Born in Hurley, Staffordshire, near Birmingham, England, Yates started working out in 1983. The man dubbed “The Shadow” (by FLEX Editor-in-Chief Peter McGough) shone a new light of awareness onto training methods with his brief but very high-intensity workouts. After some muscle victories in England – 1985 Novice Championships and 1988 British Championships – Yates visited New York for the 1990 Night of Champions and, in his pro debut, he took second to Mohamed Benaziza. The next year, he returned to win the contest. In 1991, Yates was the runner-up at the Olympia to Lee Haney, who duly won his eighth record-setting Sandow and the retired. From 1992 through 1997, Yates dominated the sport’s highest title. In 1994, he overcame a torn biceps to win the crown. In 1997, his most valiant victory came when he tore a triceps three weeks prior to the contest, but still battled on to triumph. Due to the injury, Yates was forces to retire, with a pro record of 15 wins and two second-place finishes. Yates may well be the bodybuilder that most aspiring trainees can best identify with because of his blue-collar roots, dogged determination and quiet confidence. His book, co-written by Peter McGough, is titled A Warrior’s Story – a perfect appellation for his competitive days for the Brit with no quit. Today, Yates still lives in Birmingham, where he is part owner of the supplement company Dorian Yates Approved, and he is still seen regularly at the main stateside contests. - Titles 1991 IFBB Grand Prix England 1991 IFBB Night of Champions 1992 IFBB Grand Prix England 1992 IFBB Mr. Olympia 1993 IFBB Mr. Olympia 1994 IFBB Grand Prix England 1994 IFBB Grand Prix Germany 1994 IFBB Grand Prix Spain 1994 IFBB Mr. Olympia 1995 IFBB Mr. Olympia 1996 IFBB Grand Prix England 1996 IFBB Grand Prix Germany 1996 IFBB Grand Prix Spain 1996 IFBB Mr. Olympia 1997 IFBB Mr. Olympia - Magazine Covers 1990 Flex 1991 Muscle Mag International 1991IronMan 1991 Flex 1992 Flex 1993 Flex 1993 Flex 1994 Flex 1994 Muscle & Fitness 1994 Muscle Mag International 1994 Flex 1995 IronMan 1995 Flex 1996 Flex 1997 Peak Training Journal 1997 Flex 1998 Flex 1998 Flex 1999 Flex 2001 Flex (courtesy of ifbb.com & dorianyates.net) ************************************************ Cory Everson Born: January 4, 1959 Web Site: www.coryeverson.com During a competitive career that spanned the 1980s, Cory Everson was the prime force in women’s bodybuilding – both in terms of contest results and as a spokesperson for presenting the sport to a wider public. An outstanding track and field athlete while attending the University of Wisconsin, Cory entered her first bodybuilding contest in 1980. Her stunning breakthrough year was 1984, when she won the National Physique Committee Nationals heavyweight and overall titles; weeks later, she won the IFBB Ms. Olympia crown, toppling reigning champion Carla Dunlap and two-time champ Rachel McLish in the process. From then on and until she closed out her competitive career in 1989, Cory Everson won six consecutive IFBB Ms. Olympia titles (she is unique among Ms. Olympia’s in that she never lost an Olympia contest). Cory was the sport’s most popular female during her reign, and she attracted tremendous media interest internationally as well as in the United States. After retirement from competition, Cory’s overall athleticism and bubbling personality led to numerous television and movie roles. She currently hosts a daily exercise show, Gotta Sweat, aired on ESPN2 - Titles 1984 NPC Nationals 1984 IFBB Ms. Olympia 1985 IFBB Ms. Olympia 1986 IFBB Ms. Olympia 1987 IFBB Ms. Olympia 1988 IFBB Ms. Olympia 1989 IFBB Ms. Olympia - Magazine Covers 1984 Strength & Health 1984 Flex 1985 Muscle & Fitness 1985 Flex 1985 Muscle & Fitness 1985 Muscle & Fitness 1986 Flex 1987 IronMan 1987 Flex 1987 Muscle & Fitness 1988 Muscle Mag International 1988 Flex 1988 Female Bodybuilding 1988 IronMan 1988 Muscle & Fitness 1989 Female Bodybuilding 1989 Muscle Mag International 1989 Female Bodybuilding 1989 Muscle Training Illustrated 1989 Muscle Mag International 1990 Muscular Development 1990 IronMan 1990 Flex 1990 Female Bodybuilding 1990 Muscle Training Illustrated 1990 Muscular Development 1991 Female Bodybuilding 1991 Muscular Development 1991 Muscle & Fitness 1991 IronMan 1991 Muscle Training Illustrated 1991 Women's Physique World 1992 Muscular Development 1992 Flex 1993 Female Bodybuilding 1993 IronMan 1994 IronMan 1996 Flex 1996 IronMan 1996 Muscle & Fitness 1996 Flex 1997 IronMan 1998 Muscle & Fitness 1998 Muscle & Fitness 1999 Muscle & Fitness (courtesy of ifbb.com & www.coryeverson.com ) * Article by Ed Ouble, Admin at www.IronLife.com . * Back to This Issue's Frontpage
