Melissa has nice delts and upper back detail............. and looks smug in the top pic

But she looks smaller than what I am used to seeing.

melissa looks overdieted and has lost too much muscle, especially in those awesome thighs of hers

Melissa placed 1st, and Jennifer Cowan placed 5th in the middleweight class.

Overall winner was heavyweight Tracy Beckham.

Melissa was the smallest she's ever been on stage, I think...she made MWs at 125. She was tiny LOL...and she really did look fantastic, the best she's ever looked. Congrats to her!!

BEAST looked great, she was lean and beautiful. I thought she would place higher than fifth, but placing Top 5 at that show is a great accomplishment. I had a total blast hanging out with Jenny this weekend. Congrats!!!

Congrats also to Jodi Miller for winning a very competitive LW class!! Jodi looked great...It's always nice to see the figure crossovers acheive success in BB.

Congrats to Tracy Beckham for the HW and Overall Win! Tracy is a really beautiful fbb with a TINY waist. It was very close for the overall between Tracy and Melissa.

It was a great show, although really really LONG and unbelieveably HOT at the venue. With the exception of a break btw prejudging and finals, we were there from 8:30 AM till midnight.

Congrats to all the ladies for a job well done!

Only thing worse than a "woman" who takes male hormones is a "woman" who uses them and cheats other girls who actually worked hard for their results

I don't really know what to say about this, other than I do know that the competitors (Top 2 in each class I believe) were tested at the show. If she passes the test, then that's that. It's kind of a mis-conception that Team U is a "natural" show...it is a tested show, so the competitors need to pass the test. I believe competitors are supposed to be "clean" for a year prior to the competition.
I don't know what happens with the tests or the results...I guess that's up to the NPC to determine.

It's hard to get good stage shots from the audience if you don't have a $5000 camera, but I did manage to get this nice one of The BEAST....she looked great!

She looks really good there. Best pic I've seen of her.

I guess it's all camera, huh.

couple more pics of Jodi...

Great job!!!!!!

This is why they need to hand out pro cards to the winner of each class in female bodybuilding.

It seems in most cases the overall and winner of the procard is the heavy weight.

How can Pro female bodybuilding move forward (or is it actually backwards?) if only the big mass girls get pro cards?

~flower~ · « **Reply #19 on:** July 16, 2007, 10:26:07 AM »

I like Jodi's pics where she has a smile on her face better than her "photo shoot" face.

Smile in more of your professional shots Jodi!! I think you look way sexier!!

Just my nonprofessional opinion.

I'd love to see more pro cards for fbb too...they hand out so many for figure, after all.
The only show where the FBB class winners get pro cards is NPC Nationals in November.

A LW won the overall at the Jr. USAs earlier this year, which was great to see. And based on who I know will be at Nationals this year, we could see a LW take the overall.

~flower~ · « **Reply #21 on:** July 16, 2007, 11:09:01 AM »

Well that's good to hear that they do give out more at other shows.

I haven't followed women's bb'ng as much over the past years, but am starting to more now because I see it possibly going in a better direction.

I dunno.

Perhaps if the "figure", "fitness" and male bodybuilding divisions would cut down on their pro card give aways instead, raise the status of the pro card?

How about awarding all the class winners, especially since women have fewer classes, but only give out cards at the nationals?

I would like to see the Mr USA card removed altogether, but more cards being handed out internationally.

you mean just give out pro cards to the class winners at nationals and no other shows?

Yes.

Instead, Russia and a few other big bodybuilding countries (Germany?) could get 3 or 4 pro cards for their nationals instead of only one.

It would make bodybuilding more global, but also raise the status of winning a pro card. Back in Arnold's days, winning a pro card meant you were world class pretty much.
