Gosh darn, how I would like to be this barbell between Ms. Olympia's legs, Cory Everson! The greatest thing I liked about Cory Everson is that she never got too grotesque, like what some of the female bodybuilders look today. Now I'm not saying she didn't take steroids, she probably still did, but I'm still a fan anyways. Even at the age of 50 Cory Everson still works out and is still pretty! I hope she's enjoying her life, I bet that she misses the good old days though, starring on the front cover of muscle magazine Muscle & Fitness. We still remember you Cory, just keep up on that beautiful body!

Checkout these gorgeous female bodybuilders on our bodybuilding store blog ripped workouts. We have a wide variety of articles on the top notch female bodybuilders. Everyone from Cory Everson to the new Ms. Olympia Iris Kyle. Even though these female bodybuilders have more muscle and stronger physiques than the average woman, they are still very gorgeous in their own way. I congratulate these female bodybuilders for their great physique.

Possibly the sexiest shot of Cory Everson working out, this bodybuilder is just beautiful. Little history about the beautiful bodybuilder, she's a six time Ms. Olympia champion, winning the title consecutively. Not too many women bodybuilders have accomplished what she has, she's had a successful career just as Arnold Schwarzenegger has. You would think the two would of made a great couple, since they had similar careers, but Cory Everson settled down with Jeff Everson, that's until she got a divorce in 1996. Then later married Dr. Steve Donia, a cosmetic dentist in 1998.

Bodybuilder or should I say Ms. Olympia, Cory Everson is still hot to trot at the age of 50, still working out and eating healthy too. She's by far my favorite female bodybuilder ever, possibly my favorite model too. She is so darn sexy, something to Cory Everson that makes her so hot. She has a unique gorgeous look to her, some of the new female bodybuilders can't even touch her grace. While a lot of fans have forgotten her, I still haven't! She sure had had a successful life as both n actor and a bodybuilder!

You know, I kind of miss the days of the 80s when women wore the hair in the big puffy style, for instance this shot of hottie bodybuilder Sharon Leigh Bruneau. She was one sexy babe back in the day, I bet she still is, now she's an actor and doing roles in low budget movies. I remember some of the Magazine covers where she starred with Cory Everson herself, showing of both their sexy bodies. Great to have a hot blond and brunette on the cover of a bodybuilding magazine.

Sharon Leigh Bruneau, sexy? Yes to say the least, she was not only sexy but a world class dedicated bodybuilder when she competed at the professional level. As a Canadian, Sharon Leigh Bruneau she first started off as fashion model, but after a bad case of pneumonia she lost a lot of weight. After that sickness she gained to much weight back, in result she had to slim back down for modeling, she turned to weight lifting. While she was building muscles and new curves, the new look Sharon Leigh Bruneau had built for herself, was not the look modeling agencies were looking for. Then she decided to turn to competing in bodybuilding for guidance, She competed in Ms. Olympia and starred in several bodybuilding magazines. After retiring from bodybuilding, she began her career in acting in low budget movies. She had a small role in Smokin Aces where she played a stunt woman.

A top notch exercise for your pectoral muscles is the dumbbell flyes, effective and easy to do. What the dumbbell flyes do is get the sides of your pectoral muscles, rounding them out, giving them a more natural look to them like the professional bodybuilders. It's a favorite exercise of mine not just because it rounds on my pecs and makes them more cutt, but because they stretch my muscles out too! Great exercise to do before you get on the bench press or do any big compound exercises.

While many bodybuilders will say the smith machine can make you weak and not form your muscles are much as free weight bench, I come back at them with safety. You can't sacrifice safety for your muscles, no matter what people tell you. I have used the smith machine for more than 5 years and I'll say this, I'll never go back to free weight bench press. I've had a few bad experiences with bench press, my spotting partner not keeping an eye on me. And mainly, dropping the weight on myself because I don't have a partner. This can result in serious, sometimes death if you're not careful. So this where the smith machine comes in, with a flick of the wrist you can prevent any kind of injury or death. So how much value is that? Well worth the sacrifice of free weights isn't it?

I'm not sure if my candida is related to bodybuilding, but I think it might be. For bodybuilding to gain muscle I was always told to eat more and more food, which means scarfing down more than one burger, one sub, and a whole pizza. The results? Well could it be that all the gluten and the carbs from these foods overwhelmed my stomach with candida albicans? Well it's possible!

What I think is the big link is the protein shakes I took, which led to taking the antibiotic Tetracycline for the acne side effect I had from protein shakes. Later I had to take a strong drug Accutane to get rid of my severe acne, which it did. Now I've been battling Candida and food allergies for the last past year, let me tell you it's not fun. Could I just be crazy saying that Candida stemed from taking protein shakes, say what you want, but the person that knows your body the best is you! So the point I want to make is, be careful what you put in your body: hence steroids, HGH, supplements or whatever. Everything that is not natural to your body has side effects!

What better way to build muscle but to buy some protein powder from the store, possibly GNC or even Better Health. Right? Wrong! I can't tell you enough how many side effects I got from drinking protein shakes. First and the biggest side effect was acne with me. Soon as I got on the stuff my Softmore year in High School, it turned my moderate acne into severe acne. It got so bad I had to turned to a strong drug called Accutane to get rid of it, which made my body get more side effects from the drug Accutane. See how drugs work, some may not call protein powder a drug, but it really is. The protein shakes these days have all sort of stuff in them.

The next side effect was gas, super bad too, I remember just stinking up the class room at my High School. It got so bad I immediately had to downgrade my protein shake intake! But I still didn't get off of them, because I wanted to get big and bad as the bodybuilder on the protein powder container. Not knowing that in order to get that big, that bodybuilder took a ton amount of steroids and HGH.

Another side effect I received was diarrhea, which if your stool is loose and coming out wrong, means whatever you eating is not healthy. All in all, stay off of the protein shakes, I'm only going to stress this once. It's not worth it and you really won't see any big gains. You can get all the protein you need by eating natural food regularly. It's not worth the side effects, take it from me, 10 year experienced bodybuilder.
