Jodi Marsh is a bodybuilder now

Not a name we'd normally see in the Fitness Forum but...

P.s Sorry for the link from the Sun

Pamela Anderson was considering being a BBer when she was starting out.

MagicMarker

She's looking good, she always was the poster child for the skinny fat.

d'Oracle

Or the just plain fat.....

Cant remember Jodie Marsh being skinny-fat.

I think she looks great.
She looks fit and strong, quite attractive........ from the neck down.

Money Shot

Well at least she got people talking about her again - and she'll most likely get another thousand dull photoshoots out of it for a thousand crass magazines, which will be bought by thousands of stupid punters

I'll wait for her interview on Graham Norton or Jonathan Ross when she can describe to us in detail how tough it was and how hard she worked to get her fabulous body. Personally, I think a woman looks better curvy and with a healthy amount of fat, and the falsies are a major turn off.

She looks great. If one of the girls on here got herself into that shape, you'd all be gushing over her. I'm no fan of todays celeb culture, but Jodie looks fantastic. Quit yer bitchin' people!

SW81

I think she looks better now than she ever has. Fair play to her!

Frank Bullitt

Regardless of her personality,she looks very very well

yeah, she looks great for an ordinary fitness junkie, but she's talking about bodybuilding contest. I'd say she would not go further the bottom 3 with that ar*se and legs.

A glamour model managed to get herself in shape, how impressive.

You'd think being in shape would be a prequisite for the job.

She looks sensational in those pics has to be said. Minus the tattoos and fake jugs she'd look even nicer.

Roper

I'm not hating because she's a minger (she is) or what she looks like.

She is one of the best examples of the most despicable aspects of what we call "celebrity culture". Her getting in shape is yet another publicity seeking act from a publicity junkie, and I just went and hammered a nail through my mouse finger for clicking on that link and contributing to the base, racist, idiotic piece of toilet roll that is the Sun (As a kid I loved Liverpool FC which might explain that). If any poster here looked like that I'd be the first to congratulate her on her results but when it's Jodie Marsh or any of her ilk, I just want to vomit in my coffee.

Coming next for Ms. Marsh, bedding the kid who played Harry Potter while filming a new diary style TV series that details her life hunting asylum seekers. That should be worth page 6.

Tbh, I don't see what the difference is between people analysing her body and people analysing men's bodies on the "next mr.O" thread. We can only go by the link and say that she wishes to compete in a bodybuilding comp (or figure comp and the sun just don't know the difference, which I'd completely believe) but either way this is what she is stepping into, no different than people discussing the relative merits of where kai Greene versus that Wolf lads lats insert. And fwiw I also believe she could do with some more hamstring work.

However ftr, comments on her personality are a completely different issue and I don't agree with it.

Exactly, no one went on about how Kai Greene was a rent boy (maybe cos they didn't know), so why do it here? Obviously it's Jodi Marsh and she's an absolute tit, but for 6 months work she's got herself into VERY good shape.

Legs and erectors are probably always going to take hte longest to come on from a major muscel group standpoint, but for someone training 6 months I think she's done a great job.

I'd like to hear what sort of female bodybuilding type discipline she's going to go into before we all start bashing her again and saying she'll be laughed off stage.

brianthebard

Now thats interesting, I assumed because glutes, quads and hams are some of the bigger muscles they would be easier to gain size on quicker, that's not the case?
I do think she's done a good job on upper body though, back especially.

Kev M

She's guilty by association I guess, but she's made something of herself and could go out on her own and work towards something positive. That's something most people could never do....

You make valid points about celebrity culture (or lack of it) but from my prospective if it encourages girls to get to the gym to look like that instead of sitting in on the couch eating and watching the tripe they do - then it has a very positive aspect.

the only drawback is she'll quit in 6 months

My point is very simple.

She is not a good role model for fitness pursuits because her figure is unatainable without getting copious amounts of plastic surgery done. When a woman goes below a certain % of body fat, they don't have huge knockers like Jodie Marsh. Equally, they don't have photoshop, fake tan (well, maybe that) and expensive photo shoots.

Secondly, if you think her motivation is either bodybuilding or health and fitness then you're being extremely naive. Her motivation is to get in the newspapers and to be discussed, pretty much like we're discussing her here (and the of my contribution irony isn't lost on me).

If people want a female role model I have a girl training with me now who is doing things she couldn't concieve of 6 months ago, for my money looks 10 times better than Ms. Marsh, and isn't cynically trying to get your attention every hands turn. If you want to look like Jodie Marsh, be prepared to go under the knife because that's the only way that's happening.

A few lads have already said she would look far better without the bags of silicone, I would be another. They look stupid, I doubt many women would want them as "a goal" even if attainable by physical means or free surgery.

If fake breasts are instantly recognisable as being fake then it misses the point IMO, and makes no sense to me, unless they are porn/glamour stars like her who make their living looking like freaks. It would be like a balding man going out and getting a bob marley wig making sure everybody knows it is fake.

I fully agree with the comments on her motivation.

It might start convincing girls that lifting weights is OK for girls to do, which can only be a good thing. I can't see her sticking to it either but she might surprise us you never know.

For the record, I think she looks great. If it wasn't for those silly tats even the fake boobs wouldn't look too bad.

The fake knockers don't really have anything to do with bodybuilding though and I think it's safe to say that women know there's only one way of attaining a bust like that. Plus, she had them before she ever got into bodybuilding. As Rubadub rightly pointed out, a lot of women wouldn't want fake looking knockers anyway. I think she has got herself into great condition but I also think she would look far better without the fake knockers.

The benefit I see from it in terms of aesthetics is that it is likely to show women that if they do train hard at weights and apply themselves to maintaining a good diet, they can make improvements like Jodie Marsh has done.

Her motivation may be suspect but the publicity gained by her is also publicity for the sport of bodybuilding. It's also likely to be good publicity in terms of the mainstream image of the sport. The image a lot of people have of bodybuilding is essentially juiced up cartoonish looking people who are seen as being weird (quite frankly). Jodie Marsh on the other hand has developed an attainable physique and is someone that we've all heard of and the people who read the time of mag/papers she appears in will probably know to be a relatively normal individual. The bodybuilding purists may disagree with me on that so I guess there's a few ways of looking at it.

Aye, its the tats and the t*ts that would put me off her as well. Other than that, I think she looks well.

kevpants

I have no problem with female bodybuilders or whatever nor am I gonna comment on whether she looks in great shape or not. I frankly couldn't care.

The woman is a pathetic example of everything that is wrong with this celebrity crap. Why do people care? What does she do that can in any way be categorized as useful? Why the hell am I even posting this?

I read somewhere that some little girls aspire to being glamour models. I nearly shat when I read that! I don't have kids but if I do and it's a girl I'm moving to the top of a mountain with a gun and hooooge dog.

It's scary it really is, I mean you see tweenies walking around dressed like... well her... and I just despair that if I had a girl now what will they be like in 12 or 13 years time? I mean when I was a teenager I wasn't even aware girls had legs, I never saw any to prove it so how could I tell?

I've no doubt this is another effort at getting her waste of a human shell into Now, or Heat or Sh1te or whatever they're called.

If I was into bodybuilding, and I'm not, I'd be appalled that someone like her was trying to attach herself to the sport. If she turned up sporting a crotchless Titan Squat suit I don't know what I'd do.

I agree with you on that, for sure. The fact that she attains any sort of publicity at all is an absolute abomination. Fact of the matter is that she does get this type of undeserved publicity and as long as there are enough idiots around to facilitate it, people like her will. It's one of lifes many sad/wrong facts. It obviously doesn't bother me to quite the same extent it bothers others but I still don't think it's right.

Hmm, I never thought of the: her turning up and making a mockery of a competition aspect of it. Still, I would be inclined to doubt anything like that will happen. As far as I could tell from scanning through the article, it seems to be more a case of her having attached herself to the bodybuilding lifestyle rather than to competitive bodybuilding.

That wasn't your original point though. Your point was that you can't stand her because of her epitomising the most despicable aspects of the celebrity culture. And what we were saying was what does this have to do with the way she looks.

Her figure is perfectly attainable - I don't see what else is enhanced apart from her rack.

You're missing my point. See below.

I have never met a woman who aspires to be Jodie Marsh in any shape, and if I did I reckon it would be because they had mistaken me for a premiership player they thought they could shag and get into the paper for. If one of my friends told me she wanted to look like Jodie Marsh, I'd call for the men in white coats. Please, please, please tell me that no woman is reading this thread saying they want to be like her!

Her motivation may be suspect but the publicity gained by her is also publicity for the sport of bodybuilding. It's also likely to be good publicity in terms of the mainstream image of the sport.

You're clutching at straws here. If bodybuilding needs Jodie Marsh then it's in trouble.

It has everything to do with the way she looks, as the only reason she looks like anything is to get her mug in the papers.

Yes low body fat is attainable, more muscle is attainable, but no woman gets to that %BF and keeps their breasts. So it's a falsity. You are looking at a sham.

Whether any woman wants or ever has wanted to look like her is irrelevant. The point I was making is that she provides example of an attainable physique (bar the knockers) for women and essentially proves that with hard work and effort, results can be achieved. There's a lot of sportsmen that I could say are in great shape and are an example of how applying yourself rigerously to training will get you results; that doesn't mean I want to look like all/any of them.

Bodybuilding doesn't need Jodie Marsh but if she's gonna do it, why not use the publicity to the advantage of the sport? It's just like the Ultimate Fighter doesn't need Kimbo Slice for the show to be a sucess but the fact that he is gonna be on the next series will drum up extra publicity, which Dana White will use to his advantage.

Jodie Marsh... something positive... hmmm. No, I've never seen those two terms in a sentence before so kudos for that.

I never said women require anything to achieve anything. All I said is that it may help and may show that the type of training she has been doing is a good way of getting results. Regardless of her personality and media hogging persona, it's very clear that she has worked hard and gotten herself into good shape.

The main reason i'll be watching the ultimate fighter with Kimbo is because of the controversy that surrounds the man and the amount of smack that has gone back and forth between him and Dana White. I would actually like to see the bloke do well in the competition, not because "I want to be him", im happy enough just being me; but because I think he will provide entertainment as a fighter. Why anyone would want to be anyone or be like anyone is beyond me, just be yourself!

It shouldn't take some Z lister to make them realise it - but as you know, that's how the world works. She gets in the papers and magazines, your trainees working their socks off in the gym and who also look great don't. Isn't it better to see 'Jodie Marsh watches diet and works ass off and looks great' than 'Jodie Marsh falls out of nightclub'?

Try typing 'Jodie Marsh charity' into the wonderweb and see what comes up. Seems like there are one or two positive traits there from what I can see.

Money Shot

I can't believe we are lauding a woman for having the time, money and resources available to spend months on nothing else other than working on her self image. who cares - wow Christian Bale/Will Smith is a great actor now because he can afford to take eight months off with personal trainers, nutritionists, and zero distractions to get himself into great shape for a film.

Most women could look a lot better than they do if they didn't have to go to work, manage budgets, look after kids etc. I would like to think that most women would probably choose to spend a large portion of their time living life rather than dedicating it to obsessive narcissism. The think that annoys me most is that I'm wasting seconds even talking abou it.

I really hope for society's sake that there is a very massive cultural and philisophical shift very soon. Barrack Obama seems to have a grasp of what is really wrong with today's society, and people fanning Jodi Marsh's ego farts towards themselves looking for some sort of answer is a part of the problem.

to quote Obama

"Now, in the face of these challenges, it may be tempting to fall back on the formulas for success that have been pedaled so frequently in recent years. It goes something like this: You're taught to chase after all the usual brass rings; you try to be on this "who's who" list or that top 100 list; you chase after the big money and you figure out how big your corner office is; you worry about whether you have a fancy enough title or a fancy enough car. That's the message that's sent each and every day, or has been in our culture for far too long -- that through material possessions, through a ruthless competition pursued only on your own behalf -- that's how you will measure success.

Now, you can take that road -- and it may work for some. But at this critical juncture in our nation's history, at this difficult time, let me suggest that such an approach won't get you where you want to go; it displays a poverty of ambition -- that in fact, the elevation of appearance over substance, of celebrity over character, of short-term gain over lasting achievement is precisely what your generation needs to help end "

We wouldn't want to take a discussion past the point where we may address a serious issue now would we

I suppose another issue would be why we are addresssing these kind of issues on a fitness forum in the first place. Might be because a lot of people have no interest in fitness or sport but asethetics, and some are willing to jeopardise their long term health to achieve it.
