Two new posts this week:

My thoughts on a dream match between former fitness star and WWE Diva turned yoga instructor Trish Stratus and mixed martial arts and American Gladiator star Gina Carano

There's also a new poll of the month as well on the blog now.

Also in light of today's events, my thoughts on the beautiful Amanda Savell (God bless her and her famliy)

That's a lovely tribute, cray.  I must say it came as a shock to me as I hadn't heard the news. :'(

I've started a new segment on the blog called "A Fitting Review". It is my take on message boards, competitor/models sites, DVDs, etc. that I might like…or dislike. Here's my first review:

Also a new poll is up: Should there be a physique/classic female bodybuilding division in the IFBB and NPC?

I'll give my take on it very soon.

A new "Sharing a TenSpot" is now up, as I interviewed 2008 Figure International Runner-Up and one of the frontrunners of this year's Figure Olympia, Jennifer Gates!

Thank you!  ;D

I've done my state on fitness and figure earlier in the blog. At long last, here is my state on the female bodybuilding division.  😉

Interesting viewpoint.  If I may, I'll write a response here tomorrow.

My latest blog is on my thoughts on my verison of a physique division in the IFBB and NPC. This is my deepest blog post yet.

A new poll is also up regarding the current Olympia champions. My next two blogs will feature pics of 25 pros and 25 amateurs that I would choose to compete in the Arnold Classic Physique, where I would hold the first physique shows at.

Interesting ideas.  I tend to feel that your proposal is a little complex and involved, but I like the posedown idea (I'm presuming that most musculars will be allowed in this final section?) I do appreciate and agree with the idea of looking at a balanced, flowing physique, but I reckon that FBBing should reward this, but, if your proposals led to FBBing being a category purely for the ultimate, extreme physiques so that people like me could ignore it,k then I don't mind.

If I was to choose 25 pro competitors to participate in a hypothetical Arnold Classic Physique contest, here's who I would choose. You might be surprised at who I chose. All you have to do is look at them and you could possible guess why I chose them over others. This also marks my first photo blog. WHEW!

BTW, FitGems is about to become more than just a blog. I'll fill you all in on this personal milestone soon.
