What got you started?

Dated a college cheer leader and she was ripped. Never had thought about it before. Then a couple years later dated a larger bodybuilder and she just had so much mass that I was in shock. Then just decided to stick with it and have not got any smaller than dating physique girls 150+ since. Btw, for guys who don’t think these girls will date regular looking guys. They absolutely will, not all, but a good portion of them just want a guy that’s nice, not a perv that wants to talk ab it a lot and is genuinely just a good guy

In the mid-1980s the BBC ran a show featuring Radio One DJ Dave Lee Travis (DLT) sitting by a roaring fire, introducing videos. Sound boring? It was anything but, because the songs were 'golden oldies', hits before the advent of the video era, so the BBC commissioned videos to be made to fit the music. The resulting videos were clever, surreal, funny, and touchingly sad. Some were brilliant, a few were predictable but others had unexpected twists.

most were pretty shit - but one had a female bodybuilder - caroline cheshire- flexing to the song," Bend me shape me " -wish i could find it somewhere

I remember, i must have been about 11 or 12 - it was primetime saturday evening, seeing this out of the blue sudddenly come on TV with the family all around, i didn't know what to do with myself, i was hooked for life

I remember her! She was something else. No wonder she started you out!

Actually knew and worked with someone who got into modeling and bodybuilding. Saw some posts and started looking at more and more and then stumbled upon this page several years ago. Absolutely amazing photos and videos.

I'll never be able to actually pinpoint my starting point to loving female muscle. My 2nd grade teacher had amazing, peaked biceps and was facially gorgeous as well. Her daily hairbrushing rituals were mesmerizing!!! But apparently I was already hooked, wired, to find her so incredible in the first place. Once puberty kicked in...muscles on girls literally drove me into a frenzy. I'm an older guy too, so seeing muscles on females growing up was rare and pretty much like finding a dragon or a unicorn. 🤪😳

So true. I think we are wired for this. It doesn't crop up all of a sudden!

I am not sure i was always attracted to strong women whenever i saw a movie or comic with women being strong i felt some attraction i associated women with power i remember seeing xenia onnatop in golden eye i was obsessed with her when i got internet for myself the first thing i looked up was bodysicssors and i found a lot of super sexy stuff.

Also i remember having a teacher who was not really muscular but had huge calves i really liked them i noticed athletic women had legs similar to her but even better so all these things combined caused me to get into muscular women.

@flexxxfan - I remember that show and that video to this day!

I was a sophomore in high school and I was looking up porn on the internet and. I was immediately drawn to an image of Angela Salvagno wearing a cut off white blouse top showing off her veiny forearms. The pic was mesmerizing to me and I instantly had a vein/muscle fetish and came to her picture. I have been a fan of female bodybuilding ever since.

American Gladiators was an early one, but about 20 years ago I saw some fitness women in magazines, a few online videos, and websites peaked my interest. The Brazilian IFBB scene really opened my eyes. I prefer fitness to bodybuilding, and growing up in the Chicagoland area, didn't see many fit women around this area growing up. That first trip I took to Rio de Janiero 7 years ago sealed the deal. I honestly can't even look at average females the same way, anymore.

@flexxxfan - I remember that show and that video to this day!

ha! crazy eh? id really like to find that vid - there's a few floating around from the show but can't seem to find that one

I was watching sport machine ads locking for tone body girls and one of ads was showing female bodybuilder on the stage and I was shocked and totally hooked with female muscle and the journey starts.

hahaaaa 3a ads for bowflex or whatever probably hooked a lot of us.

I remember watching cory everson's workout show on ESPN and having my first sexual feelings. my taste on women never was the same after that.

haha ye for me it was telsell :P with the ab rocket, and windsor pilates, stuff like that. I was probably 10 years old or so, it was on before cartoons in the morning. Before I had sex for the first time I thought porn was disgusting (I stil do sometimes xD), and just google muscle women to get aroused.

It goes wayyyy back for me. I have faint memories of being 5 or 6 and being attracted to older women’s arms. I also remember seeing early female bodybuilders like Laura Combes on shows like Real People and That’s Incredible when I was 8 or 9. Then ESPN came along and had fitness shows and bodybuilding competitions on when I was around 12 and I was hooked. I even remember when NBC Sports showed the Ms. Olympia. It was also a great day when I got to go to a bookstore in a mall and look at bodybuilding books and magazines, and I’ll never forget the first time I saw a WPW mag on the shelf-it officially blew my mind to find such a treasure. I’ll never forget throwing my collection away when my mom sold my childhood home and I moved in with my girlfriend. I had nowhere to keep them anymore. What a shame.

WPW was the greatest. Too bad that guy who financed it had to give up on it.

@footballman...I feel your pain. Long before female bodybuilding began, I had a collection of muscular women, when I was a teenager. I had pictures of circus women, one great photo of a horse trainer with incredible arms. Pics of Cindy Potter the muscular diver and even a few pics of my mom's co-worker, Lola, who had terrific arms. I smuggled the pics of Lola out of some pics from the Christmas party where my mom worked. My mom found my stash and threw it in the fireplace!!!! I guess a mother, seeing her teenage son having pictures of her co-worker...was more than she could handle. Also, from that moment on...oddly, Lola was never back to my house for coffee.

who was the guy that financed WPW?

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 a link to the video, the gorl is in the first half.

Did you tell your girlfriend about it? How did she react?

A short story I just remembered:

I once was looking at female muscle magazines in a store as a child (around 12 years old). I took a magazine and went to a spot in the show where noone could see me. At least I was thinking ^^ A female shop assistant came, took away the magazine and she was expecting me looking at playboy. And then was sort of shocked and it took some seconds before she told me to leave ^^

I used to look at the femuscle magazines all the time at airport bookstores

And not buy them?

For 3x the price? No thanks
