I’ve seen some BB.com video where she explains why she won’t do nude.
Fine, but where’s the firebreak? You’ll show intense camel toe but no nudity?

Still, they should bring back bigger posing shorts.
That would help get rid of the homo-erotic vibe for sure. I think we can just move back to normal speedos and assume that if they have hamstring striations and lower-lat christmas tree striations that they’ve got other striations we don’t need to see but we know are there. [/quote]
Thinking back to Pumping Iron, what Arnold wore wasn’t even a speedo, really, was it? I definitely don’t remember seeing the big Prussian lug in a banana hammock.
It would definitely help regular bystanders like me get into the sport if I didn’t have to look at thong wedgies and male moose knuckles.

I don’t blame her. It’s a slippery slope and you have to draw the line somewhere. A lot of woman go from modeling sexy outfits; to nudes; to soft core porn; to hardcore; to violent gang bangs. The whole process could take a few years, but it does happen.
Each time they are brought to the next level by those in the industry rationalizing how small the differences are and how substantial the pay increases jump from one level to the next.
Yeh, she’s my wife and I don’t want her getting railed in some cheap 3.99 sales bin couples’ store flick.

I honestly do not understand how people who profess an interest in bodybuilding can look at competitors on stage and immediately think “homo-erotic” - at least, not without a slight predisposition towards it themselves.
Seriously. Isn’t it odd that people can’t look at a bodybuilding competition without immediately projecting sexuality onto it? I look at these guys the way I would look at a sculpture - I focus on the physique and its blend of size, proportion, and symmetry etc… I do not, instead, zero in on it as being merely a bunch of waxed and oiled dudes chillin’ in banana hammocks under bright lights.
I judge (and, in some cases, admire) their physiques without having to battle the thoughts of them Frenching each other (or me) out of my head. Hell, I can even look at a dog without thinking bestiality, too.
I think anyone who gets uncomfortable about a “homo-erotic” vibe with bodybuilding needs to just grow the hell up. It’s an ass, people, I’m sure you’ve seen one or two of them before. And this is one of those times where it’s ok to look at one without feeling icky or guilty.
I mean, he’s not asking you to stick anything in it, for God’s sake.

This is exactly how I feel about it even though I could see a huge benefit in making posing trunks cover more area than they currently do. I personally don’t give a shit about this particular pose. The level of dryness it takes to get in that condition is the most harmful aspect of what these guys do and what will directly injure more of them than anything else.
If anything, we need to stop pushing for people to come in that dry in the first place.

Maybe at least not during the show.
But in all seriousness, I have never looked at a male bodybuilding picture and have thought anything variating from what a judge would look at. Maybe not as closely as a judge, but the concept remains the same. Maybe female figure models (not the bodybuilding type, the Jamie Eason type).

I guess you meant Styrian lug not Prussian lug. Prussia is a region in Germany and Poland. Styria is the “Bundesland” (state) of Austria where Arnold was born.
As U.S. citizen, you might think “Germany, Austria, who gives a shit?” but Austrians in general do not like being mistaken for a “piefke”.
Can we cut the ghey disucssion with the closet homos (who basically say: “it’s not possible to discuss manass related questions in a heterolike fashion”), please?
That said, ass striations are the deal breaker for me and for most of the uninitiated.
BB Athletes need to be defined even shredded, when on stage, but I don’t have to be able to take their pulse from a distance. It looks shitty. And the means to achieve it are perhaps as unhealthy as the rest of their drugs combined.
Curiously, my girlfriend, whom I successfully converted to free weight training and who now adores girls like Miss Abou, pointed out how gross she finds that striated gluteus maximus.

Hmm.
If they want to have Arnold, why did they took away his stadium? And why is Hitler german, then?
Austrians, even the Swiss, are practically Germans.

Well, I guess it’s better than being mistaken for Australia. Whatever. I’ll slip an extra shrimp on the barbie.

No, it’s definitely worse. Also, I have never been mistaken for an Australian so far. I guess Arnold helped you guys distinguish Austria and Australia. But right. Whatever. Let’s get back to butt striations.

This is why I suggested old school trunks. I don’t really care if I can see their ass or not, but the things modern competitors do to get visible striation in theirs is the most unhealthy part of the sport. No one looks at Arnold in the bigger trunks and says he’s not dry enough.

No, I definitely take the point. I’ve bristled at being called a Yankee, and I definitely don’t see the US or anywhere else as a monolithic conglomerate.
For the record, I’ll no longer refer to The Oak as Prussian.
It’s good to know. 'Cause knowledge is power! (In cheesy after-school special exuberant voice)

Ich wurde hier schon einmal für einen Australier gehalten. Aber hier geht es ja wie gesagt um geriffelte �rsche.

Fuckin A and I’m the only who gets rattled by german E-shouting.
I feel so out of the loop.

Wish i could understand wtf Micheal2507 was saying about Oz, guess he was saying what a wonderful place Australia is!.
Having spent more than enough time in Europe, trust me its not flash for us either when we are mistaken for Austrian’s but as soon as we open our cake hole, that gets sorted.
As for butt striations, it really is taking it to the limit but hey thats the game now, keep on thinking of Renil Javiner(excuse my spelling) a pro that had the most incredible hamstring and glute striations before his time.

…which is what it comes down to. People started all sporting the same crazy leg development after Tom Platz hit the scene. People started building massive backs after Lee Haney won the Olympia. People started chasing the mass monsters after Yates won the Olympia. People started drying out enough to see striations in their ass after people like Renel Janvier started becoming popular.
It has always been that way. Once someone builds a standout body part that begins to get a lot of attention, everyone else falls in line behind them.
