That's masculine? Oh my, you should have seen the bodybuilders... The figure class is supposed to be feminine. Poise and femininity are major things that the judges look for, which is a big reason why every single figure competitor on a national/pro level has fake tits (and they're a lot more muscular and lean than I). Figure poses are incredibly uncomfortable and are meant to show off curves (butt, shoulders, boobs with a narrow waist), whereas bodybuilding poses are designed to showcase actual muscle groups.
Again, I only look the way I did on stage maybe 1/20th of the time. I still have definition, but I only look "muscular" if I'm flexing or something.
This is a month and a half before my last competition (before I even knew I'd be competing in one):
This is exactly one week before my comp... Still not ridiculously lean (I weighed about 140 here):
