FMS Faves @NPC USAs 2014

Today, not one, not two, but THREE of the most gorgeous muscular women in the world for your viewing pleasure, all of whom have been celebrated on FMS before. All three competed at the recent NPC USAs, and although none of them received their pro cards on this occasion, all finished in the top three of their respective classes.


THERESA IVANCIK
3rd, bodybuilding (heavyweight)
previously on FMS: Theresa Ivancik: Worth Celebrating




Outconditioned by runner-up Joella Bernard, and outsized (and outconditioned) by heavyweight and overall champ Aleesha Young, Theresa, sadly, will have to keep her pro dreams on ice for a little longer. Now, I'm no expert (far from it) but as far as I can see, size doesn't seem to be the issue - not upper body size, anyway. To me, she looks like she's going to be utterly unbeatable in her Instagram "countdown" shots, then, on the day, it's somehow not quite there on the stage.




Nevertheless, she's still relatively young for a female bodybuilder, and surely it's only a matter of time before she does, finally, nail it and get that pro card she so covets. Placing 3rd at a huge national show is such an honor and I couldn't be more excited! she told her Facebook followers after the USAs. Planning ahead to future shows is underway! She's wondering whether to take a break, and she probably deserves it. Or do the Nationals in November? There's a part of me hoping I'll get just one more sight of Theresa in her posing suit before the end of the year... Yes, indeed.




And you can see some USA heavyweight action on Theresa's YouTube channel.


BRIE EUBANKS
3rd, physique (D)
previously on FMS: Hot and Hard Countdown: 10 to 1




Known for her abs and extreme vascularity (not to mention some super-naughty webcam shows), Her Brieness is, as voted by FMS readers, the 5th Hottest Woman in the World, and I seriously doubt the images we have of her doing her thing on stage at the USAs are going to make anyone feel that she finished too high on that list. She's beautiful, no question, and was in great shape at the USAs, but there were other beautiful women in great shape on that stage with her. But Brie always seems to have that little indefinable extra. Maybe it's in the facial expressions, maybe it's just all in my head, but I just KNOW that when I see video of Brie from the show she is really going to "get my tap dripping", as a certain Mr. C. Moore Glootz would say.




She may not have won her class in Las Vegas, but I'm sure she won some hearts and minds among the female muscle headed members of the audience, and, as it turns out, she actually fared none too badly with the judges as well. So the scorecards have been released, she posted to her Iron Built blog, and not only did I miss 2nd by 1 point but I was ONLY 5 points shy of first! Now, she confesses, a part of me wants to go back to Vegas. Kind of want to own that show... but figured I should go where I haven’t been before. What do you think??? Comments will be considered...




Well, my considered comment is that Brie should appear at my house next.

Follow Brie on her blog, her YouTube channel, her Facebook and on Twitter.


SUSANNA HAND
2nd, bodybuilding (light-heavyweight)
previously on FMS: Susanna (Bet You Can't Keep Your) Hand(s Above the Table) @NPC Nationals 2013




We bemoaned her lowly placing at the NPC Nationals last year not because we thought it was unfair, but simply because it robbed us of another, say 20 to 30 images of Susanna, as 9th meant no evening show on that occasion. Luckily, there was no such problem here. Having finished 4th at the USAs in 2013, she was awarded runner-up in her class at this show, so the good news is we get to feast our eyes on this jaw-dropping muscular beauty in two posing suits this time. Hooray!




You may remember we reported that Susanna wasn't exactly gagging to get her pro card: I don't determine whether I am happy or feel successful based on that, she said before the Nationals last year. Still, she is getting closer all the time. Second represented her best finish at a national show ever at her fourth attempt - twice as a heavyweight and twice (including this time) as a light-heavyweight.



Perhaps next time will be fifth time lucky. She may not be hung up on winning that pro card, but the victors always get to hit a few more poses next to that trophy - so that would be another ten, maybe fifteen pics of Susanna for my enjoyment. So, good thing.


Enjoy!
