Can I compete in more than 1 model category even though the ideal physique for each category is different?
Yes! You may as well take advantage of the fact that you are already stage ready so use each category as a way to get yourself more exposure, more experience, more photos, more opportunities to be scouted and more memories! If you choose to do more than one model category you should choose different outfits (more varied photos) and also stand and walk differently to best display yourself within that category guidelines. So you would stand most relaxed for Swimsuit Model vs Muscle Model where you may stand by flexing your shoulders and legs more (with out actually conveying that to the judges). Plus, since it is a competition and there are more aspects than just hte physique that come into play, you may do very well in multiple categories - it all depends who you are standing beside. :-)
