Clarification, a photo chosen by Tina that reflects the work she has done. She is competent in posing with muscular shots and one showing a 'show pose' would given justice to her efforts. I don't think the photo used reflects a bodybuilding pose, nor does this lift show her chiseled physique.

Okay, I can appreciate the fact that she's in great physical shape, but I have never been able to understand why a woman would want to be a body builder. It's not at all feminine, the way they end up looking is gross, I don't know any normal man who would want a woman who has pecs instead of boobs. Icky.

Good luck at the nationals Tina. Looking good Tina!
Tina Hawkins is doing a fine job of lifting her fatty tissue that lies over those solid pecks.
Normal man? Surely Tina is doing this for herself and long ago ignored the unresolved sexism issues carried by some.

It really angers me that people feel so free to call a strong woman “gross”. Maybe you should comment on pictures of overweight women and women you find too thin. You can go around and let women know if they are “icky” or if they have the prestigious award of being “doable”.

By chance, does (did) she work at BWW's?
