A little while back FMS asked you lovely readers what your "all-time favourite" routines were, and last month we brought you a week of those choices as well as some of our own selections. As noted at the time, it being summer and all, not every reader managed to get their choices to us in time to make the posts, so we promised we'd be revisiting the theme again in the future, and today that's what we're doing.
All selections (and text) are courtesy of Ozzy of Ozzy's Female Muscle fame. Not all of his choices are actual routines, but given the time and effort it must have taken him to put this all together, we've included all of his choices. I think you'll agree it all amounts to quite a fantasy show, and your seat has the best view in the house. Pace yourself!
Ozzy says: When I saw your question about what would be our best routines, I understood that as "What are the routines which I jerked off to the most?" Hard to choose, because I've unloaded a lot of cum watching a lot of competitions!
But these are mine, in no particular order.
COMPULSORIES
SHANNON COURTNEY
2013 NPC USA Championships
Unfortunately for us, there are not a lot of videos of Shannon on stage, so the few I have are like precious diamonds! In this one, as always, Shannon just exudes sex. The way she shows her ass is just totally insane!!! She knows perfectly well that at this moment every man in the room is going crazy watching those two huge pieces of hard meat! Hands just have to be in pockets... I hope they had a few tissues!
BRIGITA BREZOVAC
2011 IFBB Toronto Pro
We all know that Brigita is a cum factory. Her body, swollen with muscles, is a true hymn to masturbation. But when I first saw this routine, I couldn't believe what was in front of my dick! She's SO huge that her bra explodes!!! Boy, it was too much for me, almost like a dream come true... I had to change my pants immediately, and I still think it's one of the most exciting things I have seen on a stage.
ROUTINES
CHRISTINE ENVALL
2001 IFBB Championships (?)
It's just impossible to not have an insane hard-on watching Christine on stage, flexing her huge manly muscles. She just knows that she's a sex object, and she enjoys that! Her most muscular pose is probably the best in all the FBB world. I truly cannot count the times I jerked off watching her meaty pecs.
MARJA LEHTONEN
2001 Jan Tana Pro Classic
I couldn't do a list without putting Marja on it, but it's so hard to choose just one routine of hers! I mean, I've watched all of them, I know all of them, and I jerked off every time I saw a new one. But I finally decided to choose the first one I ever saw, the 2001 Jan Tana, because it was such an unbelievable shock to see this female for the first time. Again, I cannot count the times I've jerked off to this routines since 2001, I know it every detail of her moves, her expressions, and release anytime she flexes her insanely huge biceps!
ANDRULLA BLANCHETTE
1997 Ms Olympia
This was the very first video with muscular women I bought, and I guess you can imagine how many times I watched it! Hard to choose between all those sexy freaks who participated in this competition, because there were a lot of huge and sexy ladies: Kim Chizevsky, Nancy Lewis, Sue Myers... But almost every time it was Andrulla who won. I just know her routines perfectly, her moves to the music, her expressions, even after all these years, releasing after she's on the floor, shaking her huuuge quads, and she hits a double bideps pose... Cum!!!
CINDY PHILLIPS
2006 CBBF Canadian Championships
I remember perfectly the first time I saw this video. I immediately thought: "Wow, that's the most erotic thing I've ever seen!" and, of course, just after, I jerked off like a madman. Cindy has always be one of my faves, and in this routine, I think she's at her best. I dreamed of her so much... I was truly obsessed by her!
GINA DAVIS
2004 NPC Nationals
Another great routine, so much better than any porn, the huuuge and sexy Gina on stage! Her smile, her attitude, her body... All of it just gives me an insane boner! The way she moves, slow and cocky, I guess she can hear the sound of the loads in the room, the moans of pleasure of the lucky bastards who were there at the time! Lucky bastards who will always be able to say "Yes, I was there, and I jerked off!"
I could, Ozzy adds, go on for hours and add Denise Rutkowski, Heather Armbrusst, Yaxeni Oriquen... but I think we are all grateful for his selections as they are, and maybe a little thankful that he didn't go on.
I, for one, need to get some fluids on board.
If you haven't sent your own selections in yet, please don't think you're too late, send them in (with or without text) to the usual email address: 6ft1swell@gmail.com
Thanks to Ozzy for a great show with a great commentary!

FMS Hearts the 2016 IFBB Tampa Pro
The last show with a Female Bodybuilding category before the Rising Phoenix took place in Tampa at the beginning of the month. And, as always, a very big show it was too, with the largest FBB field of the year so far, plus 29 Physique and 25 Figure contestants to drool over. Almost makes you wish you'd been there, doesn't it?
Sadly, FMS was nowhere near, but thanks to some excellent reporting from fans who did attend, and the lenses of Mr Rivieccio (for FTVideo) and Dan Ray (for NPC News Online), we can have a little taste of the action nonetheless.
Enough anyway to make us feel we're qualified to "review" the show, or rather pick a top ten (in no particular order) of reasons to love the 2016 IFBB Tampa Pro.
Enjoy!
1. A FIELD OF 13!!!
The first show of the year with a Female Bodybuilding field that made double digits meant there was more meat in Tampa than anywhere else this year bar the Rising Phoenix (one would hope). Anne Sheehan made her pro debut, as big and beefy as any of the women with the exception of the truly frightening Tischa Thomas. Star of the silver screen Irene Andersen was at her biggest yet - too big for this show! - and all the fans who were left scratching their heads and asking "Who is this Sarah Saluzzi?" when the competitor lists went online got their answer. Kind of.

LaDawn McDay added some serious sex appeal to proceedings, while it was business as usual for Virginia Sanchez (see below). Serial competitor Judy Gaillard muscled up to her second show of the year and her ninth since 2014, but it was welcome back to an old favourite of mine, 2007 NPC Nationals Heavyweight champ Beverly DiRenzo, who appeared on stage for the first time since 2013.
Posedown of the Year (so far)
2. BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR VIRGINIA
Careful, says one of her many many fans on her thrill a minute Instagram, those arms might explode! If they did, they wouldn't be the only explosions Virginia has caused, but she has yet to convince the IFBB judges she is among the cream of the sport.
By "business as usual" I mean that pre and post show, Virginia was utterly breathtaking, easily as impressive as any of the women in the show. And yet, once again, on stage she was underwhelming, and 6th. I'm telling you, the day she goes on that stage without the syrup, will be the day she cracks the top 3. In my head anyway!
3. GLORIAOUS GLORIA
She's just a year older than Juliana Malacarne, whose career was much less impressive than Gloria's before it all went boom a few years ago. I certainly wouldn't bet against Gloria's career doing something similar in the very near future.
"FMS Hearts the WPD Olympians: Gloria" (7/12/15)
Is this the moment when Gloria went boom? She's almost 6' tall with a body of a goddess, noted one fan after the show - I have no idea how tall Gloria is, but he's spot on with the rest of his comment, every inch of her statuesque frame honed to perfection. Did she make a big deal of her win on her social media? Nah, not Gloria. She did a shoot or two, but mainly she just got on with it. It's what she does.

Sassy and classy, just like her posing consultancy.
4. THE BEST OF BRITISH
In her bright pink posing suit, the improvements that being trained by Alina Popa clearly visible (her legs, for example, have never looked so good), her excitement just as clearly visible as well, the best British female bodybuilder around today - sorry Rene fans, but it's a fact - did us Brits as proud as any medal-winning Olympian.
Two years ago I competed in this show and came a miserable last, says Lisa. My huge turnaround in performance over the last 2 years can undoubtedly be put down to Alina. Can you feel the LOVE? Tampa has been a blast, she adds. I look forward to doing it all again in 5 weeks at the Wings of Strength Rising Phoenix World Championships where I will realise another dream - to stand on the same stage as the physique that inspired me to become a female bodybuilder back in 2007...

Guess who? Alina, Britain owes you!
5. I DON'T FOLLOW FIGURE BUT...
I note that Natalia Coelho's feathers haven't got any less... er, feathery.
6. 4'11" OF PRIME BRAZILIAN BEEF
Following in the thunderous footsteps of her compatriots Anne Freitas and Simone Oliveira, this was, I believe, Selma's first US show. She looked like she was going to be exciting in the build-up to the show, even if we only got a peek at her, and on stage, resplendent with her deep, dark, NABBA-style tan, she was good enough, in the opinion of many, to have been higher than the 4th place she was awarded.
My Portuguese isn't good enough to know exactly how Selma was feeling after the show, feelings she shares in this clip, but she seems pretty happy to me.

The best quads of all, reckoned David Baye in his play-by-play report, others thought she had the best overall muscle package in the first callout. So while she may not have had the kind of sensational debut Anne or Simone enjoyed, it's fair to say I won't be the only one feeling the excitement the next time Selma gets that deep, dark tan on.
7. THE WORLD'S SEXIEST FIRE FIGHTER
"Rescue me! And take me in your arms..."
Erica had already finished 3rd in Dallas and 2nd in San Jose before arriving in Tampa, and her 5th place here puts her a tantalising tied 5th in the Olympia qualification table, but Erica broke the news last week that she is actually officially qualified for the Olympia now. I received my Olympia invite yesterday, she told her 23,000+ Instagram followers, and I am definitely GOING! After Tampa I had a feeling that I wouldn't be... she confessed. Glad I was wrong. Oh so am I, Erica. So am I.

But this isn't supposed to be about placings or qualifications, this is about how stunning Erica is, and it's about me (and many of those IG followers) getting the usual right royal swoon on for one of the most beautiful women (ever) in the sport. And just a few days after she'd stepped off stage looking leaner and sexier than she's ever been... Erica was back in uniform and joining a "strike team heading out to the mineral fire in Fresno".

A walking talking flexing fire-fighting drop dead gorgeous superwoman!
8. DIANA SCHNAIDT (FINALLY) FLEXES THOSE MUSCLES IN ANGER
We've been saying for some time that Diana's amazing muscles were too good for the Figure division, and at long last she has listened. Well, perhaps not to us, but anyway, up to the WPD she has moved, even if it was last minute. I learned those 5 mandatory poses about a week ago, she said afterwards, the decision was made quick.
Being in the Physique division also meant she got to do a routine for the first time as well. Again, it was all a bit last minute, but despite practising her moves just the once, I reckon she nailed it - you can judge for yourself here, and watch her run through here.

I loved and enjoyed every minute and every second of WPD this weekend and I felt very comfortable on the stage, was the good news she shared afterwards. My season of GAINZ has officially begun right here right now. I am looking forward to next year on stage, and will definitely be practising my posing during the off season as well!
Fans of calves in particular will need to make sure they are sitting comfortably before they check out Diana entering her off-season with some freaky vascular leg posing. It's almost criminal how her muscles were so underemployed for so long, but how exciting is it to know she'll be back next year bigger and better and flexing all the way?!
9. JANEEN LANKOWSKI
Female muscle lovin' heaven might be a little bit like this. You're at the bottom of a stairway, and down that stairway comes a procession of female bodybuilders. In heaven, it would never end. In Tampa, the last woman to come swaggering down - and she really does swagger - is FMS fave and Canadian goddess Janeen Lankowski.
In our recent tribute to Janeen, we reported how one fan who'd attended a previous Tampa Pro admitted they had "got high" while ogling her "V-shaped back, bulging glutes and monster calves", and clearly the fan who recorded the above clip is similarly overcome, letting out a high-pitched squeal "Ja-neeeeen!" as she approaches. It's not hard to imagine she induced similarly strong emotions and/or physical responses in the majority of fans at the show. And it's not hard to imagine fans the world over, unable to attend but glued to their screens as they lap up images of Janeen on stage, saying to themselves (in myriad languages) "now that's what an FBB looks like".
And for once we are not wrong! Earlier in the year Janeen was, technically if not actually, a Physique competitor, competing at the New York Pro in that division, as she had done throughout 2015. This was her first appearance in Female Bodybuilding since Tampa in 2014. Her 8th place here was easily her best since the same show way back in 2012, when she was 3rd behind Sarah Hayes and Sheila Bleck.

I think I can safely say we're all glad she's brought that back, those glutes and those calves (and, in my opinion her best bit, that chest) back to the division they all belong in. I'd love to have the experience of seeing her swagger by in the flesh, but to be honest I've got pretty damn worked up just looking at images of her from the show!
Check out her Instagram for some super exciting little clips of Janeen "getting the blood in" those muscles before Tampa, and a handful of pics from in and around the show that'll make you wish (among other things) that you were her chiropractor!
10. A PROPER CONTEST
The 4th place Brazilian beef of Selma Labat, runner-up and Britain's finest Lisa Cross, eventual winner Sheila Bleck and 3rd place Rita Bello could all have taken home the title by the reckoning of "professional" and fanboy commentators alike, making the Tampa Pro easily the most competitive FBB contest of the year so far.
Rita was her usual flawlessly conditioned self, and her 3rd place is enough for her to qualify on points for the Rising Phoenix (along with Lisa, though Selma misses out, sadly). Some have criticised the judges for giving Sheila the nod over the slightly bigger Lisa (and/or Rita and/or Selma), but given her record in Tampa - she was 2nd in 2012, and won in 2014 - perhaps it was simply her pedigree that ultimately swayed it.

Whatever the reason, a result that's in the balance until it's announced is the most exciting type of result, and has got to be good for the sport. And anyway, a contest without a good judging controversy to debate isn't much of a contest, is it?
Sadly, FMS was nowhere near, but thanks to some excellent reporting from fans who did attend, and the lenses of Mr Rivieccio (for FTVideo) and Dan Ray (for NPC News Online), we can have a little taste of the action nonetheless.
