“Lara Croft!”: Lifting Community Compares Russian Bodybuilder to Protagonist of Popular Game Franchise Which Has Sold Over 95 Million Copies

Vladislava Galagan, who hails from Russia, showed off her back gains on social media. She initially rose to prominence because of her uncanny resemblance with Kendall Jenner. Soon after, the online fitness community named Galagan the Kendall Jenner of Bodybuilding. Since then, the bodybuilder and social media fitness influencer has only become increasingly popular.

Galagan posts regularly on social media, sometimes multiple times a day. Earlier, the bodybuilder showed her working on a body part many people ignore during training: The rear deltoid. However, the outfit she wore compelled fans to compare her with someone other than Kendall Jenner. They compared her with the fictional video game protagonist of the Tomb Raider franchise.

Bodybuilder Vladislava Galagan’s impressive back

In the video, Vladi Galagan, dressed in all-black, sat down at the rear delt machine. The bodybuilder sat down, did a few reps to show how it’s done, and then hit a back-double biceps pose. She flared the lats and showed the width of her back muscles.

Besides impressing fans, her all-black gym clothes inspired fans to compare her with Lara Croft. Croft is an immensely popular video game character who has been portrayed on the silver screen by the likes of Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander. Since the release of its first installment in 1996, the Tomb Raider franchise has sold over 95 million copies. However, some fans thought she would be the perfect fit for another entertainment genre.

Video game protagonist or superhero?

While Lara Croft often wears a grey top and brown shorts, fans found the bodybuilder’s outfit to be perfectly suitable. “Lara Croft!” wrote an excited fan

 “(The) next Tomb Raider we need,” commented another. These fans probably recalled Angelina Jolie’s Tomb Raider outfit from the 2001 film. However, some other fans noticed that Galagan wore these leggings in every video.

“The ONLY leggings you have,” commented one fan because these seem to be her favorite.

Others saw the bodybuilder as a superhero. “Black Panther… Female and immensely beautiful version!” commented one follower.

A second fan thought Vladislava Galagan could play any superhero she wanted to. “Which Superhero you decided to be? You meet all the requirements. Only select, princess,” wrote another fan.

When the bodybuilder filmed the video, she probably didn’t think fans would compare her to fictional characters. However, it’s also necessary to note that the bodybuilder has cosplayed as Inosuke Hashibira from the popular anime Demon Slayer. What’s your opinion? Write your thoughts in the comments.
