A message from 2050

In the early twenty-first century more and more women were pumping iron, but the lack of available prize money coupled with constantly changing judging criteria meant that official female bodybuilding contests all but disappeared.

The online audience for muscular women, however, continued to grow.

Consequently, the sport went underground. Basement clubs became venues for unregulated female muscle contests, packed to the rafters with drooling muscle worshippers, the winners chosen by audience vote rather than judges.

The rising popularity of these contests led to bigger and bigger venues, the competitors performing more and more outrageous routines to win the prizes. Gradually, the posing suit became redundant and the competitors flexed in all their glory, fulfilling the fantasies of their adoring fans.

Now, in 2050, the sport has never been more popular. The basement shows are still thriving, but the top contests are beamed around the world and the top female bodybuilders are media celebrities. Men desire them, women desire to be them, and they can finally earn the kind of money their dedication deserves.
