Im a big fan of DLB. She has great personality, great vibe, GOAT life (if you follow her and Rob), etc...So I was wondering why she lost even though she showed up better than last year (better meaning more proportioned not bigger) and its because the IFBB wants everyone BIGGER and BETTER than last year. Do they not remember why they had to make a womens physique division in the 1st place?
Right now, Nicole Wilkins is bigger and more muscluar than DLB, a PHYSIQUE competitor. thats backwards. The judges need to start docking them for getting too big, and Nicole's voice has changed like she hit puberty since 2009. I hear her at the siminar after she won the Arnold, she sounded like a normal woman, then i watched her at the "meet the olympians" video and she sounded like stealth swimmer. wtf. meanwhile DLBs voice is still cute and squeaky.
conclusion the women of the IFBB are on a bad bad road. fuk this srssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sssrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrs /rant
DLB at 2014 Physique Olympia, took 2nd
Nicole Wilkins 1st place Figure Olympia 2014
Heres Nicole when she won 1st place at the Olympia in 2009...notice the difference.
Nicole 2008
Nicole 2013
Just to give you an idea, this is 3rd place at 2014 Figure Olympia
I think this will be about what the Figure Olympians will look like in 2024.

Damn she aged woefully. She was p cute couple years back.
Kinda sad but that's the game! Women being shredded to the bone is harsher than a guy being shredded, might be bro science but I've heard it has to do with their menstrual cycles. Although of course both are somewhat dangerous
And can someone aware me on the "differences" between figure and physique and bikini? Always forget...

Bikini is usually light on muscle and the least conditioned of the three, think of a great beach body for a woman. Figure has a little more muscle than figure and more conditioned but still very feminine (supposed to be IMO). Physique is pretty much a smaller more feminine female bodybuilder. IMO most of the physique girls this year were more feminine than figure...

In NPC I have seen some Bikini winners being drier and more muscular than the Figure winner of the same show. Funny I started a thread on this on the Female section this morning, because it bothers me too. Bikini is shifting toward what Figure used to be, Physique is becoming Bodybuilding, and Figure is shifting toward Physique. Basically it's going to be impossible for women to compete in any division without some male pattern baldness and a bulge in their pants.

can't wait for the new ridiculous term they use next year for stupid ass placings/gifted sandows
I got screwed out of a placing at my show b/c of unpaid dues. the head judge even said it out loud, 'if you come here a lot and i see improvement, you'll place a lot higher'Full Blown Baby

I like Nicoles physique now, but her face a few years ago.
Bob Chic has a olympia Q&A thread on MD and mentioned that Nicole is borderline WPD, and infact ALL the figure girls need to tone it down since they are too hard. It's like they don't even lift if they have definition at all.Workout Log

About Nicole, some of the changes can be attributed to age and lower body fat. She's definitely gained some muscle, but that comes with the territory. Take this image from 2004 for instance, when she was still an amateur. A decade can make a huge difference, especially when you make a career out of competing.

Very interesting regarding DLB refusing to sign with a big name Sponsor just prior to the O. The rest of the video from the beginning is also a good watch.

She did take 2nd, so that leads me to believe that robbing her of the title was strictly political.
-She refused to sell out to a major supp company moments before the show
-Nocole Wilkins and most of the other figure women showed up looking like Dorian Yates. Cant have your physique champion being dwarfed by your "feminine" figure gals, can we?...imnoting

Yeah, the point there is that she didn't sign a big deal with a big name sponsoring the O. Everything was said to be in place and she backed out just prior to the O. She and her manager/husband opted to go at it on their own. Then she loses the O while coming in great. It is a bit suspicious imo.
DLB does not strike me as someone who can be bought ... I give her a lot of credit for walking away from money... As a businessperson - she understands that this is her time in the limelight and she has momentum and why not put that wind behind her OWN company ... I personally don't think this was about a sum of money ... I think this was about being true to herself and understanding her own worth - Also showing that she TRULY believes in herself and other levels besides athletic... At first i really did not understand much about her and her husband. But as I have learned about them ... they remind me of my earlier business days with Nuclear Nutrition- and I find myself tipping my head nodding and cheering for them ... I truly admire what they do. They are bold and vibrant. And then you add her champion physique ... WOW !!! So ... again , I state -- I don't believe she asked for more money. Not everyone is about that -- My instinct is that DLB is not that way.Last edited by Canuck77; 09-23-2014 at 03:36 PM.
