Micola, she had the name "Buff Anna" in the videos she made with Musclegirlworld.
> Fern Assard had "huge" abs back in the day. And "huge" was her word. I remember one time she made a story on social media saying "check out my abs...they're huge!" Then she flexed and laughed. > >
Yes, Fern's abs were deeply cut. She wa one strong lady, and not all that big overall.
I hung out with Fern pretty regularly after meeting her in Vegas one time at the Olympia. Shot her plenty of times, and escorted her to other shoots. I measured her biceps at 12", which is pretty standard for chicks who lift, but I never really saw her lift outside of what she posted on her YouTube channel. I believe she could curl 35 pound dumbbells.
But yes, she was not all that "big" at all if you want to compare her to other bodybuilders. Despite what looked like "huge" muscles, she was actually pretty petite. One time after a shoot, she said she was cold, so I gave her my shirt, a button-down medium size dress shirt. My arms filled out the sleeves pretty well, but when Fern put it on, it was so baggy on her, she was able to wrap it around her body like a kimono!

I think she described herself as a "small person." By the look of her biceps, I have no trouble believing she could curl 35s. I think could do some pretty strong bench presses for a smaller woman. too. By the look of those dense abe, she was really strong there, too. I'm really surprised she never did an abs punching video.

If her YouTube channel is still up, you can see her curling 35s for reps. I remember this because she joked about "curling 40s" (40 ounce beers) which I'm sure she was capable of doing (40 pound dumbbells). She told me she "dabbled in anavar" and was able to bench close to 200 before her breast implants, after which she quit benching completely. I speculate she trained abs with weights to increase size.
