Was having some technical difficulties. Meant to post this video featuring Claire P Thomas in this thread.

Is this a question or are we postulating on why they have a short shelf life?

I think the reasons as to why they don’t last very long are quite well documented but I will restate the what has been said before.

1.) Bodybuilding is not an easily sustainable lifestyle. To maintain relevant in the sport you need to inject PEDS, Give up your social life, Spend a lot of money on food, and spend most of your time in the gym.

We may think that our bodybuilding babes are sexy, but we would never see them because they spend most of their time in the gym. Being a bodybuilder, especially a female one, makes it difficult to enjoy life when you have a strict training regimen.

There are exceptions to this rule, obviously, but they are exceptions.

2.) Where’s the money? Aside from the typical posing as a webcam girl, where do these female bodybuilders get their money from? FBB competitions are not lucrative compared to men’s. And competitions involving CrossFit have a chance of serious injury that could derail careers.

If they’re not willing to get naked and flex for the camera. Where do they get their income from?

I may enjoy drawing and creating animations. But if it doesn’t pay the bills, well eventually I have to stop doing it because it requires too much time for no sustainable income.

3.) Eventually I think for women, or rather, especially women. They eventually become disillusioned with the life of an FBB. I have seen many posts of women who have felt that FBB life was toxic, unfulfilling, or didn’t give them the self esteem boost they were looking for. Sometimes they have revelations about their own lives and wants and realize that being ultra ripped and muscular isn’t what they want for themselves.

I think this happens to women more often because they tend to be judged more harshly by their appearance than men. It’s unfair, but it is a fact. So there is more pressure for women to maintain femininity, and muscle is not considered feminine.

The ones who retain their muscles even if they are not competing are extraordinary. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they were lonely or not training as hard. Like I said before, to maintain shape requires a sacrifice of social outings and gatherings. And for women it’s even harder to maintain the muscle more than men. So it’s really no surprise they don’t last long in the sport.

Too bad it seems like she’s retired too. All of her current photos are just close ups of her face, no body shots. Shame, she had a wonderful body.

Whatever happened to Tina?

Pretty decent film. Julia’s acting felt surprisingly authentic.

For those who haven’t seen it yet, it does take place during a bodybuilding show. You get to see SOME female bodybuilders throughout the film and the camera holds a loving gaze over Julia’s body. But it is focused on her relationship with the boy and it wasn’t a bad film at all.

I believe she mentioned in an instagram post that she had reached an aesthetic she was happy with and did not want to get any bigger or leaner. She still work out but we’re not going to see her get shredded or bulkier.

Too bad Vladi seems to be done with bodybuilding. She’s not going to get as small as the before picture but she’s already losing the muscle.

That 80’s hair had her looking like Zuul. Excellent physique otherwise.

I misworded what I said.

I meant to say, I’m wondering if she’s a RECURRING side character or a one-off that we never see again.

Ellie is obviously the main protagonist.

Yeah it was mentioned that they body scanned Colleen Fotsch for the muscular woman. I’m more curious to know if the woman is a prominent character or a side character. I wouldn’t mind drooling over Colleen’s body in-game.
