The figure bikini is a staple of the classic women's bodybuilding competition.
It is specifically designed to show off maximum muscle across the entire body so the judges can access the figure.
It typically features a 2 piece bikini with a gathered triangle bikini top and v- shaped front and back bikini bottoms.
The top ties as a halter neck and has long back straps that crossover and attach to the bikini bottoms at the back.
