“Appreciate the Art of the Female Sculpture”: Former Bodybuilder Critics Her Own Physique to Describe What Women’s Bodybuilding Was All About During Her Time

Corinna “Cory” Everson is one of the most decorated female bodybuilders of all time. Cory remained the undefeated champion at the Ms. Olympia contest throughout her career. She made her contest debut in 1984 and won all the seasons until she retired from the competition in 1989.

Cory Everson posts a throwback photo

On 18th November 2022, Everson posted a photo from her time as a bodybuilder on her Facebook profile. While sharing the photo, she revealed it is one of her favorite photos she has ever taken. Per Everson, the photo showcases the true essence of women’s bodybuilding.

Describing why she loves the photo, Cory wrote, “Because in this one image it portrays what women’s bodybuilding was all about; muscle development, muscular balance, body symmetry, and proportion, with a pleasing display of skin tone, color, and presentation. Because of all those elements packaged into one small transparency, from the click of a camera at one tiny moment in time, I can say this is one of my best shots.”
