Good point.

The adrenaline rush one gets when preparing to compete means sweet fuck all to most athletes, you're right.

^^Don't you just love how all these knuckleheads come out of the woodworks whenever an impressive lift is posted?

So, you're not impressed by her strength. Good for you.

Most readers here...

Oh, just stop with the charade. You generated the hysteria, got a few laughs, and now it's time to move on to the business of getting more hot bodies onstage.

You know full well that, even...

Don't lose sight of the fact that many of the schmoes - regardless of whether they're meatheads - who control their girlfriend's cycles aren't going to reduce the dosage of anything that will cut...

Tall girls are definitely welcome, but you know your bodybuilding boy toys won't be too pleased if you elect to drop down right away. ;)

IMO, Nancy Georges is a perfect example of tall and jacked...

That's actually a darn good idea.

I mean, if parks and skyscrapers can be built from artists' renditions, then surely the IFBB can get this right. :)

Fixed.

Case closed.

The biggest single problem in this country is the lack of common sense.

Chick:

First, props to you for calling out the judging standard.

That said, if 50+ women bodybuilders turn up to compete at the USAs in 2011, do YOU believe that Jon Lindsay will keep that...

While it's true that people do not travel to watch IFBB pro women's bodybuilding, neither do they travel to watch pro women's bikini or pro women's figure and they're not suddenly going to...

I fully understand code enforcement, but breast cancer awareness is virtually untouchable. And given the small display of their support, the referees are going to win this fight.

What is the...

With all due respect, this is a total non-starter in the U.S. and Canada, and most North American women are not planning to compete in Europe.

LOL @ trying to limit progress

Double LOL @ thanking Bob for not being willing to call out the JUDGING panels :rolleyes:

This whole notion of 'turning back the clock' would've been so easy to...

Understood, Zoa, but while I'm not shy about my support for the new division, let's not also forget that it's a numbers game for the promoters, too.

It costs nothing except a few trophies for...

There's nothing 'wrong' with the new division.

What you all need to understand is that the business of staging competitive physique events is just that - a BUSINESS. On this issue, Bob's not...

What does Betty Pariso have to say about all this?

I've been following much of the conversation, but do not recall yet having seen any statements from her.

x2

That's why I'm onboard.

When promoters make money, they're more likely to continue putting on shows for the athletes to enter.

More lower-tiered (bikini, figure, physique) competitors means more income opportunities for...

But if a guy actually *does* give up his million-dollar-a-year job for a principle...then that idiot deserves respect.

Whether YOU will watch it or not is of absolutely no consequence to a promoter. He's got x-number of guys who are going to pay to enter the show, and each of those guys is going to bring y-number of...

I actually do like that look for you, so you'll be one of the FBBs I'll support if you do decide to cross over. (no schmoe)

Dark tattoos look stupid on black people, regardless of whether they're bodybuilders.

*no racist*

One of my sources says 'Betty Pariso' will be in the mix.

No.

You compete next year because you want to turn pro (or just to compete). And then if you turn pro, you'll be eligible to compete as a pro in 2012 at the available events.

Baseball may be for fags, but Yankee fan misery is something we can all take great delight in.

She's the white Oprah. Well, sorta.

Exceptionally well-shot and well-edited and although the script was whack, Will did read and play his role very well.

Outside of the writing, it's hard to find fault with any other parts of it.

Fair point indeed.

While PJ did express an opinion that more comparisons might be warranted at national competitions, this was not intended to be perceived as a reason as to why he wasn't in the...

Where is that information coming from?

Just because a few people might *hope* women's bodybuilding will just go away doesn't mean it will.

;) No prob, bro.

While your concern is certainly a valid one, I can answer without hesitation: absolutely not.

When PJ says he feels he should've placed higher, he isn't saying that to criticize the judges. He's...

Hold on...

Although it's certainly your prerogative, why would you leave the bodybuilding division? I mean, I could see you doing it later in your competitive career, but why do it right away?

You know I agree 100%.

And as for figure and bikini not having put in nearly as much work as female bodybuilders of equivalent IFBB Pro or top NPC/CBBF amateur status, you don't have to say...

You get more hot women on stage. What's the problem??

Thanks for the clarification, Tammy.

PJ makes no excuses and offers no explanations, saying simply - 'I didn't get the job done this time' in his post-contest interview, but he promises you this (and I quote) -...
