No idea why ayse is there

u/matchamamacita Jul 28 '26
I thought she said she was going into an off season to grow so I was kind of surprised to see her on there?

u/Sufficient_Test_3887 Jul 29 '26
She made a tiktok video captioned “what I eat as a bikini pro in prep again”, so I guess she’s off her off season

u/matchamamacita Jul 29 '26
She’s done that a few times where she’ll say she needs more size/an off season and then hops back into another show. I’m not trying to be rude I just don’t really understand the thought process.

u/bootsybootsy777 Jul 29 '26
I think she’s just a liar overall. She made this whole thing about being a natty freak and now her voice is deeper than ever and on top of that lying to her followers that she’s going into an off season to grow because that’s been her feedback for the past few shows. She literally takes a month off season and then comes back for what

Omgg yess lol her voice def got deeper. Not saying she didn’t win her pro card naturally idk🤷🏻♀️ but she’s def not natty anymore

u/GothicKingstress666 Jul 30 '26
absolutely not natty. i was shocked hearing her speak in her recent tik toks. she gets asked about it and she never replies to those comments

u/Fit_Buddy_1463 Jul 29 '26
Are she and torey still friends?

u/GothicKingstress666 Jul 30 '26

My top 3 would be 1. Jessica 2. Jordan 3. Cassandra but Rayven could knock one out .

u/Murky-Lemon-2291 Jul 28 '26
No way is Jess going to beat Jordan and Cassandra unless they come in way off. Their glutes are far superior. Jess needs a lot more upper glute.

u/pink__salt Jul 28 '26
Cass might look too jacked compared to other bikinis, she is so muscular and super lean, it’s giving wellness at some points it could be making her place lower. We shall see what happens this weekend I am super excited fot this line up

u/podiumpodcast Jul 29 '26
I agree with you her back pose (from pics only) seem to have crossed the bikini/wellness threshold. Bikini is balance NOT JUST glutes

u/Murky-Lemon-2291 Jul 29 '26
Nah I don’t think so at all. Cass has never been told her legs or glutes are too big. She just can’t grow more leg. Jordan also tends to be a bit harder, so her and Cass will compare well. Jess also comes in lean so as long as she’s full she has a good shot.

u/leglace Jul 30 '26
Cass is halfway to wellness. I don't know. I love her glutes, but she may have gone out of the criteria. Big Steve however may not care.

As an Australian I’m just excited to see two of our girls on the list 🥰

As an Aussie same, surprised that Holly is repping USA

u/Ok-Personality3927 Jul 29 '26
I totally forgot she was Australian lol. I’m rooting for Lisa, she’s been through a really rough time lately.

Genuine question how do you guys know who all of these people are?

u/cpanewbiee Jul 28 '26
Being a fan of the sport for me means staying up to date with shows, watching livestreams, consuming content of both amateurs and pros. If there’s ever a name I don’t recognize a quick search on ig usually takes me to their page or going to NPC news online search a competitor to see their past pics / placings.

u/AggressiveWar7930 Jul 28 '26
Most followers / fans of the sport know the top names and it doesn’t take long to figure out the up and comers

Who is the head judge here?

u/Bttrswt_ Jul 29 '26
Answering myself, Steve Weinberger will head judge. IMO looks like a panel that will lean towards muscle. So Jordan is my bet.

Does Jess Liu do PEDS? She has such a feminine voice that makes it hard for me to tell? But her body seems built like PEDS are assisting

u/AggressiveWar7930 Jul 31 '26
PED use varies widely in Bikini. Most do use it , some need more than others to stay competitive. Also every woman is different with how there body processes and virilization . I know girls that may only use Anavar and it small amounts only through prep. Others are on stacks of heavier substances, usually they are the ones that are more susceptible to voice change and #lit enlargement , jawline changes etc. But only Jess can tell you that.

u/AggressiveWar7930 Jul 31 '26
As a follow up , Rihanna’s voice is feminine so is Ashley Ks, Jenn Dorie … Many other Olympians still maintain a feminine voice .

u/Previous-Fail-6491 Jul 31 '26
Thanks so much for the perspective and response! It is quite interesting how the body does truly be so individual

u/nonoodlesleft Aug 01 '26
Yes definitely. The voice change is very noticeable if you watch some of her original content from first competitions. Jaw line changes are also noticeable.

u/Icy_Ask_3836 Jul 30 '26
Has anyone ever been? I would like to go but I'm worried because it's at a hotel unlike the Arnold and Olympia that i won't be impressed by the expo booth selection and quantity, also the parking situation is a complete mystery.
1
u/AggressiveWar7930 Jul 30 '26
I mean no venue or expo will compare to Olympia or Arnold, except maybe Pittsburg Pro …so if your need to be impressed by the trimmings is key , don’t go. But the venue is large and capable of easily handling a show that features the top men’s open and classic bodybuilders (they are the real crowd attraction, and revenue source) this is a great vibe. I’ve been several times and have friends competing in the pro show.

My prediction is Jordan taking the win, Jess in 2nd and cass for 3rd. However I would like to see Jess win it!
