HBO_Special (Female Bodybuilding) Real Sports W/ Bryant Gumbel Overview

HBO_Special (Female Bodybuilding) Real Sports w/ Bryant Gumbel was posted on BodybuildingFitnessFigure.com and the interview is candid and honest for competitors or those interested in the sport. For many viewers in the mainstream this was a surprise; not a surprise about the size of the athletes but the fact that the sport is not lucrative for female competitors in any way. It's also hard for some to understand the hard work endured with so little glory. For the female bodybuilding division at the Arnold Classic the first place prize money was merely loose change compared to the $100,000 grand prize for men. The video clip showed the negative aspects of female bodybuilding and the women who love the sport.

Mainstream Acceptance

The muscles may stand-out when a woman has a v-taper twice the size of a mans but the lack of support in general is another aspect that is only understood by a competitor. Blatant negative comments about size and femininity run rampant throughout the mainstream. Unfortunately, there is negativity among competitors also.

Drug Use

Although Anabolic Steroids are rampant in many sports bodybuilding, especially female bodybuilding, has an extremely negative reputation. The changes in femininity are the first thing noticed when it comes to female bodybuilding. For women the additional facial hair, loss of breast tissue, deepening of the voice and clitoral enlargement are symptoms that are irreversible.

Economic Gains

There is no economic gain from being a top female bodybuilder. In this industry competitors come dead last behind promoters, photographers, supplements companies and magazines when it comes down to earning potentials. It is not lucrative by any means and female bodybuilders give up so much of themselves for the pursuit of their dreams.

Sessions

Private sessions have been a common practice for women bodybuilders to maintain their lifestyles. The sessions include activities like wrestling, grappling and lift and carries. Although some athletes have allowed the sessions to turn into prostitution that is not the case for all.
