This is a fact: Countries that are more gender equal = more girls in the gyms.
Scandinavia Central Europe. Canada.
Etc
When it comes to really huge bodybuilders there are just so few in every country that you can not really measure. For one huge Uruguayan you need 30 Germans.
I live in Stockholm and the level of muscular females is really outstanding. But you have to go to LA to stumble upon a 200 pounder on a regular basis.
Off course countries like the US and Brazil will have more muscular females in total than for example Finland. But per capita and women with more muscles than the average girl I would guess Scandinavia/Nordic countries will earn all top 5 positions.
The average brazilian is not fit, though. Yeah having strong legs is common (specially in smaller cities where people walk instead of driving) - but still they're usually a bit chubby.
I was always curious how Brazilian girls are so hot in getting huge muscled legs and thin waist and rather weaker upper body part. Why is this? I really like this development
I'm from Germany and I think here are not as much female bodybuilders as for example in Spain or in great Britain.
Probably due to Germanys strict drug laws and the "Zoll". The fear of getting caught buying/using steroids is pretty common, compared to other countries, especially not so developed ones (no front). And there are a few FBBs in Germany, but most of them are from "back in the days" and I rarely see newcomers. On top of that Germany is relatively old schooled and needs time to adapt to "new things", i.e. muscular women.
I am surprised no one has mentioned Scandinavia. A lot of the girls I follow are from the Viking countries.
Absolutely. Not sure why, but I guess because they have nothing else to do during winter lol. They only have a few hours of daylight and it's cold af outside. Solariums/tanning beds are also their favorites and are probably available in every middle- to high-end gym.

It's kind of a beauty standard: Big boobs (= implants, especially the totally round ones that look like spheres glued to the chest), small waist, huge butts and quads with a bit of body hair everywhere and extreme tan lines. I'd guess steroids play a bigger role in countries like Brazil. When searching for hashtags like "#sarms" on Instagram I get a lot of results from Latin America and they are relatively open about it in terms of consuming and selling.
I think there are a lot in Russia. Due to their legality of anabolic steroids there, the US has a lot in numbers, but that’s probably because there are just so many people in the US, the numbers probably aren’t that high in terms of proportion, but in a country of over 300 Million people, there’s a higher probability of running into one. Another one that comes to mind is Romania, they seem to have a pretty high number of muscular women, despite being a small country
Places like Miami, LA and Vegas would have the most. Go to crowded beaches on a summer day and you won't be disappointed.
-hot weather, little clothing -high level of entertainment media (i.e. lots of people trying to get famous, become models or insta stars) -high cultural value on beauty and vanity
In cold weather places where people are bundled up most of the year, there are fewer people who feel the need to work to get the perfect beach body.
That said, anywhere in the US that's not extremely rural has some seriously strong women in the local gyms. The more hardcore and expensive the gym, the stronger the women. Pretty much every small city has a Crossfit now too.
South Korea, most are in Bikini or Figure. But, the number is way higher versus other Asian countries. Check it out on IG.
Which countries have higher amounts of naturally athletic/muscular women (not bodybuilders or pro athletes)?
I feel like Brazil has to be up there.
Which countries have higher amounts of naturally athletic/muscular women (not bodybuilders or pro athletes)?
I think USA and Canada. Both countries emphasize athletics in high school and college. Also CrossFit is very popular with women. This produces many athletic women in general society who are not interested in being official fbbs but continue to work out to look good and as part of a healthy lifestyle.
I live in the southeastern US and I literally never see any muscular women unfortunately
The United States hands down.
Massachusetts probably has the highest per capita. You'll see them in a lot of places during the summer. Airport, Whole Foods, the subway, etc.
i have to agree! I read this post earlier today, went to a Lowe’s in MA, and sure enough I see this well-muscled female walking around. She was definitely a FBB - either a former one or just in off-season condition - as she had muscular shoulders, back, biceps, and calves, and the tiniest waist. What a sight!
