  • Newton said we stand on the shoulders of giants. Here's a set of shoulders so giant I can barely stand it. Thanks for reviving some great memories.

  • I first saw Kay Baxter when she was 115 lbs. and featured in a 1980 Sports Illustrated stories about female bodybuilding, "Here She is, Miss, Well, What?":  http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1123276/1/index.htm  (no pics)  She looked great but was like a typical top FBB at the time -- big legs and defined uppber body without much size there.  I believe the only women with big upper bodies back then were Laura Combes and Carla Dunlap.  But then a year or two later Kay Baxter appeared in a contest weighing 130 lbs, apparently all of the extra weight in her upper body, and she looked much bigger than those two or any of the other contestants.

    It was the 1982 Ms. Olympia. Trained by Don Ross, Kay went all out for muscle, even dabbling for the first time in steroids. She later said she and Ross figured she was so big and ripped compared to the other competitors, she would finish either first or last. When she arrived at the Olympia, according to bodybuilding journalist Reg Bradford, Kay and others, jaws hit the floor even seeing her fully clothed. Bradford wrote in his contest account for BodyPower that people went around whispering to each other, "Have you seen Kay?" One competitor, Kay said, came up to her crying, "That's NOT what a female bodybuilder should look like!" She finished mid-pack, but left as one of the three most talked about competitors behind winner Rachel McLish and runner up Carla Dunlap.

    From an October or November 1983 Muscle & Fitness. Gold cover. When my teen FBB fan self saw these photos, I slalomed swiftly through the aisles to the cash register. It's one of four or five M&Fs from the era that I kept.

    The issue before or after had a Julie McNew arms training article. Similar reaction from me.

  • Her deltoid and serratus detail are amazing in that pic. Along with the quad development.

  • Bill Wick was a lucky man. Kay was his wife and both of them made mixed wrestling what it is today.
