Body Building Women Professionals

The growth of professional body building women has been a slow climb to the top. The reason for this is that body building was defined from its very early days as a predominantly male sport. If you look at the photographs of those who were prominent in the profession from the 1940’s through the 1970’s, the number of body building women is zero. (The only ‘masculine’ sport that women seemed to receive any acclaim for during the era was on the old Roller Derby circuit) However, the role of women in the professional ranks of body building has increased exponentially in the last 20 years.

In the 1980’s, the health industry saw a great rise in popularity. With gyms popping up on every street, the accessibility to become involved in body building was greatly expanded. As such, many women started to take up weight training as a hobby. In time, more competitive individuals emerged and professional body building women started to emerge on the body building circuit.

This phenomenon was examined in the excellent documentary PUMPING IRON 2, the obvious sequel to the landmark 1976 documentary PUMPING IRON. Much like the first film which centered on the (then) relatively unknown world of professional body building, PUMPING IRON 2 provided a unique insight into the realm of body building women professionals. From the success of this documentary, much recognition and respect was accorded to the female practitioners who have labored in the shadow of their more popular male counterparts for far too long.

Today, the body building women professional circuit continues to grow and gain in popularity. While it has not achieved the same level of popularity as the men’s circuit, it has strongly gained popularity to a degree far greater than what existed three decades ago. Hopefully, this growth will continue and the world of body building women professional circuit will thrive and prosper.
