A WOMAN known as the ‘She Hulk’ has proudly showed off her biceps, which are bigger than Arnold Schwarzenegger’s.
Jackie Korrn, a Dutch bodybuilder from Schagen, The Netherlands, has dedicated her life to fitness and aspires to be on the WWE stage one day.
She trains two to three hours a day using lots of heavy weights and is on a mission to “keep building, building, building.”
The brunette went viral online after showing off her 25-inch “curvy girl muscles” and has since received a flurry of job opportunities including participating in wrestling shows.
Opening up to Truly, on an episode of Hooked on the Look, the fitness fanatic opened up on what it’s really like to have huge arms.
While Arnold Schwarzenegger’s arms were reported to be around 56cm at their peak, Jackie’s “hard” biceps, which are covered in tattoos, measure at 64cm.

As a result, Amer, her wrestling coach, said: “She is the woman with the largest arms in The Netherlands, maybe even the largest arms in the world.”
Jackie, who has 61,600 followers on Instagram, is constantly stared at in public and even leaves kids frightened as a result of her size, as Amer recognised: “We had children scared of you.”
The self-proclaimed “pretty big woman” who started her fitness journey back in 2021 spends €500 [£425] a month on food just for herself.
As well as eight eggs a day, Jackie eats chicken and spinach, which she described as a “pretty sad” diet consisting of “clean, healthy food.”
Not only can she lift up fully-grown men and push up 200kg, but she boasted: “I have bigger biceps than Arnie…sorry Arnie [Arnold Schwarzenegger].”
When it comes to the public’s reaction to her unique look, Jackie explained: “People can give me comments or reactions, but I must look at myself and not at other people.
“Most people say ‘it’s only fat,’ but they can touch it and then they say, ‘oh f**k, it’s hard.’ Of course it’s hard. I train.
“I don’t give a s**t about your reactions, comments.”
Describing the “strong, big woman” who is said to have “traditionally masculine features,” her coach explained: “You’re a version of a She Hulk, you’re the real life wrestling version.”
Social media users react
YouTube users were stunned by Jackie’s huge arms and many raced to the comments to express this.
Not only this, but many were “proud” of her progress after seeing her ‘before’ snaps.

Why you should do weight training when you get older?
As we age, maintaining physical fitness becomes increasingly crucial, and weight training plays a pivotal role in promoting overall health and well-being. One of the primary benefits of weight training for older adults is the preservation and enhancement of muscle mass. Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, is a common issue that can lead to decreased mobility, increased risk of falls, and a general decline in physical function. Engaging in regular weight training helps to counteract these effects by stimulating muscle growth and improving muscular strength, thereby enhancing an individual’s ability to perform daily activities with greater ease and independence.
In addition to its impact on muscle mass, weight training also significantly contributes to bone health. Osteoporosis, characterized by weakened and brittle bones, is another prevalent concern among older adults. Weight-bearing exercises, such as lifting weights, promote bone density by applying stress to the bones, which in turn stimulates the production of new bone tissue. This can help reduce the risk of fractures and other bone-related injuries, fostering a more active and injury-free lifestyle.
Weight training also offers substantial metabolic benefits, which are especially important as metabolism tends to slow down with age. By increasing muscle mass, weight training boosts the resting metabolic rate, meaning the body burns more calories even at rest. This can aid in weight management and reduce the risk of metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, weight training has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, enhance lipid profiles, and reduce inflammation, all of which contribute to a healthier metabolic state.
Meanwhile, someone else chimed in: “Love her! Go girl!”
But at the same time, not everyone was as complimentary, as one user simply slammed: “Unhealthy.”
A second asked: “What’s your cholesterol?”
Whilst another snapped: “These are fat covered arms.”
