^^ Your point?

they are obviously skilled in manipulating their bodies, why don't they use their knowledge and abilities to make themselves breathtakingly beautiful?

instead they look like a combination of men and women

Because this is the most annoying discussion in the sport of bodybuilding, it is the sport of bodybuilding and not a beauty pageant. And when it comes to a beauty pageant, it becomes entirely subjective, and is completely subject to the subjectivity of each judge and everyone who happens to be watching, from whatever context they are viewing.

Basically if you don't view this from the context of a fan of bodybuilding and are interested in judging it in terms of bodybuilding physique, then you don't need to come into this thread and make a comment, If you don't like it, don't look at it. I personally start to find it annoying that judging of Bikini is reduced to commenting on hair & suit, which has precious little to do w/ a physique competition. But I don't bother commenting about it.

sassy: i really like and appreciate the effort behind the sport of bodybuilding and how much training and sacrifices these women go through, i am a bodybuilder myself and i love bodybuilding and i understand what you are saying....i understand why a man bodybuilder go for steroids and things like that, to look bigger and more muscular etc....and also i understand why women want also to get muscular etc... like you said it is the sport of bodybuilding , but still it is very strange and i ask myself is it worth it that a woman who can train naturally and achieve very nice physique naturally go through all the risks and some irreversible side effects in order to look like a man, ....the way some of these women look is becoming really disturbing, and i think part of the responsibility here lies on the judging system who encourages women to go to such extremes....i thing the whole olympia system of judging and the whole concept of bodybuilding must be redefined and reconsidered.

 

[Standard Donkey]

muscularity is considered a masculine trait... while i do greatly appreciate women with a somewhat muscular physique e.g. jamie eason.. it's like holy shit... cmon on


itd basically be like men using copious amounts of estrogen and dressing in drag onstage for the mr. olympia.

 

[bjg]

^^^ I just watched the whole video and i agree some of these women are too much they are really scary looking, and their voices!!!!!

At the risk of wanting to share a slice of this year's Olympia, the most popular event of the year in this sport, highlighting part of the ultra elite of the sport who commit at least the same amount of passion that you do in the gym, feel free to post your deep insight on this small, relatively slow forum on one of the better boards amongst a sea of muscle boards where tens of thousands of guys post all day long about their shrunken balls, lack of erections, emotional breakdowns, home-doctoring of absesses, raging blood pressure, anger issues, recommendations of steroids cycles for their fat girlfriends to lose weight and other assorted aspects of this sport. Certainly wouldn't want to skew your deep insight w/ a little perspective and a request to just lighten the fuck up and if you have nothing constructive to say, then please just don't.

whatever babe, you cannot deny that being physically masculine goes against the nature of the female species.. dont get me wrong, im loving the bodies of these 2012 fitness competitors and the olympic spinters, im sure they all do steroids.. but please stay away from the virulizing ones, real talk


you cannot deny these women don't look right.. at all.. and the fact that it cannot be reversed.. it's just stupid

 

[bjg]

i still think the whole judging system should be changed...if it stays like that what would women look like in 20 years from now? i remember in the 80's cory everson looked really muscular at that time but she cannot compare to today's freaks....
this mascarade must stop because it is giving bodybuilding a bad reputation. Sorry Sassy BUT IN MY BOOK THIS IS NOT BODY BUILDING ANYMORE
my wife who competes in triathlon saw this and she just said that these are guys with wigs on!

I doubt very much any female competitor is attempting to look like a man by training, eating, supplementing, or using any form of drug. They're interested -- again, I'm guessing -- in building their physiques to some kind of personal ideal.

Or to meet the requirements of the judges. And it is the judging that might change those athletes minds about what their goals should be, but I'm not entirely sure about that either. Some competitors probably give **** all about how the judges arrange or place people and lift and compete solely for their own satisfaction and sense of achievement.

Now you're an anthropologist?

Women come in all shapes and sizes and there are many who are bigger and leaner than you. Not a jab just real talk. Some people are rail thin while others are super muscular. Some are fat. Some are tall or short or whatever combination of body types.

If you don't like females who train for bodybuilding competitions then I suggest you create a thread in Anything Goes rather than continuing to make unnecessary remarks in this thread.

 

[Curt James]

And, wtf, Jelena Abbou appears in the video. They do a 360 showing her physique off but all you can comment on is what you consider men with wigs? Gtfo.

I cannot tell you how much I don't feel like having this conversation yet again. That is why I asked you to please keep the whole thing in perspective. MENS BB doesn't look like it did 20 yrs ago. I didn't know bitch tits , shrunken balls, roid gut and emotional breakdowns were part of being a guy. Women have evolved SOOO much in the last 20 yrs since - and frankly Cory Everson changed her look dramatically in the one decade she competed. And btw, there are now 5 categories of women's physique competition and you still have to go off on the one group of women who are the major minority. You want to keep an elite sport to something that keeps you comfortable in your small little view of the world. If you asked me to watch a bunch of triathlete women, I'd probably be thinking fucking eat a sandwich because they look so friggen skinny. But you know what? I'd be judging them on their dedication and ability to perform in that sport. Sports-specific training + body type is going to produce a different result. But Its all relative and its all perspective. This post is about the Elite of the Elite in this tiny slice of this tiny little sport of bodybuilding. If you don't like it, don't fucking look at it. Please contribute something useful, interesting or original.

Well Sassy, you've been here long enough to know you cant post some shit like this without dudes saying "ew". Thats life in a public forum.

Why are women performing routines? Is this a fucking pageant? I feel like those skinny bikini girls should be on the other side of the stage handing out shots, while the real athletes are up there flexing (not in heels.... never in heels, why heels?)

 

[Standard Donkey]

curt i was obviously referring to the ms. olympia contestants who look more like men than women


women taking male hormones is a natural and normal as men taking women hormones

She is beautiful

I appreciate all the hard work these women put in, and to tell you the truth, I like the way they look

And how many of the hormones guys take aromatize? That's women hormones.

 

[sassy69]

It would be so nice to have a conversation about the top competitive event in the country in this sport and the athletes involved and frankly often the athletes that inspired most of us to keep going back to the gym - I've been going back since 1981. How long have you? And yet every time, it turns into a pile of shit. EVERY FUCKING TIME. The selective judgment is just awesome. I'm so glad the entire conversation is driven by some guy's dick.

So sad. There are some amazing people in this sport. A lot of really pathetic people, but a lot of truly amazing and gifted people as well. But it degrades into this conversation every time. WTF are we supposed to do when someone thinks Iris Kyle is too manly looking, another guy thinks Jamie Eason is to manly or some bikini girl is too manly. WTF? If you don't like it don't fucking look at it. Its hard enough w/ the subjectivity of the judging in the sport. It would be so nice to just appreciate the people who are the elite of what most of us spend a large % of our free time doing and often spendign a shitload of money on as well. I don't want to have post after post after fucking post of the manly conversation. I just want to see how the competitors this year are doing. If you can't deal w/ that, then make your own goddamn thread and get the fuck out of mine.

maybe we should not continue arguing about this subject,but for the record i also disagree with the way male bodybuilding is heading too, steroids were used 50 years ago too , but today things are going a little overboard and with all due respect to all the present MR Olympia competitors they still cannot compare to
the ones of the 70's in looks and even in size if you look carefully , they have now the same size of muscles but they are internally inflated like balloons with inflated guts and no shape and grace.

Did you miss the part of my post where I said gtfo? lol

 

[Standard Donkey]

that's just the nature of aromatase, the male hormones that these monstrosities take do not turn into female hormones, your argument is flawed

 

[KILLEROFSAINTS]

I have always been more inspired by the women

most of the time

actually all of the time...they look better than the male group and have way better routines

I'm leaving this thread to look at possible infractions. There's got to be something. This is the Female Talk subforum not Anything Goes and though this subforum hasn't been around all that long you'd think, you'd guess, you'd expect that a member with more than four thousand posts on this board would know when to let a so-called argument go.

It's a thread. You're wrong to push with your negative comments. There is no argument here.

So, here's the menu. What will it be?
