She is the hottest body-builder of Hungary – Photos

According to szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu, not only the country, but half the world adores the body of Virag Kiss, the smiling blond girl. However, her career as a European and World Champion body builder is quite different from the career of a model: although she makes her living with her figure, there is a huge work in doing so. In addition, Virag performs not only above the average, when she is onstage: after studying political sciences she now studies law, which means that soon we can call her Dr. Virag Kiss.

In people’s mind there is probably something about posing and tanning cream, but they hardly know what your daily routine looks like. Let’s put together what your sport is actually about!

I really look like a skinny girl in everyday life, so someone even asked me whether I was doing sports at all. The answer is yes, I do body-building. My category is “bikini model”, but I don’t like this phrase, since it doesn’t really reflect on what I’m actually doing. People often have misconceptions about the word “model”, so the word “bikini fitness” that used abroad is actually much better. I work a lot for my figure, and my muscles. I have to train hard for months only for those couple of seconds I spend on the stage before the jury. And yet that is only one part of the success.

What does the jury score in this sport?

The girls have to have firm and shapely muscles. They cannot be too stringy: the muscles cannot be clearly outlined, veined. They need to have an aesthetic and feminine body, and the judges increasingly account with the feminine flair, grace and stage movement. The difference between us and the body fitness category one level above us is that they have to have a greater muscle mass and more fat-free, stringier appearance. Most photographs in the newspapers and on the Internet are about the model girls, because they are pretty, muscular, yet still remain within the ladylike limits, even according to an average person.

How do you set up your calendar? I suppose there is competition period.

It works like this: we look at the 2016 competition schedule and determine the contests I would like to participate in. Like in boxing, there are several associations; I’m the member of IFBB. After we selected the competitions, Timi, my personal trainer, sets up a figure timing. For example, if the first contest comes in March, then we designate a 12-week-preparation in reverse. In addition to the barbell and cardio exercises, a rather important things is to plan my meals as well.

Only meat and salad?

I get up at 6 am, I prepare everything I will eat that day and put into a little box. In this case, there are no additional meals, no frauds, since it ruins everything I was working for.

But really, I measure the turkey meat and the vegetables on the kitchen scale, and I know their carbohydrate and protein content exactly in grams. So I go with boxes – mostly filled with turkey and salad – to the training space. I am usually in the gym at 8 am and participate in an approx. 3-hour-long exercise. Therefrom one hour always is barbell exercise, and after that cardio and posing, where the schedule depends on my actual shape. We have to practice posing, too, even though it seems we just stand there and smile. It has very strict rules.

And do you rest after the workout all day?

Of course… Except that university courses are coming, writing a thesis or sponsorship requests where I have to stand my ground, making exercise videos etc. So I’m busy every day.

How did all this start in your life?

I did ballet in the Bekescsaba theater when I still went to kindergarten, later I danced hip hop, but I was put to the back because they did not appreciate my dance skills. All my life I wanted to compete, and I always have been.

People criticized me frequently at all the different stations of my career.

It was the same with fitness, which I fought a lot for. When I moved to Budapest because of the university, I looked for the best trainer I could find and trained a whole year for the Hungarian championship. My commitment was so strong, that, for example, I also went to the gymnasts of Ferencvaros club for additional acrobatic training.

Then my ankle ligament was torn at the stage rehearsal before my first competition.

This happened in 2011. Life proved me that others may be right and fitness does not fit me. Based on our idea with my coach, I started fitness modeling. I promised myself to accept this challenge in the spring of 2012, in addition to the two universities, but only proceed with it if I get a good ranking in my first contest. I became world champion that year.

Which result are you the most proud of?

This year, I participated in many international competitions in different countries in approx. every two weeks, but I am most proud of my 2013 Arnold Classic victory.

Previously, I contested in another alliance, but IFBB is the peak of peaks in bodybuilding. The greatest stars compete here, and only here can you stand on the stage of Arnold or Mr. Olympia. Anyway, the latter is a big dream of mine.

So is this a system where you collect points at different stations and these become aggregated at the end of the year?

Yes. None of the stations are mandatory, you can collect points by various weighting, and these are aggregated at the end of the year.

Which place will you be in 2015?

I don’t know yet. It is not so easy to calculate because of the many competitors and tournaments going on. But I ran in a lot of contests and I was among the best 4-6 in each of them, so I’m full with hopes. I will certainly hit the top 20. The list will be published at the end of the year.
