Trish Warren: Women's Physique Powerhouse

Quite possibly pound-for-pound THE most powerful woman in women's physique!

The women's physique is filled with amazing athletes from female bodybuilders who were too small for bodybuilding to figure and fitness competitors who were too big for their divisions. There have even been bikini competitors who have been able to put on enough muscle to compete in the women's physique division. While we think every women's physique competitor is awesome, there is one woman who we feel once she gets that Olympia qualification, she is going to give Juliana Malacarne run for her money in the women's physique division, and that woman is Trish Warren.

Wife of elite bodybuilder Branch Warren, Trish started her career as a figure competitor. She translated into the fitness division, where she has had most of her success thus far in the IFBB. She is no stranger to the big time as she has competed in multiple Fitness International and Fitness Olympias. She even stepped back on stage after having a baby, which is an amazing feat in itself. After the 2015 Arnold, she didn't compete for a while. Then around this time last year (May 2016), she began to show her physique off...like a women's physique competitor. Of course most thought it was cool that Trish would post flexing pictures on her social media (something she didn't really do, despite having the muscles for it). It then became very clear that Trish was indeed switching divisions, heading to women's physique from fitness.

Trish was MADE for the women's physique division!

Her social media, especially her Instagram, became stuff of legend as she was showing her lifting crazy amounts of weight, amounts that even shook the most hardcore of Trish Warren fans and what would put some MEN to shame. Her insane training paid off as she transformed her fit and toned fitness body into a powerful, shapely (yet still feminine) women's physique look and placed 3rd in her first women's physique contest (the Arizona Pro). Since then she has only gotten bigger and stronger with hopes of bring an even better package for her next show. If you look at her Instagram, one could argue that she just might be pound-for-pound one of the strongest women in not only the women's physique division, but the entire IFBB. She just doesn't look powerful, her workouts are proof positive of that!

Branch is one of the most hardcore bodybuilders on the planet, but the way his wife has been putting in the work for the last year or so, it's safe to say that the entire Warren family is one BEAST of a family, and Trish's ascension to the top of the women's physique division is at hand. If anyone can challenge Queen Juliana for the throne, we believe Trish just might be the one to eventually shake the women's physique division to its core.

Could we be looking at a future Physique Olympia champion?!

Tina Nguyen: Comic-Book Body in the Real World

(All photos belong to the original owners)

Every single woman in the physique industry puts in the time and effort to develop out-of-this-world bodies. No one has a GOOD body in the physique world. They are either very good, great, amazing, elite...and then they are those who are beyond adjectives and are in the world of their own. Tina Nguyen is one of those women that comes to mind. With an Instagram following of nearly 700,000 and a Facebook following of over 50,000, Tina is one of social media's most popular non-celebrity personalities. There are many people that say that with her comic-book like proportions and stunning beauty, the Figure Olympia title is inevitable. But it wasn't always the case for Miss Nguyen.

Believe it or not, Tina wasn't always the living comic-book woman she is today. There was a time where she was a party girl and had a pretty slim body. Not bad, but nothing to write home about, and something that most would probably see at a club 11 out of 10 times. But somewhere along the line, she decided to give weight training a try, and thank God she did! Her body went from okay to va-va-DAMN real quick, and the followers came quick, fast, and in a hurry. She also started to compete in the NPC Figure division in 2013, and it didn't take her long at all to get that IFBB pro card, which she did by winning the Figure C class in the NPC Nationals the following year. She has since competed in the Europa Dallas the past two years (2015 and 2016), placing in the top five at both. Some said she should have won both shows, and after seeing who was in front of her, we can't blame them one bit for feeling that way. But placing in the top five in your first two pro shows is nothing to sneeze at, though!

Tina Nguyen as Kitana...FLAWLESS VICTORY!

While she has dressed up as Mortal Kombat character Kitana during Halloween (and killed it, BTW), one would be hard-pressed not to see her as Chun-Li. Famous for her legs, Tina could easily be the part if Hollywood were to ever do a legit live-action version of Street Fighter. But regardless of if Hollywood ever gives her the call or not, we believe that the sky's the limit for Tina when it comes to the physique world. She has already done quite a few photoshoots since being part of the physique world, and we only expect more photoshoot opportunities and contests for her in the very near future. The scary thing about Tina is that despite looking insane already...she gets better and better each photoshoot and contest, which is bad news for her competitors. Tina Nguyen on the Olympia stage at this point is a matter of WHEN will it happen, not IF.
