Women look like us too, say UK's strongest females
"We promote the fact that we are different... not the stereotypical woman."
Welsh strongwoman Rebecca Roberts - the current reigning World champion - said it took years to understand that her 6ft 4in (1.93m) height was a "superpower".
As a teen, in Bangor, Gwynedd, the 29-year-old said she was so badly bullied for her size she used to write sick notes to avoid PE.
"If you were to tell me back then I would be the UK's strongest woman competing in an arena full of thousands of people I would have laughed... no chance."
Rebecca won her third consecutive UK's Strongest Women competition in Warrington, Cheshire, on Sunday, beating fellow Welsh strongwoman Sam Taylor.
"It was really good to see that Wales was one and two on the podium," she said.
She said she hoped it would inspire more young girls to get into sports, or even compete in strongwoman competitions.
