Now thats what I am talking about....some inside news.
Valentina to me always looks nice and big on stage, but then my husband got some pics with her at the mr. o, and she didnt look very big to me . Of course though, she is tops with me, just looked smaller to me when not on stage or in professional pics???
Guess all the heavy lifters might know something about blowing that lean mass=more unneccesary mass out of water??
Maybe they need that Fat ??
I've heard all about Dieselgirl......and its all been GOOD
So....W6.....short,tall, ripped up, glasses, long hair, short hair???

BTW: I asked for a pic with Valentina at the Nationals, and honestly.. i don't think she can speak English, and if she can.. she isn't the best person to talk to... got a snotty response from her... (she didn't say anything just looked at me kinda shitty and whipped out her little bicep for the camra)
wish I never asked for that pic...
I can understand why she was alone... lol

The bench shirt and supportive gear argument is one that has raged for nearly 20 years in the PL community. I am not only the poplular side (anti-equipment) but Bill Starr said it best "Strength is a greedy mistress." It is rather like the drug issue. An individuals best lift without AAS is not going to be as good as an "enhanced" lift.
As to the fat issue, well, some of the benchers there were 'one-lift wonders' who do minimal sqatting and deadlifting, and it shows. Also, to some degree, even in the higher levels of PL'ing, there is the belief that nutrition is not as important, which is rediculous. However, there is the very real fact that when one is striving for maximal strength, dieting will send your lifts right down the toilet (and yes, this has happened to me - before I learned to be more careful).
As to why so many people in PL'ing neglect nutrition, I have no idea.
If you are curious as to what some lifters can post without supportive gear, the only organization that supports raw lifting on a large scale is one you are familiar with, the AAU.
The records are here:

W6 is a short, ulgy, pencil-necked pot-bellied MF with a nasty disposition and bad gas. Looks like a pissed off troll.
For having a bad diet, Jill comp'd out at 7% in the Bod Pod, 10% skinfolds at 5'3", 167 lbs, but given the type of workouts she does for strength contests, it's not hard to understand why she's lean. She is a class act. A far cry from many of the arrogant female bodybuilders.
Hope you all had fun at the Arnold. It was crowded this year but there are plans to expand next year. It will be better.
The men's night show was great and I was satisfied with the results (men's and women's). As satistfied as one can be.
It was a pleasure meeting Hannibal and SPAT.

Jill may be a no gear lifter now, but during her prime competitive days as a powerlifter in the USPF, she wore just as much equipment as anybody else. She first won the nationals in the 165 pound class, IIRC.
As a strongwoman, you quite simply cannot wear that crap and expect to perform. Same goes for Olympic weightlifting.
And I am not always popular as a coach, because I am a believer in a well-conditioned, functional athlete.
