Hall Of Fame Bodybuilder: Bev Francis

Bev Francis, as a teenager, became an accomplished shot-putter in track and field. She progressed to powerlifting where she won six world titles from 1980-85 and earned the accolade of “Strongest Woman in History”. In 1983, Francis was invited to attend the Caesar’s World Cup in Las Vegas.

The contest was, in fact, a vehicle against which to film Pumping Iron II: The Women, and Francis was added to the event as a means of portraying what was then thought to be, for a female, the muscular extreme.

Check out a clip of her psoing routine from Pumping Iron 2.

  • I'd love to see how far bodybuilders who are on top now and who have taken steroids and hormones could go if they went natural and it would be interesting to see how they would look.
