As well as the appearance that was achieved when body building, it was just not even thought of that women would be able to compete competitively.
Men and women are built totally differently, femake and male bodies react in different ways when exercising or any type of body building is involved. whether your a man or a woman body builder, the same thing is needed. An iron will, discipline and massive amounts of determination.However, a womens metabolism is totally different to that of a males and a females energy output is a lot lower than that of a male.

Some professional women body builders have encountered many problems whilst training to be a body builder. Problems such as hair loss, missing their monthly cycles on a regular basis and stretch marks. These are not untreatable conditions, so should not be a major cause for concern.
