Russian bodybuilder Natalia Kuznetsova is turning heads online with her incredible before-and-after transformation. Known for her championship titles in bench press and deadlifting, Kuznetsova recently shared a photo on Instagram that showcases the results of 12 years of dedicated training — and fans can’t get enough of her jaw-dropping physique.
Starting her bodybuilding journey at just 14 years old, Kuznetsova weighed a mere 88 pounds. Now, after over a decade of intense workouts and competitions, she’s built a reputation as one of the most formidable female athletes in the sport.
According to the New York Post, Kuznetsova took an 18-month break from competitive bodybuilding but is making a strong comeback. And based on her recent photo, she’s as muscular and sculpted as ever.
“People certainly recognize me,” Kuznetsova told Caters News Agency. “You can see an athletic body even through clothes. A lot of people know who I am, ask for photos, and even call me by name.”
