Not so long ago, bodybuilding was an exclusively male sport. Now any person has the right to do what he likes. Women are almost equal to men in this difficult task. In our article we will talk about 5 women who are indistinguishable from men.
Natalya Kuznetsova
Natalya Kuznetsova (Trukhina) is a bodybuilder whose appearance is simply amazing. The girl is 26 years old, but she is known throughout the country! Natasha is a professional powerlifter (performs in the category without doping control), record holder in the bench press (155 kg), international master of sports in deadlift (215 kg), professional bodybuilder and also international master of sports in armlifting - strong in all meaning of the word woman!
Initially, the girl came to strength sports to improve her health; at that time she weighed only 40 kg, but then she got so carried away that you can see for yourself what happened - now the girl’s weight ranges from 85 to 92 kg! Just imagine, gaining more than 45 kg of muscle is incredible!
Natalya is one of the few athletes who does not hide the use of steroids (but in small doses and only before competitions).
On our own behalf, we would like to add that Natalya comes across (judging by the interview) as a modest, even shy and very pleasant person who is comfortable being herself!
Julia Vince
Julia Vince is a “strong girl with a doll face.” The girl first came to the “rocking room” when she was 15 years old, and what brought her there was the desire to become stronger and more self-confident. She started powerlifting, and the results were not long in coming.
Yulia is only 22 years old, but she already squats 202.5 kg and deadlifts 165 kg. and bench presses as much as 100 kg! Believe me, these are very impressive numbers!
Julia believes that people live by stereotypes and believe that the female sex should be weak and fragile. However, the girl believes that a person can become what he himself dreams of, without regard to society. The athlete regrets that she did not immediately get to a good coach who would help and give her advice.
Caroline Wang
Those in the know call Caroline the greatest female bodybuilder in history. True, the only indication that the athlete belongs to the fair sex is the women’s swimsuit she wears on the platform.
Wang can also lay claim to the title of the most mysterious female bodybuilder. There is almost no information about her on the Internet. It is known that Caroline is 37 years old and is from Austria. According to some reports, the woman is married and has two children. At the same time, on the athlete’s own page it is indicated that since 2015 she has been in a romantic relationship with a woman named Patch Rosie.
It is impossible to understand what Caroline looked like before she became interested in bodybuilding: there are no photographs of her pre-sports period on the Internet. However, in the 2001 recording one can discern a few feminine features, now completely lost.
Candice Armstrong
Candice worked as a bartender in London for a long time, and later began working out at the gym. She came to the world of barbells and dumbbells like the previous girls - for confidence and was so carried away that she spent three hours every day on strength exercises. After two years, Candice was still unhappy with the results and began taking steroids.
According to her, Armstrong did not intend to look like a man, but the changes became so great that it was too late to stop (quote).
The facial expression and cheekbones became larger and rougher, menstruation almost disappeared, hair began to grow thicker on the arms and legs, a mustache, beard and sideburns also appeared on the face, the voice became much lower, and acne also appeared on the arms and in other interesting places.
By the way, Candice does not regret at all that she became a man; on the contrary, she is very proud of herself and she wildly likes her voice, muscles, and powerful breasts. She happily takes pictures and gives interviews.
Zhou Lulu
Olympic champion from China Zhou Lulu took up weightlifting seriously at the age of ten. The first striking achievement was the victory at the World Championships in 2011, a year later Lulu won a gold medal at the Olympics in London. The athlete’s best results are 192 kg in the clean and jerk and 142 in the snatch, which in total gives a fantastic 334 kg.
Today, at 29 years old, Zhou weighs 133 kg and is 175 cm tall. The girl can easily be confused with any male weightlifter. However, the athlete herself is quite happy with her appearance: she was predisposed to be overweight since childhood, and in weightlifting, extra pounds are more of a plus than a minus.
Anna Turaeva
Meet Anna Turaeva, 40 years old, five-time world champion in bench press. Anna trains a lot and sets impressive records: training takes on average 12 hours a day and six days a week - it was this busy schedule that allowed Turaeva to achieve success in the professional sports arena.
As a result of serious physical exertion, Anna's appearance began to resemble a man's. However, she herself does not have a complex about this. In an interview, the athlete says that in the future, most likely, she wants to find a husband and have two children - a girl and a boy.
Anna is not yet making more specific plans for the future and emphasizes that she simply does not have time for her personal life.
In addition to sports, Anna Turaeva has a number of other hobbies in her life: working as a coach for 18 years, active recreation (hiking), reading. She even writes prose and poetry!
The weaker sex: the shocking transformations of women who got too carried away with bodybuilding
Sometimes, in pursuit of an ideal physical form, girls get so carried away by the process that they miss the moment of transforming an elegant athletic lady into a young Schwarzenegger. In our material we will talk about women who overdid it with dumbbells and barbells, and now you can find out their gender only by looking at their passport.
Anna Turaeva, 37 years old
One of the strongest women on the planet, the absolute champion of Russia, Eurasia, Europe and the world in powerlifting and bench press, Anna Turaeva, practiced sambo and taekwondo at the beginning of her career, but then decided to devote her life to bodybuilding.
Previously, the native of Tuapse had a waist-length braid, she wore short skirts and stilettos. However, now, according to the athlete, this feminine image does not fit in with her appearance and muscles. The girl does fitness from 8 am to 11 pm and claims that she has never taken anabolic steroids.

However, now, according to the athlete, this feminine image does not fit in with her appearance and muscles. The girl does fitness from 8 am to 11 pm and claims that she has never taken anabolic steroids.
Turaeva does not deny that, perhaps, in a couple of years she will decide to start a family. In an interview, she said that she dreams of a son and daughter. Judging by the pictures that Anna posts on Instagram, her personal life is fine. The athlete is dating a girl, Victoria, who turned to her for advice several years ago.
Anna admits that she often finds herself in funny situations. “This is mainly connected with the airport, with toilets. When traffic cops stop you. Sometimes discomfort is caused by ill-mannered people who absolutely do not know how to communicate and speak inadequately. I try not to pay attention to them, but I can also respond sharply, putting them in their place.”
Turaeva now not only takes part in competitions, but also trains young athletes. “I have many male students, everyone treats me like a woman. True, some people congratulate me on both February 23 and March 8. It’s even very convenient for me,” she said in an interview.
Anna Kurkurina, 51 years old
Ukrainian athlete and coach, absolute world champion in powerlifting and holder of 14 records and the title “The Strongest Woman on the Planet,” Anna Kurkurina, as a child did not even think that she would devote her life to sports. She dreamed of working with animals. Having graduated from school with honors, and then from the biology department of the institute, the girl worked in the city of Nikolaev as a school biology teacher, and in her free time she worked as a livestock specialist. One day, small and fragile Kurkurina, who weighed 56 kg, decided to slightly correct her figure and gain muscle mass.
For this, Anna went “to the usual harsh rocking chair,” where she spent about three years. “Of course, my body gradually changed, became less feminine,” she recalled in an interview with Moskovsky Komsomolets. Now Kurkurina picks up clothes in the men's department, and underwear in the women's department. True, I had to give up a bra a long time ago. “My breasts look more like a man's than a woman's. On a body like that, a bra would look weird, like on a transvestite,” she says.
Anna lives by the principle “she doesn’t owe anyone anything,” and she doesn’t take criticism to heart. For those who disagree with her position, there are always two compelling arguments ready (and we are not talking about breasts, but about biceps). “I’m not crazy to consider myself a stunning beauty. But I’m happy with my appearance,” says Kurkurina confidently. Despite her brutal appearance, deep down Anya is very vulnerable. Like any woman, she can cry from a sad movie.
Now Anna regularly conducts professional master classes and seminars for trainers. According to her, she does not feel the need for a strong male shoulder.
The athlete is reluctant to talk about her personal life. It is known that she has a son, whom she gave birth to at the age of 41. However, she admits that it’s strange for her to hear that a woman’s main purpose is to start a family and become a mother.
“I am a woman to the core. And I pumped up my muscles so that not a single man could offend me,” says Kurkurina.
Candice Armstrong, 33 years old
Not long ago, London resident Candice Armstrong was a pretty barmaid with blond hair and a slender figure. Dreaming of gaining a little muscle mass, she decided to take up bodybuilding, and to quickly achieve the effect she began taking anabolic steroids. “I just wanted strong arms and broad shoulders. I had no goal of turning from a woman into a man,” the girl said in an interview.
Many hours of training and “doping” soon bore fruit - the muscles became prominent, but the body was covered with dark and coarse hair, the skin deteriorated sharply, the genitals began to change... It would seem that it was time to know the honor. However, Candace was so fascinated by the process that she continued to study and became more and more like a man. “My clitoris has grown so large that it looks like a small penis. It’s about two and a half centimeters long,” said the bodybuilder.
Now Candice is afraid that if she stops taking her usual steroids, her muscles will lose tone, and all that will remain of her former strength is loose skin. “I think it will do more harm than good,” she explains.
Armstrong does not regret at all the metamorphoses that happened to her. In numerous interviews, she admits that she is madly in love with her own low voice and steely muscles.
Denise Rutkowski, 56 years old
In the early 1990s, Texas native Denise Rutkowski was at the top of her game. In 1993, she took second place in the most prestigious Miss Olympia competition.
The spectacular blonde appeared in advertisements and popular shows, where she campaigned for “muscular female beauty.” Experts predicted gold medals for her at competitions, but unexpectedly she ended her career.
As a result, the woman developed symptoms of bipolar disorder, lost her hair and grew a beard. In 2012, Denise was arrested by the police, and law enforcement officers had difficulty establishing her identity. The man they saw in front of them had nothing in common with the passport photo.
Now Rutkowski travels around the United States on so-called “Bible tours” and encourages American citizens to read the Holy Scriptures more often.
Natalya Ogryzko, 42 years old
A native of St. Petersburg, Natalya Ogryzko is the absolute world champion in bench press and master of sports in bodybuilding. To achieve such an impressive shape, a woman has been training several hours a day for more than 15 years, eating right, and adding protein to her food instead of seasonings. However, looking at Natalya’s photographs, there is no doubt that she also takes hormones.
Finding photographs of a woman before she decided to engage in architectural construction of her body is not so easy. On Ogryzko’s page (pictured on the right) on VKontakte, the earliest dates back to 2012. Even then it was obvious that the active use of steroids had a radical impact on her appearance.
Along with hundreds of compliments, Natalia regularly receives criticism.
Under her photos on social networks, battles are fought every day between the athlete’s fans and haters.
Now Ogryzko wears a short haircut, prefers jeans and alcoholic T-shirts to feminine dresses, and does not use makeup.

Denise Rutkowski
Denise took 2nd place in the Miss Olympia competition in 1993 and retired from sports. The woman later admitted that she was “hooked” on steroids and, according to the athlete herself, over the last five years of her sports activity, she took tons of them, citing that without this she would not be able to achieve results in bodybuilding.
As a result of this, the woman developed bipolar disorder, her health was completely undermined, a beard grew, and she was reported to the police. It’s a pity that this happened, we hope she was able to recover from all the troubles!

Yaxeni Oriquin
Anyone who admires the body of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who will turn 73 in 2022, should pay attention to the female “version” of the actor and bodybuilder - the Venezuelan bodybuilder Yaxeni Oriquin.

Natalya Ogryzko

Oksana Grishina
Fans note that Oksana Grishina is a beautiful girl with a muscular body. As a child, the Russian bodybuilder did rhythmic gymnastics, until 2004 she “pumped up” her body for bodybuilding competitions, and then became completely interested in fitness. Oksana Grishina lives in California, produces her own line of OG clothing and accessories and works as a personal fitness trainer. The athlete married her personal mentor in sports, Boris Ivanov.
Brigita Brezovac
This photo shows an athlete from Slovenia. Brigita Brezovac in her youth was a thin but strong girl. To achieve greater strength and endurance, she began lifting weights at the age of 14 in a gym at her friend's home.
Seeing photos of pumped-up ladies on the wall, Brigita was shocked by the muscular development of these champions and decided to eventually reach their level.
Brigita loves nature very much; she has a beautiful garden in her yard, where she enjoys spending time doing yoga, meditation and reading books. She left her career as a bodybuilder and simply lives for her own pleasure!
Anna Kurkurina
Athlete Anna Kurkurina (52 years old) is often called the strongest woman on the planet. According to Anna, as a child she was indifferent to sports, although by nature she always had massive shoulders and narrow hips.
The girl was embarrassed about her body and often became a victim of ridicule from her peers. This is what she says about herself in her youth: “Small, frail, thin arms, protruding ribs, huge hips, and crooked legs - the “ideal” combination. How could you not have a complex?!”
Now Anna is the strongest woman in Ukraine, a famous and very competent trainer with vast experience. Of course, her body has changed, it has become less feminine. “Yes, I’m the strongest woman in this country - what else do you think I should look like?! Dystrophic with hands with chopsticks? What am I going to use to press the barbell with?” - Anna is sincerely perplexed when they ask her about her figure!
She is often mistaken for a man, but she is not embarrassed or worried about this: “If they say in the store: “Man, take the change,” I silently take it and leave. Why explain something to strangers?”
Lyudmila Gaiduchenko
Lyudmila Gaiduchenko is a world champion in armlifting, powerlifting and bench press. Interesting fact: in 1991, Lyudmila was forced to undergo so-called “gender control” to prove that she is a representative of the weaker half of humanity.
Andreas Krieger
Now Andreas owns a small store, and until 1997, Heidi was a woman and a shot thrower who was nearly driven insane by steroids. At some point, according to Heidi herself, she completely ceased to understand who she really was - a woman or a man. This drove her into such depression that the athlete even tried to take her own life.
Later she found a way out - and Heidi Krieger simply ceased to exist - Andreas Krieger appeared in her place.
Andreas Krieger is the former Heidi Krieger, a famous German athlete, track and field athlete, European champion in shot put. Krieger is one of the defendants and victims of a high-profile scandal and subsequent investigations in connection with doping crimes in the GDR.
Now Andreas is happily married and has a daughter, but he has completely forgotten about sports!
Alina Popa
Alina Popa was born on October 12, 1978 in a small Romanian town. By the way, the surname “Pop” is not uncommon in Romania and has approximately the same meaning as the Russian “Popov”, and not what you thought
