I recently had the great
fortune to interview one of the most famous, most attractive female
bodybuilders in the world. Annie Rivieccio needs no introduction. Click on her
name at the top of the page to surf over to her website where you can find
stats, pictures and much more. Annie is also my personal favorite and, as I
found out, one of the nicest people you could meet.
Q. How old were you when you started lifting?
A. I started in 1986 and am 39
years old now!!
Q. Were you always athletic/strong before you started lifting?
A. Yes, I was always strong
and muscular. I ran track in High School.
Q. What exactly was it that made you start lifting?
A. Just wanting to get more
muscular and lose some fat.
Q. What were you bodybuilding aims back them, and have you achieved
them?
A. Yes, I wanted to look as
good as the women in the magazines.
Q. Have you ever surprised a guy with your strength?
A Yes, on numerous occasions I
have had male training partners that didn’t want to workout anymore
because I was stronger than them (and they didn’t expect it).
Q. How did friends, family and men in general react to you putting on
muscle?
Q. Can you describe what a basic session with you would entail, the
cost and where it takes place?
A. It entails whatever the
client wants to explore in terms of seeing and feeling my power.

Q. Do you enjoy the sessions and/or overpowering men?
A. At times………I have to be in
the mood though.
Q. Who do you admire most in the world of bodybuilding?
A. Actually, I don’t ‘admire’
much in the world of bodybuilding; I admire a few certain individuals but in
whole
the ‘sport’ has been a disappointment to me. I think it is not
about the most developed, symmetrical and
beautiful body anymore; it looks to me in many cases (not
all), that people who get high placing, are
obviously drug abused looking (especially the men), not
aesthetic/athletic at all. Lots of BB look like they
couldn’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag, absolutely no
athleticism to their physique. Distended
abdomens, bad skin, horribly sunken or bloated faces, bone
structure change due to drugs etc. To me its
disappointing that judges look for this when picking contest
winners. I don’t think there is much balance in
the ‘sport’. It has gone from one extreme to the other with no
reason, criteria, nothing to go by at all. How
about looking big and muscular, lean and healthy and beautiful,
like Frank Zane or Cory Everson and
Lenda Murray?
Q. How can a non-BB male attract a FBB?
A. Just be himself, not there
for the muscle. If someone is to attract anyone, it has to go beyond the
physical.
Q. In session, what’s the weirdest request you ever had?
A. I have had many requests
but keep them al private.
A massive thanks to Annie for answering my questions. Please go and visit her site to see the legend I action. Please let me know what you think of this new interview section. If it proves popular, I will extend it to others in the FBB world.
