My all time favourite German Muscle Maiden (für die Erinnerungen)
She was on the cover of the first bodybuilding magazine I ever bought. This particular (UK) issue of Muscle and Fitness was possibly the first one I'd seen that had only a woman on the cover. And what a woman! I'd flicked through magazines in shops before, furtively ogling the female bodybuilders as the adrenalin rush that I have become so familiar with coursed through my body (and pretending to look at the training articles when someone came near enough to see what I was reading!), but I'd never gone through with actually purchasing one.
The sight of Anja's incredible body, ripped and oiled in a black bikini was just too much. 'The Madness' overtook me. I couldn't leave the shop without the magazine, or more accurately, without the woman on the cover.
Dry-mouthed and paranoid that someone I knew would walk in and see what I was doing, but compelled nonetheless, I whipped the magazine off the shelf and went up to the counter and paid. For some reason, the shopkeeper put it in a brown paper bag, usually used to hide porn! Were my intentions that obvious? I quickly popped it into my bag and left the shop in a hurry.
I bounced along the road, ecstatic. I was taking a female bodybuilder home!
That was the first, but certainly not the last time I walked home from that shop with a brown paper bag that contained a magazine with a pictoral of Anja Langer.
In the days before millions of images of female muscle were just clicks away, each picture of these amazing, completely unconventional-looking women was an event in itself for me. The fact that, compared with today, so many fewer images were available gave each one a higher value. I remember I could look at one picture for so long, committing every inch of it to memory, that even today, many years later, I can recall Anja's photos from that first magazine I bought.
The way her shoulders curved up and out, the way her abdominals seem to be pulling her tiny waist in, her hard muscular chest, the way her thigh and calf muscles flared out - all these details and more became locked away in my brain. When I got online and found pictures of Anja my reaction was that she was exactly how I remembered her - beautiful, gracefully feline, and covered in sexy solid muscles.
For my top German muscle maiden, I really couldn't choose anyone else.
Anja, Danke für die Erinnerungen!
And to my deutsche Leser, Danke fürs Lesen! And please get in touch at 6ft1swell@gmail.com or by commenting below, even if you only want to correct my google-translator German. But I'd be especially pleased to hear who your favourite German muscle babes are. Who do you think have I overlooked?
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
For the last time, Viel Spaß!
Great countdown swell, I enjoyed seeing your top 5 picks. I think Anja is a great 1st choice - she almost made it into my "Curves" post I made tonight. I really like that final shot of her in the pink with the trees behind her. Also enjoyed reading about the magazine! Do you still get any FBB or fitness mags? I've never read one but have always been tempted to.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your next post.

Anja is my favorite also. You don't really see her kind of development on women nowadays which is a shame because she had a mesmerizingly feminine musculature. Her smooth skin is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe next generation of german muscle girls is growing.
ReplyDeleteWait until you see pictures of my hard working wife
(i uploaded some paintings of her).
She bet me in armwrestling 5 years ago!
And i work out regularly.
Love,
