Lindsay Mulinazzi – The Fire of Life


Bodybuilders have a certain reputation in pop culture. They are usually portrayed as dumb, vain, oblivious bores who are constantly flexing a bicep because they don't have any other skills. Female bodybuilders have it worse. They are seen as gross, manly, emasculating freaks that make everyone they come into contact with uncomfortable. Allow Lindsay Mulinazzi to change your mind. Ms. Mulinazzi is many things. Boring, however, is not one of them. Opinionated definitely is. "The perception of the 'female bodybuilder' is bullshit. For me, building my body is about empowerment."
For those who applauded the wonderful "#LikeAGirl" Super Bowl commercial, Lindsay "Fitness Inferno" Mulinazzi is your new favorite superhero. She combines the passion and discipline of bodybuilding with the eccentricity and creativity of an artist. The more you get to know her, the more you realize how special she actually is.
Mulinazzi's origin story is humble enough: she was always into athletics and begged her mom for a weight set in elementary school. She got her first set of free weights and bench in 6th grade to prepare to win the presidential fitness test. "I started training my whole body, and my upper body grew like a weed. I got the highest score in the school out of the boys and girls and received a plaque and a savings bond, which fueled my fitness desire."
