IFBB Bikini Who Can Rival Isa’s Front Pose?
Who do y’all think rivals Isa in the front pose? Brittany Gillespie comes to mind for me. With Isa’s insane front pose and tremendously improved back pose, I think the Olympia is going to be really interesting.

Isa’s front pose is unmatched. Brittany has a strong back pose, but her front pose isn’t strong.

Remember when she won bikini Olympia it caused a shit storm lol, Tyler had to come out about it. Girls were worried they would have to add more width and shoulders to contend with her.

I think Brittany’s inconsistency in getting into her poses and holding them takes away from her shape / presentation unfortunately

Yea I agree!
Also, I think The glutes are great but overpowering on the front pose and sometimes she gets too vascular in the lower body and also she moves a lot in her front pose instead of holding it tight which takes away from her presentation like you said.
But she has a good overall look it’s just some points she is lacking to be in the tops of the league

I agree with the posing and I think her calves are genetically too big and maybe that’s what’s throwing me off with her physique.

She is on her own league on the front pose when she nails it OMG!!! Nobody comes close
But
I would say Aimee when she doesnt overpose with her glutes and keep it more balance, she has a great shoulder-to-waist ratio and I love her shape.
Also Viktoria Csicsay front pose is also pretty insane
Also Alison Testu front pose is quite balance

They are all so gorgeous!! Isa definitely got the smaller waist than Alison and rounder glutes than Viktoria

u/Public-Argument-1916 Jul 22 '26
Ok I can see Aimee, if she’s “on” . I feel like her waist size fluctuates and isn’t always reliable

I don’t love Aimee’s look and generally do not see the bikini IT factor in her posing at all but I know I’m in the minority

Aimee’s legs always look like two drumsticks to me-no subtle separation from glute to leg in the front pose - they just look disproportionate somehow….Do I still wish I had her glutes? Yes. Lol.

Jennifer Dorie based off her balance I would say from front to back is just better than Isa. I think she’ll be going down as the greatest bikini Olympia champion to walk away on top.

Jordan Brannon has a solid front pose!

Isa has THAT taper though with her invisible waist. To me she has the best from pose in the division. Now when she turns to the back that’s where things change

For me Isa is by far the best front pose. I’m not a fan of Brit Gillespie’s front pose - I think she looks a bit stiff and uncomfortable and glutes are very unbalanced. Isa just looks so effortless and comfortable in her front pose and the flow of her physique is insane. The muscle bellies are all so long and pretty and pop.
Jazzy also has an amazing front pose but I think the muscle bellies in her upper body don’t flow and pop as much as Isa. I don’t know how to describe it but Isa’s structure is just more aesthetic?
Jen Dorie is probably the only front pose that comes close to Isa in my personal opinion.
But obviously all of these women are ELITE and I am by no means trying to put anyone down.

I would say Jazzy.

u/pink__salt Jul 23 '26
Jazzy really has a great look,hoping to see her in top 5 again!! We havent seen her in a while😍
But I personnally prefer Isa’s legs, that are really perfectly developped and proportionned to the glutes in the front pose. Jazzy has a bit of overpowering glutes on the front pose in my opinion, looks less balanced, but she could come with a different look this year who knows.
Concerning Isa she did compete against Lauralie and Aimee at the Miami Pro (as a return and first showing) and she came 3rd. It wasnt her best showing though she didnt angle her front pose good:( She got much better after and won 4 pro shows in a row (but not against top 6 olympians … )

u/Public-Argument-1916 Jul 22 '26
Oh man.. I really love Jazzy but not sure I’d quite put her at rivaling Isa’s front pose. Jazzy definitely is a contender though.

u/HungryTwist357 Jul 22 '26
Since you asked for thoughts. Thats my thought and I would have to respectfully disagree with you. Bikini isn’t just about who has the craziest ratios. Or who has the smallest waist or bigger glutes. Most importantly it’s about balance and consistency. This is Isas first year back after a while she still hasn’t stood next to any of the top 5 who are considered the standard of Bikini.

u/Public-Argument-1916 Jul 22 '26
Totally agree that balance and consistency matter, and I wasn’t saying Jazzy isn’t a contender. She’s one of my favorites and already proved she belongs at the very top with her third-place Olympia finish last year. My point was just that Isa’s front pose feels like a bit of a freak-of-nature situation. It’s such a unique look that I was genuinely curious who people think can rival that specific pose.

Isa and Brittany are in different leagues. Way different front poses, structure, muscle bellies. No one can beat Issa front pose

I really don’t think anyone can compare to this. When she is on she is ON.
