Varya Akulova, also called “Girl Hercules” is capable of lifting up to 350 kg, while she weighs only 40 kg and she is the strongest girl on the world. This fact has already been confirmed twice by Guinness Book of World Records.
Varya’s muscles are barely visible but she has tremendous will-power, translucent body and thread-like tendons.
Varya says, “I wish I could be big, really big: 190 cm tall and weigh more than 100 kg, like my dad.”
Despite the daily workouts, Varya is a top student in her class. Currently, she is in 7th grade
