I felt like putting this on FBBpedia, even if it's not an encyclopedia article as such.

It's something I've wondered a lot about. Turns out in this case, the figure competitor has more muscle than the bodybuilder.

The two-inch height difference may make a difference in their perceived muscle-mass, too.  While Trager's measurements are larger all around, Melissa is two inches shorter, making her muscles seem larger on the total package.

Yeah I noticed Melissa was shorter, which probably means her arms are shorter, and therefore her muscles look bigger.

I think Dara let Melissa win the arm wrestling match.

I think so too. She probably didn't want to make Melissa look weak, as she is the bodybuilder and supposedly stronger. Here's the video if you wanted it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hkbRbXCdAk

I think most fitness competitors are less muscular than most FBBs.  Dara's more heavily muscled than most, that's why she's bigger.

Although Dara is figure, not fitness. Does that make a difference? I always thought of it in this order of muscle size: 1.fitness 2.figure 3.bodybuilder.

I dunno.  After watching the video, I would have to agree that Dara probably would have won if the contest was pure strength, but the thing is… Armwrestling has some tricks and some technique to it, as well.  Melissa's technique is pretty far from perfect- you saw how easily she got owned by Andrea- but it was better than Dara's.  She didn't allow Dara to turn her wrist and, in the end, I think Dara pretty much gave up because she didn't have a sense of how to maneuver her hand to take back the advantage.

Yeah, I'll agree with you there. Dara's got the biggest muscles and the most strength. But Melissa's probably experienced in armwrestling and has the technique right.

I think your right. about her not wanting to make Melissa look weak. I'm not saying this out of direspect to Melissa. She is a lovely and gorgeouse woman. If anything I'm impressed that Dara is actually strong enough as a figure girl to compete strength wise with a FBB.
