When someone thinks of bodybuilding, pumped up men with a huge pile of muscles (sometimes quite ugly) immediately come to the minds of many. However, few people even realize that this sport is gaining more and more popularity among women. Pitching girls sometimes gain quite impressive muscle mass, which is difficult to gain even for a man. The first official bodybuilding competitions among the "weaker sex" were held in 1978, where they were awarded exclusively for the degree of muscle pumping. Since then, pitching girls, like men, annually compete for the best body, because the Miss Olympia award is also designed for them. However, in addition to over-pumped athletes, there are other fitness athletes, who are often called “phytonyachi” in halls. Unlike the first, they strive for a toned and beautiful body, and not for the acquisition of huge muscle mass.
Everyone has their own tastes: some men like skinny 90/60/90, others like dumplings, and others like slender and fit “phytons”. However, you rarely see a guy who says that pitching girls are the very perfection of female beauty. It’s nice, of course, when your passion can protect you from the crowd of hooligans or stop the elephant with one movement, but what happens if you suddenly start a quarrel? And scary to think. Many pitching girls, in particular, tend to harden their character, which has already been proven more than once. Below in the article we will try to make a list of the five most famous female bodybuilders who have achieved impressive results. Well, let's begin.
To date, only one female bodybuilder deserves to be in first place of honor - this is American Lenda Murray, who received the title of "Miss Olympia" as much as eight times. With a modest growth of 165 centimeters, Lenda has 70 kilograms of weight, a decent part of which is pure muscle mass. Now the athlete is no longer engaged in bodybuilding, but still to this day, many consider her the standard of beauty in female bodybuilding. You can see her photo below.
Next up will be Corey Everson, 6 times becoming Miss Olympia. Interesting is the fact that she has never lost these competitions. Now she acts in films, works as a host in various American television shows and, importantly, maintains her body in excellent shape, at 54 years old. Photo below.
The third place we got is American Betty Pariso. Although she never once became the owner of the main title in bodybuilding, however, the fact that this bodybuilder is the oldest in the competition remains irrefutable. Today she is 57 years old. We pay tribute to this literally great woman.
The fourth was Iris Kyle, who won the title "Miss Olympia" for 7 times. Why is she not in second place? The fact is that 25 years ago, becoming the owner of a body like that of Corey Everson was much harder than it is now, because the secrets of pharmacology were not as well known as they are today, and there were not so many professionals to rely on many. Therefore, only the 4th position. Now Iris is at the peak of her career and wants to move on, helping women who have complexes about their weight and physique.
And finally, Ukrainian Valentina Chepiga, who became the winner of Miss Olympia in 2000, closes our list. This is the only athlete from the countries of the former Soviet Union who was able to reach such heights. Now she works as a professional trainer, helping others achieve victories in sports.
Here they are, pitching girls. Now we can safely say that not all women can be considered a weaker sex, they themselves have been proving this for the past 35 years. The pitching women, whose photos you saw above, are just one of the few, because their ranks are replenished every year, month and day.
