GMV-130 - CORY EVERSON WORKOUT

 Cory Everson was a pioneer in building and popularizing women's bodybuilding in the 1980's. She became a 6-time Ms. Olympia champion, which allowed her to leave her mark in the sport of women's bodybuilding. GMV filmed Cory for an in-depth strength training gym segment while she was visiting Adelaide, Australia in 1991 right after her last Ms Olympia victory.

The video goes through an advanced gym training cycle, showing the viewer the appropriate methods and techniques to resistance training at the gym. Cory's husband commentates throughout most of the video about Cory's approach to each weight training exercise. He gives the audience tips on how to maximize and isolate each targeted muscle group on various machines and free weights.

While we see Cory doing her training and designated gym exercises, we cut into an open seminar with an Australian audience. Cory and her husband answer a multitude of questions from  the best recovery habits after a workout, to the always asked questions about drug usage. Nutrition and dieting was another major theme throughout much of the open-mike with Cory. Apparently, Cory is a vegetarian but still eats dairy products, fish, and protein powder drinks to replenish her protein reserves. 

The video closes out with Cory Everson's 1989 Ms. Olympia routine, which was extremely entertaining to watch and very original. The footage from the Ms. Olympia competition was supplied by Magna Media International, which has taped the front stage portions of the Olympia Weekend since the 1980's. All in all, a very interesting perspective of Cory Everson and her rise to being a pioneer in the sport of female bodybuilding.  

Pros about the video

• Flashback to Cory's success in the late 80's and early 90's
• Cory has beautiful aesthetics and symmetry in her physique
• Very educational and motivating video to watch

Cons about the video

• More a training video than a rigorous "workout" video as the title suggest 

Final Thoughts
I must admit, my initials thoughts were that the video would be a regular gym pump fest with Cory. Instead, the video was a training video showing the techniques Cory uses to train her physique. The open discussion with bodybuilding fans was refreshing to watch, both Cory and her then husband Jeff were very knowledgeable and honest with every question. I think the true fans of Cory will enjoy the perspective created by GMV Productions in this video.
