Mindi looks different every time I see her and I don't mean the hair. Her body is never the same from one show to the next. I liked her physique better when she had more muscle (delt caps, legs, etc.) It seems that a lot of girls are going with what they think will place them higher than going with what looks best on them. She's a Mike Davies girl now too no?

Sandra Wickham is another good example. I like her better with some muscle. I think she does too. She reshaped herself this year and it didn't work either!!!

i dont know who her trainer is. and i agree she looks better with more mass on her.

one thing i have always noticed about Mindi, is that her biceps are way too disporportionate to her body. but that is something that is not a huge deal. agree with the delts. but, my thing is, from the front her lats simply are not wide enough. she has a wide waist, and with her lats looking small from the front, and the downsized shoulders, it makes the waist look even wider.

her legs do look smaller then in the past. its hard to tell from the front, but you can definatly tell from the side shots. her hammy's look way smaller then i have seen.

dont get me wrong, Bernie loves him some Mindi, no matter what. she is an awesome person. and is always in fantastic condition. i just pray that one of these days, she comes up with they "look" they are looking for.

Agreed Bernie. My hope is that she comes in with a package that SHE loves and is happy with and not just what she thinks the judges are looking for.

very true though. thats the bitch about it all. being happy with yourself, and your physique doesnt always jive with what the judges want.

my thing is, as long as mindi is happy with how she looks, or any competitor for that matter, they have done the right thing. its just a crap shoot as to wether or not it is what the judges are looking for.

ugh.......

Same with Alicia St. Germain ... she has black hair now. I missed her in the lineup on Friday morning because I was looking for a blonde! :o
