I don’t think either Sharon Marvel or Paula Suzuki, despite their enormous size, could be considered heavyweights– they weren’t tall enough. I think minimum height to be considered heavyweight would be Christine Envall’s 5’4 or 5’5.

With that in mind, here are my favorite hevayweights since the beginning of the sport:

80s — Kay Baxter, Teagan Clive, Cathy Palyo, Hannie Van Aken

90s — Kim Chivesky, Tina Lockwood, Christine Envall, Ursula Teply, Christine Wolf,
Lora Ottenad, Paulina Talus, Nursel Gurler, Yaxeni Oriquen, Denise Hoshor

2000s — Kim Perez, Cornelia Brandt, Andrea Weston, Nina Loebert

Again these are only my favorites. I know, for example, that Karla Nelson and Nicole Bass were two humongous fbbs, but I didn’t consider them attractive, so I left them off my list.

During their contest careers Marvel and Suzuki did qualify, and compete in the HW class.

BTW – I wouldn’t have nominated them if I hadn’t checked the facts first. 😉 B)

To answer your question why only heavyweights because no one else that I know of has done something like this on any forum or blog and also because I can. I hope I didn’t sound smug on that last sentence.

the heavyweight class starts at 59 kilo…its called heavyweight but is far away from heavy :laugh:

the heaviest pro in the 2000s was jana linke-sippl with a (measured) competitionweight of 83 kg (185 lbs)…
(but i know knudle dont find her attrative) 😆

I will do that when I’ve done proper research for my list. I meant to say post by the way.
I’m sorry about that last post I made if, that’s what you assumed.

Is this by IFBB standards? I just checked their website and it clearly says over 57kg which is 125lbs if I know my measurements correctly. Jana Linke-Sippl more likely seems heavy in weight because of her height (5’7) but I might give her a spot.

I am aware of the Dutch female bodybuilder who won Ms.Olympia in 2001. She was around 140lbs so she was considered a heavyweight by IFBB standards.To answer your question why only heavyweights because no one else that I know of has done something like this on any forum or blog and also because I can.

Gina Davis, Colette Nelson, Amber Deluca, Sharon Marvel. I could care less what judges think. Those are 4 big girls that pop right into my mind. 🙂

thats the amateur ifbb standard…with lightweights , middleweights, and heavy….
at pro (if there were classes) they had only light_ and heavyweight and the limit was 59 kg
