Jackie Koorn, also known as “She-Hulk”, is a physically impressive 34-year-old fitness enthusiast from the Netherlands. It is said that she has bigger biceps (二头肌) than Arnold Schwarzenegger did in his prime, 24 inches compared to 22.
Koorn has always been into fitness, but it was only after being forced to take a break from kickboxing in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions that she realized she was much more comfortable with a bigger frame. She has since more than doubled in weight, dedicating herself to building massive muscles. She feels stronger than ever, and despite getting called “fat” or “too manly” online, she only focuses on the positive and she encourages other people to do the same.
“What I do when someone calls me names like that is I delete the comment and then I block the person. I put no weight on negative mindsets, there will always be people that think they know better or can do it better, but this journey is mine and I will do it my way without the negative comments,” Jackie said. “Honestly if people are saying nasty things to you on your journey, just ignore the negative thoughts or comments.”
Koorn says that when she was doing kickboxing, she always felt strong, but also exhausted because of the constant dieting. Now, as a real-life She-Hulk, she feels even stronger, but also more comfortable in her own skin, because she doesn’t have to cut weight all the time. She just focuses on a healthy diet, trying to consume as many calories as possible during her bulk-up (增肌) period, and lifting weights to build muscles.
Despite the occasional criticism for her curvy figure, Jackie Koorn also gets plenty of compliments. But at the end of the day, she likes herself the way she is, and that’s what counts.
