Discussions of crying and love are not what one might expect to find when examining interactions between recreational bodybuilders online. Gendered emotion ideologies, especially related to muscular masculinities, usually forbid men from exhibiting emotional vulnerability in front of other men, as emotional detachment is one of the ways gender hierarchies are maintained. Building on Connell’s concept of ‘hegemonic masculinity’ and Hochschild’s concept of ‘emotion management’, this article analyses emotional exchanges within an international community of male recreational bodybuilders: fans of Aziz Shavershian, known as ‘Zyzz’. We examine the meaning of emotions within the Zyzz fandom’s local hierarchy of masculinities, the expressive freedoms afforded by the context of their emotional interactions, and the strategies employed by Zyzz and fans to traverse masculine emotion ideologies that usually prevent men from expressing love and affection.

Neste artigo, parte-se da ideia de corpo virtual, de sexualidade e das histórias do travestismo e transexualismo. Aborda-se a busca pelo feminino por alguns homens e também por mulheres. Para tanto, utiliza-se o conceito de body building, um fenômeno que começou no pós-guerra e vem se solidificando na atualidade devido ao desenvolvimento da ciência na área de cirurgia plástica e outros métodos de construção do corpo. Discute-se a inadequação do termo travestismo, uma vez que a caracterização do feminino nestes casos não está mais só nas vestes e sim, também no corpo. Por fim, fala-se a respeito da força que a feminilidade exerce sobre o ser humano e de um novo sujeito que surge nas sociedades atuais, desafiando conceitos teóricos e padrões culturais de gênero.

To the Editor.— The conclusions1 of the Committee on Sports Medicine concerning this topic are conservative and laudable. However, the definitions of the major lifts described in the article are unclear and possibly misleading. In the section "Definitions" are mentioned "major lifts,' and `the power clean and the incline and overhead presses.' The article then states, "These lifts involve the use of free weights lifted through the extremes of joint motion in a ballistic rather than a controlled fashion.
