In this video, we’re going to take a look at the 13 biggest female bodybuilders in 2022.
Since ancient times, men have competed in feats of brute strength to test themselves and their bodies against other competitors for fame, glory, and wealth. Female bodybuilding, however, is a much more recent pursuit. Before the feminist movement of the 1970’s, strong women were relegated to side shows, vaudeville acts, and beauty contests. By the late 70’s, however, female powerlifting was taking shape, and even had the support of bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger. Now a major sport in its own right, female bodybuilders such as Nataliya Kuznetsova, Iris Kyle, Alina Popa, Andrea Shaw, and Monique Jones continue to lift weights, and themselves, to new records. Here are ten of the biggest women in professional bodybuilding.
