Woman vs Food: Baby Want Beef
FMS fave Asha Hadley is a lady in the street, a beast in the gym, and obviously something like Lord Greystoke before he got all civilised in a restaurant...
At least she's using a fork this time.

Chicago II: Swell's Picks
I got rather serious about events in Toronto last month, and I have already been serious about Helle Trevino's triumph in Chicago, so it's probably time I redress the balance with a more light-hearted kind of contest report. Besides, Chicago was, it seems to me, something of a joyous occasion for the female muscle head. No bikini classes, just open Fitness, Figure, Physique and Bodybuilding - and Masters' Figure, Physique and Bodybuilding to boot. Seven classes and eighty women in all.
Yes, granted, for those of us who weren't lucky enough to actually be there, it did seem to take an eternity for images of the contest to become available, but the quality of the female muscle on show in every division combined with the fact that the one photographer there was Chris Nicoll to mean that since those images have become available, we've all been wading knee deep in female muscle gold.
Apologies to the meatheads' Figure favourite on the Muscular Development play-by-play, runner-up Wendy Fortino. Apologies too to the ever lovely Mindi O'Brien and her legendary biceps, and to all the Fitness ladies (not least Marta Aguiar) and all their gymnastic fantastic moves. Apologies to the Physique gorgeousness of Rose Brunner and runner-up Sheronica Henton. And finally, apologies (and a big ol' FMS *SWOON*) to the dazzling smile, the lats for miles, and the itsy-bitsy waist of second-time Figure winner Cydney Gillon.
Sadly, none of the above have made it into our review today. Who's to say that by the time I've finished here all of them won't be glad that they were spared?! But anyway if you want to find out if your favourite has made the cut, then read on...
THE FMS BEST OF CHICAGO 2015
10 ROXANNE'S ABS
She may have finished way down in the WPD, but there aren't too many women out there in any division that can hold a candle to Roxanne's sexy six-pack. And as always it was her best feature that she reserved her special big smile for. Crunch and shine!
9 THE (BIENNIAL) FLOWER
You would have thought from some of the ridiculousness on the forums that she hadn't competed since 1995 ("OMG! Lora's back!" etc. etc.) but like the "Bridal veil" spirea outside my front door, Lora in fact flowers every two years these days - her most recent previous outing had been at the 2013 Tampa Pro. As flowerings go, this wasn't the most resplendent - hair not great, tan all but forgotten, conditioning... I could go on. Still, remember that video of Lora pumped, naked and sweating as she rides her man in bed, her granite glutes harder and denser with every thrust? Reckon it qualifies her for some slack. So I've changed my mind. She looked AMAZING.
8 NATHALIE THOMPSON'S GOOD HAIR DAY
After an FMS tip-off, Chris De Burgh is now working on the lyrics to what will be his own homage to Nathalie and to his 1986 smash. Working title: "Lady in Dreds". I'm down to shoot the video. Concept: Nathalie Thompson, tiny bikini, dreds all over the place and much much oil. Altogether now! Lady in dreeeeeds, Is flexing for me...
7 BELLE BACK ON THE FLOOR
We warned you back in May that Isabelle Turell's return to competition was imminent, and here she is. And if Belle's back on stage, it can only mean that sexy flexy down and dirty lat spread and double biceps combo. Seriously, a woman who can pull off a move like this, well, she doesn't really need to try any harder, does she? Look at the muscles in her inner thigh as she goes down... Health warning swoonage!
6 BEEF!
Not Beef from Vic & Bob, silly! Prime female muscle beef. And in the Bodybuilding classes there was lots and lots and lots of it. Our selection today includes Danish, Argentinian, American and Spanish varieties, courtesy of Irene Andersen (looking good, by the way, being a film star obviously agrees with her), Open runner-up and Masters' champ Maria Rita Bello, Angela Rayburn (a very nice bit of rump there I think you will agree), and ol' beefy lips herself, Virginia Sanchez Macias.
5 BUMS!
With many of the WPD ladies opting for the more-revealing style posing suit (one or two wouldn't have looked out of place at a NABBA show), those "trained to within an inch of their lives" glootz were being displayed as is right and proper. Top left to bottom - yes, I said bottom - right: Laura Foster, Andrea Holliday, Miava Nelson, and Jen Louwagie. No wonder the WPD puts so many bums on seats.
4 TRACY HESS
*SWOON*
3 WHY NO LOVE FOR MARGIE?
Last year she could do no wrong, this year she's not even getting into the top 6. What's going on? Why all of a sudden are the judges so impervious to Margie's obvious charms? Is it that they are marking her down for having far too good a time on that stage? Is she losing points as their dry-cleaning bills rise? We have a right to know!
2 ASHA & ME
Well, she still doesn't know it, but we've still got a thing, me and Asha, Asha and me. And while - as with Margie - the judges don't show Asha much love, as long as she keeps postin' herself getting all beast in the gym on her Instagram and as long as she keeps flexin' those abs on stage, that thing of ours is just going to keep on keepin' on.
1 NEUMAN!
The winner, and on the evidence here a winner who might be able to make the "unbeatable" Malacarne sweat a little in Las Vegas, Kira Neuman had me sold as soon as she turned around and faced the back of the stage. Sadly, our old friend C. Moore Glootz is unavailable for comment at this time, but I'm sure, wherever they've transferred him to now, that he's got his protractor out and is measuring every angle on that beautiful bottom in an effort to mathematically prove its perfection. He's like a modern-day Da Vinci in that way. Beauty through applied mathematics.
Or something.

Hot and Hard
First up, I'd like to thank all you lovely readers for continuing to support and visit the blog while we were away. It's extremely gratifying (though perhaps ever so slightly worrying) that FMS has continued to receive so many visitors from all over the world while posting absolutely nothing new at all. THANK YOU!
Obviously we wanted to return and wow you, to come back with a bang as it were. But the problem with being on a break for so long is that as time passes it becomes harder and harder to begin again! After much discussion, the always popular Hot and Hard theme was decided upon, which just left us to make a selection from the many many wonderful images in the FMS "Hot and Hard" folder...
Being as she is very very hot and (in the picture below left for example) unbelievably hard, Jacklyn Abrams certainly had her champions around the FMS editorial table. Readers may recognise "Jack the Ripped" - the name she goes by on her website, Instagram and Facebook - from this year's Ms O, where she came in 12th in the Physique division (looking, yes, you guessed it) both very hot and very hard.
Some felt that these days "Hot and Hard" was best defined by Crossfitters doing what they do - as in the stunning demonstration of balance, flexibility and controlled muscle power seen here (above right). Others associated the phrase not with an activity, but a country - Brazil. And to represent, Raira França (below) working on her Brazilian body in her (very Brazilian) gym wear received more than a few votes from the team.
For more of this beauty from Bahia, visit her Facebook page.
The so-called "universal" two-fingered salute is not quite as "universal" as some might imagine. Certainly the more upright style of the unknown muscle babe above means something quite different here in the British Isles, although the horizontal version demonstrated by Madrid's Patricia Alamo (below left) might just about be acceptable. Still, the (surely) unintentional invitation to British readers to f*** off doesn't detract from either the heat or hardness on show here. Mouth-watering abs on the lovely lady above, and the things we'd like to do with (or on) Patricia's thighs...
And speaking of things we'd like to do, Katelyn "Smash" Aseltine (above right), a powerlifter, artist, writer, kinesiologist, tattoo designer and undeniable purveyor of hot hot muscle heat. I'm almost ashamed to say what those little white panties are making me dream of, but it would most certainly involve my teeth and would ultimately necessitate buying her a pack of identical ones as replacements.
Get your own filthy fantasies at Katelyn's Instagram or Facebook - just be sure to keep them to yourself though! And when you've had your fill of that kind of entertainment, you might like to sober up and read an interview with her at Cut And Jacked.
Meanwhile, back at the ever stickier FMS round table [easy! - ed.], the discussion turned towards heat, hardness and attitude. As with Katelyn, Italian muscle maiden Antonella Lella Val (above, all power and pride) brings big time double-barrelled heat. And no, it isn't a morph - unless ALL the pictures on her Instagram are!
But the round table felt that size isn't everything and that (above) Brazilian (again!) physique star Isadora Castro's attitude would, perhaps, make her just as (if not more) hot than the considerably bigger Antonella. And, of course, she is Brazilian.
But it doesn't always take a big hard flex to melt the screen. Some uber muscle babes need only their thumbs and a six-pack that could make you go blind. See (MAJOR Swell crush) Sheronica Henton (above). The hot hard heat seems effortless (in terms of what she's doing for the camera, I'm not suggesting for a moment a Vesuvial body like Sheronica's is effortless). Some women, as we all know, just have "it". And then there are other women, e.g. the sizzling Sheronica, who have "it" in spades.
So, our reporter asked Megan Olson (above), what does a smoking hot figure pro like yourself do when you get home after a good hard workout?
Well, she replied, I like to put on the second tiniest bikini I have and just look at myself in the mirror, admire the muscle, the veins on my abs, that kind of thing. And then I take a selfie or two and upload it to my Instagram so others can admire me too, you know, the results of all my hard work, the veins on my abs and so on.
I'm sorry, said our reporter, you did say the second tiniest bikini you have. I mean, what about your tiniest bikini? When do you get that one out?
Well obviously I'd much rather be showing off in that one, of course I would. But the thing is, she smiled, it's so damn tiny I can't usually find it...
FMS fave Maria Kuzmina (below left) made a late entry to the discussion with her new Facebook profile pic. A former two-time NABBA Ms Universe, Maria spent 2013 trying unsuccessfully to win her IFBB pro card as a Physique competitor. This year she has been losing muscle mass on purpose in order to compete in the Bodyfitness division, and finished in the top 3 at the recent Russian Championships. I thought I was already so tiny, she wrote, but no, I need to shrink further. Not the best news we've ever heard, but though the IFBB judges don't ever seem to be satisfied with Maria's package, we think she's (still) spot on for our "Hot and Hard" division.
And we finish off today with two women that everyone involved in the, er, selection process for this post agreed upon, two women that you could say almost define what we mean when we talk about "Hot and Hard". Above right, IFBB Physique pro Asha Hadley says I walk the line between beauty and beast. Now, this is not a line that FMS acknowledges because for me the whole beauty is in the beast, but if walking that imaginary line means Asha continues to refine a look like this, then it's all good.
And I can only imagine that two-time Brazilian (here we go again) champ and IFBB Figure pro Janaina Ferreira (below) has quite breathtaking mental powers, because her own motto is Mens sana in corpore sano (A strong body makes a strong mind). And maybe, after all the discussion, the stickiness... the attempt to find a definition of "Hot and Hard", what it is really about is not just the magnificent bodies, but what these hot hard bodies reveal about the strength of these amazing women's minds...
It's good to be back. Welcome to Hot and Hard Week!
Enjoy!
