I've heard a lot of opinions about women bodybuilders. Some people admire their strength and perserverence - the bravery to go against the norm - some feel that a woman should have a "woman's body"not a man's. What do you think and why?

i want to tell you some details about american federationof women bodybuiders if someone is interested , This federation has formed in 1980 , started by Susan Fry, kim cassidy and Doris Barrilleaux.Ben weider had asked them to start up a national organization for women bodybuilders, to provide a place where amateur women bodybuilder can be in a group.The superior physique association eventually fell by the wayside as a result of the AFWB.this afwb was absorbed by the NPC when it was formed , as it was illegal to have tow separate amateur federation for the IFBB

I think that if a women can gain muscle same has a man; then go for it! There is nothing wrong with it! Any man that say it is wrong, well they are just not secured with them selfs. Making your body stronger is 100% natural, and it make you feel better because your body is healthier.

I think the same way. I think if a woman wants to be strong with long, small muscles through yoga and pilates that's great. If they want to body build that's great too. If they want to do daily aerobic sprints to get the best names in fashion at the shoe store on sale days that's great too.
