rice eaters should not get into bodybuilding.

as oppose to the mcdonald's eating people?

55 kg? and he won in bodybuilding?

and yeah ...rice eaters should not get into bodybuilding.

er. why not?

too much carbs too little calories.

huh??? to get a body like that you need to be on a strict diet that includes not only rice but lots of lean meat.
I remember when the bird flu thing was at its height, many Viet bodybuilders were having a hard time getting lean protein meat like chicken so they have get protein from import or other source. Beef is a good source of protein but it has too much fat.

Basically, those bodybuilders have money to eat like any bodybuilder around the world. Poor folks don't have time to eat six times a day and spend 8 hours a day in a gym.

haha

for the pictures... at least i see some boob unlike some other manly-women body builders.

that should be illegal

Those are silicone breast implants!!!
