After seeing what happened to some of Lisa's friends when they posted pics, she has decided not to post any. It seems like when people post pics, it turns into a bit of a pissing match. Not to mention, people want to "promote" one athlete over another and try and choose a winner before the show even starts. That is just a sad fact of the internet these days and I feel it is unfair to all athletes.

It is tough for women to compete in the sport of bodybuilding, they work just as hard if not harder than men do and get little respect for their hard work. So when women post progress pics, it seems like an open invatation for the "negative" people to come out of hiding.

I now a lot of women post progress pics to either keep themselves on track or to motivate others which is commendable and in some cases, needed. I have seen pics of some people and their progress and have been supportive and impressed with most of them, but, like I stated before, when women are posting progress pics as they are prepping for a show, people try to pick the winner and looser before the show starts and it is not only unfair to the athletes competing, it does an injustice to all women who want to be judged fairly at these shows.

I have a lot of respect for female bodybuilders and would like to see them judged fairly on the stage and not in a forum. All of you women should be proud of what you have accomplished and should want to be judged on show day and not weeks before.

Enough with my ramblings. Best of luck to all that will be competing this year.....And yes honey(2hot4u,) that includes you..LOL

Great post.

[THUNDERGOD]

so what did you get her?????

Got her one of these...

Before everyone freaks out the reason for this is we had a carjacking at gun point on the parking lot where i work!!!! It was at 4:45 am and i don't go into work until 6 a.m. The lady was ok but shook up. This totally uncommon in the area where my gym is. We are going to a conceal and carry class this coming saturday. I am really a little nervous since i have not had alot of experience with handling guns at all. I did however go to the range sometime ago with my husband and friend and I guess it was beginners luck but i hit the target smack in the forehead more than once!!!

It seems like with the economy the way it is that people are doing more and more crazy things and i don't feel it is going to get any better soon. We all have to protect ourselves and i hope to god I never have to use this bday present!!

OK, that is total BS!!! Beginers luck you say??? You pop the target in the forehead and then told you "No way!! Do it again." And you did!!! I think you were a highly trained pro in a previous life. We should have framed that target.
