This is muscle mom and three times Ms Ireland national bodybuilding champion Sophia McNamara.
Sophia is a female bodybuilder with a physique so beautifully muscled and fantastically balanced you wouldn't bet against her matching Cory Everson's record of six bodybuilding titles in a row!
Incredibly the 38-year-old mother-of-two only started serious bodybuilding training in January 2009.
By April that year she had won her first RIBBF bodybuilding competition and by May this genetically gifted female bodybuilder was competing at European level. She picked up a creditable 5th place in the mixed pairs at the IFBB European Championships.
Shortly after that Sophia was invited to star in a TV documentary about female bodybuilding and she never looked back.
She has now won the Ms Ireland national bodybuilding title for the last three years and, although she is being slightly coy about her prep and plans, don't be surprised to see her on stage again this year!
She said: “I first started bodybuilding in January 2009, winning my first bodybuilding comp after just three months of training and prep.
“I started going to a gym just to socailise but realised I gained muscle fast. I was asked to do a documentary for TV and so it began, haha!
“I'm prepping now as a goal to make more improvements to my physique but I have no competition in mind as yet. I'm always in shape but this is the best I've ever been off season, so I'm very happy!”
