Most research points to Peggy 'Pudgy" Stockton as the very first woman to show off muscles and be presented as a beach glamor girl at the same time in the s. Peggy was never a side show attraction, but was presented with dignity and featured alongside Steve Reeves and other popular male body builders of the time as a healthy and fit woman who could be admired for her curvy form.
Another name in early women's bodybuilding is Betty Brosmer, later to become Betty Weider after she married the bodybuilding guru, Joe Weider. Betty may have even helped encourage average women to use weights because she had the ideal female form.
Her hip structure is natures perfection, with a nipped in waist and round hips, any extra muscle that Betty may have added to her extremely petite frame could not possibly make her look masculine. Women could look at Betty and say, "I would like to look like that. The s was the decade that inspired female weightlifters to embrace their femininity and use weights to enhance their curves, but the trend seemed to cool down during the s, and it was not until the 70s that women's bodybuilding made a comeback when a former Mr.
Universe named Reg Lewis presented an annual male bodybuilding affair that also included girls during the intermissions. These women looked athletic and firm, but were in no way big or masculine as today's female bodybuilders are. They were all drug free and it was taken into account that they were women, and an effort to look different than the typical male bodybuilders was the goal. To the modern eye they look like fit women with a generally good form, but would never be considered bodybuilders in modern times and the extreme look and drug use that is expected.
In Britain it was another story. The Miss Britain event presented seasoned female bodybuilders who trained at least three times per week, and watched their diets.
Although these girls trained with weights and dieted they also maintained typical female attributes, but posed in the same manner as male body builders do, while in America the women were posing with open hands, rather than fists, and were not doing what is considered typically male poses, but more graceful and feminine silhouettes, while wearing high heels to enhance their femininity. There were numerous contests in the 70s, but most of them were additions to male bodybuilding contests.
They were gaining interest however, and by the late 70s there was becoming a clear distinction between a glamour girl contest and a physique contest.
They decided to battle it out in in what was called Best in the Word , where all the women who had been competing in glamor and physique contests would have a show down. The Best In the World contest of took place with a variety of champion female physique winners, strippers who had no idea what the contest was all about and a variety of women who appeared as though they had never picked up a barbell in their lives.
Many of the contestants had no idea what the judges were looking for and just went on stage to be cute. April Nicotra, was perhaps the most widely respected of the contestants due to she having won several women's physique contests since the early 70s.
Although she just looked like a very firm and trim women by today's standards, she was usually one of the more muscular looking women in the contests she entered. April was aware that contestants were becoming more and more muscular and to prepare for Best in the World, she had worked out far differently than she had in the past. Judges were shocked at the definition and low body fat that she presented in Most of the male judges were disappointed to see her usually graceful poses morphed into he man style bicep poses that Arnold Schwarzenegger was famous for.
She had also done away with her heels and hit the stage bare foot. The contestants who resorted to jiggling, bumping and grinding were quickly eliminated and the most muscular remained to the end, with the champion being announced as Patsy Chapman, a beautiful and muscular woman with grace and charisma. Serious women's bodybuilding was now on its way and the very next big female bodybuilders contest would be called Miss Olympia to represent the female counterpart of Mr.
Tostee was later acquitted of murder and manslaughter. Yet the obvious connection between these people is one shared by the vast majority of the Misc. Users of other Bodybuilding.

Miscers reveal their vulnerabilities and problems in earnest with critically self-aware, self-deprecating posts.
For many Miscers, undoubtedly, browsing those threads is either motivational or like looking in a mirror. Or both. It might appear counterintuitive that unconfident, sex-deprived, socially awkward young men would congregate—by the millions—on a bodybuilding website. It goes like this: A young guy thinks that improving his body will improve himself, that lifting weights will make him more confident, which will make girls like him more, which will make him happier, which will get him laid.
