Female Bodybuilder Turns Heads After Sharing ‘Jaw Dropping’ Photo Of How She Looked Before
ssian bodybuilder Natalia Kuznetsova is grabbing attention online after posting a striking before-and-after photo that highlights her incredible transformation. Starting her bodybuilding journey at just 14 years old and weighing only 88 pounds, Kuznetsova has spent over a decade building one of the most powerful physiques in the sport.
Now a world champion in bench press and deadlifting, she recently returned to the spotlight after an 18-month break from competition. Her latest photo, shared on Instagram, showcases the results of 12 years of dedication and hard work—leaving fans amazed by her muscular and sculpted build.
Kuznetsova is widely recognized both in and out of the gym. “You can see an athletic body even through clothes,” she told Caters News Agency. “A lot of people know who I am, ask for photos, and even call me by name.” With over 198,000 followers on Instagram, she shares regular updates on her training, diet, and fitness journey, motivating fans across the world.
While many admire her incredible strength and commitment, her appearance often sparks mixed reactions. Some are inspired, while others are surprised by how her physique defies traditional beauty standards. Still, Kuznetsova remains unfazed. “I do this for myself,” she’s said. “This is who I am, and I’m proud of my achievements.”

Her return to bodybuilding comes as no surprise to long-time followers. She has set multiple powerlifting records, including bench pressing more than 375 pounds and deadlifting over 500 pounds—earning her international recognition.

The transformation photo that recently went viral is a powerful reminder of how far she’s come—from a lean teenager to one of the most muscular women in the sport. As she steps back into the competitive scene, fans are excited to see what’s next.
