Who are you asking about?

phenoms

Maria Ford. I've never heard nor seen her before.

I kinda found it a bit funny that she "hated" her muscles… Doesn't she realize that there are countless women out there that would love to have that kind of physique?

No, because she's an idiot.  Trust me, I'm British – I've seen and heard enough of her to know that.

Maria Ford. I've never heard nor seen her before.

Like I said, Maria Ford is a B-Movie actress. I am only aware of her because of that Muscle & Fitness magazine cover she was on… naturally I bought that issue because she's hot.

You can view her Filmography to see what movies she has been in at imdb here: http://imdb.com/name/nm0285768/

To my knowledge, I have never personally seen her in anything.

I ran a search on you tube and found the following clips…

Ye gods, that was appalling! 😮 ::) ;D

We are being far less "loose" with the word than you suggest. Just look at some of the women in Figure divisions, or at amateur female bodybuilders. Many are very small, soft, and lack any noticible muscle… many are far smaller, softer, and less muscular than a great number of the names mentioned in this thread.

I think I have to agree a little more with Grandmaster on this one.  Pretty soon we won't be able to list anyone else on this thread because they will all have been named and the only ones that won't have been named will be because they are obese.  Several pics show what would appear to be muscle but could very well simply be an arm or leg pressed up against something.  Other pics are undoubtedly muscle but many of them are just illusions and wishful thinking by an optimistic eye.  I have never once thought of Pamela Anderson as muscular.  Is she shapely, yes, did she make men drool, yes, but I have never once seen a bicep of any discernable size on her arm.

As for the figure competitors you brought up, my only question is this, "Did they win?"  I seriously doubt they won, because any picture I have ever seen of a winning figure competitor shows very defined (not neccessarily large) muscle.  I have yet to see that definition on almost any "celebrity" that wasn't an athlete "Layla Ali".

To say that Christina Applegate or Jean Louisa Kelly (Yes, Dear) are muscular is IMHO reaching pretty far out there and therefore a loose interpretation of the term.

Linda Hamilton was not large but very defined so muscular works, Hillary Swank was very defined and again not large so muscular also works.

I agree.  Muscular is not the same as lean.

[phenoms]

mus·cu·lar [muhs-kyuh-ler]
1. Of, relating to, or consisting of muscle: muscular contraction.
2. Having well-developed muscles: a muscular build.

I agree.  Muscular is not the same as lean.

The word lean refers only to an absence of body fat. Again, as I pointed out in my example of Keira Knightly's abs, an absence of body fat does not by itself lead to muscle definition. There must be muscle tone, and that requires muscle conditioning. A good example of an actress that is lean, but not muscular is Michelle Trachtenberg in Eurotrip.

Lean, not muscular.

"Defined".

A result attained through a low percentage of body fat and through muscle tone which can only be achieved though conditioning of the muscles. That is what I stated at the beginning of this post as to the criteria that qualified all those named so far. It seems your final point only served to reinforce my first point.

Gentlemen, I have a novel idea, how about instead of hasty criticisms, perhaps instead, show some gratitude for a substantial list of names which is precisely the objective of this thread. And if this thread so offends your sensibilities, perhaps you simply should avoid reading it.

Another name I don't recall seeing mentioned… Courtney Cox

hmmm… Christina Cox too (not related) as long as I am talking about "Cox".  ::)

Sorry phenoms; in trying to keep my response to ScottG's posting concise, I was unclear.  My agreement was with his central point that, as you showed with the Trachtenberg photo, lean isn't always muscular.  I'm not saying that any of the wome in this thread shouldn't be here (I'll look back through it and post again after I've done so), though I find Tompkinson's arms off-putting (biceps should be full and rounded, not like bits of rope under the skin).  I'm also a bit surprised at your insistence that she is obviously lying about not liking her physique – are you a psychiatrist?

[cpbell0033944]

Right, I've been through the topic again.

– Sarah Parker obviously uses weights, but is too scrawny for my taste, though she does belong here.She's also horsefaced, but never mind.

– Knightley is lean with a tiny amount of muscle.

– Pam Anderson has decent biceps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO4VuzWAX0Q.

– I've sat through the entire Titanic video, and I can say that Dion was lean but not muscled (see phenom's point about Trachtenberg).

– Amy Motta's photoshoot shows that different poses can emphasise muscle or hide it; in some shots she looks buff, in some, muscle-less.  She is definitely buff, though.

– Maria Ford may have starred in crummy films, but she's really buff http://www.angelfire.com/film/mariaford/magazines.html.

– Madonna and Tompkinson have the same problem as Parker; they're ectomorphs who have gone to the gym and pumped iron but who don't eat enough to have a proper buff physique, hence their rope-like biceps and scrawny, unsexy appearance.
