Women of Steel: Female Bodybuilders and the Struggle for Self-Definition

41tzrRWE5UL. SL160  Women of Steel: Female Bodybuilders and the Struggle for Self Definition Review

“A lot of people in the general public think female bodybuilding is gross and freaky . . . that that’s not what a woman is supposed to look like.” So says Michelle, a national bodybuilding judge. In fact, athletic women, especially those in sports where strength, muscle, and sweat feature prominently, are typically viewed by the public as being outside the boundaries of appropriate femininity. And perhaps no group of women athletes embodies this gender outlaw status more than female bodybuilders, who by their bulk and sheer strength challenge our very notions of what it means to be a woman. Why would women choose to look like that? And what does it take to get and stay so muscular? Maria R. Lowe has interviewed more than one hundred people connected with women’s bodybuilding, from the bodybuilders themselves, to trainers, family members, spouses, judges, and sponsors. In Women of Steel, Lowe introduces us to a world where size and strength must be balanced with a nod toward grace and f

Tease Times Two Diana is hard at work practicing a sexy routine for an upcoming fitness contest, when her friend Karen walks in. The hot blonde urges Karen to incorporate more “tease” into her muscle posing, and she herself needs some tips on better flexing, “Let me show you how to use your butt to tease and freak out guys!” At first tentative, the powerfully built brunette soon picks up on “how to do it”, and ultimately the whole thing gets down to devising sexy poses for their boyfriends. Really enticing dancing, sensual posing, and very alluring attire are featured as these two contrasting beauties compete for your attention. Whom will you choose, the lush, tightly muscled blonde with the perfect bikini body, or the shorter, ex-cheerleader brunette with those gorgeous, bulging leg muscles? Tough choice? Don’t worry, there’s no real need to choose. You can have them both on this one teasingly entertaining tape. USE SEARCH TAG ‘LSP’ IN ‘MOVIES & TV’ TO SEE OUR FULL LINE OF VIDEOS

Topless – My Ultimate Leg Experience
Over the past 20 years I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing many great pairs of female legs. Often people ask me “who was the very best of all?” The answer depends on your frame of reference. Are you talking wrestling, pure strength, muscular appearance, or what? I’ll just say this: I’ve felt stronger legs, seen bigger legs, and more flexible legs, but in 20 years I’ve never seen legs that do for me what this dancer’s does. From her strong, deeply arched feet to her tiny ankles… from her baseball sized calves up to the cable like hamstrings which tie directly in to her large rock hard glute muscles, the exotic Monica’s lower body is the most awesomely appealing I’ve witnessed in my lifetime. She drives me absolutely out of my mind with the hottest, briefest outfits and the sexiest flexing and dancing imaginable. ln fact, l “lost it” during the taping, setting the camera on auto pilot and jumping into the scene myself. The urge was just too great

About

md1 300x210 AboutWhy have I created a site called Adding Muscle Mass?

I’ve always been into general health and fitness since I left high school in the late eighties, but bodybuilding has always been my real passion and the one sport that I’ve continuously enjoyed and practised.

Although I’ve never tried or wanted to compete in Bodybuilding competitions I’ve always found weight training and going to the gym the most enjoyable of any sport I’ve been involved in, which is why I launched this website.

My day job is as a freelance I.T. consultant, so producing a website on bodybuilding using my I.T. and Internet technical knowledge just seemed like a natural thing for me to do.

So what experience have I got?

I’ve been bodybuilding for 20 years now and I have only ever trained naturally during that time, i.e. no steroids or other harmful drugs. Even though I’ve taken long periods off through injuries or work commitments I’ve always got back into it. Here are just some of my experiences…

  • At the start I was a skinny teenager of 11 stones (154 lbs) and at my peak I have reached over 15 stone (210 lbs) with a low body fat percentage.
  • I’ve trained at over 10 different gyms, including hardcore bodybuilding gyms where I received expert advice from competing bodybuilding professionals.
  • I converted a garage at my home into a fully functional gym.
  • I have a personal library of over 30 books on bodybuilding, weight training, and nutrition (and I’ve read them all by the way!).
  • I worked through many injuries, including one very serious shoulder injury where I was told I wouldn't be able to do weights again. I proved them wrong!
  • I’ve been overweight and have managed shift the excess fat without losing muscle.
  • I’ve done countless variations of bodybuilding programs, some that worked and some that didn’t.
  • I’ve spent ridiculous amounts of money on supplements that have been a complete waste of time, but I’ve also found some that have helped me a lot.
  • I’ve tried many different bodybuilding diets and I know exactly what works and what doesn’t.
  • I’ve help and mentored several beginners get into bodybuilding and weight training and have seen them gain some great muscle mass.
  • I’ve written software programs, spreadsheets and other documents for tracking my progress, keeping logs, setting targets, and so. Many of these will appear on this site for free!

Hopefully, if you are reading this then you can relate to some of my experiences and you can gain some useful tips and advice.

Even better, you could share your knowledge and experiences with me and other visitors to the site. I also hope you find my free workout logs, reports, and other free software downloads useful.

If not, please let me know why so I can improve them. Good luck in your quest to improve your body and mind!
