Woman who wants ‘world’s biggest bum’ flaunts progress in extreme thong bikini

A female bodybuilder is on a mission to have the “world’s biggest bum” without plastic surgery – and she’s proud of her progress.

Vanessa Ataides, who has been working hard at the gym, flaunted her famous behind during a photoshoot recently.

She stripped down to a bright red swimsuit, which had a thong fit to emphasise her bottom.

The 37-year-old, from Brazil, wore large sunglasses as she dipped her legs into a swimming pool.

To ramp up the glam look, she wore her long locks straight, applied red lipstick and got a manicure.

Fans couldn’t get enough of the sexy snap, which garnered more than 2,400 likes on Instagram.

One commenter said: “Simply spectacular this photo – what a beautiful angle. Congratulations.”

Another wrote: “One of the most beautiful women in the world. I’ve got lots of love for you.”

A third swooned: “You’re killing it as usual!”

And a fourth added: “Very beautiful and sexy.”

Given that she works so hard to maintain her figure, we're not surprised Vanessa has been showing it off.

The bodybuilder is so determined to achieve a 130cm booty that she gets up at 4am to go to the gym each day.

She eats six protein-packed meals every 24 hours in a bid to build muscle and help her body to repair itself after workouts.

And some of the 35-year-old’s favourite dishes involve ingredients like egg whites and red meat.

To make sure she’s getting all the nutrients she needs, she also takes supplements in order to boost her behind.

Vanessa told local media: "I know it's an addiction. When I reach a goal, I don't stop, I want more.

“Today I want to have the biggest bum in Brazil, but I know that when I achieve it, I'll want to have the biggest in the world."
