Dana Linn Bailey lifting back at Golds

**Built** · 03-30-2011, 12:48 AM

I've tried one on, at the Arnold last year, then saw them again at the Olympia and again at this year's Arnold. I was thinking they'd have been great for me when a herniate disc pressed a nerve that put a dimmer-switch on my left hand and lat. This bypasses being limited for the higher-rep pumping stuff at the end where the predominance of slow-twitch seen throughout back musculature makes it attractive as a training modality, particular for stabilizers.

She does one hell of a job selling that thing. She starts out being jacked in her own right, then proceeds to do heavy, unsupported t-bar rows, bent-over-rows, and weighted chins to evidence the observation any of us here would see: this bodybuilder knows how to lift. She transitions through a back workout (one that is frankly too long, but highlights her badass-ness) and into the use of that strap.

Outside of rehab, I wasn't even that interested in it when I first saw it, and now I think I want one. Maybe I got to see it demonstrated properly; or maybe it's the fact that I can identify with this athlete's body. Her build isn't dramatically different from mine when I'm a little more cut up; she's jacked and she's lean but she's not huge and she's not diced, just muscular and lean, and attractive, and feminine. And knowledgeable.

Really, I think it's the first time a female athlete in my sport has influence my decision weather or not to buy a lifting accessory. Decisions surrounding the very few items I carry with me - a thera-band, my Inzer (that Juggernaut and Nkira bought me a couple of years ago) came from men in the sport, not women.

Very cool. I feel played, but oddly, in this case, I like it.

I wouldn't feel played necessarily. I think the device has merit.

**sassy69** · 03-30-2011, 02:15 AM

The next question is where do you find one of those??

$225 for the equipment, not bad in the grand scheme.

I wish more women would avoid implants. In today's America people think they can just get a new nose, lips, breasts, chin, etc. just because they can.

I am happy with my body

I really think more women need to be happy with their bodies. It is all about confidence. And the Industry does not help. lol

And thank you for the nice welcome

I was happy with my body before the rack, and I'm happy now. If I hadn't been fat, I doubt I would have bothered - I never minded being small - it was the "skin bag" thing that happened when I dropped the 50 or so pounds of fat that had earlier been clinging to me for all those years. Damned loose skin.

Dana Linn, you look phenomenal. Could you give us a little backgrounder on what drew you to this sport? How long have you been training, and what did you look like before you started?

For females, I would argue a tie between; Gena, Built, Little Wing, Sassy69, & DanaLinnBailey. I haven't seen photos of other members, so this list is subject to change.

The above comment is not misogynistic in nature, merely an observation.
