Because the couple that trains together, gains together. May 13, 2021
Brittany Watts, a.k.a. Brittany Flex, has competed in the female categories of the most prestigious bodybuilding events in the world, including Olympia Women s Physique. But while fitness is her passion, in an episode of the Truly webseries
Miami Muscle, she speaks about how she has experienced an array of gendered double standards in the world of bodybuilding.
For one thing, the prize money for a woman s physique show might be in the region of $50,000, whereas the prize for men can be as much as $750,000. Brittany goes on to explain that female competitors also face greater personal expenses simply due to the expectations surrounding how they present themselves on stage.
