Meet the Swedish model and bodybuilder with 40-inch legs
Ia Ostergren was once bullied for her long legs, but after taking up bodybuilding she realised her pins were the best asset she had, and now she makes a fortune by flaunting them in magazines.
Swedish-born Ia, who is 5 feet 10 inches tall with legs measuring a whopping 3 feet 4 inches, is married to Swedish bodybuilding champion Torbjorn Ostergren and the pair definitely don't skip leg day.
Ia said she has always had ‘long legs and a short torso’ and that kids were cruel when she was young. She said:
Quote:When I was born my legs were crooked since they didn’t have enough room in my mum’s belly.My parents had to choose between bending my legs in place little by little or to give me plastered legs for a while, they chose the first option. I was bullied throughout school, not for just being tall or having long legs, but for being slim – ‘anorexic’, ‘skeleton’, ‘you can’t have kids’, and many more still ring in my ears.
Quote:With an inseam of 40 inches it’s a struggle to find pants long enough that also fit in my waist.I am a genetically slim woman who started working out in 2013 to ease depression, the physical part was just a ‘side effect’ but I am doing both mental and physical gains by lifting seven days a week and eating a lot – with long legs it takes a while to build visible mass.I am not on a diet – I eat burgers, fries, pizza, ice cream and candy like anyone else – but besides that I do make sure to eat a minimum of two grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight each day.
Damn, I wish I could look like that by eating burgers and chips!
