“Strong Muscular Women Are More Beautiful”: 65-Year-Old Female Ms. Olympia Icon Leaves Bodybuilding World Drooling Over Her Ripped Body

Cory Everson was indeed one of the most decorated athletes in the history of bodybuilding. She made history when she held the title of IFBB Ms. Olympia for six years in a row. She even remained undefeated until her retirement in 1989. When Everson started her career with Ms. Mid America in 1980, little did she know what awaited her. Taking inspiration from her bodybuilding coach husband, she tried her luck on the Olympia stage in 1984 for the first time. And she succeeded. However, when she uploaded a throwback picture on her Facebook, the bodybuilding fans couldn’t resist talking about it.

As Everson shared her first poster image on Facebook, it left her fans in a daze. Let’s find out what her fans talked about.

Bodybuilding fans reacted to a resurfaced image of former Ms. Olympia

Corey frequently posts pictures on her social media to keep her fans updated. Lately, the IFBB professional shared a throwback picture on her Facebook account. “Ya have to start somewhere. This was one of my very first posters I shot with Mike Neveaux. I remember hand painting that fringe jacket. It took so long but it sure made it unique. As you can see The beautiful late Farrah Fawcett influenced my hair style.” She captioned the post. This created excitement among the fans and they commented accordingly –

“Absolutely STUNNING!“

“That hair is more than a Fawcett. That’s a reservoir!”

“Absolutely ICONIC!!!”

“Needed all those muscles to carry that hair…lol. You will, and have always been Gorgeous! Stay blessed.”

In addition, a fan penned an adorable confession. She wrote, “I was struggling with an eating disorder, and seeing you made me realize that strong muscular women are more beautiful than stick figure models. I learned I could lift weights and eat too!” The 65-year-old veteran stepped in to give a suitable reply. The legend advised, “the best thing you can do for yourself is focus your training on being healthy and feeling great and throw away the thinking you have to look a certain way. More bodybuilders, both men and women, fitness girls , models have struggled with body dysmorphia. Disordered eating leads nowhere, except having health problems and depression and oftentimes failed relationships. Please, I ask you, get help if you need it, but the change starts with you. Love you sweetheart.”

This, indeed, won hearts, and people appreciated her piece of advice to the lady. The bodybuilder-turned-actress is still in great shape and advocates on many issues related to the sport. Fans couldn’t stop sharing their thoughts on the picture. One fan wrote, “Me & my buddies built a home gym in my parent’s garage back in the 80’s. We had this poster. It was on the wall next to the U.S. flag and our pirate flag (??)!” Another expressed, “I always loved how you were super fit and buff, but still ridiculously pretty. A favorite pinup of all of my friends and I back in the day”.
