Hi! I’m Maryana Naumova,  russian benchpress-girl.

Usually,  they call me ”red bench monster” and “Barbell princess” in Russian strength sport internet forums.

I was born and now I live in Himki, small town bear the capital of Russia - Moscow city. I study in 12-th high school on 6-th level in Russian school system. I’m 12 years old. Since I was 4 years I engaged in spots aerobics.

My father is powerlifter  too. When I was ten, he took me see some powerlifting competition, and I tried to press something  there. From the very first time I pressed 20 kilos for 4 reps, and after that day I began to visit gym with my father.

Three months later I won the first bench press competition and I year later I pressed 60kg raw, which was the teenage world record. My personal best – 77.5 kilos raw, I pressed this weight on championships Federation of WPA in Moscow 25/12/2011.

And I’m not going  to stop. Now I am the world strongest girl and my next aim is to press 100 kilos raw being 13 years old girl.

I want to be Arnold Classic participant and to become a live example for all Russian children and teens, like Arnold Shhwarzenegger became once.

Also I plan to participate in body fitness. I like big strong bodybuilders like Loue Ferrigno, Paul Dillet, Ronnie Coleman., Dennis Wolf (he was from USSR). I know the Olympia directors also organize bench press tournaments and I dream to take part there and to see the best athletes in the world.
