I really can't believe this, it takes a little more than just going to the gym a few times a week to look like Starla. I've been lifting weights for years and don't look like starla.

    Um, that's a satire site. Other articles on the site include such gems as "National Security Agency to Issue Press Releases in Haiku".

    Ahah! It's actually pretty insulting for bodybuilders. It implies that everyone can look like that without tons of work and dedication.

    Omg, so that girl lifted free weights ONCE and because she was sore the days after, she thought she was building muscles.

    It is satire, not real.
    It is making fun of a common misconception by taking it to extremes. The article actually says it is nearly impossible for women to bulk up like that.

    Yeah, I think SonyaCele got the point of the article and was posting sarcastically. We see women on here all the time worrying that if they lift more than 5-pounders, they'll suddenly she-hulk out.

    I stand corrected...too many layers of satire for my po' little brain to handle.

    Ummmm.
    I don't think so.
    The site has the story "Cthulhu Joins Amway." That makes sense because they definitely would not take Cthulhu in Mary Kay. Too ugly. Who would buy?

    Damn, I haven’t been drinking juice. That’s why I’m not swole like Arnold.

    i think the site is satire, at least all of it except the Cthulhu Joins Amway, i agree with you , thats probably true.
