Hmmmm... will be interesting to see how and if this new rule comes into play and how many of the competitors will have consciously made an attempt to downsize, I heard that Tanji was planning to decrease in size a little for the Arnold.

Date: December 6, 2004
From: Office of the Vice Chairman
IFBB Professional Division
To: All IFBB Professional Female Athletes
Re: FEMALE MUSCULARITY

For aesthetics and health reasons, the IFBB Professional Division requests that female athletes in Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure decrease the amount of muscularity by a factor of 20%.

This request for a 20% decrease in the amount of muscularity applies to those female athletes whose physiques require the decrease regardless of whether they compete in Bodybuilding, Fitness or Figure.

All professional judges have been advised of the proper criteria for assessing female physiques.

Yep and what the heck does 20% less muscle look like who can really judge that?

**PreMier** · 01-28-2005, 07:24 PM

Fuck, his arms are amazing..

**P-funk** · 01-28-2005, 07:40 PM

man, he looks killer!! those quads!! 4 weeks out and he looks better than i do on contest day....lol

**PreMier** · 01-28-2005, 08:04 PM

Yea, he looks really good. I'm sticking by my pick, I wonder what Chris looks like.

my best friend just moved out to sana monica and trains at gold venice. he said cormier is a pussy. he said he looks small (keep in mind my friend is 6'1 285lbs so everyone looks small.). he said cormier doesn't train hard at all. he does a set and then chills for like 5 or 10 min and hangs out. he said he has no work ethic. my friend was talking to charles glass and he told him that last year when cormier placed 2nd at the arnold to Jay he was still missing one out of every three workouts!!! Imagine having those great genetics and just wasting them like that.

**PreMier** · 01-28-2005, 08:10 PM

Yea, no shit.. He used to be my favorite. I have a poster of him on my wall, and he's holding a 200+Lb python.. its fucking awesome pic. He used to be ranked #2 in the world, now I dont even know where he is at.

I know Gustavo will win though. He was fucking incredible at the Olympia. I bet he beats Jay out in the next few years.

Where's Jay in that lineup????

**Egoatdoor** · 01-30-2005, 05:15 AM

Jay's taking the whole year off to prepare for the Olympia. That's the title he really wants and he had nothing left to prove at the Arnold.

I don't know, but you might see an increase in applications for baggage handlers if they do.
