What got you started?

I was pretty young, around 7 or 8, and my best friend had a sister who used to work out. She was 15 at the time. She wasn't ripped and didn't have abs, but had huge biceps. I even got to feel them once and they were rock hard. I armwrestled her once as well and she just toyed with me and effortlessly put my hand down. She beat me with me using two hands as well. This got me started

That would leave memories for a lifetime

I must have been 10 years old or so, in the middle of the summer when nothing happens so the TV stations in my country run out of news to report on and end up re-using stories from previous years or just covering pretty much anything just to fill the air time.

On this particular day, I was watching the news and they reported on some kind of meeting of Playboy girls taking place in the capital of my country. Why that was newsworthy, I really don't know. But anyway the journalist spoke to some of the girls, and asked one of them what it takes to be a Playboy girl. She spoke about how you have to have a nice figure, to be charming, and you also have to work out... then she lifted her shirt and flexed her abs, before smiling and winking for the camera! I haven't seen that news story again, but it definitely lit a flame inside of me. The sight of that girl's abs made me realise that a midsection is a woman's hottest feature. From then I slowly entered the rabbit-hole, getting into more and more muscular abs, then biceps, then all body parts. If I were to see that news story again today, I probably wouldn't find her abs that impressive since I've since got used to a higher standard. But at the time, they were easily the hottest, most ripped abs I'd seen on a woman

Dude that's pretty fucking hot and likely woulda gotten me as well. Where do you live?

Also like that story :) I can totally imagine myself in that situation. Did you ever start talking to others about your muscle love? If so, when?

Yeah I still reminisce to those days, wish I could go back I heard that she stopped working out now which was really sad to hear

I guess that what got me started was the attraction towards girls who are physically superior than me. In fact, I was first (around 14-15 yo) obsessed just with girls who were taller, or somehow bigger than me (broad shoulders, maybe chubby and big but not muscular).But then, going through a lot of lift and carry material, I began to stumble more and more upon femuscle material (I believe the first muscle girl I remember drooling on was Mikayla Miles, and secondly the muscular ladies from Builtmore) and that led me to discover websites and images all over google, and then finally Deviantart for the 2d muscle heaven :D

My first encounter with really muscular women was in a car magazine as a pre-teen, 10-11 years old (it was not any kind of erotic magazine, but had three small pictures of women in bikinis on the last page. Two of the pictures featured skinny models and one three bodybuilders. I actually tried to find the magazine few months ago, but I couldn't. However, I am sure it is still in some boxes with old stuf. It would be interesting if I would recognise any of them now, since that was in a pre-Internet era.

What got me started was a Life Magazine article about a circus acrobat named Vicky Unus. She did a feat in which she held on to a loop at the end of a rope with her right hand and swung her body up and around her shoulder for 100 repetitions!!. Her record was 250 of these one arm body swings!! The pictures in this article showed her massive arms and shoulders as well as her muscular back. Strength feats always interested me and this example was superb.

I first realized I was into muscular people in general when I was a child, maybe ten years old. I used to play a lot of PlayStation, and at some point I discovered I felt a bit different when playing fighting games. Tekken 3, in particular, had King, a Mexican wrestler. I'd go into practice mode, choose one of the girls as my fighter and King as my opponent, and ramp up the training difficulty to the max. King had these delightful multithrow combos where he'd toss, bend and break every bit of the opponent's body. I'd spend hours watching that hot muscle hunk effortlessly humiliate the game's skinny girls.

As for women in particular, I think it started with Brazilian funk dancers. That's where the Brazilian fitness standard (thin upper body, thick thighs) comes from. As you can see, the ladies are strong-looking. It also helps that everything about Brazilian funk is highly sexually charged, from the lyrics to the dancing, and I was a hormonal teenager who got easily hooked. Still today, a "thick" body is hotter than a full-blown muscular body.

From then on, the internet had me embarking on a wonderful kink-discovery journey, and now I'm into all sorts of muscularity.

I think it was probably 1994 or 1995 when I first saw the "This could be your body" Soloflex commercial. It was the first time I ever saw a woman with a bicep peak or ripped abs, been hooked ever since.

Found it on YouTube, the girl on the first half is stunning.

I too was completely enamored by the muscular circus ladies. Way back then... that's just about the ONLY muscular females I could ever find.

The March 10, 1980 issue of SI. I was 9. Around the same time, a girl in my fourth grade class flexed, and a small bicep appeared. No looking back after that!

It started when my dad gave my brother and I a copy of Virtua Fighter 4 for the PS2.

My brother always picked Vanessa and I always thought she looked cool and I was especially drawn to her abs.

Fast forward to present day aaaaand now I have a thing for strong women with defined abs.

I believe it was Cory Everson in Hercules. Around 1996 or so. Some time after my father get internet installed, and at night I found a lot of women like Lenda Murray or Sharon Bruneau, and i saved their pictures on floppy discs. I still have these pictures today.

A long ago, I was looking for some workouts exercises, and this is how I've discovered Jamie Eason, then Michelle Lewin and finally jumped into the wagon.

I remember this commercial. I always liked when the green light was on her because it makes her look like She-Hulk ;)

In my case, it was on the 90s ESPN channel, there they played a program called AMERICAN MUSCLE, I checked the broadcast of each program as if it were religion. Beautiful moments.

I remember watching Chyna and Trish Stratus on WWE when I was a kid, as my transition into puberty started. Then around my freshman year of high school, I discovered internet porn, and then I stumbled onto two ladies named Heather Armbrust and Melissa Dettwiller. These two images are still ingrained in my mind to this day, and officially got me hooked into female muscledom forever.

I remember growing up my favorite commercials were for Bally Total Fitness.

For me it was this ad, for Swedish typewriter maker Facit, back in 1982. My father subscribed for this weekly news magazine here in Brazil and I used to browse through their pages when they were delivered. I was doing that when I found it. I was 7 in 1982, and I can surely say it has left a permanent imprint on my mind! The ad goes: "The strong swedish" and, then "Now, say if she isn't pretty"

I still don't know the name of the model featured there and I wonder if anyone would be able to help me find it.
