Bakhar Nabieva is also known as "Miss Iron Bum".
She was born in Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan, but now she lives in western Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
Bakhar is five foot two and weighs 125 pounds....all muscle.
In 1999, "Samantha" debuted in WCW.
Of course "Samantha" was actually Torrie Wilson who would go on to work for the WWF/WWE and finally retire in 2008.
Before wrestling, Torrie won the Miss Galaxy competition in 1998 and was part of the Extreme Fitness Team, based in Orlando.
At the 1998 Miss Galaxy, she met Lisa Marie Varon who would go on to become Victoria and Tara in TNA.
March of 2000 saw the debut of fitness model turned wrestler Trish Stratus.
As a fitness model, Trish first showed up in the pages of MuscleMag International. then she got a cover and they signed her to a two year contract.
She did fitness modeling for about six months before showing up in the WWE.
And here are Torrie and Trish before either started wrestling, when they met at the Arnold Classic.

I haven't had a lot of real "muscle" here for a while, so here is fitness model, personal trainer, posing coach and UKBFF Physique Nationals and British Champion Ria Ward.
Ria is also co-owner of Built and Iron Sisters Prep.
I just finished doing a write up on the 2011 IFBB Figure Pros (like I did with the IFBB Bikini Pros) and in doing that write up, one woman stood out over all the others.
That woman is certified personal trainer and fitness and figure competitor Nicole Wilkins.
Yeah I know I just did a write up on her in January, but this five foot seven, 144 pound fitness beauty stood head and shoulders above the rest.
In 2011 she competed four times, and she came in first place in all four contests.
And two of them were the biggest contests in the world, the Arnold Classic (Arnold Fitness Weekend) and the Olympia (Joe Weider's Olympia Weekend).
This is the second time Nicole has won the Figure International and the second time she won the Figure Olympia (though not in a row, Erin Stern won last year).
Nicole was born on February 5th, 1984 in Royal Oak, Michigan and has a background in dance, cheerleading and gymnastics.
She fell in love with fitness and figure when she went to the Arnold Classic in 2002 and in 2007 she got both her IFBB Figure and Fitness cards... at the same contest.

2007 NPC Junior Nationals Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure Contest - 2nd

I did a write up on IFBB professional fitness competitor Adela Garcia way back in April of 2007.
So after three years, isn't it about time for another one?
Adela was born on December 1st, 1971, in Cabrera, Dominican Republic and then her family moved to San Juan, Puerto Rico when she was eight years old.
She played softball, volleyball, and basketball when she was in school. then started weight training at seventeen.
Before Adela got her IFBB pro card, she competed in numerous events....
1995 NPC Europa Sports Fitness Championship - 2nd place
1996 NPC National Fitness Championship - 12th place
1996 NPC Pennsylvania Fitness Championship - 4th place
1998 NPC USA Fitness Championship - 9th place (short class)
1998 NPC National Fitness Championship - 8th place (short class)
1998 IFBB North American Fitness Championship - 6th place (short class)
1998 NPC Junior National Fitness Championship - 2nd place (short class)
When Adela won the the NPC USA Fitness Championships in 1999, she got her pro card and went on to compete in many events, getting first place at the 2002 IFBB New York Pro Fitness, the 2002 IFBB Atlantic States Pro Fitness, the 2002 IFBB Pittsburgh Pro Fitness, the 2003 IFBB New York Pro Fitness, the 2004 IFBB Fitness International, the 2004 IFBB Fitness Olympia, the 2006 IFBB Fitness International, the 2005 IFBB Sacramento Pro Fitness, the 2006 IFBB Fitness International, the 2006 IFBB Fitness Olympia, the 2007 IFBB Europa Super and the 2007 IFBB Fitness Olympia.
But as the late Billy Mays used to say "That's not all!"
Adela took off a couple of years and came back in a big way winning the 2009 IFBB Europa Super Show & Supplement Expo and the 2009 IFBB Olympia.
So fourteen years after coming in second at the 1995 NPC Europa Sports Fitness Championship, she wins two of the biggest fitness competitions in the world!
This five foot one, 110 pound fitness beauty is amazing to say the least.
And I didn't mention that Adela was recently named number one on the IFBB's list of the top 100 fitness competitors.
In the 90's if you didn't know who Marla Duncan was, you weren't paying attention.
Marla was one of the first " fitness babes" that made people sit up and take notice that muscles could be feminine.
Marla was born in Fairfield, California, on July 19, 1963.
She was a fitness model and an active fitness competitor.
