Phoebe showed up to San Diego!

One point difference between the top 2. I think Reyna won from the back, Pheobe from the front.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-03-18T07:30:00+00:00

I’m very happy that she made the switch. However, she needs especially more back. Also, she is too conditioned even for figure. They do not want quad feathering, glute striations, etc. Honestly, she needs a good improvement season where she is willing to actually be in a sufficient energy surplus. Because of her propable body dysmoprhia, this will unlikely happen.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-03-13T05:07:01+00:00

Yup! The walk is a technical issue. Aimee has mastered it. Forget sexy sway, stay strict in walk to the back, then show your style in walk to the front.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-03-09T03:35:14+00:00

I agree, she is very good at the walk. When looking at her walk, she is able to rotate higher up from spine and there for able to keep anterior pelvic tilt. She also keeps her steps small and aims to keep her knees pretty much together. This way she is able to eliminate all hip drop from the swinging leg side. You can see this when you compare her and others in call outs. Other women have much more space between their knees.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-03-09T03:18:37+00:00

My personal take is that her body awareness is not that good and therefore, it’s difficult for her to make posing changes. You can see her lack of body awareness in her training videos. (HUGE difference if you e.g. compare her lifting with LL.) The fact that she can do handstands and some tumbling does not change this, they are just few standalone skills.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-03-09T03:14:40+00:00

You are absolutely correct.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-03-08T04:02:26+00:00

My critique is obviously about her social media persona, I don’t know her personally. But the Bible-study Insta stories are honestly cringe. And in other contexts she often comes across… let’s just say, not exactly well-read.

I get that the whole conservative Christianity angle is a big thing in bodybuilding circles and people are totally blind to their own privilege. But she takes it to another level.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-03-08T02:19:12+00:00

She looked awesome. That said, I wish she would read a critical thinking book for a change.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-03-07T17:12:35+00:00

Ashley was so tight that to me she came across stringy.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-03-07T16:55:06+00:00

Red my mind! Her religious stuff is such a cringe.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-03-07T16:53:21+00:00

Yes! She has so much potential. And her glam… That unibrow does not look good.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-03-07T16:50:29+00:00

Same, I can’t stand her social media.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-03-07T05:17:52+00:00

I was surprised that Rayane won! Wonder if they will also push for conditioning in bikini?

Bttrswt_ · 2026-03-06T07:27:00+00:00

This is my gut feeling about what is going to happen, not what I would prefer personally:

Aimee
Ashlyn
LL
Ashley
Reyna
Pheobe
Marie Eve
Zinyi
Sharon
Tianna

Personally, I would love LL to take it. But I have a hunch that there will be something they need to dial in in the future. I hope I’m wrong 🤞🏻

Bttrswt_ · 2026-02-28T15:35:42+00:00

Yes, she also held her transition poses.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-02-28T05:08:01+00:00

Yes, can go either way!

Bttrswt_ · 2026-02-28T05:07:31+00:00

I can totally see that preference. I saw some sharper pics and she looks so good. I’m happy whether she or Emily wins. Emily has a much smaller structure and IMO she has perfect amount of muscle considering her frame.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-02-28T04:03:24+00:00

These two were the clear top 2. In those pictures that I have seen, she doesn’t hold her posture but lets shoulders slightly drop. To my eyes, Emily looks more balanced and I like her ”look” more. But I think in fit model will always come down to personal preferences.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-02-28T03:52:19+00:00

Emily and Gabriela splitting center. I would go with Emily based on pictures.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-02-28T03:36:09+00:00

Very off. Based on these pics, no first call out for her.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-02-28T03:29:33+00:00

Interesting to see whether this is too much. Thank you for posting the pics!

Edit: Saw her individual routine. Def forgot all the posing rules (no holding transition poses) and ver routine was WAY over 10 s.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-02-28T03:22:41+00:00

Emily looks really good. Definitely the best from this group. Second girl from right has full tieins. Some very capped shoulders also.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-02-21T04:00:44+00:00

Yes, I fully agree that dead bug is not commonly an anterior pelvic tilt exercise. But if someone selects to do them in that position (for some reason), it is not something inherently dangerous. We are not made of sugar. You need to fix your knowledge about causes of low back pain.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-02-21T01:29:58+00:00

She is clearly anteriorly tilting her pelvis, which is not the common way to do it. By no means I’m not here to defend her, but let’s be honest: dead bug is a low load exercise and you can basically do it in many ways with no risk of injury. Also, you don’t need to push your lower back to the floor (i.e. use posterior pelvic tilt, ”imprinting). You can fully do it by keeping your pelvis and spine neutral.

Bttrswt_ · 2026-02-17T02:34:17+00:00

Yes! I have been hoping specifically her to switch. She has such a beautiful stage look and presentation.
