The episode of the Simpsons where Marge got ripped triggered the thought as to whether this is possible in real life, been hooked ever since
I remember that episode, classic.
Probably when I was a little kid and saw that Tiny Toons episode with the Female bodybuilders. That made a huge impression on me.
Real People, 1980. A jokey look at these freaks show, did a segment on Laura Combes. They got really snarky about her, but it changed the way I look at women forever.
Me too. I think I also saw some news story on Cammie Lusko. When I discovered WPW, it was amazing. Muscle lovers today have no idea how difficult it was back then. Getting tapes from Builtmore were expensive and time-consuming. Also difficult to hide. I still have a DVD of Carina Thompson, one of the first really large FBB I came across.
When I was younger I had a Power rangers dvd box (Power Rangers Time force to be exact) and the artwork on the cover featured the female rangers as muscular; got my attention instantly
For me, it evolved. Before puberty, I kind of like the way people in general looked with muscles. In the 5th grade, we had to go on a field trip. Once we got on location, a presenter asked some of the other classmates to help carry stuff in. One thing was one of those "Da-Lite" roll-up projection screens. Kelly was carrying it, and I remember noticing her biceps bulge and another girl asked her if she could take it, and Kelly says "You can't, look at my arms." I wasn't really "turned on" at that time since I was too young, but a couple years later, it certainly left an impression. Then, I got accused of looking at girl's butts when I was 12. I wasn't. I was looking at their calves. At first, it was calves and biceps. That was 32+ years ago. As I saw muscular women after 12, I was well aware of the attraction...

@untergr8...not sure of your age but the geezers in here of my generation, over 60, had it really hard. All we had was circus trapeze ladies, muscular gymnasts, although their arms were always covered in leotards. Maybe an occasional girl in high school, with nice arms. Getting a flex out of them was rare. We got the impromptu, accidental flexes, like brushing their hair or an exaggerated yawn, where they stretch and flex. In the late 1960s, early 70s, Olympic Diver Cindy Potter had very nice arms, thickly muscled but how often was she on TV? The seniors in here have the most to be grateful for. Women's Physique World, all of the wonderful female muscle paysites and this incredible community. Conversing with others, about a deep love for muscular females, something most of us kept secret most of our lives. This place is sheer heaven to me. 💪👍
It's hard to know exactly when. but i just remember at first being attracted to powerful female characters in cartoons .and muscular women in sports and infomercials when i was very young.
i was obsessed with how the legs of gymnasts and divers looked. i also developed a scissor fetish. from seeing the famous scenes with xenia onatopp in goldeneye .
while the internet existed in my childhood. we had to share the PC with my dad and sister .so i could not watch porn on it. but in 2007 i got my laptop that i could take to my room. and the first things i Googled where things like. fitness model strong legs bodyscissor .and i found it far hotter to look at muscular women than at regular women. i also Googled Pamela Anderson but i lost interest in her quickly .compared to the fitness models .
and then i got into bigger fbbs. and started to embrace my attraction to biceps and abs and feats of strength too .and i noticed a lot of people where into muscular women and mixed wrestling.
I don't remember when I first realized it, but I think my oldest memory of being fascinated by muscular women might be around age 7. It wasn't even sexual at first, just fascination, though I hit puberty at a pretty young age.
In my earliest years there were only 3 or 4 TV channels and only wealthy people owned a VCR, so I know that my first experiences happened by chance. By around 10 years old I was checking out the women in the muscle and fitness magazines at the grocery store like it was porn, LOL. I thought that I had hit the jackpot when we got cable at age 12 and I could see the ESPN exercise shows. My first exceptionally muscular girlfriend was at age 18, and I was head over heels for that stacked, buff and beautiful redhead.
I am kind of glad there was no Internet until I got to college. I can't imagine how often and how brutally I would've beat the bishop had GWM existed in my youth.
I realized it the first time I saw my best friend Patricia flex her bicep when I was 8 or 9 years old (she was the same age). I think I knew even before that though. I was hooked from day one. Once I realized Patricia not only had visible biceps but was stronger than me, I insisted on arm wrestling her, getting piggyback rides and cradle lifted as much as possible LOL. I wasn't shy about it and she usually indulged me though. I'm sure I got on her nerves at least a few times, but she seemed happy enough to wrench my poor little arm to the table over and over again hahaha.
After that I actively pursued strong girls. Came up with excuses to get them to flex, challenged them to arm wrestle. I've been doing it my whole life really. I quickly discovered that if I wasn't weird and creepy about it and made it fun and cracked some jokes, I could get just about any girl to cooperate, even complete strangers. Waitresses are one of my favorites, they are almost always stronger than they look, especially at any busy restaurant where they have to carry big trays. Plus they deal with the public, so they are rarely shy.
I can probably count the number of times I was turned down by a girl/woman I asked to flex and armwrestle etc. on one hand. Not saying I got every girl to go through my entire repertoire of tests of strength or anything, but I could get most of them to at least flex a bicep for me and armwrestle once or twice at minimum. I was pretty good at it. I should write a how-to manual LOL.
I'm Gen X, so muscles and strength on women was pretty rare when I was a kid. I remember seeing Lisa Lyon flexing in an issue of Cosmopolitan (maybe) in the late 1970s or early 80s. I saw Laura Coombe on Real People, like many of my contemporaries here. I watched Tammy Stafford lift a car on That's Incredible too. I was a teenager by the time Rachel McLish and Cory Everson appeared on the scene, but I was a fan obviously.
As far as what's changed, nothing for me. I've been attracted to strong females for as long as I can remember. Long before puberty hit in fact. For me it's the strength first and the muscles second. I love both together, but if I had to choose between a girl who was much stronger than me but a little chubby or a girl who was about the same strength as me or less, but with defined muscles, I'd take the stronger one every time.
Muscles are sexy as hell, but the strength they represent is an essential component for me. There's just something about a female who can surprise me with her physical strength that is scintillating to me. If she's proud of her strength or even surprises herself with it, it's even better. I also love when females are amused by my reaction to them demonstrating strength. The whole thing is fantastic.
Now we're in a time where women are freer to be strong and muscular than ever. It's almost like a dream to me. There are high school aged crossfitters who can clean and jerk more than 200 lbs overhead and women in their 20s who are like real-life Marvel characters. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd see anything like that.
I always did like muscular people. Watching anime gave me that interest. But one summer I found a vhs of a few men and woman bodybuilding competitions of all sizes. So that summer was a great time for me to learn what most young guys learn. Same year I learned I was pansexual. Great year all in all.
I remember having a dream when I was about 8 years old, in which a girl in my class lifted more weight than me in P.E. and it fascinated me. Then I started watching UK Gladiators in the early 90's and I was hooked!
One of the earliest memories of my realization was a kids tv series called little wonder. It was about a family with a kid living with a robot girl. She didn't have muscles. Being a robot gave her considerable strength and there are any lifting/ strength scenes in the series.
The show was called Small Wonder
Similar experiences as mentioned – Raye Hollitt and Shelley Beattie on Gladiators, Cory Everson in Double Impact stabbing a man and flexing her muscular thighs right into the camera, Linda Hamilton in T2 doing chin-ups breathing heavily wearing a tank top, the two bodybuilders on the satirical police sitcom Sledge Hammer flexing and bursting through their clothes, Kiana Tom in her bikini workouts on Flex Appeal, and early ESPN broadcasts of Ms. Fitness competitions with Mia Finnegan, Carol Semple-Marzetta, and Monica Brant.
There were also movies with women who weren't necessarily muscular but powerful, like Lucinda Dickey in 'Ninja III' (one of the best worst 80s films of all-time), Grace Jones physically dominating and sitting atop a panting Christopher Walken in 'A View to a Kill', and going further back there was Lindsay Wagner in The Bionic Woman overpowering men and their useless weapons.
***This is an obscure memory, but I remember seeing a woman sweating it out, doing crunches with a ripped six-pack (no pun intended), with some high energy workout music on a Coors Light or Bud Light commercial circa late '80s-early '90s. Does anyone else recall this?
Was this magazine a french magazine in the beginning of 80'? I perfectly remember this photoshoot
It was on an Italian magazine, but I believe it is the same photoshoot, published in different countries by different magazines. I just checked, the book was released in 1983 and maybe the photoshoot was published in order to promote the book
Ditto Rachel McLish. Veiny women hands have turned me on before I was 10 y/o. After Rachel, am a big fan of muscular women.
