35+ Pics of the Strongest People in the World, and They're Truly Massive

Some people treat their physical bodies as an ongoing project. Bodybuilders, specifically, make their physiques look like they’ve been carved out of stone. So what kind of work goes into these perfectly chiseled looks? What do the strongest people in the world have to go through in order to multiply the size of their bodies? Read on to see some of the biggest bodybuilders and how they achieved their figures.

Bakhar Nabieva

Bakhar Nabieva aka Miss Iron Bum was rather thin as a child but she's now best known for her incredibly strong lower body. At only 5'2", Bakhar's weight fluctuates between 115-125 pounds. She credits her figure to weight lifting and an abundance of lower body exercises.

Bakhar doesn't like dieting and even eats cake between workouts! Due to her distaste for restricted eating, Bakhar doesn't compete in bodybuilding competitions. Instead, she participates in bikini competitions and has used that career to build a following on social media.

Richard Sandrak

Richard Sandrak, aka Little Hercules, was able to bench-press a whopping 210 pounds at just six years old! Richard's trainer was his father and the pair would do daily workouts consisting of 300 squats and 600 push-ups and situps.

The bodybuilder's diet also helped build his impressive physique. Richard wasn't allowed any unhealthy foods and would eat just lettuce while other family members had pizza. Now, at 30 years old, Richard has quit bodybuilding and is interested in engineering instead.

Matilde Biagini

Matilde Biagini stands at 5'6" and weighs 123 pounds. The Italian beauty aspired to become a model and actress but all of that changed when she started to exercise at the gym. When the fashion world asked Matilde to change her muscular physique for a thinner one, she refused.

Nowadays, Matilde is living her new dream of being a professional bikini athlete. She describes her love for fitness as a "healthy addiction" and the gym as her "second home."

Julia Vins

Julia Vins, aka Muscle Barbie, started weightlifting when she was just 15 years old. Julia is a two-time World Champion and works as an influencer, promoting the idea that strong muscular women can be traditionally beautiful.

She evidences this by embracing fans' description of her as having the face of Barbie and the body of The Incredible Hulk. At 143 pounds, Muscle Barbie can bench press 385 pounds, squat 606 pounds, and deadlift a whopping 451 pounds!
