Who was your favorite (2005-2015 era)?

I chose these women because they were all young at the time and had a meteoric rise in online popularity before the days of Instagram. I left out blacklisted names since they aren't searchable here (Cindy Landolt, for example).

Those who remember that time will know. For everyone else their names are easily searchable if you're not sure who they are.

CP, easily

There might be seeing more of Erica Cordie this year ;)

The correct answer is Katka Kyptova :)

CP, easily

Dude, not like this lol

The correct answer is Katka Kyptova :)

Katka + Brigita

Very surprised not to see Alina Popa on that list! Wasn't she second to Iris Kyle in the Miss Olympia for 2 years in 2013 & 14?

Had she been on this list she would certainly have my vote.

Heather armburst or Brenda Smith (or are they too old school)

Shannon Courtney for sure 🙌

Dani Reardon but more the shape she was in around her college years than later when she got more shredded:

The correct answer is Katka Kyptova :)

She's the biggest regret so far, as far as names I forgot to include. Narrowing it down to 10 entries is harder than you might think. But she's easily a top 3 contender.

Alina is also a favorite of mine for her muscle control. She's easily one of the greatest I've ever seen.

Having said that, and based on my memory of that time period, I don't think she would have placed in the top 3 of this list. I could be wrong and I'd be more than happy to include her in a future list, however.

That sounds great, Sean... keep it coming!

Fabiola hands down. She was massive, cut, symmetrical, and stunning.

Fabiola Boulanger. She was massive, juiced, and beautiful.

Jessica Work. She was probably my first fbb “crush” (for lack of a better word.) Amazing poser and strong as fuck too (former powerlifter and I think even a boxer!)

I wonder where she is. Completely disappeared from the scene

good thread, good list. not that it isn't great now but def the last golden era before socials took over.

Shannon, Dani, CP, Erica all were GND type women for me that got buffed up to varying degrees.

i still have the memory of CP's spelling bee vid in my head, thought that was probably the best video she ever did

What's the spelling bee vid?

Dani! She was the perfect mix of muscle and femininity plus she had an infectious personality. She showed so much charisma in her videos.

First time poster.. I'm gonna say (circa 2007) Elena Seiple.

What's the spelling bee vid?

She had a yellow shirt on and was spelling the muscles she was flexing and using them in a sentence. It was wildly hot. This was maybe 2008 or 2007

Pauliina Talus (more like 2005-2008)

There where so many great physiques in that time its kind of hard to choose hahaha.

Fabiola Boulanger when she trained for Bodybuilding was incredible!
