What is the accusation here? I mean pic appears on the front page based on user interaction, are you accusing the site of fudging the scores?
I think the poster felt there was some preferential treatment going on, when in reality she seems to be the lady of the moment. Just seeing the number of notifications I get on new uploads of her is enough to indicate she is popular amongst many site visitors.
I'm "serious" about the consequences for the site if she did, but I have no reason to think she's planning to.
speaking of that topic. I'm curious what this site uses in terms of resources. Monthly bandwidth, disk space, Host OS, etc...
I sometimes feel a special kind of shame, for when I get on gwm, because I simply want to see "extravagant" bodies with huge curves (I'm a simple guy 😂). Some of us humans turn their bodies into art and I love it if the underlying aspect is big muscles. So for me it's purely about aesthetics, I don't care much (tbh, at all) for the competition aspect of bodybuilding.
Even though Vladislava is not my number one in the terms of freakishness that I love looking at so much, there are just a few things, that make her stand out, that is obvious to me, even without looking much at her pics. I don't know how much of it is super smart editing but it appears that:
These all are points, that make her stick out and don't even consider her muscles and the obvious work she puts in at the gym.
Okok, I see, I'm starting to write way too much, even though my point is obvious: She is an absolute beauty and she's got really big muscles. She seems to not be affected by PEDs in a bad way and manages to show a lot of aspects of perfectly "natural" beauty.
This makes hear appearance stand out, no obvious filler aesthetics etc... Maybe some of this even is a result of her not competing a lot...
Again, I'm not too interested in her pics, but it is obvious to me, why people like her pics. There simply is no other muscle lady out there, with this natural beauty aspect to her.

- She has flawless skin
- She has an extremely beautiful face
- She has perfect posture
- She is tall (at least above average)
- Her body is super proportional (long legs etc...)
- She has beautiful hair
- Her pics make her seem like a really cool person

^^Why can't the rest of y'all be more like this guy??
In a word, whatever she posts she’s looks elegant and despite her size and lack of breasts she has a wide appeal. I’m sure almost everyone that could get a picture with her at the expo went and did.
Btw out of curiosity I went back to look at some older posts. Pre subscribing, with the old rating system, Shannon Courtney has several images over 200 likes/favorites, and this was a decade ago. Her training videos and occasional physique postings did really well—the only thing stopping her was when she quit, but also when she decided she didn’t want to do the fetish stuff anymore and even her postings got rather dry.
Even when she went and did super league and those spartan races she was in crazy shape but rarely flexed. So like once in a blue moon someone like that comes up
To all who don’t believe she competed.. just take a look at her IG 🙄
I'm all in on the Slava praise too... her popularity here is well deserved. I want to bring up three other points:
1) She really INVESTS in her content. Her photos are beautiful. Her videos are polished. Her feed is expertly curated. She clearly pays a lot of professionals and she runs her modeling career like it's a real business. She's a proper IG influencer with big muscles. Very few FBB's are at this level.
2) As such... I really believe that she could be and should be the face of female bodybuilding. IMO she's as much of a star in FBB as young Arnold was in MBB. Her sex work activities might hold her back from this, but we're in the age of onlyfans, so maybe not? Either way, it's easy to see her being cast in mainstream movies and tv shows. She has the looks and charisma to carry it off.
3) In response to the competition question... I think the fact that she is not a competitor is a HUGE advantage for her.
PED/Steroid use is necessary and of course Slava is not a natural athlete. But there's a huge difference between the drug volume needed for her muscular off-season look and for a super-ripped contest look. If Slava stays at her current composition and just works to improve it little by little (more muscle, less fat over time), then she can do it safely and with minimal side effects. It's the bulking/cutting/contest grind that really takes a toll on bodies both male and female. It's the diuretics and stimulants that have killed competitors in contest prep.
It's a huge physical cost... and for what? To get a prize that's a fraction of the mens amount and to maybe get sexually harassed by the creeps who run those organizations? It's a total waste of time and effort, and I'm sure that Slava is making far more money and doing more for the idea of muscular women this way.
Yeah so in short... it's no wonder that she's the most popular woman on this site, as she's literally the best thing to happen to female bodybuilding in decades.
IMO she's as much of a star in FBB as young Arnold was in MBB.
She's about as popular as most fitness influencers like Natasha Aughey, Dana Linn Bailey, and Ida Bergfoth. I will agree that her content is what separates her from them, though. She delivers the goods. Ida has the occasional bikini video, but that's about it.

Respectfully, she's leaps and bounds past two of them:
Ida has a nice body but seriously shoots like 2/3 of her photos in her kitchen. I see her in person at my gym too. She's okay, but there's countless girls and guys at her level.
Natasha has been sort of a legend, but IMO has little personality. You don't really hear her speak. She has a much larger social media count than Vladi because she's an OG and amassed a lot of followers in the years when it was easy to do that. I think her "sexy" pics seem kind of awkward and forced while they're effortless for Slava. Natasha has just seemed stuck at the same point forever. I can only see so many photos of her deadlifting in a tank top with disheveled hair.
DLB is a pretty good comparison. I personally can't stand her attitude and style. She often looks like you put every Nu-Metal album into a blender and then poured out the contents and they turned into a woman, but I get that a lot of people who like Dodge Challengers and Monster energy drinks are into that look. I personally think that Slava is a lot closer to Arnold's level than DLB, but Slava's sex work WILL probably hold her back from real mainstream work. Hopefully not though.
One thing that is that Vladislava comes off as someone seemingly down to earth with a nice personality. She isn’t trying to look all aggressive and in many ways fits the girlfriend material category, which makes her even more attractive.
Beyond the quality of her photos, I suspect this is why she is getting all the attention. It certainly feels that every next new photo is of Vladislava, but we don’t choose who people fall for.

Totally agree. She's smart, playful, and fun.
Ida is that, but she's not on Vladi's physical level. Natasha is kind of boring. DLB likes to facially cosplay as DJ Pauly D from "Jersey Shore" and is way too much of a #bossbitch to be taken seriously.
Slava is just a total superstar.

She's aware of what people want and delivers product that people want, not just stuff that she wants to put out.
Natasha an dothers ask what people want to see all the time and do it for a little and default to their usual patterns.
EDIT: i edited this to remove potentially problematic comment
i mean if she's an escort (which is what I've heard)....
Feels a little like slander (no shade at all to working escorts).
Fuck (ignore) all the bullshit you ever heard on the internet. lol I think it's fine to say "I heard this or that" about a lot of things, but certain suppositions ought have a little more evidentiary backing, imo.
Am I the only regular GWM visitor who wonders why Vladislava Galagan is always featured so prominently on the front page of this site?
Is she the girlfriend of one of the site's webmasters? His sister?
I mean, she's a very pretty girl to be sure, but do her decent but not spectacular muscles deserve such constant coverage here?
I think not. What do you other guys think?
It's pretty simple. This site isn't just about who has the biggest muscles. Popularity is really about the total package (for most of us). There aren't many women that score as high in every area as Slava does. She's gorgeous, as in model-level looks. She's completely feminine, yet quite muscular. She's 5-ft-9 when 75-80% of the girls on this site are probably 5-ft-5 or under. She's not perfect, but she's a lot closer than most. She's also not a schmoe hater and has a lovely personality and happily indulges many of our fantasies. I mean, what more do you want?

Real talk. Totally agree.
I'm not sure if serious or your are trolling on your own site.
