   thats a bit much

2. dum-dum | 10/02/10

   cannot stand the old hag of a witch but I’d trade tummies with her!

3. tia | 10/02/10

   She really isn’t THAT muscular….she is just very lean. I have a similar body type. She needs to wear long sleeves!

4. Rachel | 10/02/10

   Oh no, they freak me out

5. MScotton | 10/02/10

   Veins seem to show more with age. However she does have very sizable, muscular arms.

6. tia | 10/02/10

   Honestly, considering her age I think she is stunning. You can tell she puts alot of time and hard work into maintaining her pysique. Unfortunately, at that age if you “over do” it you can look too lean and veiny. I personally, would rather err on the side of too lean than too fat (dumpy) which is how most women in their 50’s look. She just needs to dress differently. Even a fitted long sleeve shirt would look sexy!

7. Matilda | 10/02/10

   Long sleeves definitely.

8. Nikiline | 10/02/10

   Oh my! that is awful!

9. Elena | 10/02/10

   omg she’s gone too far with the exercise and trying to look young

10. nnn | 10/02/10

    She looks like a corpse that has come back to life!! I do agree that she doesn’t have gigantic muscles, just so little fat that she looks gross. Also the veins… yuck!!

11. happygolucky | 10/02/10

    @Rian, your title made me laugh: and the pope is Catholic.

12. honey | 10/02/10

    That looks awfull. I mean, muscles are good, but that’s too much…

13. Mickey von Dutch | 10/02/10

    Wow, that’s not a pretty sight.

14. regan | 10/02/10

    I don’t think she’s as muscular as she is old (thin-skinned) & lean.

15. Marty | 10/02/10

    Leave Madonna and her muscular arms alone. She looks good for her age. She kinda reminds me of a overactive grandmother who weight trains though.

16. Kimber | 10/02/10

    YUCK! It ages her…As Snookie would say..”she looks like a juicehead”.

17. aoife | 10/02/10

    looking good – i would much rather these arms than flabby bingo wings actually!

18. Anya | 10/02/10

    This woman is AMAZING! I LOVE HER and her body!!!! such an inspiration hope I look like her when Im her age:):):)

19. Emily | 10/02/10

    Yeah she doesn’t have that big muscles, just a lot of definition (i’m meaning the veins -part here too, not just the “good” definition) due to low body fat and aging of the skin. Not my cup of tea, aesthetically, but i do appreciate strong ppl.

20. magda | 10/02/10

    she is walking proof that women (espiecialy 40 and more) need some fat.She is not that muscular (although she is in great shape) , she just doesn’t have any amount of fat in her body.

21. mag | 10/02/10

    i’m sorry but …ewwwww
    not good…so not feminine!!!

22. glow | 10/02/10

    I love muscular arms ala Jessica Biel & Elizabeth Hasselbeck, but these are a bit much. Though I’d rather have these than soft shapeless twigs.

23. LizzieLou | 10/02/10

    Just because an older person works out (like myself) does not mean that they are trying to “look young”. It’s rather a way to look after yourself and stay healthy.

24. Sian | 10/02/10

    Madonna’s arms or flabby bingo wings – there must be some kind of middle ground.

25. MentallySkinny | 10/02/10

    She is not that muscular! When you age you get veiny and your skin gets saggy no matter what. She is very fit, she’s got one of the best bodies. I wish I had her dedication and dicipline.

26. aoife | 10/02/10

    @Sian – absolutely there is a middle ground but just saying if i had to pick either extreme i would rather these arms!

27. Connie | 10/02/10

    I can see that she want to look young and work out/be fit BUT COME ON! This doesn’t look good at all! If anything it makes her look more aged, like someone said “corpse like.”

28. Lily | 10/02/10

    looks like an alien

29. Londoncalling | 10/02/10

    Big arms, but i dont think she looks too bad at all.

30. Em | 10/02/10

    OMG WTF is happening to her? Take away the feminine outfit and blond hair and she could easily pass as Carrot Top.
    She has gone overboard! One thing is to take care of yourself and exercise regularily, but she is clearly having a middel age crisis 10 years too late. I pity her, I honestly do.

31. Danni8 | 10/02/10

    Whoa!! I admire her ongoing committment to fitness. I think she has a EFA defiency however…looks evident doesn’t it??

32. Draccae | 10/02/10

    She scares me.

33. Miss Jessie | 10/02/10

    Yay for strong women

34. Tiny Dancer | 10/02/10

    I’d rather look strong and muscular than weak, untoned and plain skinny.

35. allison | 10/02/10

    OH EM GEE!! she has hair on her arms!

    “P

36. ms | 10/02/10

    Thanks Rian for the Madonna pics. I really like the lean look Madonna has perfected. I mean seriously this woman has no fat on her. Amazing! It is unbelievable she is 50 so crazy.

37. shaden | 10/02/10

    i think that is to much!!!

38. sweetnsour | 10/02/10

    Not even remotely attractive….

39. (O.O) | 10/02/10

    needs to invest in long sleeves and less yoga

    just for a bit haha. those “guns” are freaky O.o

40. Anna | 10/02/10

    She doesn’t look horrible yet, but she will in a couple of years. And by that I don’t mean the natural aging process.

    Women in their mid 40s (some earlier, some later) get saggy arms – so what? Luckily we don’t have to choose between fat and completely out of shape or veiny, manly and wannabe-young. Her arms are a disaster and to me she is a great example that you can actually exercise too much. She looks like she hardly does anything else and that’s pretty boring and unattractive.

41. bella | 10/02/10

    I do not know what is worse the fact she has large buldging veins or the fact that she has worked to get arms like that. Its a little much.

42. Scary_doLL | 10/02/10

    ew

43. peanut gallery | 10/02/10

    Danni8: what’s an EFA deficiency?

44. flowerzz | 10/02/10

    I hate putting people down or being negative, but…..ick.

45. Alicia | 10/02/10

    I think it is because she is slim that her arms appear this way, but she really does exercise and she is in great shape. I do think long fitted sleeves would be flattering.

46. Sabra | 10/02/10

    I cannot stand this woman.

47. Dr. Truth | 10/02/10

    Wow Rian. “Madonna has muscular arms.” Very observant!

48. kaybee | 10/02/10

    yikes–not to be mean, but her arms aren’t looking so great–reminds me of a dried out piece of beef jerky. I think she is really overdoing the upper body workout–not very attractive when taken to this extreme.

49. Jess | 10/02/10

    so disturbing

50. Lim | 10/02/10

    She is stunning on her age. I wish I can be like this on her age. Gorgeous.

51. Diane | 10/02/10

    Yikes! She looks like she could pop my head off with her bare hands!!!

    Overall, tho, we all age differently and I admire her commitment to physical fitness.

52. Danni8 | 10/02/10

    RE: peanut gallery
    what’s an EFA deficiency?
    Essential Fatty Acid. Sorry I should have explained that. It is a major side effect of underconsumption/undereating. Some people get it too from being on a low fat diet for too long.

53. Lisa | 10/02/10

    That just proves that as a woman ages she needs a little more fat on her body! I am not saying tubby, but she needs something to cover up those veins and muscles. My mother is in her 70s and still works out with weights, the treadmill, and the pool but does not have those nasty arms!

54. Madi | 10/02/10

    I look at her arms and just think of penis. So many veins…

55. Mel | 10/02/10

    Gross!!

56. dascoop | 10/02/10

    hmmm, MANdonna looking like a MAN. How unsexy.

57. Dani | 10/02/10

    The veins are more a result of good cardiovascular health from her workouts. When you see veins that prominent in the upper arms, that comes more from healthy cardiac status more than her age.

58. December Ann | 10/02/10

    She is not aging naturally. She might look better if she did. Plastic surgery and the like can be great if you do it in moderation. She has gone overboard in every single category. It’s a sad shame because she looks tragic and scary.

59. k | 10/02/10

    i agree with some of the other comments. its not so much that she has tons of muscle (though she’s in good shape), but that she has so little body fat that any muscle she does have really stands out.

60. nico_ | 10/02/10

    Why do her veins stick out like that? :S

61. Ella | 10/02/10

    Stringy. That’s the word.

62. Jetta C | 10/02/10

    Though I too admire her discipline, the top with short sleeves was an unfortunate choice. As we age, so much of looking good is being clever about what we highlight and what we hide!

63. rachel | 10/02/10

    Gross! That’s all I can say.

64. eva | 10/02/10

    angelina has veins popping out of her arms also. No body fat.

65. maru | 10/02/10

    Incredible …good shape!Love it!

66. Courtney | 10/02/10

    she has control issues

67. Boodiba | 10/02/10

    @LizzieLou – I agree!!

    I’m also very lean & I can see veins pop out in my forehead at time! It’s distressing in one way, but I am nearly 43 and there is more to life than being a sexual creature.

68. Lana-bee | 11/02/10

    for people who are saying she isnt muscular… she is an exercise addict. she exercises to relieve stress, she exercises as a daily ritual, she exercises as part of her career, she exercises as fear of aging (although this is counterproductive). she is insanely muscular. and on a level of ashtanga yoga that is pro athlete level. she is more than lean. and the heading of this post is beyond something we all are aware of. i think madonna has had some issues for a while as far as exercise addiction. she needs to seriously cut back on it. it’s not doing her looks any good and im sure it has cut into her personal life as well.

69. justathought | 11/02/10

    im glad shes healthy, but eww eww eww!!!

70. BonyMaria | 11/02/10

    The thing is that sometime in your forties all the fat just falls of your bones overnight! And then you have to decide whether to have flabby arms or get rid of that naughty fat… It’s a natural process of ageing

71. artemis | 11/02/10

    yeah and they’re veryyyy ugly ugh

72. JeanGenie | 11/02/10

    I read an interview with her trainer and she said the reason Madge’s veins are so prominent is because of the specific type of yoga she does that pushes the blood through the veins really fast and make them pop out. She also said that Madonna has a very rare type of body and very few woman would be able to achieve this look or low body fat %

    I love Rian’s no frills title.

73. Creepy Doll | 11/02/10

    No matter what she does to her, I’ve always thought she has a beautiful face. I wonder why almost no one agrees with me.

74. buhr guhr | 11/02/10

    omg thats scary!!

75. Anne | 11/02/10

    I know most of you will not believe this – but 50 is not old – not old enough to explain those veins – one theory is that they result from Bikhram yoga – whatever it is not attractive.

76. yin | 11/02/10

    strong

77. Kianna | 11/02/10

    Have to agree w/Danni8 about the EFA thing! GEES, Madonna is (and has been overdoing it) for her entire life ! (Except maybe during her 2 pregnancies!) She (IMO) is creeping me out w/those muscular arms! I wonder if this is how we will see Kelly Ripa (39-yr. now) when she is Madonna’s age! Ripa idolizes Madonna & her workout regimes disciplines so-oo much! Angelina has the veiny arms but she has acquired them from just being too thin / not eating. She is NOT a workout individual.

78. Yana | 11/02/10

    Ew, why can’t someone close to her tell her she’s starting to look like a man? It’s gross

79. Nique | 11/02/10

    No way anyone of the female gender would want that arms!

80. sneaux | 11/02/10

    Not feminine at all. Actually – kind of gross. She has man arms. There are times she looks absolutely amazing – and times she looks downright dreadful. This is definitely the dreadful time.

81. janesaidso | 11/02/10

    Steroids, anyone? I’ve never seen a fit person her age with the amount of bulging veins she’s got.

82. Jade | 11/02/10

    *testing*

83. lc | 11/02/10

    This is disturbing. She scares the crap out of me.

84. Audrey | 12/02/10

    Thread title made me laugh – Madonna has Muscular Arms – kind of like Pope is Catholic!

85. Alias | 13/02/10

    Aesthetically speaking? No.
    Respect her discipline? Yes.

86. yin | 13/02/10

    obsession has begun obsessed by disruction…

87. Anushka | 16/02/10

    Yikes!! I’d hate to get her mad!
