From prehistorical times, women were deemed as a group of weak and gentle people as compared to the dominant men. Men in general, were viewed to be stronger and mighty. Reating to this theory, which i think still exist in modern times, men wants to look more muscular and fit to improve their appearance. In addition, being "stronger" let them feel more dominant and confident. Thus, body building has became a popular trend even till now. However, body building is not exclusively for men. Women, although not many, has started to appreciate the art of body building. While many see it as disgusting and it does not match a woman's characteristics (Weak and gentle), the women body builders achieve high level of self satisfaction and were more than happy to build their body.

Whilst i personally do not find body building attractive (on either gender), i have not slightest doubt that some do find it a desirable attribute. Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. I believe it's more about women being able to achieve individual excellence than about appearance anyway. The amount of dedication it takes for a woman to achieve that sort of musculature is astonishing . As the dietary regime is especially strict as the exercise regime, i applaud the effort that it takes for a woman to reach that level of musculature. In addition, i am greatly taken aback that a figure who people view as "weak" has mountainous courage to build her body, which sure she know would invite countless discriminations and criticism.
