Good question, and I hope someone will make this a bit clearer. I get a bit confused by all of the different category names, and sometimes find it difficult to work out why someone is in one category and not another.

I'm familiar with the figure and physique terminology (not sure about body fitness), and thought that there was more of an emphasis on full on muscle in the physique category, and that there was a different measure for the figure category.

But having said that, the overall winner of the recent Welly figure competition (who I thought looked fantastic, for the record) confused me, because when I saw her lined up with all the other figure competitors, she looked completely different (in terms of sheer level of muscle), and I thought she looked more like the physique competitors.

I'm further confused by some of the discussion in the NZFBB rule change thread, where there has been some discussion of NZ standards being different to international.

So I'm with Alison and would love some enlightenment on this!

Hi everyone.. thanks... wow it is confusing!!!

I think I am a little clearer though now. :?

Thanks for the answers - definitely a bit clearer. I guess part of why I was confused about Body Fitness is that I don't think anyone entered in that category at the recent Wgtn comp that I went to watch (I just checked out the results to confirm that, and I can't see Body Fitness anywhere) - so this extra category was baffling me, especially given the range of different types of physiques of some of the figure competitors.

I am also a bit confused by this. But thank you for bringing some light to the matter...
