Well, as old hands around here will know, I have quite strong opinions on this! 😛 😆

As I’ve said before, I think FBBing will soon arrive at a crossroads. One way is to continue down the path of chasing both ever-greater size and ever drier conditioning. Whilst training and diet are obviously a part of this, it’s mainly supplementation of one sort or another, and a lot of that is AAS and growth hormones. As I understand it, the side-effects are distributed between the two. Ever noticed that some attractive-looking FBBers seem to have deeper voices than some whose faces look quite manly? That’s because most of the facial effects are caused by GH, whereas voice, heirsuitness etc. are predominantly steroid effects. Add to that the fact that everyone’s genetic and endocrine (hormonal) makeup is different, so different women will respond differently to the same drugs, and you can see how complicated the situation is. To continue down that road is to reduce the commercial aspect of the sport more, which makes a mokery of calling the sport “Pro” when only a hermit could survive financially on the prize money. If you need to do promotions, sessions etc. to make ends meet, then you’re not a Pro.
The other route is to send the sport back to being more aesthetic. As the RX Muscle thread AlexG linked to points-out, this has problems of its own if the sport is promoted by the same people that promote men’s BBing. My solution therefore is to propose that the women themselves break away. They are so unhappy about the current state of affairs, yet are behoven to the Weiders for their lifeline.
The answer is to let the IFBB run and promote the male side, plus, perhaps, an “FBB Extreme” series for the hardened steroid-heads and their small retinue of fans. A puristic, non-commercial series for those that do what they do on an amateur basis and want no restriction of how big and ripped they should get, or how many times a day they inject themselves. Meanwhile, the rest set up their own series and governing body to run a series of events, perhaps even a Championship alog NASCAR lines where points for finishing each event in whichever position go towards an overall championship? More events mean that conditioning necessarily cannot be as dry, and regulations that favour less heavily-roided competitors can be written by changing judging criteria. This could be marketed as being a return to the standards of the late 1980s, and, with many of the youg women that we have drooled over in recent years competing, it would surely be much more marketable (and therefore commercially-successful) than the current “who’s going to come second behind Iris this year?” snoozefest that is the Ms. O.

Technique defect but also don’t forget that women tend to have more slender bone and joint structure. It’s generally easier to twist a woman’s hand and wrist than a man of equal size.

Good point sir! I noticed that she was having her wrist twisted, but didn’t appreciate the significance.
