Prior to 1977, bodybuilding had been considered strictly a male-oriented sport. Henry McGhee, described as the "primary architect of competitive female bodybuilding", was an employee of the Downtown Canton YMCA, carried a strong belief that women should share the opportunity to display their physiques and the results of their weight training the way men had done for years.
At the same time, she was very close to some powerlifting world records and thought it best to focus her efforts there. [14] Her squat is 601.9 pounds (273.0 kg) (equipped), bench press is 523.6 pounds (237.5 kg) (equipped with bench shirt), and she is the only woman to deadlift 621 pounds (282 kg) (equipped).
