((Author’s Note: I would like to give a disclaimer that this entire story is built upon a very rough understanding of theories surrounding genetics. While the events in it are likely impossible, there is some degree of possibility to it. Believe it or not, more and more studies are coming out claiming that the lifestyle choices we make can effect our offspring’s DNA – there is also evidence that environmental factors of various forms do as well. With that in mind, please remember this is a for-fun FMG story! I just wanted to try doing something a bit more ‘truly realistic’.
I also want to just state here that I do not do much speculation on technology of the future. This story goes into the late 20xx’s but I do not attempt to describe or implement technological changes. Like I said, this is not meant to be ‘hard’ sci fi or anything like that, just a fun exploration of a possible societal shift.))
Generation 0 – In the year 2017.
Part 1)
Alyssa sighed as she stared at her tablet’s screen. The sixteen year old was browsing Facebook on the living room couch while she half-heartedly watched a show in the background. She was primarily focused with virtually spying on a guy she had her gaze on for a while now. His name was Clint, and Alyssa was far from the only girl who wanted nothing more than for him to ask her out.
That’s when something caught her gaze. Clint had liked another girl’s picture! This was a rare display of affection coming from the otherwise stoic teenage heartthrob. Without hesitation, Alyssa followed the link – it was a girl from another high school, her name was Destiny, and she was the same age as Alyssa. Scrunching her nose, Alyssa began rummaging through her would be rival’s gallery – all of which was fully public for the world to see.
Within a matter of moments something strange immediately jumped out to Alyssa – this Destiny girl was jacked! In every image where she was showing skin, which was incidentally the majority – smooth, powerful muscles were on display. One image in particular caught Alyssa’s attention, a shot of Destiny performing a classic double-bicep shot in a tightly fitting tank-top. She enlarged it for a better look, and her eyes grew wide at the size and apparent power of the other teenager’s muscles. They were like small, feminine baseballs with a thin vein running alongside. What really surprised Alyssa were the comments being left on the picture. Lots of good looking guys were saying things like “Nice gunzzz!” and “sexy!!” – in fact, Clint himself left a message: “Nice work! Keep going, push it girl!” As far as Alyssa could tell, these comments were entirely non-ironic in nature.
Alyssa’s eyes grew wide. Not only did Clint seem to be attracted to this girl, but he wanted her to go further! After eyeballing the picture for a few more moments, Alyssa did have to admit there was something extremely attractive about the other girl’s physique. There was nearly no fat on her body, and it did indicate she took great care of herself. The teenager let out a sigh, she knew there was no way she could compete with this Destiny chick! Alyssa wasn’t unfit or overweight, but her slender form was far from muscular.
The rest of the evening Alyssa pondered what she had saw, wondering if maybe she should start hitting the gym.
–
The next day in class, Alyssa consulted a male student that was something of a friend. In reality, he was more of an acquaintance, but she wanted a second opinion regardless.
“Say, uh, what do you think about buff girls?” Alyssa asked the teenage boy.
He turned his head and cocked an eyebrow out of confusion. “Wha?”
“You know, like, girls with muscle.” Alyssa explained. “Not roided up or anything, think like, I dunno, gymnasts or something like that.”
He brought his head back a few inches, still taken off guard by the question. “I guess they’re alright. The ones who don’t go too far are pretty hot.”
“Hmm.. alright. Thanks.”
“What’s this about anyway, you going to become a bodybuilder or something?”
Alyssa shrugged her shoulders. “Just been thinking about what kind of body I’d like to have in the future, you know?”
“Right… I guess.”
Alyssa bid the dumbfounded boy farewell and contemplated their exchange. She wondered if Clint felt the same way. Regardless, this was enough evidence for Alyssa to make up her mind. She was going to start working out, and if she started to “take it too far” she’d simply lay off the weights. That same day, she made arrangements via text message with her older brother to pick her up late from school, and instead of focusing on class, she furiously began researching workout plans.
A few hours later, Alyssa was in the school’s weight room. To her surprise, she wasn’t the only girl in the room. Of the 17 or so students in total using the facility, there were only a few more male students than female students. Of those two other girls in the room, Alyssa would only label two of them as particularly muscular. As the teen snuck glances at the well honed bodies of these two girls, she couldn’t help but feel a pit in her stomach form at the thought of Earl preferring them over herself.
Alyssa kept to herself, trying to not draw attention to her obvious inexperience with what she was doing. It was difficult to properly follow the directions on her phone, but through determination, Alyssa managed. Before long, she had completed a full day of lower body weight training, albeit with less resistance than she would have wanted.
–
The next few weeks passed without much note. Alyssa stuck with her training regiment, attending the weight room every other schooldays – leading to to workout Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. This routine rendered the teenager extremely sore and hungry. Despite her tendencies to avoid stuffing her face full of food, Alyssa relented and kept herself well fed. The young woman was unsure if she was really accomplishing much, but on the third week she noticed that all of her lifts had increased.
Alyssa continued following her routine. She noticed that before long she had more energy, and overall her mind felt a bit clearer than usual. This encouraged the young woman to continue training.
One month after starting to weight train, Alyssa noticed something peculiar in the mirror – she had definition in her midsection! Honest to goodness lines of power! She ran her fingers over the exposed skin, feeling each contour and imagining the burgeoning muscles underneath. The teen flexed her arms, causing a noticeable rise to pop up. It was happening! She was developing muscles! Visibly seeing this progress caused Alyssa’s confidence to surge, and she redoubled her efforts.
From that fateful day forward, Alyssa began dedicating a small portion of her day towards researching how to improve herself further. She changed her diet, setup nutrient efficient ‘macros’ and even started learning how to cook in order to make sure she got the food she needed. Her changes impressed her parents, whop were glad to let their daughter start cooking lean chicken breast and vegetables en masse.
The mental changes Alyssa experienced earlier continued to ramp up, and before long she reached a state of confidence and mental clarity that she wouldn’t have been able to envision when she first started working out. Alyssa was feeling great, and it was just a matter of time before even Clint would have to see how awesome she was!
Part 2)
Two months after Alyssa began weight training
Alyssa couldn’t believe that the girl staring back in the mirror was her! She flexed her arms and a pair of beefy arms surged up! She could have given the non-athlete guys in her school a run for their money with her guns. Her midsection in particular was especially impressive, as a light, feminine six-pack was fully visible at all times, and if Alyssa flexed, the muscles popped out even further!
In the weight room, she was now essentially on par with the girls who initially intimidated her with their physiques. She was surging with confidence, and regularly receiving compliments. Better yet, it Spring had returned, allowing her to comfortably wear tank tops and short shorts to flaunt her hard earned body.
Life was good for Alyssa. She was ready to try to force her way into Clint’s life if that’s what it took. She was ready that is, until she browsed Facebook that evening. In her room on her trusty tablet, she noticed a heart notification on her news feed, indicating that someone had just entered or exited a romance.
A pit formed in Alyssa’s stomach and a chill ran down her spine – the announcement said Clint had started a relationship. Without even looking, Alyssa immediately knew that it had to be that girl Destiny. A few seconds later, she had confirmed this. “Dammit…” she uttered under her breath. “All that work for nothing.” she thought. As she looked at the latest picture Destiny had put up, it was the girl wearing nothing more than a bikini, fully showcasing her body. To Alyssa’s despair, Destiny had become slightly larger and more muscular in the past couple of months!
Alyssa let out a sigh of despair and quickly closed out her internet browser. She wondered what she’d do next. Was there even a point to continue pumping her body’s muscles up every other day? To continue following this strict diet? To continue alienating some of her jealous friends? It’s not like she would be able to win Clint over anytime soon, especially not with Destiny also continuing to ramp her own fitness up.
“This sucks.” she huffed before turning the tablet off and tossing it onto her bed. Her frustrating mounting, she balled her fist and punched the bed, her fairly powerful arm denting the soft surface. The motion felt good. She decided to let off some steam and dropped to the ground before starting to crank out some push ups. Despite her fairly high level of strength for a girl her age, it was still a difficult motion to complete. After a few dozen push ups, her arms gave out. Still frustrated, the teenager headed outside and began to aimlessly run.
As Alyssa ran down the street, she felt the familiar flood of endorphins release through her bloodstream. It was an amazing sensation, and helped her care less about Clint’s newfound love. Alyssa ran and ran, and the further she went, the less she cared about Clint at all. Before long, she started realizing that maybe he wasn’t all that great anyway. Maybe that Destiny chick was a better catch than her, but she’d push herself to make Destiny look out of shape in comparison!
The miles continued to mount, and exhaustion began to creep in. Alyssa began heading home.
Thoroughly in the midst of a “runner’s high” she eventually decided she didn’t even care about competing with Destiny. She decided that she didn’t care about impressing random guys – although their attention was a nice side effect. Alyssa determined that she was going to keep lifting and to keep pushing herself for the sole sake of bettering Alyssa!
–
Alyssa continued pushing her body, but found that she didn’t build muscle and strength at nearly as rapid a pace as during the initial two months. Despite some initial disappointment from not progressing as quickly as she had before, Alyssa enjoyed the empowering feeling of pumping her muscles up and the flood of endorphins each workout granted. She began incorporating more running in her routing, giving her another outlet for any lingering frustrations while slowly building up her endurance.
–
By the time summer came around, Alyssa was more than ready to flaunt her tight, powerful form on the beach. She bought the skimpiest bikini she had worn to date and spent as many lazy afternoons by the ocean as possible. Her tight, powerful body attracted the gaze of many other beach-goers, both male and female. Some of them seemed somewhat offput by her muscular form, but the majority seemed to either be oogling or admiring.
To Alyssa’s surprise, there were quite a few other fit females on the beach as well. Some of them were even larger and more muscular than she, which inspired Alyssa to push herself further in her training. She longed to have powerful balls for biceps, a wide back, and trunk-like quads.
During this time away from school, Alyssa no longer had access to the school gym, so she had to join a local establishment. In the gym near her house she saw a couple women in their 20s and 30s who Alyssa would have believed if they said they were training for a fitness or physique competition. For the most part however, the free weight area was primarily dominated by men, and the majority of women in the gym were there for cardio or to use the weight machines.
After receiving a critical mass of compliments on her Facebook posts, Alyssa opened up an Instagram account almost exclusively related to her fitness. She began posting pictures of herself, usually flexing or showing off her progress. At first, only some of her friends (and some admiring male classmates) followed , but a few weeks after creating the account, she received a few dozen followers she didn’t recognize – primarily male voyeurs and other fit women looking for inspiration and return follows.
Eventually summer came to its close. During August Alyssa turned 17, and she was well prepared to enter her senior year of high school. September had been a fairly quiet month for the teenager. Her lifts improved slightly, and she gained a small amount of muscle, in addition to some more Instagram followers.
During October, Alyssa began realizing the sheer amount of attention she was receiving from the boys in her classes. Many of them were her type as well. Clint was still happily with Destiny as far as she could tell. Before the end of October, Alyssa decided to start a romance with the next hunkiest guy after Clint.
Life was good for Alyssa. By early December, she had breached the 1,000 follower mark on Instagram. She had maintained her fitness despite the cold weather, and was ever so slowly inching closer towards the ambiguous goal she had in mind. To her surprise, her boyfriend was pretty receptive to her training – although she could tell that he primarily liked the way squatting had treated her bottom, and didn’t care too much about her cut upper body.
Part 3) The year 2018
Today marked the one year anniversary of Alyssa’s weight training journey. She stared at her naked in her bedroom’s full length mirror and couldn’t help but smirk somewhat narcissistically. Every powerful muscle on her frame stood at the utmost attention. Her rigid six-pack had matching obliques and serratus anterior on the sides, sitting on top of a cut Adonis belt. She flexed her arms, and cooed slightly at the twin globes of power that popped up. On a whim, she decided to grab a nearby measuring tape, wrapped it around her arm and flexed. She measured in at just a hair above 13 inches. A massive grin met Alsysa’s face before she grabbed her smartphone and after some finagling managed to snap a self-shot of the measuring tape around her arm.
Alyssa uploaded the image for the viewing pleasure of the now 3,000 watchers following her account. Within a matter of moments she received notification of comments and people adding the picture to her favorites. While Alyssa would never admit it, she definitely craved the attention and affirmation that all of the feedback provided her.
The weather was nice, and Alyssa decided to wear a tank-top and shorts to school. As she had come to expect, necks turned as classmates and teachers of both genders wanted to take a look at the girl who was well on her way to becoming a fitness model if she wanted to. That day, at lunch, something strange happened. One of the junior boys began making disparaging remarks about Alyssa’s muscular body and went so far as to challenge her to an arm-wrestling match.
Unsure of what to do, Alyssa accepted. A small crowd gathered, and despite her best efforts, the boy eventually won the competition. It was somewhat upsetting to Alyssa to lose despite spending so much time improving her strength. Regardless, the boy had inadvertently given himself a reputation for going out of his way to beat a girl at arm-wrestling.
While the arm-wrestling match in itself was unmemorable, it was the first time someone had directly disparaged Alyssa in regards to the muscles she had built. The event had opened Alyssa’s eyes somewhat – while most of the people she interacted with were positive about her choices, there were quite a few individuals out there who found her efforts repulsive.
Before allowing herself to dwell on this for too long she snuck a glance at her phone during class and read over the small sea of comments on her Instagram photos from random men on the internet who wished she was theirs.
The rest of the school year passed at a surprisingly fast pace for Alyssa. She remained in a relationship with the same boy for the remainder of the year, going so far as to attend prom with him. In her dress, her relatively wide back, capped shoulders and bulging arms presented themselves for the world to see. She was, as far as she could tell, the most muscular girl in the room, although a few of her female classmates were quite toned themselves. While Alyssa enjoyed herself for the most part, she couldn’t shake the feeling that her date averted his gaze somewhat from the sight of her arms.
Before long another summer approached. Alyssa was accepted to the state’s university, while her boyfriend was set to attend an out of state school. Her body was visibly more muscular than the previous year she attended the beach, and she noticed that even more heads were craning to catch a glance at her. While the majority of the onlookers seemed to enjoy what they saw, Alyssa overheard more than a few mutter that she had taken things too far and was beginning to look ‘manly’. Despite the smattering of naysayers, Alyssa had determined that building her body was too beneficial and downright fun to stop.
Part 4) Late 2018
Alyssa adjusted to college life rather easily. As a pretty, energetic, fit and generally cheerful girl, it was easy for her to enter multiple social circles and make new friends. While many of Alyssa’s classmates began packing on the “freshmen 15”, this college freshmen was hard at work towards gaining her own 15 – albeit muscle instead of fat. The campus’s gym was similar to her high school in that there were a surprising number of women using the free weights, but the majority was still possessed by the male population.
Despite her best efforts to maintain her romantic relationship from high school, within a matter of weeks it quickly became apparent to both Alyssa and her boyfriend that things probably weren’t going to last. The distance was a big problem, and after being apart for a while and seeing the wide variety of other options, both of the young adults realized that maybe they weren’t really meant for one another. While neither one of them would ever admit it, one of the largest issues was ultimately Alyssa’s physique: Alyssa wanted someone who would truly appreciate her efforts, while he wished for her to start possibly scaling things back.
Before September came to its end, Alyssa was single once more. She was becoming something of a very minor celebrity in the Instagram fitness sphere, finally surpassing the 10,000 follower mark. Shady startups were now approaching her to advertise their products, offering a small cut of the profits if anyone made purchases with the discount codes she provided. Alyssa didn’t care to peddle goods, but she was short on cash, and accepted the more reasonable of the offers. Only a very small number of her viewers ultimately referred her, but some money was better than nothing.
By the end of October, Alyssa began feeling somewhat lonely again. She started putting herself out in the open and attracted a great deal of male attention. Over the next few months she engaged in a few casual flings, but nothing that lasted more than a couple weeks at most. Despite the attention she did receive, there were quite a few men she had scared off with her musculature and confidence.
During the middle of the second semester, Alyssa began to notice the difference between herself and her dormmates that didn’t take care of their bodies. She herself had made even further progress than a year ago, and on the two year anniversary of her weight training career, Alyssa was one of the most muscularly impressive girls on campus. The effective and positive lifestyle Alyssa lead bled into the other areas of her life, leading her to employ good study habits and maintain a semi-regular schedule.
In hindsight, Alyssa’s freshman year of college passed by extremely quickly. As the semester ended, she prepared herself to spend the summer at home once more. Her already fit body had reached a new level of impressiveness, and she was eager to flaunt what she had at the beach. While the majority of her friends and family members were extremely supportive of the changes Alyssa was making to her body, some were still skeptical, and frequently reminded her to “take it easy” and to “avoid getting too manly”. The young woman shrugged their suggestions off, and spent the summer months relaxing by beach, training in the gym, and acquiring ever more Instagram followers.
