Concentrating purely on the stomach and chest of the female body builder, the muscles which define the body doesn’t define the sex of the person. You tend to find that women who do alot of extreme body building loose there breasts as they turn the fatty tissue into muscles/pectorals . (This is mainly due to drug intake on the woman’s behalf to enhance the muscles like a man) In magazines the female bodybuilders are depicted with large breasts this is because the majority have had breast surgery to retain the female parts to define themselves still as women. (It is worth noting that if women do exercise or do body building that unless pushed to its extreme state that they will still retain the female breasts.) But for my project i have found it interesting to look into females that have pushed there bodies to the extreme, losing society definition of the female identity of there breasts. Making them visually mimic a male body (chest, abs, arms, legs, shoulders).
