Title: Favorite era for fbb ?
Post by: sa2009 on May 10, 2015, 04:11:43 am
 What is everyone's favorite time period for fbb ?    For me i think between 2001-2006 was a great time .  It may have not been like 90's with espn shows . But you had so many women come along in their primes during this period .  Yaxeni , Gina Davis , Jody May , Elena Seiple , Colette Nelson , Andrulla Blanchette , to name a few . Today their are really only 2 new main stars imo in female muscle , Shannon Courtney and Danielle Reardon .  But you had so many back in the day .

Has to be the late 80's to the mid-90's. There was a lot of love for female bodybuilding back then. :wob:

90's for sure. There were athletes much more charismatic, the routines were better and convincing, and the athletes had bodies muscularly more "explosive" more shapely and they had better female look. Bodybuilding today made several steps back and the IFBB  is doing very bad job about this category.

I would say my personal opinion of the GOLDEN years of Female Bodybuilding would be from 1988-2003.  1988 because that imo was right at the beginning of the ladies realizing their potential of achieving that next level of physique.  And I say 2003 because I think that was the time I started noticing when the "bolt-ons" were getting a little out of hand.

I mean how can any FBB fan not feel this way.  Look at the ladies:

Annie Rivieccio
Denise Hoshor
Paula Suzuki
Amelia Hernandez
Christine Envall(pre-boobjob)
Chris Bongiovanni
Kim Chizevsky
Leilani Dalumpines
Tina Lockwood
Tami Wooden
Zuzana Korinkova
Valerie Gangi
Yaxeni Oriquen(pre-boobjob)
Tonya Knight
Rosemary Jennings
Pavla Brantalova
Renee O'Neill
Nikki Fuller
Mary Lynne MacKenzie
Michele Ralabate
Ericca Kern
Heather Foster
Laura Bass
Nancy Lewis
Laura Creavalle
Nursel Gurler
Laura Binetti
Christa Bauch
Bev Francis
Hannie Van Aken
Gillian Hodge
Sharon Marvel
Tazzie Colomb(in her prime)
Andrulla Blanchette
Brenda Raganot
Lesa Lewis
Debbie Muggli
Michelle Andrea
Yvonne Vasquez
Marie Mahabir
Sharon Bruneau
Sandy Riddell
Denise Rutkowski
Shelley Beattie
Anja Schreiner

Can you imagine what it would have been like if these FBBs were in their prime today and if female bodybuilding was as popular now as it was back then.  Where a high-def pic or video is merely a one click away.  My Gawd, we'd all go broke from spending on fansites and sessions.  These FBBs would be rich.

Good point. Except for video games. We've come a long way since then in terms of video games :D

That's true, Video games and technology in general has improved over the years. But in my opinion, the 90's is the best decade to look back on. Most things were simple back then.

definitely mid-late 90s. I discovered FBB's through my first issue of muscular development mag with Renita harris on the  cover and a special piece on Monica Brant. Since then, I always appreciated how FBB's looked back then compared to today.
