Julia Vins Wiki Bio
Julia Vins was born in Russia on 21 May 1996, so under the zodiac sign of Gemini and holding Russian nationality – she is popular for her career of a weightlifter.
Childhood and education
Julia spent her entire childhood in Russia alongside her parents who do not wish to be involved in media, and are not very proud of Julia’s career of a weightlifter as they believe this is not something a girl should do – Julia appears to be an only child as she hasn’t mentioned having any siblings.
She was somewhat popular during her high school years thanks to her attractive looks, however, she was not happy with her physique and lacked confidence – this is why she decided to start going to the gym as she wanted to become stronger and get to love her body. She was into fitness for about a year which helped her shape her figure a little, and motivate her do to even more – it was after that one year that she decided to start lifting weights.
After she matriculated from high school, Julia decided to completely focus on her career of a weightlifter, and to not enroll at college.
Career of a weightlifter
Julia had a choice between powerlifting and kettlebell lifting, as her school had coaches only for these two disciplines – Julia knew she wasn’t able to do her exercises without a good coach, so decided to go for powerlifting.
She started her training sessions slowly, and although it was not easy at first, Julia soon fell in love with powerlifting and the feeling of strength which it gave her – once she gained enough confidence, she began entering competitions, but it doesn’t seem that she has managed to win any of these She has set three records for herself, which are doing squats with 235kg, bench pressing 140kg, and deadlift with 190kg.

Training and diet. Is she using steroids?
Julia usually has five training sessions per week, and during one or two of these sessions she does her cardio exercises. She prefers to do long high-volume training which helps her work on several muscles at the same time – one example is the exercises which she does on Fridays to work on her triceps, biceps, back and chest all during one session.
This is how Julia’s usual workout looks like:
- On Mondays, Julia does cardio, legs, and calves by running between one and two hours, doing squats, leg press, leg extensions super-setted with lying leg curls machine, standing calf raise, and seated calf raise;
- Tuesdays are for chest and triceps and she does bench press, incline dumbbell press, flat dumbbell flyes, skull-crushers, and close-grip bench press;
- On Wednesdays she works on her shoulders and triceps by doing military press, seated dumbbell shoulder press, lateral raises, front raises, rear delta dumbbell raises, and triceps which she does on Tuesdays;
