Claudia Bonavoglia

imagebam.com

The female muscle elevator selfie is most common in Brazil.

Or at least that's what our (less than comprehensive) research suggests anyway.

But even among the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of women showing off their gym-sculpted bodies in elevators all over Brazil, we've identified two women who capture themselves going up or down over and over again. In a land of shameless female muscle exhibitionism, they are even more shamelessly exhibitionist than most.

We've met Claudia Bonavoglia on FMS before, shamelessly exhibiting herself at the beach and, we surmised, thoroughly enjoying the fact that she was making just about every other woman on that beach look, and consequently feel, utterly inadequate.

Well, it turns out that the beach is not the only place where Claudia likes to exhibit that body of hers. She exhibits at the gym, choosing typically revealing outfits for her workouts (it is a rare day indeed when her abs are covered up) and making sure there is always a camera (and willing photographer) on hand to capture her in action.

But as well as the beach and the gym (where she has audiences), when she is alone in the elevator (apparently the same one every time - who wouldn't want to know where that is?!) she is a serial selfie taker. Claudia, it seems, just can't get enough of herself.

Never wearing more (as far as I can tell) than the minimum acceptable coverage, Claudia shows off her sexy Brazilian muscle body. She does close-ups. She takes a series of selfies in different poses. She pinches the paper thin skin over her abs. All while she gazes lovingly at the image of herself in the screen of her phone.

The Urge

Like I said yesterday, there are mirrors in there, and once the muscular women of the world have caught a glimpse of themselves, they simply cannot resist the urge.

imagebam.com

Nicole can't resist her bulging arms and shoulders.

imagebam.com

Figure champ Christine Baldridge knows she isn't going to look so lean and tanned forever, so while she's got those chiselled abs, she's going to take full advantage.

imagebam.com

Which came first for Janaina Pinheiro? I wonder. Was this selfie inspired by her bumbum and the flex was an afterthought, or did she start out with the rear bicep flex and then notice how enticing her rear end looks in those tight white leggings?

But there's no doubt what the lovely lady on the left - who I can only find identified as "Kayla" - was aiming to showcase. Still though, my overactive (and somewhat sordid) imagination can't help itself wondering if this shot was for the benefit of the lucky fella she was on her way out to meet, or perhaps the poor sod who had just blown his chance with her. Maybe it was just for Kayla herself. Or maybe she was thinking as she took it that her ego would be growing even bigger than her triceps after she'd posted it to social media, sat back and lapped up her followers' praise for their goddess...

And on the other side of the world, Yaroslava Nikolaeva may well have been having very similar, if not identical, thoughts as she went out/came home on her way to/from the death metal extravaganza and got excited by the sexy vascularity of her arms.

imagebam.com

And finally for today, a truly horrible shot by serial NABBA/WFF champ Daria Diossi. Or at least that's how it seems at first glance, with half of the picture taken up by the lift wall. But consider this - though the mirror was totally unsuitable, though she had to basically lean against the door to get the right angle, Daria still took it. She couldn't wait for a longer mirror to present itself possibly (if this is Daria going home) only a few moments away. She just had to flex and snap right there, right then.

Compulsion? Addiction? Madness?

More tomorrow.

Going Up?

And when I turned my head to see what the noise was, recalls Cindy, I looked down and saw the man had crawled his way into the lobby and was heading towards me.

He looked so comical down there, she continues, his tie was all askew, his knees had worn right through his trousers, and his tongue was hanging out of his mouth!

See, he'd followed me all the way back from the party like that. First time that happens to you it is a bit weird but... she shrugs, you get used to it in the end.

I always say what I said to him then, the last words he heard before he passed out.

"Going up?"

imagebam.com

For what happens inside elevators when the doors open and our muscle goddesses get inside, follow us throughout this week as we explore the (relatively) new phenomenon of the female muscle elevator selfie (clue - there are mirrors in there!).

And yes, we call them "lifts" here in the UK, but given that well over half of the FMS readership are Stateside, you'll forgive me for pandering to the majority.

"... you get used to it in the end."

Peaks Week: Split Star

And we end our week of peaks with just the one bicep and just the one picture.

There's definitely two parts to that muscle though!

imagebam.com

Suha Qasem, aka Unstoppable Beast, aka Sueperrstar.

This was just over a year ago, and Suha may have toned it down a bit since size wise, but split peaks and all she was judged good enough to win the Open and Masters titles at the NPC Grand Prix in Brooklyn recently, and I believe that means we'll be seeing those breathtaking peaks again at this year's NPC Nationals in a few weeks' time.

Follow Suha's prep on Instagram. You'll need to request your follow first.

Enjoy!

Peaks Week: Sierra Knows

imagebam.com imagebam.com

Sierra Mangus, flexes her biceps at last year's NPC USAs (left), and recently at the Europa Phoenix. Now, Sierra is an FMS fave, #58 on your 2016 Hot and Hard 100 list, and during her prep for the Europa, we've been glued to her impossibly lean and freaky Physique on her wondrous Instagram. But today's post isn't about what Sierra's got in the biceps department (hot and hard and currently freakishly vascular though they may be), it's about Sierra's appreciation of an altogether bigger muscle beast.

Ms Rising Phoenix herself. The Queen - Margie Martin

imagebam.com

Woooshh, commented Sierra after Margie had posted this "throwback" to her most recent RP triumph on Instagram. If sex could flex, she would look just like you.

And Margie replied. No Mama, you are the sexiest on the stage.

Have to say I'm with Sierra on this one.

Woooshh!

Peaks Week: A Wall? Are You Sure?!

Yvonne (or Ivonne) Wigueras (aka Wigueras Garcia) is the 2015 Mexican Physique champ who went on to land a top 5 placing at this year's Arnold Amateur in Ohio.

imagebam.com

Not the biggest arms perhaps, but they are a lovely shape. And she's quite a looker too. Is it just me or is there something of the young Annie Rivieccio about her?

There I said it.

Anyway, Yvonne tries her best to look less than delectable in some of her pictures.

imagebam.com

And fails.

Check out more on Yvonne's Instagram.

Peaks Week: Clip of the Week

So I'm compiling this week's posts and I'm thinking what I could really do with is a compilation of biceps - the finest biceps, you know - just popping and rippling. If only there was a brand new tip top clip like that out there. It would just slip right into the midweek post slot snugger than Aleesha Young in a dress. Or something.

And spookily... that's exactly what I got.

Gentlemen, the latest Ultimate Muscle meisterwerk - UPCLOSE BICEPS



Enjoy! (I know I have been - I mean, how can you NOT love something that begins with over a minute of Alina's biceps popping and rippling, and ends with two plus minutes of the very very best of Mindi O'Brien's two legendary muscles?!)

Peaks Week: Seeing Double

It's not easy to choose a single image of Katie Lee's perfect peaks, and I should know.

First I came up with a (not very short) shortlist, which I then circulated around the FMS office and into the inboxes of a handful of the blog's finest consultants...

Big mistake.

I couldn't even agree with myself - why on Earth did I imagine a bunch of rabid sthenolagniacs would be able to? Punch-ups (both virtual and real) ensued.

imagebam.com

If only Katie had been here to sort us all out!

In the event, the decision was taken by FMS editor J.J. Pennypacker, and involved him spending 72 hours locked in his office with Katie and her guns for company.

And fluids. Lots of fluids.

He emerged and announced he had found a definitive top 3 only to have it pointed out to him that he was only holding two images and that they were almost identical.

imagebam.com

Top 2 then, he mumbled, and away to the Priory for some quiet time he went.

Choose your own favourites on Katie's Instagram. Mind how you go though.

Peaks Week: Madde for Muskel

imagebam.com

Madelen Nilsson working on her left bad boy, five or six weeks ago...

Clearly, the effort was worth it.

imagebam.com

Above, "Madde" feels the joy of muscle as she shows off leftie and rightie during the Women's Physique posedown at the recent Tyngre Classic IV in Stockholm.

She placed IVth at the show. And if you would care to see just how dry a woman can get, check out her currently a thrill a day, sometimes two or three, Instagram.

Njut av!
