FIGURE
First Callout Mallory Haldeman, Candice Lewis, Candice Keene, Erin Stern, Heather Dees

Mallory Haldeman “By herself Mallory, has very nice symmetry. But she just lacks the amount of muscle, especially in the rear shots, to compete with those top girls in the lineup.”

Candice Lewis “Candice has nice symmetry, but she is a little thick in her thighs compared to her upper body – the muscle in her thighs overpowers her upper body.”

Candice Keene “She looked good. She didn’t look quite as hard as she did at the Olympia. She always has to balance her muscularity with how lean she is and she did a good job of that today.”

Erin Stern “I think Erin lost a little bit of size and was a little bit flat compared to the Olympia.”

Heather Dees “Heather made the biggest improvement from the Olympia. She used to be a little bit more on the muscular side, but her last show she overshot it and didn’t have enough muscle on her shoulders. She brought it back up between the Olympia and now, but not too much.”
