Women’s sports has been getting more popular every year, and we understand the obsession. These athletes are incredibly talented and are powerhouses whether they are fighting it out in the ring, on the court, or across the ice.
And the fact that there are so many lesbian and sapphic athletes at a time when there are still so few out men in sports, just makes us love women's sports more.
But beyond being endlessly impressed with the level of athleticism and talent these queer athletes possess, we also can’t help but swoon over their equally impressive muscles.
Muscle mommies are a thing for a reason! These athletes excel at basketball, rugby, hockey, and mixed martial arts in large part because of all the work they do to stay fit, including building up their biceps. Honesty, thank god for arm day.
Welcome to the gun show!

New York Liberty point guard Natasha Cloud frequently stuns fans with her game days outfits, and tattoo-covered bulging biceps.
Marie-Philip Poulin — PWHL
Marie-Philip Poulin is one of the most well-known women’s hockey players of all time for a reason. She makes history on the ice every year, but she also should be winning awards for her enormous guns. They truly are a thing to behold!
Hilary Knight — PWHL
Olympic gold medalist Hilary Knight isn’t just strong as the captain of the Seattle Torrents; she has the big muscles to back up every move she makes on the ice.

Sha'Carri Richardson — Olympic Track and Field
While many of these athletes on this list fall into the masc/butch category, Olympic gold medal sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson doesn’t just sport huge muscles (have you seen her arms and thighs?!) she serves high femme muscle queen!
Charli Jacoby — Rugby
U.S. women’s rugby star Charli Jacoby is a force to be reckoned with on the pitch, and her big biceps only make her that much more impressive. The fact that she’s dating Aussie rugby player Lori Cramer just means that you have twice the muscles to enjoy.
