Her legs look a little smaller, but she looks great.

Congrats to Heather, she looks great!

She looks a lot tighter than the last show....could be the lighting though!

Go HMF and Species!

Good for her! She is what Figure should look like. Ripped off at the ASC so the 'girl next door' could win another one. Elite level physique competition should NOT look like something that just anyone can achieve.

Too bad Nicole Wilkins Lee will not train or diet as hard and will come in looking like a college cheerleader and win the O again...

**Warped** · 06-02-2010, 08:41 AM

She deserve it.

**HammerStrength12** · 06-02-2010, 08:56 AM

She plays football? Is this like a legit womens team or a powder-puff team?

Uhh, nice try BUT she's actually a three years out of college and has been a competitive gymnast since she could walk, undergone MULTIPLE surgeries for injuries, and completed at the Arnold gymnastics show in 2006. I'm willing to bet you'd never even bothered to look at her training program before you said that. She squats, deadlifts and power cleans on a regular basis. She can clean over 200, how many female BODYBUILDERS do you know that can do that?? Yes, they're not really necessary for bodybuilding, but either way its a pretty impressive and you don't get their by not "training and dieting hard"

I think they both look great, but I don't think there's a stark difference between HMF and NWL. Their physiques look VERY similar relative to what's out there. There are plenty of figure girls out there that finish near the bottom of every comp that are WAY more muscular than the two of them

Why are you giving me her resume?

I never said she was in college. I don't care if she's been a gymnast since she was an embryo. What does that have to do with the fact that she wins the sport's top prizes without having to get into the same shape as past standard bearers?

I don't care how many injuries she's had or how much she can clean. I care that Figure has devolved to the point that someone that is that smooth can win the O and Arnold.

She shows up softer, so she's obviously not putting in the time and diet that the other girls are.

The "stark difference" is that NWL is SMOOTH. The only difference between her and some of the bikini chicks that I've seen is the absence of big fake boobs.

My statements were less an indictment of her and more that of the IFBB. If they're determined to force bikini on us for the girls that don't want to get into real stage shape, then at least reward the Figure girls for coming in hard and tight.

NWL is, and has been, CLEARLY softer than the rest of the Top 5 in her signature wins. She's a pretty face on a physique that doesn't deserve to carry the Arnold or O titles.
