She is 40,she is a body builder and also a firefighter.
A mother defied medical advice and continued pumping iron at nine months' pregnant - and now says she is obsessed with getting even bigger after giving birth to her fourth child.
Lorna Biggam, who is 5ft 7in and weighs 12st, was still bench pressing 100kg right up to her due date and admits she defied medical advice to slow down from her six hours of weightlifting a week.
The mother-of-four even qualified for the British Female Bodybuilding Finals just ten months after giving birth to her one-year-old daughter by caesarean section.
The 40-year-old, who consumes 4,000 calories a day, says she wants to keep getting bigger and admits she will never be happy with her size.
Lorna, from Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, said: 'In bodybuilding, you're always striving to be bigger and better after each competition.
'I never feel big enough so I'm always in competition with myself to improve my size and condition.'
During the labour with baby Quinn, surgeons discovered Lorna had a seven inch abdominal tear - which is common in muscular women as their taut stomach muscles can't stretch to accommodate the growing baby bump.
But fitness-mad Lorna was back in the gym six weeks later. She said: 'My midwife said I should calm down my weightlifting regime but I felt I knew my body best and I carried on as norSteven
Now she juggles her gruelling fitness regime with being a mother to four children and she also works full-time as a firefighter.
Lorna, whose partner Steven, 32, is also a bodybuilder, wakes up at 5.30am every day to fit in an hour of cardio before starting the school run.
Her day is then a frantic cycle of washing, cleaning, baby feeds, and changing nappies - with firefighter shifts and weightlifting crammed in between.
As well as cooking for her hungry brood, Lorna also prepares six separate high protein meals for herself and a separate strict menu for Steven.
And at the fire station, Lorna, who has 14 years of service, commands incredible respect from her male colleagues.
Lorna said: 'It is chaotic and when I'm going mental on the stepper with wild bed-hair at 5.30am, the neighbours must think I'm nuts.
'It is a manic lifestyle but I love it and I'm completely dedicated.'
Lorna's biceps measure 14 inches and her thighs measure in at 23.5 inches.
Since taking up weightlifting in 2013, Lorna has won Muscle Xcess Classic 2013, NABBA Miss Scotland Trained Figure, Muscle Xcess Classic 2015 and NABBA Scotland 2nd place 2015 and dreams of winning a universal title.
And her children couldn't be prouder of their mother. Lorna, who is a parent to Taylor, 15, Marlee, 13, Reid, eight, and one-year-old Quinn, said: 'Marlee and Reid are into their fitness already and they've said that they want to get big muscles when they're older.
'I think Steven and I are setting a good example by showing the kids how to look after their bodies.
'People do stare at me when I'm out and about and I've seen kids grab their mum's hand when they've caught sight of me in the supermarket. But my children and Steven couldn't be prouder.'
Lorna began weightlifting in 2012 after suffering from a knee injury during a charity football match. She started training in an attempt to build muscle around the joint but soon found herself addicted to pumping iron.
Lorna, who is 5ft 7in, and weighs 12st of solid muscle, said: 'The change in my body was dramatic and I loved seeing my muscles strengthen and grow.
'Within six months I'd gained a stone in muscle and went from a size 10 to a size 16.'
And it was Lorna's new hardcore hobby that helped her find love with fellow bodybuilder Steven.
Lorna's statuesque physique caught the eye of Steven, an asbestos removal supervisor, at a bodybuilding competition in 2013 and their mutual love of the weights bench led to romance outside of the gym.
Lorna said: 'It's great to be with someone who understands the level of commitment and dedication and won't try to tempt you away from your diet with a pizza.
'Sometimes I can be snappy with Steven when I'm on a shredding diet and I'm hungry but he understands where I'm coming from because he might have been in the same situation a week before.'
Lorna currently eats six protein-packed meals every day, including six egg whites and plenty of chicken and steak - totalling 4,000 calories.
Now Lorna wants to encourage other females to take up bodybuilding, and says that with the right dedication and commitment, women can have it all.
She said: 'Women are just as capable as men and female bodybuilding is becoming much more mainstream.
'I'd challenge anyone who says bodybuilding is a men's sport to come and train with me in the gym - they wouldn't be thinking that way for long.'

Rita Ora not approved by her neighbours.
the apartment.
MailOnline has contacted Rita Ora's representatives for a comment
X Factor judge Rita Ora is not winning her neighbours' votes - thanks to loud partying, rebuilding work and a plastic front hedge at her home, it has been claimed.
The 24-year-old is said to have held an all-night party at her semi-detached house in North London recently with guests including fellow judge Nick Grimshaw and supermodel Kate Moss.
Neighbours have also told how lorries have been driving in and out of the quiet street with the star said to be doing up her property.
One elderly resident complained that a plastic hedge shielding the home's front windows stood out 'like a sore thumb'.
According to the Sunday Mirror, the Hot Right Now singer held a birthday party for Radio 1 DJ Grimshaw with celebrity guests including Olly Murs and Caroline Flack arriving at 1.30am.
There are reports that the party, last weekend, only ended at 4am.
A neighbour told the newspaper: 'My children know who Rita is but I don’t. I’ve heard about her reputation and I don’t want any loud parties.'
MailOnline understands that the star, who is on tour, is not currently living in the property.
A source said: 'Rita does not live in the house, it is one of a number of properties she owns. She is currently in the US on tour.'
The Sunday Mirror reports that council planning chiefs gave her the go ahead to make changes to her home - despite objections from some of her neighbours.
In 2013, the Body On Me singer was reportedly asked to find a new place to live after complaints about noisy late night gatherings at the luxury west London apartment she was renting.
And earlier this year, the Sunday Mirror reports, residents in a separate London complex were said to be 'up in arms' over the levels of loud music coming from the apartment.

Welcome to the nude university.
Diet coke is bad for you,see why.
Do you opt for a Diet Coke only to undo your good work by having a chocolate bar with it?
You're not alone. A new study found people who drink diet drinks may compensate for the lack of calories by eating unhealthy foods.
People who drank diet drinks ate an average of 69 calories of extra sugary, fatty, salty or cholesterol-raising foods, the study found.
Therefore, switching to diet drinks may not help people trying to control their weight to slim down if they don't pay attention to the quantity and quality of the foods they consume, the researchers concluded.
The team, led by Dr Ruopeng An, of the University of Illinois, looked at data on the dietary habits of more than 22,000 US adults.
The data covers more than 10 years and forms part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which asked people to recall everything they ate or drank over the course of two non-consecutive days.
It included their daily calorie intakes, including their consumption of food and five types of beverages - diet or sugar-free drinks; sugar-sweetened beverages, such as sodas and fruit drinks; coffee; tea; and alcohol.
Using a database from the US Department of Agriculture, Dr An compiled a list of 661 'discretionary foods' which includes those that do not belong to the major food groups and are not required by the human body, but may add variety to a person's diet.
These energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods include items such as cookies, ice cream, chocolate, fries and pastries.
Increase in total calorie intake by beverage type:
- Alcohol: 384 calories
- Sugar-sweetened beverages: 226 calories
- Coffee: 108 calories
- Diet beverages: 69 calories
- Tea: 64 calories.
Although previous research on people's choice of drink and whether they eat discretionary foods focused on snacking in between meals, Dr An chose to look at the nutritional quality of the food participants consumed rather than when it was eaten.
Around 97 per cent of people in the study ate at least one of the five types of drinks daily.
Around 41 per cent said they drank beverages from at least two of the categories, and more than 25 per cent drank three or more types of drinks daily.
Coffee was the top beverage of choice, consumed by more than half - 53 per cent - of people in the study.
This was followed by sugar-sweetened beverages (43 per cent), tea (26 per cent), alcohol (22 per cent) and diet beverages (21 per cent).
Drinking alcohol led to the biggest increase in daily calorie intake, causing people to eat an extra 384 calories on average.
This was followed by sugar-sweetened beverages (226 calories), coffee (108 calories), diet beverages (69 calories) and tea (64 calories).
While coffee and diet-beverage drinkers ate fewer total calories each day than people who preferred alcohol or sugary drinks, a greater percentage of their daily calorie intake came from discretionary foods.
This suggests they may be a 'compensating effect' occurring, Dr An said.
When he explored associations between beverage type and the quality of a person's diet, Dr An found that people who consumed sugar-sweetened beverages or coffee had the worst nutrition profiles.
Switching to diet drinks may not help people control their weight if they don't pay attention to the quantity and quality of the foods they consume, he concluded.
If people simply substitute sugar-sweetened beverages for diet beverages, it may not have the intended effect because they may just eat more calories, rather than drinking them, Dr An said.
He added: 'We'd recommend that people carefully document their caloric intake from both beverages and discretionary foods because both of these add calories - and possibly weight - to the body.'
He also recommended that public health interventions encouraging people to assess their drinks in the context of their overall behaviour, looking at whether they eat more as a result of choosing a certain type of drink.
The research will be published in a future issue of Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
A glimpse of The Queen's outfits during her reign
She is Britain’s ultimate fashion icon — utterly majestic from the crown of her hat to the tips of her patent shoes.
In the 63 years and 219 days the Queen has reigned, she hasn’t put a foot wrong when it comes to her wardrobe, which is impressive, considering she changes outfits up to five times a day.
Some have claimed the Queen doesn’t care about fashion. But a closer look reveals the opposite. As Angela Kelly, her dresser for 21 years, says: ‘The Queen loves clothes and is a real expert on fabrics. It’s not been me teaching the Queen — it’s the other way round.’ In her youth, Her Majesty often wore eye-catching designs, from turbans and opulent furs to short-sleeved dresses cinched at the waist.
You will spot not a hair out of place, a wrinkle in the fabric of her outfit; no dropped hemlines, visible hat pins or scuffs on her heels.
What you will see is a kaleidoscope of colour. At 5ft 4in, she needs to wear bright hues to stand out. As she once said: ‘If I wore beige, nobody would know who I am.’ We bring you the ultimate guide to our ‘reign-bow’ Queen…
New hats per year: 70
Average brim: 5.5in
Cost: At least £300
The Queen wears her favourite hats up to 20 times, allowing several months in between.
The felt hats, made by royal milliner Philip Somerville until his death in 2014 and since by Rachel Trevor-Morgan, cost upwards of £300, with extravagant designs exceeding £1,000.
For state occasions, the Queen owns 11 tiaras, the most precious of which is the Imperial State Crown, which contains 2,868 diamonds, 273 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds and five rubies. Her trademark curls are fixed in position with transparent gel, dubbed ‘liquid concrete’ by mischievous Palace staff.
Size: 4 — the small-footed Queen has an allocated staff member (dubbed ‘Cinders’) to wear in her shoes for a week before she tries them.
Heel height: 2.25in (minus the quarter-inch if she’s on uneven surfaces).
Brand: London-based shoemaker Anello & Davide, replacing royal go-to Rayne in the Nineties.
Style: Courts with a brass buckle and low heel. She has both plain and patent designs, in black, navy and white for day; satin, silver and gold for night.
upkeep: She gets two new pairs a year and has older ones re-heeled. ‘The Queen doesn’t waste money,’ says David Hyatt, of Anello & Davide. ‘She’s no Imelda Marcos.’
When you see the Queen wearing an open coat with what looks like her dress visible underneath, it’s not as it seems. Angela Kelly inserts fabric identical to the dress across the front of the coat to give the illusion of it sitting open without exposing her to a gust of wind.
The heads of her hatpins are covered in the same fabric as the hat, to make them almost invisible. Every outfit — apart from evening gowns — is fitted with pleats, so the skirt doesn’t rise when she sits or walks up stairs. Knife pleats (straight lines), kick pleats (fanned) and box pleats (wide folds) are used, as well as zips at the back so clothes can be changed quickly.
£18 - The cost of her secret indulgence — an £18 ‘birdcage’ umbrella from London firm Fulton, made from transparent plastic.
9 - The number of publicly available photographs of the Queen wearing trousers.
1 - The number of shoulder pads she wears to balance out one shoulder that is higher than the other (her left is thought to be the higher one).
100 - The number of different outfits she took on her first Commonwealth tour in 1953.
1,028 - The number of diamonds on the Queen’s favourite tiara, the ‘Girls of Great Britain and Ireland’, which she wears in her portrait on banknotes.
£1.50 - The cost of a pack of four John Lewis lead curtain weights, sewn into the seams of the Queen’s dresses to stop them blowing in the wind.
2,091 - The number of hand-sewn shamrocks on the white gown she wore in Ireland in 2011.
1982 - The year she began to wear reading glasses. In 1993, she asked the Duke of Edinburgh to give an address on her behalf as she had forgotten to bring them.
£217,600 - The value of the yellow gold Jaeger LeCoultre 101 wristwatch Her Majesty wore on her Coronation Day in 1953.
Tights: Never bare-legged, the Queen wore sheer stockings (complete with trendy back seam) in her youth and these days dons 60 denier nude tights to keep her calves and ankles warm. Her ladies-in-waiting carry a spare pair in case she gets a ladder while out and about.
Underwear: June Kenton, former owner of the upmarket lingerie brand Rigby & Peller, has been fitting the Queen’s bras for 33 years, but is famously tight-lipped about the royal bust size.
