[quote=”antidoublestandard” post=109103]You know what I am not going to sugarcoat anything here maybe I should hold this top list off for quite a while and learn a bit more than I know right now. I’m trying to manange my time here and with school. I didn’t just comebu here to burden anyone but to learn actually since I am a rookie. I can’t believe I admitted that just now. But anyhow I’m sorry if I came off as a dick just recently.

Actually, quite the contrary; you’ve come off as reasonable, willing to learn, curious. Someone else has been unfairly arrogant and, apparently, arbitrarily decided that harassing you was good sport. I certainly don’t know why- if there’s genuine bad blood between you or if he’s picking a fight just because he had a bad day at work (or several days, since he’s been letting it go for days) or what, but it really is unconscionable.

Bodybuilding is a sport about aesthetics; what you find attractive may or may not be what someone else finds attractive- this is one of the problems that has plagued the judging of the sport since it began. Claiming someone else is wrong or that their standards are unacceptable because they don’t align with yours is rude and uncalled for.

Saying that someone has a “fat fetish” because he enjoys the look of an off-season bodybuilder like Sharon Marvel or Gina Davis is not only rude, but flat-out wrong; there are people who have fat fetishes, and the women they prefer do NOT look like these women. Calling an off-season competitor fat is silly and a denial of the processes that some women go through in order to build their physiques. Additionally, there are ways to object to the uses of the words ‘ripped’ and ‘shredded’ that do not involve belittling someone who has (in your opinion) misused them. Antidoublestandard, you did not engage in below-the-belt mudslinging; it’s a shame that one of the other forum writers (one that I normally respect) did.

Now, to get back on topic- you never really stated clearly what guidelines you wanted to use to define heavyweight, and I think that may be causing some confusion; the actual definition of heavyweight has changed from year to year as competitors actually got larger and from nation to nation as standards of size and femininity (which have always influenced the sport) vary regionally.

I personally like a number of different physiques: Denise Rutkowski, Nikki Fuller, and Maria Segura all strike me as great examples of what the sport can aspire to.[/quote]

I’m not going to let that little mishap get to me. I don’t know what his deal his, however so far I only know about the poses, events, origins of the sport, and a couple of the more prominent competitors so far. So many new faces keep coming up and few that might have still competed and still do a few years before I even heard of them or not bothered to look up on yet. But there is still more for me to learn. Anyway my guidelines for this list I am mainly looking for heavyweight competitors who have proven themselves on the stage at main events as well as those who took their passion for the sport to newer heights like Lenda Murray, Tina Lockwood, Bev Francis, Renee toney, etc. I hope that was specific enough, lord knows there is a helluva of lot of them I could put here. By the way I am only picking 13 this way I don’t end up coming here posting another typically cliche’ and boring top 10 list which might be rather insulting to you.Thanks for the suggestions though.

yes and all

Hey will you calm down I asked one simple question and you’re now acting as though I’m expected to have just cause for this and I am trying my best to keep up to date with things as time goes by. As I said before to the Administrator, the reason why I am doing this is because no one on any forum has so far and simply put I can. That last response didn’t answer my question at all.

Is that supposed to be a crack at me or something? Or are you assuming I don’t have basic knowledge and specifically on what exactly?

[Anti]

Oh trust me Colette will be making somewhere in my list. She has a great upper body by the way.

Is this woman in the sky blue bikini a Heavyweight and if so what is her name?

[Anti]

Thanks for your input so far. I will admit some of the comments are rather irrelevant but still, I am getting a huge number of suggestions though. So I really have nothing to complain about.

I saw a video with Patricia Veldman on YouTube and the only thing registering through my mind was: GODDAAAAAAAAMN!! She certainly looks like a heavyweight for sure.

I am aware of the Dutch female bodybuilder who won Ms.Olympia in 2001. She was around 140lbs so she was considered a heavyweight by IFBB standards.To answer your question why only heavyweights because no one else that I know of has done something like this on any forum or blog and also because I can. I hope I didn’t sound smug on that last sentence.
