulk up and build more muscle.

Lauren said she chose to compete in the figure division because you only have to learn four mandatory poses. In bodybuilding, there a tons of different poses you have to learn. If she decides to bodybuild, mastering the poses will be a new challenge for her.
