Dream or nightmare – you decide. 17-year-old Russian girl Yulia Viktorovna Vins, or Julia Vins, has the perfect face of a doll and the body of someone who could probably beat the snot out of you. Julia is only one of many young Barbie-doll or anime-girl look-alikes, but she is the first I’ve seen with a competitive powerlifter’s body.

According to an interview she held, the beautiful girl never even intended to become professional powerlifting athlete when she first began working out – she was simply looking for strength and self-confidence. After seeking assistance in her powerlifting workouts, she excelled at the sport and is now preparing for her first competition in September. The female powerlifter has attracted both admiration and criticism, but this hasn’t fazed her.

“There will always be people who respect my choice or simply adequately explain why they don’t agree with it, but there is nothing to be gained by trying to defame someone who is following their dream.” I, for one, am happy to give her my respect and, should she ever happen to ask me for it, my lunch money.
