This is from an old interview from the NY times where Maria briefly talks about why she became so massive........At 5 foot 4 inches, 180 pounds, Ms Calo 25, who makes a living as a personal trainer, is a stark contrast to other Argentine women. While most are slimming, toning and shaping, Ms. Calo is building thick bulky muscles. "For me the muscles are very beautiful and very feminine," Ms Calo said." From the first time I saw large muscles on women in a competition on American television, I knew I had to have them."
