My name is Alina Popa and I am a 26 yo Romanian female bodybuilder. My quest in the bodybuilding realm began 6 years ago when i first entered a gym just to keep fit. Back then I was dreaming to get visible abs-like all girls do- and also the vein on my biceps- like almost all of the average girls don't want:)-I managed to get them in 1 year, when I entered my first nationals contests, in 2000. Back then I only got 3rd in HW at the Nationals and placed 1-3 on various local cups in HW too. I took a break for 2 years just to return shredded on the National's stage in 2003, competing in MW. I got my first national champion title then. In 2004 I got my most successful placing so far, finishing 2nd in HW in the European Championship. This year I will compete again the Europeans in May and also in the Worlds in September. Wish me luck:)!!!
I have a natural disposition to grow-good genetics, inherited from my mother- as I have a wide frame that I am trying my best to fill with dense and round shaped muscles. I am still in progress that is why if I give some stats here they are only temporary. I am sure that next bulk season I will be bigger then 193 lbs(88kg) and 17 inches arms (43 cm). I am 5'7" tall (168cm).
Right now i am dieting down as I am 10 weeks out from the Europeans and I have good results so far, encouraging me to believe I will be biggest and most cut I have ever been on stage.
Bodybuilding has literally changed my life in a positive me: helped me be more disciplinated, know my goals, fight and work hard to achive them, made me more self-confident. This sport is my hobby and a real passion for me and I am fascinated how easy it can help me shape my body like I want.
I belive that female bodybuilders must try and combine beauty, feminility strength and muscles all together, to achieve a killer combo.
