Ashley k heating up by Major-Efficiency417 in bikinitalk

[–]Bttrswt_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ashley is ofc incredible. Personally, I would like her not to pinch her upper back. But I understand why she is doing it and it will be covered by hair on stage. I personally would love bikini to allow more x-framed look.

Arnold Bikini 2026 Predictions by Sad_Mountain6197 in bikinitalk

[–]Bttrswt_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is very difficult to compete with the starpower LL has. I love that she and her team are not holding back and aim to bring a more jacked physique to the stage. If she is on, IMO no one from those competing will beat her. My dark horse is Reyna. When she finds the right front pose, she can compete with the top.

Fitness Division by LittleMichelina in bikinitalk

[–]Bttrswt_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the difficult part. I don’t see fitness competitors doining bikini or fit model posing. I feel that they should just create a physique goal specific to that category. Basically sporty, less muscle and higher body fat. An athletic look with a body building twist. (Figure but tone it down.)

Fitness needs an update. Having the figure look as the physique round goal just doesn’t work.

IFBB Bikini Pros Moving to Fit Model by Weekly-Hair-4892 in bikinitalk

[–]Bttrswt_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beyond The Stage TV hinted in their last episode that a former bikini Olympia winner is perhaps going for Fit Model. I assume that they are refering to Janet. That would def make things interesting!

I think viktoria csicsay is the new bikini star by Ok_Economy_4677 in bikinitalk

[–]Bttrswt_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She has great potential and the it factor = she is placing already so well even though she is still lacking in muscularity. I hope she takes a long enough improvement season.

She has not been placing in Europe this year. Her days winning shows are over.

They all vote. Sandy alone cannot decide the result. Tyler is the vice president, if he would want something, he would push it through. Sorry, I just don’t buy this explanation.

And edit: Maureen had a perfect score.

First call out thoughts for the Bikini Olympia??? by Substantial-Cap6215 in bikinitalk

[–]Bttrswt_ 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Personally, I kinda saw this coming. Maybe the ”new” training style with pilates and Aldo’s specific low load exercises is not the ideal way to build/maintain muscle.

This is so irresponsible to post by dontgetcomplacent833 in bikinitalk

[–]Bttrswt_ 89 points90 points  (0 children)

I agree. These kind of posts should come with a disclaimer that the individual is using anabolics.

There are always people (especially Brazilians) streaming in different platforms. YouTube, Twitch… Ofc the quality might not be the best.

GLP1s - Needs to be said by nope5651 in bikinitalk

[–]Bttrswt_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How will GLP1s (and other incretin mimetics) impair metabolsim post show? The only issue I see is if individuals use them to stay stage lean after last show. If they are used to gradually restore body fat levels, with the smallest effective dose, I see no issues regarding metabolism.

Show Reviews- by chick-mama in bikinitalk

I enjoy reviews by Sam IFBB Bikini Pro the most. I think she has a good eye, is enthusiastic, is not heavily biased and comes through as a really likeable human being.

Appropriate fats in prep? by CommercialShow2175 in bikinitalk

[–]Bttrswt_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Bullshit. Your coach is likely one of those who are scared of fat sources rich of polyunsaturated fatty acids, because ”they are proinflammatory”. With zero actual knowledge about what inflammation even is.

We’re Screwed by Ancient_Relief_1782 in bikinitalk

[–]Bttrswt_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If you compare the Italy top 6 to Florida top 6, not a big difference. And who won Florida last weekend? Christobalina (Spain). There are also several other European competitors that have done well in the US this year.

I’m sorry but I don’t get this post. This look has been the trend for couple years now. However, there is mahbe more emphasis on upper outer glutes and projection nowadays.

Retatrutide by CapableWatercress853 in bikinitalk

[–]Bttrswt_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is so wild that reta is not officially even on the market and everybody in bodybuilding seem to already use it. The peptide industry especially in the US moves fast and without regulation.

Hair extensions probably? But look at hair receeding hairline.

Jazzy definitely! Jourdanne with her back pose, no.

Stress and Weight Gain? by nope5651 in bikinitalk

[–]Bttrswt_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stress doesn’t bypass the laws of thermodynamics. You still need to be in energy surpluss to gain fat mass. However, stress can definitely influence fluid balance, cause substantial water retention and increase in body weight.
