NPC Nationals Figure Breakdown | Why These 2 Athletes Earned Their IFBB Pro Cards

Two athletes earned their IFBB Pro cards in this Figure class at NPC Nationals, but for very different reasons.

In this breakdown, Coach Ry goes deep into what separated first through fifth place, how Figure judging actually works in 2026, and the biggest mistakes competitors keep making with conditioning, symmetry, and lower body balance.

This is the kind of detail most athletes completely overlook.
Inside this video:
* What creates a winning Figure V taper
* Why shape matters more than just size
* Conditioning mistakes that cost placings
* Back pose breakdowns and lower body balance
* Why some athletes look “off” even when lean
* What national-level judges are rewarding right now

If you compete in Figure or want to eventually earn your IFBB Pro card, this is exactly what you need to study.
