I was a young teenager and was looking at the magazines while my mom was grocery shopping. I saw Rachel McLish on the cover of Get Fit magazine and I swear to god I remember becoming a man that day. LOL. I remember flipping through the magazine and felling.....a new sensation. I bought it, took it out to the car and stowed it under the seat. Not well enough. My mom saw it and made me return it. I walked back to the store the next day and bought it again. That began a long tenure of hiding WPW magazines and the like under my bed.

My 6th grade teacher. She had a horse farm and there wells wents dry that summer. She said she had to haul buckets and buckets of water every day, all summer long.

The first day of school, someone mentioned her arms and she smiled and flexed. That was it, I was hooked. She was like 6'2, former softball pitcher in college. Probably weighed like 180 and her arms were HUGE. And to top it off, she looked almost identical to Sandy Riddell in the face.

The 1991 Ms Olympia was also that year so this moment along with watching that on TV put me over the edge.

I think the first FBB I remember being fascinated by was Clare Furr and Lori Bowen. This commercial sealed the deal.

When I saw Amy Fadhli on an ESPN show when I was in college... pretty much did me in forever.

I remember seeing an FBB for the first time in a Guinness World Records book. Can't remember her name, but the first one I can remember by name is Joanna Thomas, in the documentary Supersize She. From there, I evolved a love for FBBs and athletes alike, from magazines, to infomercials, to online videos. Anything I could find.

My 7th grade pool teacher was Susan Braumberger. She wore a one piece swimsuit and you could see her abs through the bathing suit. Thats when it started for me

Don't remember the specific catalyst but here's some times I was floored about muscle girls:

-A girl in my school that used to ride horses. Beat up a guy on a bar after he touched her butt. -fighting game girls: Blue Mary from King of Fighters, Chun Li from Street Fighter, Nina Williams from Tekken and Sonya Blade from Mortal Kombat -Beth Phoenix on the WWE. Mad strong and beautiful. She's still massive as a retired wrestler. -Tomoko Kanda. Fell in love after I saw some youtube videos of her working out and flexing. Sadly she stopped updating her social media but I managed to have a brief session with her on HerBicepsCam. Really kind and funny woman. She told me about the time she beat up a Yakuza guy for being a creep.

Back in the late 70s, when I was in my teens, I remember seeing bikini photos of Lisa Lyon and I liked what I saw. Then came Rachel McLish and I was hooked.

I remember there was a girl in one of my high school classes named Lisa Loya. She was on the gymnastics team and had decent bicep development for those days. I was totally turned on by her and I think she caught me staring at her a couple of times :)

I was also a big fan of some of the early American Gladiators like Raye Hollit and Shelley Beattie.

I imagined women bodybuilders before I even knew they existed. I drew pictures of muscular women when I was a kid, using my imagination of what they would look like. Imagine my excitement when I discovered they were real! For me, the fire existed before the fuel.

That's quite a story, HalfKorean. But, it makes sense. A love of women who are strong is very natural. Probably goes back to pre-historic days.

Jan 15, 2021 - edited Jul 19, 2021 - permalink

Like HalfKorean, I drew pictures. They weren't very good, but the girls always had thick muscular thighs, and those were always the girls I was attracted to in school. I also remember watching one of Tina Turner's muscular dancers on some TV special. I was turned on but too young to really know it. Then, when I was in high school, a local magazine had a story on how women were becoming a larger presence in local business. The cover story said something like "Women Muscle In" and featured a picture of a what was probably a muscular man's arm in a rear bicep pose with a beautiful woman's face in profile superimposed. I was totally infatuated with the picture, which looked realistic. My parents threw the magazine out when they were done with it, but I dug it out of the trash and saved it because I was so fascinated. I wish I still had it.

The real awareness came when I saw an ad for a female bodybuilding show on a Sunday afternoon in 1980. Two finalists included Aubey Pauluck (I think) and Rachel McLeish. They weren't very muscular compared to the most muscular today, but I had a blissful thirty minutes with four sexual experiences if you know what I mean, and I knew I was infatuated with muscular women, and I am fascinated with all kinds. Some days I just stare at Nathalia Trukhino and can't believe my eyes. Some days it is simply a lithe and fit athlete or dancer like Taneth Gimenez. Some days it is a woman with an incredible butt and sometimes it is a woman who is way stronger than you would think a woman could be. But always, always, it is women with strength and muscularity. I can't admit it publicly, so I guess I am still in the closet. Too old now to do anything about it other than GWM etc.

@Reggieiv ......nice story .....

Hard to pinpoint. Cory Everson in DOUBLE IMPACT left an impression. As a comic book reader, certain artists pointed the way like George Perez's Wonder Woman and Adam Hughes' Big Barda. On TV, AMERICAN GLADIATORS and the LADIES PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING ASSOCIATION cinched it.

I was looking up something that had nothing to do with female muscle, the Soviet space shuttle Buran. But I got off course and I ended up on a picture of a woman with big arms. I realised I was attracted to that women.

Oh man I remember the encyclopedia entry I used to look at that pic all the time growing up in my set

I remember being really young, like 7 years old, in a birthday party there was a sort of slideshow short movie, now that I think of it, it was a comic strip but presented as a movie, where some chemist become very strong by a tonic.

Then there was the Incredible Hulk show on the TV, and it always came back with cartoons like Tom & Jerry where characters become super strong because excersice or some tonic, and of course Popeye.

And then there was the infamous Benny Hill episode with the girl that as she got more irritated, her breast got bigger, until it exploded and became she-hulk.

This was like the first part. But I wasnt really into "muscular" girls. I become obsessed with big breast, and I also loved some big breast girls that also have some amazing body, and started to wank to that.

So one of my fantasies was girls busting out of her clothes because of her giant breast. It was just a step to replace tits by muscles.

I seek on TV girls that would appear in hot outfits, mostly regular models with big breast, but also bikini contest, and lingery photo shootings, and all that "wanker" stuff going on TV shows (I video tape every show with girls doing soft strip tease and the like).

But then in a Bicicle repair shop I saw I poster of some model, It could be someone like Rachel McLish, and become secretly obsesed with that picture and the fitness world. Also I the way from school there was a gim with some fitness girl posters, and I would try to stare at them the longer I could when I passed by.

Then I discovered Flex Appeal in ESPN and become really into that kind of girl, like Kiana Tom, fit. I become less of the "pretty models" and more to the fit girls that show their body on TV shows.

Also giant boob girls where a thing for me, like from movies, tV shows, fashion, comics, anime... when internet came, it was all I looked.

And then I stopped looking just for tits but for exercises bodies, and then it was there when I discovered real female bodybuilders, and it was kind of it.

I went from not so big and femenine fitness girls to beast mode girls, and poses like the most muscular pose become my fix.

Incredible stories from everyone. I might be one of the younger members at ~30 years old.

Was about 14 when I started using the internet, was using it to check out cheerleaders for NBA teams! One thing led to another from there. No magazines or TV shows, just the internet. AMG was my first real site addiction, followed by Saradas and eventually GWM.

I just remembeed something that happened when I was in my 30s. There was a slim gorgeous woman I had said hello to in the hallways where I worked--very hot. I didn't think too much about her until she quit and then came into our cafeteria at Noon on her day off. She had a bare midriff that day. And, damn did she have abs! I was hooked and things got worse when I saw her in a little market around the corner from where I lived. From then on, whenever I saw her, I went gaga!

Don’t have a specific event, but when I was 16 I had a huge crush on this girl at my school who was really athletic. She had toned arms and amazing legs. She was tall too. I would always joke around with her an I asked her out to the homecoming dance and I remember being amazed at how sexy she looked. She was really tomboyish and only ever wore the school uniform or workout clothes but she was wearing this high cut form fitting dress and heels which made her calves look amazing.

I had two other girls I was into in highschool and both were similar to her in that the had amazing muscular/toned legs, specifically nice calves. I
