A lean muscular body is an object of admiration. People in every country spend millions of dollars to get their body in shape and not just to participate in bodybuilding competitions.

The early 90’s were full of controversy for women body builders. For instance, the Ms. Olympia contest of 1991 became the first ever aired live on TV. In this contest, the legendary Lenda Murray had faced a fierce challenge from Bev Francis, the runner-up to the title in 1990.

To make matters worse for Lenda, Bev entered the 1991 Ms. Olympia larger and more defined than in all other years previously.
