There's a pic of a female bodybuilder, Allison Bookless, on page 40 in 'Sculpting Her Body Perfect'; she fits the image that stikfigure mentioned, I don't know if you can get to see a copy from the library etc. She's a firefighter and paramedic, and takes nutritional supplements, but what sort, it doesn't say.

I think Maxmilian tried to post a pic of Allison, but I found a link, this is about as close to the book pic, as I could find on the web:

Do you know what I've noticed though? The female bodybuilders don't actually look grotesque at all if they're not flexing and posing y'know?
So, maybe your alpha male would actually quite like the extreme bodybuilder in you - he just doesn't know it yet....
go for it!!
(minus the testosterone...until maybe after menopause  )
maybe we could start a little M&S Girls Get Ripped competition?

Hey, that sound awesome. Just so long as I get a little head start, I've still got loads of fat to melt off.  If the boys would be so kind as to vote or something, that would be a great motivator. My first body building competition!! LOL Who would've thought....
But I agree with the other observation too, the buff ladies only look masculine when their posing in the micro bikini.

I'd think that you may struggle to find people willing to sift through pictures of bikini clad females to be honest.
That being the case, I'd offer to help you out and endure the hardship of such onerous tasks.

BUt more seriously if you want to go for it Wolfie then do so, if you don't like the results you can always cut back, do what you want to do for yourself and don;t let others disuade you.

Now, that's very true. At least I've got some time to think about it, I'm still a ways off with getting my body to the point where I cans eriously start considering it.

I bet you need less of a head start than you think Madame Wolfie.
I have a feeling 5K might be the unfair competition here 
should we set a date for posting pics? or measurements or something?

I'm sure I'll be sorry I suggested this...
from this  to this  yes?

Unfair competition, me...nooooo! Maybe a year ago, I'm game, although I'm an introvert at heart, which doesn't help...I get to wear a 'Scream' mask to mask my identity...
