I have to agree. The extreme man face has had more to do with killing female bodybuilding vs the muscles.

VERY true- women's bodybuilding used to be POPULAR when women looked like this:

Juliette Bergman was still hot when she came back for those Olympias around 2001-2002. That was also the last time I gave a shit, ironically...

Anja Langer and Cory Everson.

Should have stayed that way in doses.

I was in a conversation with an NPC management dude about testing all the females for male hormones. The cost aside he told me that they couldn't just test the females that they would have to test the males too. So I said, cost aside, couldn't you get around that be testing the women for male hormones and testing the men for female hormones? He laughed and said I don't know if that would fly. And I said, with the right lawyers, I bet it would...These women who are abusing male hormones need to be brought down...Also men who take female hormones need to be brought down

How long before the fitness girls just up the dose? IT's the same with bikini class, they are starting to up the dose there. Where does one draw the line?

The IFBB and NPC judges are the one's to blame for this. This has been coming for a decade.

Female BB will always been grotesque the moment the women start hitting the male hormones.

Right cause none of the figure/physique or bikini girls are taking any male hormones.....LOL

I agree. I have seen local figure women with that same man face. They look terrible. That's really what did the division in and I don't care what people say.

Women like
Lenda Murray
Cory Everson
Anja Langer
Marjo S
Carla Dunlap
Laura C

were absolutely beautiful and they should have kept to that standard. During last years ms o, I found myself cringing and grimacing. Iris' face is so messed up she tried to cover it up with that wig. A total mess.

Right now they need to keep Juliana Malacarne the standard in wpd and don't let those man faced women rise in the ranks. She is the epitome of what muscular beauty can be

So I have to admit - I'm actually a fan of the Masino/Salvagno type - there I said it! But I'm just going to leave this one here ...

2 decades.

And yes, they want to blame it on the women, but the women only do what they think it takes to win.

It's absolutely the judges.

Someone shows up looking like that, put them dead last. That's what it would take, but none of the judges do that.

Instead, they start another division that's really just women's bodybuilding, but they don't call it that.

Eventually, women's physique will also be massive and there will be many sunken faces and it will start all over again.

Stupid fucking judges are the problem.

Exactly right. Figure is heading towards physique and bikini is headed towards anorexic

If someone shows up with man face and looking a mess...last place. There was one wpd competitor that j thought was a bodybuilder she was so big.

Bingo! You can't win or place high if the judges don't pick you.

I was always at odds with many of judges when it came to the female bodybuilders.
I quit a few years ago when MPD and bikini became the majority of entrants in NPC shows.
