WTF - can't find any legit female bodybuilding sites!!!

I've been trying to google body building and weight lifting sites for women. It seems like most of what I get are garbage sites made for guys who want to ogle muscle chicks. WTF?!?!!??

Other than stumptous.com and DF, what other sites do you guys like for female weight lifting and body building?

That seems to be all it is about these days. This is the most serious muscle fitness site I visit regularly. Even sumptuous, although excellent info, is written a little too much on the political-power-to-women side for me. Butchy haircuts, heavy black rimmed glasses and doc martins was the feminist rebellion gear of the 80's. It's not my tribal dress code.

but DF is the BEST!!!!

Don't bother looking. BB is BB; doesn't matter what gender you are. All the tenets and theories apply whether you be man or woman.

that's why i don't look for female bodybuilding sites - rulez is rulez (although the modifications for short women on stumptuous are bloody amazing).

DF and Stumptuous truly are the best.

I've looked at many other sites and I keep coming back to these 2 sites.

I contribute it to the Canadian factor.

Funny . . . where I live that's how the young, cool, downtown artsy crowd still dresses regardless of sexual orientation.

I guess they ran out of creative ideas for self expression. The architecture students and philosophy students of the 80's were well known for that style.

Hmmm. . . people who make their living designing innovate new buildings, new products, marketing concepts, innovative software. . . out of creative ideas - that would be a tragedy.

I guess they are just not as creative as those wacky canadians

Or, maybe they just have a different style than their neighbors up north

Not that different. Go to any little restaurant in old Quebec city and you'll feel like you are in a time warp back to the beatnicks of the 50's. All the art and philophy majors are drinking coffee, practising their English smoking Gitain cigarettes, same black glasses, cropped hair and docs. The boys and girls both have the same unisex look and they wear a lot of black. They also wrap their necks with arafat style dish towel scarves.

LOL so unique!

Everyone tries so hard to be "unique" that they end up copying someone else in the process and call it their own. If a person tries so hard to be unique, they lose themselves and that's more sad than the initial attempt. I say be true to yourself and don't give a rats arse what anyone else thinks about you. Life is so much easier that way.

**threenorns** · 18-Jun-05, 10:37 AM

within each subsect, they adhere just as rigidly to a dress code as any military body. it's not that they want to be "unique unto themselves", but that they want to be taken from the get-go as A Serious Art Major, A Serious Philosopher, or whatever. it's the same as punk: punks dress that way to express a certain philosophy, not because they're rebelling against mainstream fashion. you might say that the dress code acts as advertising: it expresses a certain set of ethos and saves having to explain what they're about to each person they encounter - i mean, you're not likely to walk up to a punk and ask his opinion on Garth Brooks or Pat Boone, eh?
