Previously featured on FMS as part of our Pic of the Month selection in May, Amy Neelands is "photographer, bodybuilder and rock 'n' roll hillbilly delux" in her own words, "an absolutely gorgeous meaty tattooed beast" to one of adoring (male) fans.
Amy, aka "Lil Beast", was almost completely unknown at the start of 2018, but has - first via her social media and more recently a couple of NPC shows - gradually worked her way onto the forums and into the collective female muscle lovin' consciousness.
That back, those arms and her "winning smile" have all been singled out for particular admiration so far, and then there's those pictures (often accompanied by really very sweet messages of love and thanks) with her lady. The skinny girl looks so happy, notes one poster. She takes THAT to bed every night, reads the reply. I'd be happy too!
The world of NPC Women's Bodybuilding isn't exactly enjoying a resurgence. On both the occasions Amy has competed this year, she's been the sole entrant in the class. She's also gone home with class wins in the Physique division at both shows - at the Pacific Coast Championships in mid-May she won the Overall as well; at the Cascadian Classic in Oregon at the end of that month she lost out on the Overall (somehow).
Amy got into lifting after gaining weight during rehab for a series of injuries she suffered while working in "loss prevention". According to Amy, this involves "basically chasing and throwing shoplifters around". I wanted to better my lifestyle and I knew some people in the Bodybuilding industry and they said I had a lot of potential, she explains. At first I didn't want to do it because to be completely honest I love food too much, but I gave the diet a try and fell in love with it the first time I jumped on stage.
Thanks to Best Muscle Video we can enjoy an interview and posing with a glammed and tanned Amy right after she jumped off it at the Pacific Coast Championships...
Ain't she cool?
"Skinny" may be happy, but Amy looks plenty happy with her new self too. Next, the Nationals. FMS, and the rest of her growing (male and female) fanbase will be watching.
