** The issue that is left unmentioned so far are Janet's source of income [[labelnote:Note]]She is not shown to have a job.[[/labelnote]]

** Played straighter with regards to her BoobsOfSteel. It is ''very'' hard to get her muscle definition ''and'' boob size at the same time in RealLife without implants.[[labelnote:Note]] Bodybuilders have to decrease their body fat in order for muscles to appear sculpted, while breasts consist largely of fat tissue. Indeed, many female bodybuilders chose to have breast implants because of this issue.[[/labelnote]]

* StepfordSmiler: Jerry clearly has issues with Janet's bodybuilding, but he hides them well enough for Janet to be oblivious to them.
* YourCheatingHeart: Jerry, when he got to know Rachael, a more conventional-looking beauty.

* AmazonianBeauty / BrawnHilda: Since it is a comic about female bodybuilding, there are many examples. Janet herself, for starters. Jerry initially sees her as the former, but thinks that she became the latter when she got bigger.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Rachael's rhetorical question: "What makes them think any man would want them like that?" Jerry goes on to explain that he thought Janet was getting ''too'' buff. Earlier on, Jerry was thinking that Janet's bodybuilding was "ruining her body". If she wasn't natural, she might well have been (See the note under Artistic License Biology above).

''Contest Jitters'' is a webcomic by David C. Matthews (creator of ''Webcomic/{{Tetsuko}}''). It follows Janet Steele, a budding female bodybuilder as she prepares for (and takes part in) a major competition. It is not published on a regular schedule, but “whenever a page is finished” (to quote the creator).

* ChekhovsSkill: Janet's background in gymnastics will prove useful in her future adventures.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Janet is almost unnaturally buff for a natural bodybuilder. Downplayed in the sense that her trainer did comment that she had the genes for it. It was also shown that she works very hard at weights. [[labelnote:Note]]Ladies, don't be put off from lifting weights after reading this comic. Most women cannot get to Janet's size unless she uses testosterone or steroids in addition to lifting heavy weights. Lifting weights, combined with a sensible diet, will make most ladies look ''at the most'' like Janet in Jerry's first flashback, i.e. toned and still conventionally feminine. In addition, bodybuilders have to decrease their body fat in order for muscles to appear sculpted. See the analysis [[Analysis/StoutStrength here]] for more information.[[/labelnote]]

* ShownTheirWork: David paints a fairly realistic picture of what it means to be a female bodybuilder: the training and techniques involved, and issues faced (travelling long distances for competitions, the significant half who doesn't understand their passion).

* {{Prequel}}: This story chronicles the early amateur bodybuilding career of Webcomic/SatinSteele, who in her previously published adventures had already attained professional status. (At this point, Janet had not yet adopted the stage name of "Satin".)

* GenreShift: Compared to Janet's future adventures, her beginnings are relatively mundane.

* NoManWantsAnAmazon: Janet's boyfriend, Jerry. He's initially happy when Janet was toned, but has second thoughts once Janet got bigger.
