I'm just the IFBB Women's Historian, so I go with what Johnny said. And if my arm was twisted, I'd lean towards Latorya. THAT is a magnificent "container" she's walking around in!

I stand corrected on the magazine she appeared on, it was Body& Power - a magazine I edited in the very early 80's. Sorry, I'm still having a problem processing Lynn's death.

Lynn was a longtime friend. I had the pleasure of coaching her for the 1982 Women's Superstars competition that was televised and very popular in the early 80's. We featured Lynn on the cover of...

Too bad only about half of this article was printed. The entire introduction was left out and placings 4th and 5th were also left out. NOT my fault!

Nicole, just a quick note. As the NPC Nationals middleweight winner you join a pretty impressive group of past winners over the past 30+ years including Vickie Gates (the '93 winner) who went on to...

Yes, I'm up at 5am here in San Diego....

We just witnessed the smallest-ever NPC National women's bodybuilding field - 18 total women. And it was judged in just 28 minutes!

No photos from A class?

Time for the WPD....a judging change and a piss break! :-))

Hi Debbie. I'm here, but waiting for the women's physique divisions.....:-))

The Europa Phoenix Pro was the 68th pro Women's Physique Division contest dating back to the inaugural Desert Muscle Classic held in Mesa, Arizona on February 25th, 2012. With Karina Nascimento...

Having known John for over 30 years, I am trying to imagine in my mind's eye his response to this rambling preamble....... head drops forward,eyes cross, then roll back in his head. Am I close John?...

As another example of just how well thought out the inaugural Rising Phoenix event was, Jake and Kristal Wood attached a perfect name to the perpetual trophy for the overall winner - The Pudgy...

A pair of significant dates slipped by us in the past two weeks, and they merit mention when it comes to how quickly women's bodybuilding was growing in 1980.

First, the inaugural Ms. Olympia was...

Glancing back to the days of the first Ms. Olympia, it really is interesting how much has changed. With the Rising Phoenix offering $100,000 and a new Jeep as total prizes, the last time $100,000...

Last week at the Texas Pro in San Antonio Mikaila finished second in the Open division and first in the Masters....good run at the end of the season before the Olympia......annnnd now she has...

Ooops. Cavalier $1,500

1- Mikaila Soto $2,000 (Hanover Park, Illinois)
2- Billie Cavalier $1,000 (Denver, Colorado)
3- Roxanne Edwards $500 (Brooklyn, New York)
4- Dany Garcia (Beverly Hills,...

Women's Physique posing routines have begun......

On the women's Physique side, for me, the biggest surprise was that Reshanna Boswell didn't make a call out until the fifth and sixth rounds. It was only three weeks ago at the Tampa Pro that she...

LOL! Less snakes, more PBP !!

Yes! Always good stuff.

Post #43 two of Zoa Linsey and the rear bi or Klaudia Larson.

Spaniard Paloma Parra is a veteran competitor. Remember photographing her at the IFBB European Championships in Spain in 2000!

Mikaila was crazy last week in Texas. She finished 2nd in the open AND won the Masters!

They have started with Women's Physique.

Michelle, Prejudging is due to start at 11:30 PST time (pretty much now), and finals are tomorrow also at 11:30 PST

In the music industry don't they call that a 'One Hit Wonder'?

Thanks Jeremy...always appreciate the comments. Now it's on the to the Rising Phoenix show next weekend. It's going to seem strange without a Ms. Olympia this year.

LOL, Understatement of the year Big Mike!

Totally agree...she was dazzling and her improvement has been magic - remembering back to when she was just a kid! Hope she sticks around.....

Thanks mucho Ibarra!

By FAR the best shape of her life. Very happy for her after so many years of competing!

Chicago's LaDrissa Bonivel found her way to San Jose Saturday night to become the 21st automatic qualifier for the Physique Olympia in September. A seventh-place finisher at the Olympia last year,...

Yep, Big Mike. It will be widely varied on several levels. This year there will be at least three competitors at 5-9 and a healthy handful at barely over 5-0 with a smattering of other heights in...

[yesQUOTE=curvygirl;2089365]180120

A minor correction to Steve's report. This is Paula Frega who placed 3rd at the Mile High Pro . Not to be confused with Silvia Alves Fraga who placed 2nd at the...

LOL, Too bad, I was just getting ready to unload on the guy for his negativity and 'dying sport' crap.

You mention that Juliana and Michelle came down from bodybuilding...... While Michelle Cummings did transition from Bodybuilding to Physique, you should know that Juliana never competed in...

Not to drift from the topic but............2015 PHYSIQUE OLYMPIA CHAMPION JULIANA MALACARNE. Nuff said.

You're kidding right? Scroll down the list of posts in here and you'll find lots of posts that have nothing to do Muscle Central, or bodybuilding for that matter. A deep breath will help you pal.

There are claims that the average human takes 23,000 breaths per day. I'm thinking it might take that many in a vigorous sexual coupling! On the other hand if your significant other 'takes your...

Well, that may not work so well for her in the future as the competition will no doubt get tougher and tougher. The season is just getting started, and there will be dozens of new faces and...

Top five had a pretty good battle in the WPD. Swansen was unanimous, but only one point separated Sheronica Henton(12) and Danielle Reardon(13). Then Leila Thompson in 4th and Loana Muttoni in 5th...
