Pavla Brantalova

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pavla Brantalova is a female bodybuilder and wrestler born in the Czech Republic in 1977.^[1] She achieved acclaim in bodybuilding circles by competing successfully at the international level. Brantalova won the lightweight division at the European Bodybuilding Championship in 1998.^[1] She placed third in the lightweight division at the 1998 IFBB World Amateur Bodybuilding Championships^[1] and second in the lightweight division at the 1999 Jan Tana Classic. She competed at a weight ranging from 115-125 pounds at a height of 5'3" and was known for a physique that was particularly well-developed for someone of her age. At a weight of 125 pounds, Brantalova was able to bench press 180 pounds for eight repetitions.

In addition to bodybuilding, Brantalova has used her muscular physique and strength to pursue a career in submission style wrestling in which she wrestled against female and even male opponents. She was a small but surprisingly strong wrestler. AmazOns.com has described her as being "amazingly, freakishly powerful." She made several wrestling videos, once taking on fellow IFBB competitor Charlene Rink in a fight that ended in victory for Rink, and also worked as a session wrestler. Brantalova has retired from both bodybuilding and wrestling and now works as a nurse^[1] in California.^{[citation needed]}
