Fantasy Muscle: Power Girl

Post Author: Lori Braun Posted on: September 6, 2012 at 12:02 am

DC Comic’s Power Girl is a buff, busty and blonde superhero popular with female muscle fans. Born Kara Zor-L on the planet Krypton, she first appeared in All Star Comics #58 in 1976. Kara is the Kryptonian cousin to the Golden Age Superman and possesses the same strengths and abilities. She is essentially Supergirl of an alternate Universe, just more… developed.

On Earth-Two, Clark Kent and his wife Lois adopted Kara after she landed on Earth to help her adjust to life. She soon began her superhero career, but sought to distance herself from Superman’s identity. She took the name Power Girl and created her own distinctive costume, replacing the iconic “S” with a hole. Kara created the secret identity of computer programmer Karen Starr to help her adapt to life on Earth. She became a member of various superhero teams and started her own software company StarrWare, Inc.

In 1985, DC Comics wanted to clean up Superman’s long convoluted history with the series Crisis on Infinite Earth’s. Superman once again became the sole survivor of Krypton and Power Girl’s history had to change. Earth-Two was gone and Kara was told she was actually the infant granddaughter of a mage from ancient Atlantis. Thankfully, DC’s 2005 series Infinite Crisis restored her status as a survivor from Krypton.

Power Girl is currently a member of the Justice Society of America and appears in her own solo title. You can see more of Power Girl at your local comic book store.

Training:

For the time being my training schedule is like this:
Day 1: Chest and Shoulders
Day 2: Front Legs (Quads)
Day 3: Back and Abs
Day 4: Hamstrings and Calves
Day 5: Biceps and Triceps

I try to stick to this routine, but to be honest, almost every week is different from the other..
For example; I sometimes only do chest if I don´t have enough energy to do both chest and shoulders that day, and then add shoulders another day, or I make it 6 days that week instead.
It doesn´t really matter if I workout 3 days and take 1 off, or if I do 5 days in a row and then take 2 days off. It all depends on energy and motivation.

When it comes to female muscle, Venezuelan Betty Viana’s one of my all time favorites. Recently turned 40 (you wouldn’t know it by looking), Betty has won numerous titles since her start in 1991. Betty turned pro at the Central American Championship in 1997, and has several pro wins as well as finishing 2nd to Iris Kyle at the 2008 Olympia.

Amazing Amy

Amy Sibcy earned her pro-card at the 2011 Masters Nationals and plans on competing in the pro ranks in 2012. She did her first show in 2004, winning the overall in The Cincinnati championships and later that same year the overall in the Ohio State championships. She has been competing at the National level ever since.

With the the prospect of competing at the pro level in 2012, Amy has her sights set on 2 shows, the Chicago and Tampa Pro’s. We asked Amy if there was anything different she would be doing going into her first pro show. The first thing she mentioned is not having to make weight, which she is looking forward to. Amy is about 5’1 and will be about 150 to 155 off season, even at that weight she still shows some abs. Her goal in the off-season is to keep working on her back development, which includes the basic movements; pull-up and rack-pulls. On rack- pulls she usually works up to about 315lbs for 10 to 12 reps and on pull-ups 10 sets or so, she normally uses some extra weight for most of the sets.
