Tbh, just for me I never get into the whole figure judging thing. Unlike bodybuilding where size and being ripped are definitive indicators of quality, and fitness greater flexibility, power and strength etc are their indicators of higher quality....figure does not have that. So, I just go with the flow, as yes there are clear cut cases of some people being better, but generally to me it is really more a case of personal preference. Plus, I can only watch so many quarter turns before I start daydreaming anyway.

In Russian "HUSBAND and the WIFE - ONE SATANA!" (Solid Attitude - Shannon Meteraud)

Alex... I have no idea what Carlos Santana has to do with this or what you meant.
But I can tell you this, In American... they may be husband and wife... but they are 2 very different people who rarely have even the same opinion most of the time. It's rare anywhere to find a couple that is so different and yet so good together... especially in this industry!!

Trust me if Shannon is off on stage or does something wrong Tres does not keep it to himself, he is the first to let her know. So with these 2... husband and wife doesn't apply to each others stage presence and conditioning. Anyone who knows them will tell you this.

"Satana - Santana". Words are played.

I respect with opinion of other people. However... If the opinion proceeds from the party which in business (the husband and the wife) - it, as a rule is subjective!!
Who will answer questions:
Why in NPC and in PRO there is no dope-control, and over amateurs - is? Why Mary Lado hesitates of the place in the World championship in 2004?

Something I have always found interesting...the disparity of testing between nations while all under the same IFBB/NPC banner.

I am liable to be called at 24 hrs notice to be drug tested at any point of the year and failing or refusing renders me suspended for 2 years. In my region, we must provide certification of being drug free to even *enter* the pro qualifier. These aren't some pseudo drug tests, they test for the full range including rec drugs, ephedra and even high levels of caffeine.

Interesting as this is dictated to the 38 nations of my region, but not on others. I feel these disparities of testing contribute to the strength of certain nations, as it put others at distinct disadvantages.

Just like in the video about coming back to the IFBB. You should worry about keeping your 2 remaining contracts in the industry instead of worrying about your ex's management.

Just curious why the truth always gets deleted from this board???
Everyone deserves to know what really goes on in bb shows. I compete in the NPC and it is also who you know and who your trainer/nutritionist is as to how you place in a show. Amazing how these girls also get features in the magazines....hmmmmm.

Girls have told me that their "coach" really sucks but they keep them around because of who they know and the extra work they get.

I will point out that generally features in mags like Oxygen, IronMan, MMI, and Curves usually have nothing to do with whom you train with. I have been in them all and it has to do with how well you sell the magazine... having a good reputation and relationship with the staff there helps too.

As for the rest.. see my comment

Yeah, maybe generally. I'm not going to mention names but having one of the top 2 figure nutritionist/trainers HAS gotten a few of my friends in the mags. One girl told me herself that's how she got in and why she used this person. I'm sure there are exceptions and some really do look good and deserve it, but there are always a few who don't.

Dina · « **Reply #136 on:** May 13, 2007, 01:01:18 PM »

your statement applies to pretty much everything in life... who you know and what you can do for them... or what they can do for you... that is what makes the world go round. We all wish everything was based on merit, but that is not the case... and in our little industry where everything is very subjective... it makes more sense

You sound a little jealous, maybe your should get a different pro bodybuilder boyfriend and you too can get in the magazines.

Getting in the magazines requires more than just having Kim Oddo or Mike Davies as a trainer.

It's good to see we've gotten to the point of naming names in this thread.

I don't know who you're talking about, but strip clubs (go-go bars) in NJ are filled with Russian strippers. Alex would feel right at home.

American uncle! I am Russian. I live and I shall live in Russia. I have served in the Military marine fleet of Russia of 15 years. I remember " cold war ". A striptease? I laugh. To look in the face and tell to me such, instead of to write in INTERNET. I simply would tear off to you a head.

Hey comrade Alexi, chill out mang! I was just making a statement about all the lovely Russian ladies who inhabit New Jersey's finest strip club establishments. Why the hostility?

I'm impressed, yet not intimidated by your pic. Besides having the ability to defend myself, my glock has the uncanny ability to pierce through muscle.

huge difference between stripper and go go dancer. check your facts.
now how is it related to discussing figure competition?
there are girls that do all kind of stuff to make a living, but how and what they do is really non of our business.

you absolutely right, as the state of bodybuilding and figure is ridiculous. it's a mess. but what do you honestly think can be done, as the ones that get screwed are ignored when they complain and the ones getting gifts wont do a thing for reasons that are perfectly clear.
