Male Role Models?

Female Role Models?

Posted by Maria Kang on September 19th, 2006

Okay, so in an effort to promote some gender equality on this site, here are some pictures of women in bodybuilding. As you can see, not only has steroid use transferred over to the feminine physique, but our idea of ‘beautiful muscle’ has definitely gone extreme.
I think the comparisons are pretty interesting.

Rachel McLish, 1st Ms. Olypmia Winner, 1980

Cory Everson, Miss Olympia, 1984-1989

Yaxeni Oriquen, Miss Olympia 2005

This is her physique when she began competing

Now!

Here I am with her last year!

    this is horrible - the use of steroids.
    now that steroids are so big in bodybuilding the sport becomes not respectable anymore
