 Amber Glenn Flexing Her Biceps Is Breaking the Internet

DANCING WITH THE STARS (Disney/Christopher Willard) AMBER GLENN, PASHA PASHKOV

‘Dancing With the Stars’ is heating up.

Amber Glenn is sending lesbians swooning after showing off her biceps.

The Olympic skater has been a solid competitor on Dancing With the Stars this season, alongside professional dance partner Pasha Pashkov. Pashkov recently shared a video to social media in which the two of them made “bicep hearts,” aka flexed their muscles, but like, in a super cute way.

The video has made its way across the internet, along with several other clips in which Glenn gives the fans what they want—more flexing.

The most recent episode of Dancing With the Stars was Disney Night, where competitors dance to popular Disney songs. Glenn and Pashkov made the excellent choice to go with a quickstep to “A Star is Born” from Hercules, complete with bare arms and, in Glenn’s case, a cape.

Notably, Glenn took the lead in the dance, which judge Carrie Ann Inaba said was the first time a woman led a male partner in a dance in the history of the show. 

“Seeing the training arc in Hercules was something I was very inspired by,” Glenn said ahead of her performance. “I wanted to be the hero.”

“I think she enjoyed it a lot,” Pashkov later joked.

Glenn also admitted that she used to feel “really insecure” about her muscles when she was young.

“That’s not the norm, especially in skating,” she explained. “I thought that I looked too masculine, and that I wouldn’t be looked at as graceful and that by being muscular, I was too big, and I didn’t fit into the space. And it was like that for many, many years until I really started accepting who I was… Eventually, it became one of my strengths.”

Fans can certainly appreciate Glenn’s desire to embrace her muscular look, as evidenced by internet comments.

After this week’s episode of DWTS, only seven pairs remain on the show—including Glenn and Pashkov. The season finale will air on November 24, which means we’ve got a maximum of three more competition episodes to watch Glenn keep on flexing.
