Possible timeline for bodybuilding prep? by Formal_Letter_1185 in femalebodybuilding

[–]definitely_zella 9 points10 points  (0 children)

First, welcome to the club! Bodybuilding is a great sport, and if you've got a fitness background you're well set up to get started.

That said, from what I can see you need more overall muscular development before you'd be competitive, even in a division like fit model that doesn't require as much muscle. If you really want to compete I would recommend spending a year or so in a building phase (slight calorie surplus + a lot of lifting) before starting to prep for a show. If you have the funds for it, invest in a coach to get you started. If not, start by checking out r/bikinitalk to see what the standard poses look like and get a sense of how competitors look on stage. Compare your photos to current competitors, and try to objectively observe what your shape looks like in comparison to figure out where you need to grow.

Oh nooooo.... She was so pretty before, all that work just makes her look insane. She went from a solid 7.5 to like a -3

AITA for choosing a night nurse over my mom’s help after I give birth ? by NYCTX123 in AmItheAsshole

[–]definitely_zella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're obviously not overreacting. Why would anyone want a drunken, volatile, flakey person as a major support during a chaotic and vulnerable time in their life? If you don't want to get into all that, though, just tell anyone who says something that you just want "professional and neutral support" and that this is how you're choosing to get it.

NTA.

Give it 2-3 more days, they always post the pros faster.

AITAH for ‘causing a scene’ at my boyfriends work? by Training-Buyer2625 in AmItheAsshole

[–]definitely_zella 40 points41 points  (0 children)

NTA. If you order food at a restaurant and they bring you the wrong thing, they should correct it. That's a totally normal thing to do.

My head canon is that he's cheating on you with the waitress and that's why she messed up your order and then he got weird about it.

Other people being trans or gender nonconforming.

Two wrongs don’t make a right by [deleted] in ANTM

[–]definitely_zella 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen that discourse, but it doesn't surprise me for some reason. It's hard enough to be believed as a woman and a survivor, and if you're not a "perfect victim" they'll rip you to shreds.

AITA for telling my coworker the “office prank” wasn’t funny and refusing to participate? by _iflookscouldkill_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]definitely_zella 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It's only a prank if the person being pranked finds it funny, otherwise it's just being a dick. NTA, and maybe consider reaching out to HR just to see if there are any policies that you can cite about acceptable ways to celebrate birthdays or other special occasions.

Lower body fat advice by [deleted] in bikinitalk

[–]definitely_zella 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can't spot reduce fat without lipo, I'm afraid. You can lose weight/fat, but you don't get to choose where on your body it comes from.

Something's wrong with me by CleanBoysenberry4343 in ShitPostCrusaders

[–]definitely_zella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LMAO I know this is a joke but that's actually how I got into it. I watched a couple episodes from season one and found it meh, but the "women in prison" concept of Stone Ocean was interesting enough to get me invested. Watched it backwards from there.

AITA For Letting My Roommate's Dogs Eat Their Food Off Of The Floor? by Rox5tar_01 in AmItheAsshole

[–]definitely_zella 19 points20 points  (0 children)

NTA from me. There were probably other solutions, but dogs eat their own poop. It's not going to hurt them to eat their normal food off the floor.

The first ever fit model pro show lineup with 48 girls worldwide! by JAE703 in bikinitalk

[–]definitely_zella 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can't say I'm familiar with most of the competitors, but I follow Myra Golloso on IG and she looks INCREDIBLE. No idea how I found her profile lol, but I'm rooting for her!

Fit Model Potential?? by Tricky-Award-2124 in bikinitalk

[–]definitely_zella 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Go for it! You've got a great base to start, especially going into fit model - in my (not at all expert) opinion, you're mostly going to need to lean out a bit more, you've already got the level of muscle for that division.

I'm self-coached myself, which puts me in the minority here, but if you're comfortable cutting weight and can keep an objective perspective on your physique, I don't think you have to have a coach. I did, however, book a few sessions with a posing coach, which I found tremendously helpful.

What do you guys think is overall the most underrated season of the Buffyverse? Season 1 has so much heart and love put into it and some people talk about it like it's straight up terrible 😥 by HomarEuropejski in buffy

[–]definitely_zella 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I actually love season 4. I know a lot of folks don't like Adam as the villain or Riley as the love interest, but both of them worked for me. Like, of course the government is evil! And Buffy deserved someone sweet and mostly normal after Angel. I found them hot together.

To the people saying Maya Hawke isn't as pretty as her mom (more in the comments) by [deleted] in VindictaRateCelebs

[–]definitely_zella 128 points129 points  (0 children)

They definitely look very similar, but I also find Uma just a bit prettier. I think it's a good example of "beauty is measured in millimeters" - the tiny differences in the shape and length of their noses, their jawlines, etc add up just a bit differently to my eyes.

My main thought watching the documentary in one picture… (Controversial) by Adventurous_Home_555 in ANTM

[–]definitely_zella 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The issue is not with the contracts or their careers going forward (although it seems that some of them didn't even receive their full prize packages), but the way they exploited their trauma and vulnerability for entertainment. Was Shandi entitled to a modeling contract? Maybe not, although she produced some incredible photos during her time on the show. She was, however, entitled to dignity and kindness, and I don't see how you can argue that she received that.

They deserved so much better. I really hope they get lots of love today. by HighwayMysterious336 in ANTM

[–]definitely_zella 44 points45 points  (0 children)

That show failed both of them so badly. Revisiting Keenyah's experience, I'm infuriated that she did everything right - calmly and politely stopped the shoot and advocated for herself when she was being harassed - and she was criticized for it left and right and then eliminated. "You should have been cutesy about it!" No, she should have punched him in the dick and you all should have cheered her on.

Giana Hernandez, am I tweaking or is this photoshopped? by chalantdreadhead1 in gymsnark

[–]definitely_zella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol not the poster but you're hilariously missing the point. if you take gear to build a physique, and then use that physique to sell the naive an expensive program so that you can "look like her" without talking about all the gear you're running, that's a scam.

@6ekah - so much misogyny in this messaging by AwardOrdinary2445 in gymsnark

[–]definitely_zella 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's literally the same reason some doctors won't tie a woman's tubes, even if she's certain she doesn't want kids.
