GUILTY!

No, the material mom and pop superstar isn't toting AK47s to Malawi, Manhattan and beyond. Madonna's weapons of choice are her buff-beyond-belief biceps. Recent images of the singer display a double-barreled mass of sinewy veins that strike fear in the hearts of paparazzi and raise questions in the heads of fans and critics:
How and why does a 50-year-old woman get her arms to look like that?
"Oftentimes when your body fat is really, really, low, as Madonna's is, you're going to see veins pop," explained Leslie Bonci, director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. "Her body fat is minimal, and she does a lot of strength training workouts that are going to build her muscles to look more visible."

Old age is a bitch.
Steroids
Madonna is not unhealthy...she just has little to no body fat. She eats very clean and obsessively works out.
“Old age is a bitch.”
Her ex said she looked like a granny on stage. Madonna didn’t like that.
GUILTY!
At least she’s not taking little kids to bed with her.
Somewhere, Sean Penn is thanking his lucky stars for how fate worked things out in his personal life.
I’ll reserve judgment on the steroids until I hear her voice. But I’ll admit it was my first thought.
What you are seeing is an extremely slow motion panic. She sees the photos of the aged sex symbols - Joan Crawford, Betty Grable, Sophia Loren, Kat Hepburn, Helen Thomas (okay I’m kidding). What did they devolve into? A nasty reply might be “old wrinkly hags”, but the unvarnished truth is just “old women”. They got old, they got wrinkly, and guys didn’t think of them as “hot” anymore. Madonna is heading towards that, and it scares her worse than Janet Reno answering the door in an unzipped house coat. So she cranks those weights, takes those vitamins, and eats that broccoli, hoping, praying, that God was smart enough to keep a talent like her “hot” forever. When you have integrity as deep as a puddle on a bathroom floor, “hot” is all you’ve got.
She looks terrible. I imagine that the hag is afraid of dying - maybe she retains enough of her early Roman Catholic training to be afraid she’s going to go to hell?
Considering her immoral influence on young people through the years, I think she should be afraid of dying.
As much as she slams the church, I notice she sends the kid to Catholic school.
And this one's Not Guilty.
And you’re surprised? Anyone with even half a brain (like Madonna) knows that public schools suck.
Who is she? Is she 50?
LOL! Great way of putting it!
Its time Madonna donned the matronly cocktail dress, get a standing Vegas gig, and become a grande dame.
Let me be the first, NO I WOULDN’T HIT IT!
Oh man, the very thought must be like a garlic cross to a vampire to her!
That can NOT be a REAL Picture!
I would hit it....with a 9 ft. pole.
Wow, we’ve set the bar pretty low for acceptable behavior these days!
Are you sure about that? Many of the private schools in the UK are Church of England and look the same as the Catholic ones.
In this case, Madonna has a body fat level that is simply too low. I can tell by looking at her, that she is probably well below 10% body fat, and that is not good for a woman.
That’s my guess as well.
My understanding is that the girl - I believe her name is Lourdes - has been in Catholic schools for years. I don’t know about the younger boy, who was born overseas.
“Her ex said she looked like a granny on stage. Madonna didn’t like that.”
He also said cuddling up next to her was like cuddling up to a hard piece of gristle. I’ll bet she didn’t like either.
I keep hearing different numbers about what constitutes a healthy level of body fat. Some say that it’s not ideal for a woman to have less than 20% body fat, but I don’t buy that. My body fat is around 15% and I’m not having health problems.
There is only one problem with your analysis.
Madonna was NEVER hot.
“...Madonna was NEVER hot.”
Not a classic beauty but at least she was healthy and shapely. I was doing a semester of post-grad work at the University of Alabama at Birmingham back in the mid-80s when some early pre-famous Madonna B&W nude pics ran in a men’s magazine. When I remarked that she looked like a hairy Italian girl (unshaved pits) most of the fellas noted that she just looked good ...as in “hot”.
I am sorry those look like my 90 year old grandmother's arms as I remember them as a kid. She also worked out, gardening, and other activities running a farm.
Her testosterone levels are too high....
Yep. The face always gives it away. Nothing wrong with working out. But she has obviously become obsessive about body fat, which is a pity because she used to be a fairly attractive woman.
She needs to eat.
One problem with these super rich personalities- once they get to their level they tend not to tolerate people in their lives who disagree with them or offer critical advice. She probably has no one close to her who can say 'Girl, you look like sh!t. People are gagging when they look at you.'
Yeah, 20% is considered a lower limit for women, but I don't buy that either. That number doesn't account for a large number of athletic women that are completely healthy at under 20%. Don't get me wrong, most women look good at 20%, but you can probably maintain health with body fat substantially under that number. But less than 10% for the majority of women is probably pushing it.
Judging by your picture in your profile, you are looking more than just healthy at 15% :)
Bulging veins and biceps?
Only reason they’re “bulging” is the extremely skinny arms they’re attached to! Nonsense = or more likely, a publicists’ put-on piece to the paper.
“Not Guilty” as charged. :-)
That is just GROSS!
I would. With a 2-by
Yikes ...
Must be eating all that kabala.
Depends on how you define healthy.
With body fat that low, she runs increased risk of death in general. Her estrogen levels will be near zero increasing risks of osteoporosis and heart disease. That level of exercise depresses the immune system with the associated risks of cancer and infection.
Our bodies were designed for moderation. Anything taken to an extreme, even if an otherwise a healthy choice, will hurt the body if taken to extremes.
I’d hit it with a dump truck.
Unfortunately for Madonna her face and neck probably look like your 90yo grandmother's too.
Anorexia can be fatal.
“”””Let me be the first, NO I WOULDN’T HIT IT!””””
I would. I would take a strong shot of bourbon, close my eyes, hold my breathe and hit it.
Then spend the rest of the day relaxing on her yaught.
She needs way more help than anyone can possibly give.
My professional opinion is exactly the same.
