Shemale ??
That's what you got out of that? One word? I'm sure even if you watched the full movie you'd only say this one word lol.
I am a cranky, miserable, film snob. Every film starring a female bodybuilder has been either really shitty or.. absolute dog shit (example: Nemesis)
But shit, judging from the trailer this looks not bad.
Why is it always the muscle worship fan that is portrayed as the bad guy in these fbb films but not the douchebag parter that gives the fbb ridiculous protocols and stacks? Dball for a female?
Lmao.. oh boy here we go.
My takeaway from the trailer: Her goal is to compete in the Olympia but the cost of training and PED is so high that she needs to do sessions to make some money. The sessions creep her out and make her feel like a prostitute. Her partner/trainer is pushing her too hard. She meets some dude who treats her like a person and not some fetish object and falls in love with him.
Reminds me of the book "Chemical pink", which was going to be made into a movie, but never happened.
The only type of female bodybuilding movie that I will watch involves a housewife that gets a new hobby which is bodybuilding and gets addicted to it and we see her awesome muscular evolution on screen as she progress and eventually wins the local competition.
Where can I watch the movie?
I think it picked up a distributor from the festival, possibly? So, it might get some sort of release this year.

The female muscle worship fan isnât portrayed as a villain, so to speak, but rather this shows that the protagonist here simply does not like doing sessions. Big difference. Trailer doesnât show the fan doing anything âbadâ.
Also, the trainer isnât painted in a good light either.
If you're an FBB you're gonna get 3 roles in a movie.
Most common, you're the buff henchwoman (see Cory Everson Double Impact). Man I loved that part where Cory dominated the other chick in that leather getup!
You're the punchline in a comedy. A dude thought he was picking up a not buff lady at a bar. Surprise, she was a FBB the whole time!
I'm adding a new category with movies like this and Pearl. It shows the struggles beyond the fantasy and shows us the darker seedy side of bodybuilding and how it can be a coping thing, going against societal expectations, etc etc.

So..."Getting Physical"? A film that desperately needs a remake imho.
Here is another girl who's gonna appear in the movie,some backstage shots. Tbh I dont have any problem with the main character, but IF I would've got the change to make the casting, I think my choice would be something like her, in the pics I attached. A more feminine bodybuilder would be a better representation and all in all a reason for a wider audience.

The director was probably going for a grittier and harsher look to fit the theme of the movie. Not to discredit the bodybuilder they did use as I'm sure she's normally at least decently attractive, but in the trailer she looked fairly rough in some of the scenes.

Yeah, and I'm sure they went throught a lot of woman during the auditions, and probably she was the best choice considering the look, and decent acting skills
Wanted to like that book, but oof, the writing was not great. Wasnât expecting Hemingway, but I gave up a quarter of the way into the novel.
A half decent book in my opinion. Made me realise how perverted some schmoes are, quite shocking. The author wrote it all from personal experience, but i imagine there was a lot of "poetic licence".
So, this has been getting some good notices, from the Sundance film festival- Gentle
"Edina, a female bodybuilder is ready to sacrifice everything for the dream she shares with her life partner and trainer Adam: to win the Miss Olympia. The odd love she finds on her way makes her see the difference between her dreams and her true self."
Starring Eszter Czonka.
