Fusion Hack: Wear Your Suit Correctly with Margaret Bialkin
Welcome back to the Fit Body Lifestyle, where we balance fitness, health, and all the details that make your hard work shine on stage. Today, we’re diving into a deceptively simple yet game-changing topic: how to properly wear your competition suit. Joined by Margaret Bialkin from the iconic Toxic Angel Bikinis, this episode is packed with insights to help athletes showcase their physiques flawlessly.
Key Takeaways:
The Importance of Suit Fit: A competition suit is more than just fabric—it’s a tool to enhance your physique and create balance.
Tops: Positioning and Adjustments: Tighten It Right: The top should be snug around the neck and bust to avoid wardrobe mishaps and ensure cleavage. Keep the cups centered on your chest—not in your armpits. Shift your breast tissue into the cups for the best shape. Use molded cups, pillow stuffing, or specialized bra pads for added volume. If you’re petite, size up in your top to ensure you have room for these adjustments.
Bottoms: Frame Your Glutes Correctly. The back of the bottoms should sit just above the glutes, not on your lower back. This creates a rounder, fuller look. High-back adjustments can drop the front, distorting your torso length and causing the suit to gape. The suit should frame your glutes and upper thighs, accentuating the muscles you’ve worked hard to develop.
Bikini Fabric and Adjustments: Toxic Angel suits are heat-pressed, ensuring stones stay put. If the suit feels too tight initially, stretch it gently in width and length to customize the fit. Bodybuilding is about creating balance through careful framing. Use your suit to highlight your strengths.
