Jeanie Welker, a 47-year-old bodybuilder from Seattle, USA, has experienced her fair share of trolls and negative comments. But that won't stop her from achieving her goals.
Jeanie grew up in Missouri, where her father was in the army. In her early twenties, she decided to join the navy and was lucky enough to travel to several different countries. Little did she know that her time traveling would eventually bring her to bodybuilding.
It wasn't until 1999 that Jeanie began lifting weights, during the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps 10k Mud Run. She initially laughed it off when it was suggested to her, but over time she found herself training and later competing.
Between 2008 and 2022, Jeanie competed in 17 competitions across the US. She won the NANBF KC Gold's Natural Classic Collegiate Women's BB in 2008, the INBF Natural Springfield Missouri Classic Women's Open Heavyweight in 2009, and the NANBF Natural Southern States Classic ranking Women's Open Short, Women's 35+ Submasters, Ms. Natural Missouri and Women's Open Overall in 2011.
Jeanie credits her success to her consistent training. She trains every day, and has changed up her training split, style, rep schemes, and frequency of muscle groups.
Despite her impressive physique, Jeanie still receives comments from trolls, who call her a man. She has restricted the ability to comment on her posts to only followers, so she doesn't have to read these negative comments.
Jeanie wants to compete again, and has some advice for those keen to start bodybuilding. She recommends starting with light weights, and learning proper form. There are many online sites that offer exercises by body part, and she recommends watching YouTube videos for training material.
At the end of the day, Jeanie is proud of her strong mind and spirit that her body now represents. She is her own source of empowerment and is not one to follow the crowd.
Jeanie's message is clear: female bodybuilders should never be controlled or limited by what men have told them. With hard work and dedication, the potential is limitless.
