old days of female bb
Swole0565:
A lot of good points and issues have been raised. The issue of drug overuse seems to be a concensus. My thoughts as to why we've gotten to the extent we have, is because of the neglect of the powers that be, to define exactly what the physique of a female bodybuilder should entail.
Instead, we have seen the evolution of Fitness & Figure, which provides an alternative, but not an answer to the initial issue. Thus, while we praise those for their beauty and athleticism, those who choose to bodybuild are shunned or looked down on, but only because standards given.
As for the prize money, it is obvious the freaky male bodybuilders are responsible for the majority of the ticket sales, and are compensated accordingly, HOWEVER keep in mind the women's alloted purse is deluted by the fact that is has to cover 3 different categories of female athletes (Bodybuilding, Figure & Fitness).
I'd like to know the beliefs anyone has concerning the above. And for the record, I am a fan of ALL physique development and appreciate all women, no matter what level they choose attain or what division they choose to compete in.
Thanks....

The sport was on the decline throughout the 90's, and officially "died" in '98. ;)
OneBigMan:
I don't believe it was on the decline throughout the 90's. Female bodybuilding lost some interest during those infamous modern years because of the emergence of pro fitness contests that many lovely ladies were in. Female bodybuilders and lady bodyshapers were unnecessarily compared to each other because of debate about the level of muscularity. Kim Chizevsky, Lenda, Laura Creavalle, and Andrulla didn't present a negative image of female bodybuilding like Vicky Gates, Lesa Lewis, and Nicole Bass. I don't have to talk about how awesome and appealing someone like Jitka Harazimova and Gayle Moher looked.

Nicole bass is a really nice woman but Stern made a sterotype with by making her look so silly. That idiot helped screw it up for so many others.
