Does anyone know what caused her sudden, abrupt and full departure from the world of female muscle? Just a few short months ago, she was 21 years old and on her way to awesome muscularity. He Insta**** feed was focused on intense workouts and muscle "gainz". Flash forward to October 2015, and she has shed most of the muscle in just a few short months. On her Insta comments, she mentions there is no chance she's going to go back to bodybuilding and doesn't even want abs in the future...just a toned bod.
Was it bullying, side effects, growing tired of working out, creep factor, a combo of all of the above, or something totally different?
Anyone have any insight? It's a pity she gave up...
-
I'm pretty sure Joe Weider forced her to quit.

See comments in 'why r=female bodybuilding is dying', but essentially she sees no future in the sport - NO top/national level FBB contests in the UK now, no chance in turning Pro, far less (and rapidly reducing) money available in the UK than elsewhere, plus she's barely in her 20s, likely without a well-paid job (and apparently no boyfriend) to go some way to financially supporting her training/competing, so what's the point?

I think you mean Jim Manion ;D

Maybe Joe appeared to her as the 'Ghost of Muscle Past'... :)

There's nothing that unusual about a person changing her mind about something.
I am surprised it happened so publicly, so quickly, but good luck to her.

This is somewhat an unfortunate trend with UK athletes, isn't it ? Would it be a structural problem within the UKBFF ? A shame, because the British fed appears more liberal in its approach towards rewarding "big" FBBs (See the link to the 1988 EFBB champs YT videos for example).
See also Michelle Jones, another great potential in the early noughties who called it quits at only 21.

Not exactly sure myself, though negative publicity in the UK media/general public generally (much more so than elsewhere in Europe and beyond) towards FBBs and fans doesn't help. The "you're gay (or worse) if you like women with big muscles" attitude is quite prevalent here and has been for a long time. Fit - fine, a bit of muscle (relatively speaking) - acceptable (just). Olympic heptathlete Jess Ennis-Hill is about the most muscular the average Brit will accept for a woman, and that's partly because she is an exceptionally beautiful woman as well. As such, FBBing contests (fitness/figure get more, a bit for WPD) get practically no sponsorship to fund them and the high cost of training/competing deters many given the lack of rewards (going pro [when it was possible] was expensive given 90% of the pro contests are in the US) and public profile. I also believe that the Police take more of an interest in those dealing in PEDs than in some other countries.
-
Yes, that is a satisfying explanation for this phenomenon. Speaking of Athletics, you may remind late Olympian champion-turned bodybuilding champion Donna Hartley-Wass who suprised many when she decided to have her sights towards competitive BBing in NABBA, and rather successfully. I remember a old British running thread on her (This was before her tragic death) where some - not all - were taking the vitriolic road to express their disgust at her muscular physique. Definitively left a bad taste.
-
Guess the price to be paid to develop and maintain a body like her's was to much for her.
-
She's gone for Brazilian wellness look. She still wants huge legs just wants to lose arm size. I'm suspecting she had ambitions for huge arms, but
had hard time getting it.

I'm sure you're right because you've never met her and know nothing about her.

I'm suspecting. Thanks for the sarcasm,BTW.

Still missing her and wishing she'll wake up and realize she misses her attitude and wanting to just.get.big. She could've gone down as one of the best: looks, attitude and crazy muscle.

She downsized a lot. If she's happy the way she is now, I don't think she'll ever get back.
-
she said she ws retiring from competition.
-
Such potential for growth, hate to see that being wasted. But it's her life... I suppose she could always change her mind seeing how young she is. (fingers crossed) No matter what though I wish her all the best in whatever she decides to do.
For me though, that's a major bummer.
-
I think peer pressure got to her.
-
Prepping for shows is brutal. A lot of women today lift but don't compete, or only compete a few times and then stop, but don't stop lifting. Even Cory, Rachel and Lenda still lift. Lenda is still big. Hopefully Georgina doesn't stop lifting.
-
Heard it was that she went on holiday with her boyfriend who is older and she had enough of people staring as she is quite tall and was much bigger than the guy, even though he works out, she was freakingly huge at a young age.
Who dumbell rows with 60kg??
I heard she was at the airport catching a flight and because she was so muscular the TSA thought she might be a superhero type mutant so they selected her to be be scanned in the full-body scanner but she was so huge she couldn't fit inside the scanner box. Needless to say she was humiliated and she hasn't touched a weight since.

I must admit that kevin1's bits of sarcasm never fail to make me laugh out (very) loud :D

Who told you this?
I'm presuming the middle comment by kein1 was meant as a joke (especially as the TSA is an American government agency and the British equivalent, who frankly wouldn't care); the former story I had come across before - I think someone posted it someone on the forum following one of Georgina's final post in her IG account as a FBB/WPD competitor, just after/during her holiday with her BF. A real shame if it came to that, as she was just beginning to mature as a woman, gaining both curves and beauty (some of her final photos with muscle were stunning) just as she was starting to gain experience as a bodybuilder and probably paying off in her look. If she feels happier as she is now, then good for her - it should never be about what pleases us fans - we should at least be grateful for what pleasure she gave us during her short career in the sport. I hope she comes back, but I doubt it, given she lives in the UK - it might've been a different story if she'd been living in the US, Canada or certain parts of the rest of Europe where female bodybuilders are at least (politely) tolerated by most people.
Yeah someone posted it before on here, but she mentioned it in her facebook account.

Andrulla Blanchette used to warm up with 60kg. Her wings were like a shield of steel!

Difference is she was 19 at the time, no guy in my gym no matter what the age is, gets past 50 and she did 60 effortlessly
-
I tried to follow her on IG but was finally blocked although it wasn't clear how come.
You mentioned her final pictures. Got direct links to it or could share it?
She basically got a boyfriend (who wasn't a bodybuilder etc) and wanted a more normal life out of the limelight, so took the IG account private for friends only, after stopping BBing.
-
Sooooooooo,...here we are once again where the fans&the muscle industry lose an up-N-coming legend because she gets a dude who doesn't like the attention/muscle look
Heather Tristany,Dallas Malloy,Sophie Duquette,Sarah Dunlap&the list goes on where shedding mass is key to happiness OR something..
WTFH,man??!!
Didn't any of these guys actually see their gfs before they started a romance with them??
Plenty of guys on this forum would kill at chance to date Georgina as she was
-
Did anybody actually ask her as to why she quit?
I don't think she was particularly 'chatty' generally with fans (especially as the vast majority are significantly older than her, and she may have thought it was a bit 'creepy') - I'm sure a few did, but the only way to do so was to contact her via her IG account, and most owners don't reply to people they don't personally know.
-
I think part of it was that she didn't appreciate the sometimes very negative (and quite hurtful) comments of some 'people' (not fans), though it wouldn't surprise me that she didn't like some of the more (graphic) sexual-laden 'locker-room talk' (quite a talking point in political circles of late across The Pond if I recall) of some fans, including some members her as well as on other fan sites. You may also be right about her realising what the side effects of using PEDs might lead to, however a couple of aspects that isn't covered are that:
a) the UK local BBing federation dropped ALL FBB contests at amateur level, and is now starting to look at (I think) doing the same for WPD due to former FBBs competing and the competitor sizes, like in the US, getting bigger/more muscular. Georgina earlier on her brief career stated she wanted to be a FBB, but had to eventually settle for WPD when she improved because there wasn't any FBB contests to enter in the UK, and being very young, she didn't have any finance behind her to travel abroad to compete.
b) Her very young age (getting to the top echelons of the UK amateur ranks at 20-21) as a decent quality bodybuilder appeared to (from what I read, including on her IG account before she took it private) take up so much of her spare time that she didn't enjoy her teenage years anywhere near as much as most young people. As she matured around 20-21 (you can see from the photos she changed from an average-looking very fit girl into a REALLY beautiful woman, and I think with the other factors, she just wanted to enjoy a more 'normal' life, including having relationships (including close friendships outside of their sport), which for a dedicated FBB (or any serious athlete) at a young age with little money and free time is both difficult and possibly demoralising (especially when they see people they know enjoying life at their age whilst they suffer for a sport that gives precious little back and has almost no recognition).
I personally wasn't surprised at her decision - I would have loved for her to continue, to develop into an amazingly big, immensely beautiful FBB who slayed all-comers at the top pro FBB contests, but that is just a fantasy that I knew wouldn't ever come to pass, especially when she blossomed as a woman and the FBB contests in the UK (and elsewhere) began to dry up. You never know, in a few years time, with a bit a life and £££ under her belt, she may choose to make a comeback - its not as though she'd be too old. I somehow doubt it though. I wish her all the best at whatever she does with her life after BBing.
For those of you who think I was missing the point
Should have just asked for clarification
&
I would have almost expressed the same arguement UK Fan wrote out for you
1) we All know support system,i.e;LOVE/Money is needed
2) ALSO not living a normal life is BullShit since we see evidence from other FBBers doing it everyday on FACEBook/Twitter/IG/etc
Plus I gave other examples where the scenario goes down as Bf/Hubby comes along& {insert name} here retires from the sport
Do I have concrete facts,..no BUT my speculation is more grounded than most is NOW My Point
-
Forgive my ignorance, but what does "chase a brass ring" mean?
I believe it means to try and succeed in something that you face a lot of competition to do so.
Compared to many other countries where FBBing is at least tollerated by the local BB federation, the UK is very backward indeed. Lots of fit ladies around, just those 'in charge' want them to only compete in bikini or figure shows (even WPD isn't doing so well over here now, which is what Georgina had to 'settle for' due to the lack of national FBB contests), as well as the poor attitude to women competitors by large swathes of the British public and media.
I mean, what's the point in all that (expensive, much more so than in the US where food and [probably] PEDs are far cheaper/easier to get hold of (without taking a large risk in having your proverbial collar felt by the Old Bill) and decent gyms/trainers are more readily available. Georgina was very young when she started and began to improve, but didn't have a decent career yet to pay for all the training etc and normal costs - I'd bet she was still living with her parents and just using her local gym to save on costs. All that sacrifice, no money left over for ordinary stuff/enjoying her 20s, and for what? A trophy for a category she probably didn't really want to be in and little chance of being able to make a move abroad to find a better environment for training to achieve something significant.
I personally wasn't surprised in the least at her decision to stop (or at least put her BBing ambitions on hold for a good while).
-
I've got news for you folks. Georgina doesn't have to justify her decision to us. It is her life.
-
Damn it!
I thought there might be new pics.
Not gonna happen. She's absent from social media.

Georgina shouldn't have quit the bodybuilding scene. When she was big and huge, she was the best looking female bodybuilder around. She had a great future ahead of her in the sport.

At the last stage of her bodybuilding career, she developed her legs more and didn't focus on arms that much. Since then, she's opted for brazilian look.

Why not? Very few BBing shows to enter in the UK (if any above local amateur shows) as the UKFBB (equivalent of the local IFBB) dropping FBBing from their contests a few years ago and women like Georgina had to settle for Physique, which itself is on a downward trend over here too. She (at the time) was in her very early 20s with no funding, so how exactly was she supposed to fund her training and dietary/supplements with no path to become a pro (its not as though being one is a living). She was also likely missing much of here years as a young adult having fun (and bfs) by all the training etc. Things might've been different had she lived in the US, maybe Cananda or some parts of continental Europe, but not the UK. Very few UK-based quality athletes coming through to the pros lately, and those that do (Rene Cambell being one) don't stay for long.

Dont think bodybuilding stopped her having boyfriends, money may have, she was disciplined you can still have fun but yes you cant go wild.
The truth of the matter it was an incident with her and her then boyfriend being seen together, so I assume she was much bigger than the guy and the guy could not handle the stares and she realised she would have this issue for the rest of her life.
How do you know this?

Not necessarily or wholy - she had often faced haters who made very unpleasant remarks towards her for a long time before she got a bf, which she mentioned on her IG page (before she stopped BBing and took the page private), YouTube video and in the UK media. Unlike in the US and many other countries where muscular women are at least tollerated by most people, in the UK there is a lot of vile abuse directed toward them, even those who are undeniably beautiful (and would easily pass in the street [covered up] as such). I suspect that, together with the lack of any sort of career in the type of competition she (likely) wanted (bodybuilding), she decide to call it quits, at least for the moment.
Bear in mind that the training, rest and sleeping patterns aren't exactly condicive to a normal life, especially if she wanted a 'normal' job and social life as well (i.e. not working in the gym and being able to go out in the late evening/eat what you want). I suspect that the cost (financially) of being a bodybuilder in the UK is also much higher than in the US, where gym fees, food and suppliments are almost certainly a lot cheaper, in addition to general day-to-day costs. She was, what, 21-22, probably earning well under £20k p.a. - how is that going to pay for all those costs just when she is thinking about moving out and starting out on her own or with a bf if she has all the (large) costs associated with BBing?
To me personally since I'm married and such. The bodybuilding lifestyle is perfect for me and my wife cause we both have careers that we do. No offence to Georgina but she didn't much have going for her except bodybuilding. Bodybuilding is strictly a money driven lifestyle. You need the money to buy supplements that bodybuilding offers. It's a unique lifestyle choice. Plus on the count of rest for the body, peace of mind, relationships wade heavily on a bodybuilder. Georgina with all due respect should've move to America. She definitely would have a great time bodybuilding in America. America is much more accepting to bodybuilders. No haters here folks. Just acceptance.
Did you really just say acceptance and America in the same sentence? :laugh:
Yes I did cause it's true.
-
I don't think people realize, or maybe don't want to admit how detrimental being an FBB is to their health. It's more surprising when women deal with the health issues and risks over a long period of time than it is to see someone young give it up.

Move to the US? Don't you need certain skills needed over there and a job to go to? Georgina is very young, and is unlikely to have those necessary skills (I don't think she has a degree or suchlike) or any job offer - as I said, I sounded like she liked training and the look, but not working in BBing (i.e. being a trainer) 24/7. Its not like decades ago where people just 'wnet' to the US to look for work - I also suspect that Georgina had very little funds to help her (again, see my comments about the higher costs in the UK), which would not help her in such a move either. It wouldn't be a good move at that stage in her life - pehaps 10-15 years later maybe, when she had more experience in life/jobs and money behind her.
Whilst its often the case that FBBs get into relationships with MBBs (or at least men who train/are involved in the industry), over in the UK there are far less bodybuilders (men and women) than in the US, so the likelihood of her going out with a MBB was lower, and its also noticeable that more muscular women in Europe shy away from relationships with MBBs, more often going with ordinary blokes than in the US. As such, the pull away from BBing is far stronger in the UK, especially when the much higher level of haters over here. Even as a fan I find it very difficult - most guys who are fans of FBB keep it to themselves, as they (as well as FBBs) are often accused of being gay by (sadly large numbers of) uninformed idiots. Georgina had to put up with a LOT of that, which, for a teenager to woman in her early 20s was probably very significant.
-
Sorry for being 'captain Obvious' but I wonder was I, because some people clearly don't get that these women don't owe us anything. All the arguments for her early retirement have been made, lack of prize money, insecurity from her boyfriend, long term health effects, constantly dealing with internet trolls. Hardly a big shock that she retired in that context. Many choose to for the same reasons. I am actually more surprised with the ones who stay long term. At the end of the day, we will find someone else to wank to, but Georgina only has one life. I say more power to her and wish her well.
THIS STATEMENT!!!! :bravo:

Did you really just say acceptance and America in the same sentence? :laugh:
Yes I did cause it's true.
If you left it at "America is more accepting", then that is one thing (although I haven't heard any measurable evidence concerning the acceptance of fbbs in one country over another); but to add "No haters here folks. Just Acceptance" is insane. I was initially reacting to the acceptance part in regards to various types of people but when you relate it to fbbs, that is still not the case. We have the most dominant female athlete to ever live in Serena Williams, who carries about half the size of any fbb and we have to read she is too masculine by all these articles and tons of jerks cosigning the article in the comment section. We have former first lady Michelle Obama who in shape, without the bulky muscle and all these A-holes around the country talking about she looks like a man. Finally, with all due respect, you don't know what she has going on in her life, maybe she has so much going on she decide to leave bodybuilding.

You "America is more accepting... No haters here folks. Just Acceptance" folks make this American laugh. If remember right female bodybuilder, Teagan Clive was arrested at one time for using a public restroom because she had big muscles, no large tits, and shorter hair than David Lee Roth. America is far from accepting, with a greater amount of haters than Europe has got. I'll get off my 1st Amendment soapbox now so "real" WASP Americans can rant and rave, and we can back to semi-normal on this website. ;)

I think she is 5'9

She lost all muscle and became a dental assistant. Guess the guy with the boyfriend theory was right.
Look for insta****.com/georgiimac and search for Georgina Mac on facebook. Judging by what she does now and how she looks like, we won't see a comeback. This one is gone for good.

Yep. Georgina is long gone from the FBB scene. She does looks great now than as a FBB. It seems that the sport was ruining her social life. She got rid of the muscle to become a girly girl once again.

Sad to see someone that had a great future be pushed out by naysayers

she was far advanced for the UK , very young, ridiculously big and muscular. a holiday with her boyfriend, the taunts of her size and being bigger than him put her off the sport

This is just my opinion but it is rare to find a woman who starts doing bodybuilding in their teens and is still hard core into their late 20s unless they do really well
Sarah Dunlap, Tina Lockwood, Hayley McNeff and others all started young and (as far as I know) had stopped competing before they were much past their mid 20s

To be fair, I believe that it does take a lot of work and resources to maintain that. I've met Denise Masino before and had a nice conversation with her and she looks amazing despite being like what, 50? She told me she has been training for ~ 30 years. So unless a person has the resources to maintain that, I think that's another reason why a lot of females drop out after like 5-10 years.
