Anja Langer (born June 3, 1965) is a German former professional female bodybuilder of the late 1980s.
Anja was born in 1965 in Stuttgart in Southern Germany, where she grew up in the nearby town of Böblingen.
Langer grew up in a house near a forest and at a young age she did a lot of outdoor activities.
Little by little she increased her training, she put more attention to her diet and decided to compete in her first bodybuilding competition.
After turning pro, Langer decided that her main goal as professional was to win the Ms. Olympia title, but 1987 was a difficult year for Anja.
She also returned to the bodybuilding stage as a guest poser showing a smaller frame than she had during her competitive days.
Langer's training philosophy mainly consisted of a combination compound, and isolation exercises (mostly done with free weights and a small number of machines and cables).
Anja focuses on her Chest, Back, in order to bring her upper body to match her strong legs.
