Lets explore "bulky" women...

Rae6503

Woman A: This is a female body builder. She took steroids and diuretics to achieve this look.



Woman B: This is Jamie Eason. I'm going to assume she is not on 'roids. Her body fat percentage is probably around 18%. she probably has fake boobs. I am annoyed that such tiny bar bells were used as props...

ETA: 15%?



Woman C: This is a Victoria Secret model. She is "soft" and has skinny arms. She is probably naturally skinny, doesn't eat a lot and doesn't work out. She is also probably 18 and has never had children. Her body fat percentage is also probably 18%.

ETA: Nevermind, she's 28 and does have a kid. This proves she is even more of a genetic freak than originally thought. Also, might be 15% body fat....



Woman This is Stacy, a powerlifter mentioned in a blog linked here on the board. She eats 3000-4000 calories a day and can deadlift over 300lbs:




I forgot my point already... Oh wait, MUSCLES ARE BEAUTIFUL.

Absolutely love it!

Good photo comparisons! Stacy is my idol. Also - I bet Jamie Eason's Body Fat % is lower than 18. Mine's 18 and I have a lot more fat than she does!

EDIT - just looked up Jamie Eason's % and it's 12!!

I think muscles are very sexy on women. I have a photo with a female lifter on it, and it says "Lift like a man, Look like a Goddess".
A very dear friend of mine is a competitve female body builder and was just accepted to compete in next years Arnold competition. Yay Muscles! :-)

People are welcome to have that opinion. However, I do not believe that look is achievable by the average woman, at least not in a healthy manner.

Great topic. I don't mean to be a downer, but the model pictured is Miranda Kerr, she's 28 and had a baby boy this year. Though that photo was taken pre-baby, she has a similar figure now, only a little more 'womanly'.

I wouldn't say no to any of them.

Woman A because, well, you'd just do whatever she told you. Not gonna argue with her!

Woman B, C and D because they are all very sexy.

Shrinking_Xtina

You look great!

Yanicka1

thank you

LisaKyle11

not to be picky but the VS model is in her early to mid twenties and has had 1 child. i also bet both Jamie's and the VS model's body fat is below 18%.

Opps. I just picked the "softest" looking chick when I google imaged searched Victoria's Secret models. If that's the case then she's even more genetically gifted then I originally thought.

Where is the link to her blog?

Tricep extensions, grab a bell and hold it over head with both hands. Lower it behind your head by bending arms at the elbows. Keep your elbows close to your head, and lift it back up slowly. If you can do 10 and nothing burns, pick up a heavier one. When you feel failure at or near 8-9, you found your weight.

Hammer curls/bicep curls, grab a bell and hold it like you're holding a hammer at your side. Without swaying your body (key!) bend your elbow and bring it up so the bell meets your shoulder. You may turn your wrist so the bell gets parallel with your shoulders instead of perpendicular, but turn it back on the way down. If you are using a weight you have to swing up with your hips, or body, its too heavy. The idea is control and slow.

Between the two of those, your arms should get a good workout.

If you want the chest , shoulders and back, pushups, pull ups, good mornings and bent over rows.

Woman F: Let's add one more. This is millerll, she's a MFP member, 49 years old and can dead lift 225lbs.

They all are beautiful! But I, too, prefer, Miranda Kerr. And she exercises a lot, all of the VS models do. I think it's about genetics & what kind of exercise they do, but I don't see much into it. She also claims to have a very healthy diet, which I would believe in, because she seems to be really passionate about organic foods and stuff like this.
But I know hey can't go around showing underwear when just eating a little and not exercising. It ends up like this - http://modnipeklo.cz/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/prehlidka1.jpg or this http://modnipeklo.cz/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/prehlidka2.jpg - these girls look very thin, but have really flabby everything, because they diet and don't work out.
