There was a time when having tattoos was an anti-establishment statement. Those days are long gone. Now little old grandmas have them. Sorry, you're not a "bad ass" because you have tattoos. If anything, you're a follower at this point.
Or maybe you're just someone who really likes tattoos and body art without all the pretensions of being anti-establishment or following others. People do things for different reasons.
You do have to be tough to get tattoos in certain areas. I have a half-sleeve and it hurt like hell to get. I can't imagine getting one in a more sensitive area. Ouch.

Knowing that tats are the first thing the po-po puts into a data base after fingerprints, it makes me think these 'badasses' are f'ing retarded. It's like driving a red Corvette with a vanity plate as a getaway car.
Why would this be a concern for people who don't break the law and are not criminals?
And if they are criminals, wouldn't their hyper-muscularity be a more obvious defining trait for people to identify when describing them? Most people, especially women, are not super jacked like the people we're talking about here. To use your analogy, the cops are going to be looking for a red Corvette first because, relatively speaking, there aren't many of them on the road.
Anyone who has gotten a tattoo knows how painful they can be. So, yeah, when I see Hulda Lopez's neck tattoo I think, "Damn, she is seriously tough," because that tattoo definitely caused a lot of pain to get.
7 is too many for WBB? That plus auto qualify would put a max of 10 on stage, which I think is the correct amount for them. This of course includes European shows.
1) He don't like his ladies shredded. Perhaps its some unusually violent aversion to starvation, but he doesn't even like seeing dudes that look like "the visible man" or whatever that educational toy with all the muscles and organs was. Dude hates Halloween decorations. Give me off season for the ladies.
2) That said, he ain't into fatties either. He once bedded a women who had that bypass surgery and touching her was like dippin yo hand in a jar of marshmallow creme. That ain't his kink, but God bless if it lights yo fire.
3) His woman gotta be tall and big-boned. Meetin' up with a petite lady with a buncha muscle either looks like she a fireplug, a Chihuahua. There's a joy in sliding yo foot down her leg while in bed and realizing that mofo just keeps going!
So having said all dat, it cuts you down to about the 98th percentile. That natural genetics where they still have skin as smooth and soft as the leather in Ricardo Monteban's Cordoba, fine round hips, pretty face, etc. Like somebody turned up the estrogen to 11 and the T up to 10 because they also pack on muscle and can help move a fridge up a flight of stairs and can laugh at a blonde joke, even if they're blonde. *as an aside, I have noticed these woman are also free of a lot of the bitchiness and mental drama that plague the Barbie-types.
Anyway, Kevin the Gangsta been training with his lady for a few years now and while she ain't lean, she'd smoke most of the male population in the weight room. And let me tell you, she might not "look" as hard as a BB, but putting your arms around that torso is like hugging a block of granite wrapped in a baby blanket. The chest photo doesn't really do justice to the thickness that exists over the boob... Like you can just grab a handful of what you think is going to be soft boob, then she flexes and your hand is forced open as it turns to a boulder. I know "scientifically" that doesn't make sense because a boobie is supposed to be fat, but her pecs don't just "bounce" they transform into a rock.
Recently, she started taking a drug called "wygovie", which is a version of of Ozempric, something used by diabetics. It does seems like after a few weeks of use, she is down in terms of actual weight, but feels bigger and harder than ever. I look forward to 2023 (at least in this aspect).
Again, there is a word for the 2-percenters that just have a superhero ability to gain/retain muscle and odds say I shouldn't have found so many (maybe 3-4 in about 25 years) but you also must realize that I've used the power of online dating to specifically search for them, and we're talking about multiple states.
So that's my story and I'm throwing the floor open for questions. Apologies for poor lighting, but bright lights tend to spoil the mood that says "okay, you can take some pics for your little online friends"

This really hurts wbb the most since they have 7 shows to wualify (I believe), and 2nd olace will not inherent the qualification ik told if someone already qualified competes for the prize money
For bikini or others there are way more chances to get in the show
Most of you guys are a bit younger, but back in the 90s, every other gym bro had to go get barbed wire or "tribal" tattoo for his creatine-volumized bicep. It was hilarious to me at the time. Total hater that I was, I'd be like, "You're gonna be wrinkled and 70 someday and the gear isn't gonna work anymore."
Now, let's switch over to the gym girls who do NOT have time for the gym-girl fanboys. That's me...and probably a few of you, too, even if you eschew the label and don't want it applied to you.
AND let's have some honest fucking conversations. Have you ever heard a woman say "I do this lifting/sculpting for me and for me only"? But then she turns around and her next 26 public statement are clearly intended to "impress" others?
Well, too-cool-for-school gym girl really IS doing this shit for herself and also for the unspoken competition of being something that so few other people in the world can ever be: fucking jacked.
"I'm more jacked than you, because reasons. And my tattoo is merely an outward expression of my knowing that I am tougher than you. And if you're triggered by my tattoos or my muscle, good. That means I'm right."
The only change to the 2023 rules is the removal of the points system which in 2022 allowed 3 competitors who had the most points in each division to qualify for Olympia.
Which means they will cut about 30 potential competitors from an 2023 Olympia show that will still be about 400 people (not event a 10% cut)
In 2022, the number of qualified competitors by division not including those who qualified via points were:
Looking at these numbers I don't think there was an issue with qualifying on points for Women's Bodybuilding due to the division not having many shows during the year (many of which occur far too early in the year IMO, but that's a different topic).
I heard some comments about the Olympia show being too long. Well the reason for that is obvious with sheer number of competitors in Bikini, Figure, Wellness, Classic Physique, and Men's Physique. Honestly the number of Men's 212 and Open are a bit bloated as well. I think something needs to be done to address those divisions, because they have far too many qualifying shows during the year. The 2023 rules do not address that problem, and for good reason because reducing the number of qualifying shows in the most popular divisions harms the sport of bodybuilding.
Do y'all think any serious competitor in any division would compete in a show that isn't an Olympia qualifier unless there was significant financial motivation to do so?
Effectively, without something to give non Olympia qualifying events value those events would disappear due to lack of interest from the competitors.
Which is why I think the points system coupled with tiered event system (like they had in 2022) will make a return at some point. That's the only way I can see to reduce the amount of competitors in the problem divisions, so the Olympia can be run and judged efficiently and effectively without harming the sport by effectively cutting shows. Or they may build a totally new system for qualifying but either way the status quo is not sustainable long term.
One thing apparent from thhe deep lineups in many of 3teh divisions was that many of the lower placed people didn't really belong. Tbh. No wonder they're changing it.
Bruh
Was really hoping this would be a thread about those of us who like tattoos, but the anti-tat people just can't help themselves.
I have a muscular imaginary girlfriend. At least two, actually. Does that count?

7 is still too many qualifiers, and 50+ is way too many for a single division.
Everyone doesn’t get to make it to the biggest stage.
This really hurts wbb the most since they have 7 shows to wualify (I believe), and 2nd olace will not inherent the qualification ik told if someone already qualified competes for the prize money

Both??
Gertrude didn't ask for this! 😂
See what I mean?
Even if you're in the Club, you exposed yourself! 😱
