How did monica not win? I think her and the girl who placed 5th or 6th(cant remember but very muscular win) not get higher. I mean, im sorry but Jenny looked much softer than many of the other women there. And I didnt like how Gina looked either.

oldfella · Oct 1, 2007

The shame of Monica not winning is because the last time she competed they (judges) told her she was too musclular! Go Figure. So she diets off some perfectly good muscle, esp in her legs and does not even go top 6???? So much for doing what judges told her. She should have kept the muscle. It is so hard to judge figure as they seem to change what they look for from show to show.

Its a bullshit sport in my view, competitors dont even know what the judges want. One year its muscularity and hardness, next year its overall feminine appearance and softer look, and the year after that its some other thing. Decide on the goddamn rules, so that competitors can actually prepare accordingly

I am so sick of this Olympia

this year really sucked all acroos the board except maybe IRIS as Ms.Olympia, the rest of the events and expo (except the MMA stuff) was just plain weak. I am so glad the company I rep for sat this year out as many others did too. I would rather us spend the $40k for the Arnold or some better local shows. I spoke with about 100 different peeps from the athletes to the exhibitors all of them felt this year just lacked that "excitement". As for Monica poor thing really busted her ass trying to come in feminine and conditioned. Maybe she was too muscular, as some say, but I thought she got Robbed of a much deserved higher placing. Phil Heath said its a shitty time for the sport as there is so little support from the officials, industry, and now the general public looks at them all as roided out maniacs 1 step away from jail, No love or respect. I have been around this sport for at least 20 years and never thought it would become what it is today. A clusterfuk!

I think monica should have won. Most of those girls looked like swimsuit models or just a girl with a decent figure at the beach or something. Nothing impressive. Monica was hard,dry muscular and conditioned. She should have won.

oldfella · Oct 1, 2007

Monica is a well seasoned competitor. She has the ability to change her appearance from show to show based on what the judges tell her. This year she did just that. She conformed to their wishes and dieted down a hell of a lot of great looking muscle. Monica with muscle is still more feminine than most of the other women out there. I have pics of her carrying a lot more mass than she displayed at this show, and in a bikini she blows all the other girls away for shape, symmetry, muscularity and femininity. I always shake my head at these figure shows due to the conflicting views of the judgeing panel. Monica is in a class of her own. A real pro and great looking woman. Theres the short class, the tall class, and then there's Monica class!

Sad, I don't like the swing figure is making. Might as well be Miss America.

I haven't seen pictures, but by the sounds of it I'll be disappointed.

Monica's one of my favorite physiques.

They way the judges change their minds makes it so frustrating and totally confusing.

Strunk · Oct 3, 2007

I personally know one female who was in the top five. She said she didnt train for the show other than cardio and she didnt diet very long at all as they are wanting them soft.

Are you fuckin serious? Why doesnt she just compete in a fuckin beauty contest cause i really dont see a difference here.

Strunk · Oct 3, 2007

Yes...I'm being serious. I know her very well and she woudn't lie to me. She said last year they told her she was too muscular. She said that she hasnt really trained with weights this year. She said for her prep for the O, she just did cardio and she only dieted for a few weeks as she stayed somewhat lean in the offseason and they dont want them that lean anymore....and placed top five.LOL

I can confirm this straight from her mouth as well.....I talked to her aobut it at the Arnold this year and she was doing the same thing to get ready for shows then too...

Did you even look at the same show bud...lol. Your adjectives describe 5th place finisher Amanda Savall, no Monica. Amanda is a great competitor and person (also a friend of mine, so I am trying not to display bias). Honestly, take a closer look. IMHO, 1 should have gone to Amanda and 2 to Gina A.

YES,JUST GOTO MUSCULARDEVELOPMENT.COM

Figure

I also talked to the same girls, as Strunk and Bulldog, and she stated the judges wanted her less muscular. This was after her missing out on her Pro card numerous times. So, she and her trainer told her to stop lifting and start running more. This way she would strip some muscle off.
