So that is what a muscle looks like January 19, 2007
I love this video. It is actually, my second. I had lent my first to a friend and you know how that goes. So I searched and luckily found it on Amazon. Cory makes it so easy and I saw results in 2-weeks working out with her that I didn't get working out in a gym for a year!
What an Inspiration!! January 12, 2007
Even though this tape was made in the 90's, the routine that Cory uses is time-tested and effective. I love working out with Cory. She's very likeable, has a great personality, and I am seeing very impressive results since I've been doing this workout. I do this routine at least twice weekly, and have added an additional set to increase the effectiveness for me.
Cory has a beautiful body and it is very obvious why she won Ms. Olympia six times!!! She knows what works and I am a testimony to that.
I look forward to doing this workout!!!

I met Cory Everson YEARS ago when she was competing and appearing at body building shows and competitions. So, it was ironic 15+ years later to read out her videos that I knew nothing about (but wished I had before now). I did purchase this based upon an Amazon list and have really enjoyed this workout! I think Cory does a fantastic job in guiding the viewer through a quality arms and shoulders workout. I am a long time workout fanatic, but after finishing this video even I marvel at how "pumped up" my arms and shoulders are. Yes, it's corny with the thongs, big hair and dated earrings, but the workout is quality and stands the test of time. If you can get your hands on this video, do, it is well worth your time and effort!
 Terrific arms workout.... December 25, 2004

I just received my 2nd copy of this video, my VCR ate the first one. It is a great video, parts of it are a little cheesy but it is well worth the money. There are 3 sets of 12 reps per exercise, you work shoulders first, starting with the muscle building exercise, overhead press, then you go on to front raises, rear delt raises, and lateral raises which Cory calls toning & shaping exercises. She repeats this pattern for all the muscle groups. Then it's on to biceps, the first being 3 sets of normal bicep curls with palms out, then 1 arm concentration curls, then hammer curls. You repeat the concentration curls 2 more times, but for the last exercise in the "tri-set" instead of hammer curls, you do normal bicep curls and bicep curls where you turn you arm in at the top. After biceps she work the forearms, forearm curls, wrist curls, and reverse wrist curls. I usually skip these and insert a few chest & back exercises which are not included in this workout. Lastly, it is triceps, you do lying tricep extensions first, then french press, kickbacks and the last exercise is lying close grip bench press which really works your triceps. There is also a brief warmup and cooldown.
This workout is about a half hour and very thorough for the muscle groups represented. It does move at a fast pace, and the reps are a little fast, which I end up pausing the tape often for a rest or to finish the set. But that is really the only negative in this video. I think that Cory is a pleasant instructor, she is encouraging, motivating and inspiring. I plan to using this video twice a week in addition to my other workouts, I am anxious to see the results. This is the tape that I am sure I will get them.
 Too fast paced for me February 12, 2004

I've bought a few of Cory Everson's videos recently, this being one of them and I have to say that I was somewhat disappointed in this video as I found Cory doing her reps too quick for me to follow (actually this is my glitch with her in most of her videos) and I end up having to pause the tape so I can catch up with her. I've been working out for 15 years now and wouldn't say I'm slow ... I just find if I keep up with Cory's reps, I will perform the exercise incorrectly as I'm just doing the motion just so I can keep up with her and I wonder whether she's doing them too quickly cos the weights she holds seems to be too light. She is after all Ms Olympia and can pump a lot heavier weight than what she is holding in the videos. Also I've found that having recently started on her videos, I will start aching (despite doing the stretches in her videos) about 2-3 days later and can't move my muscles at all and have to wait for them to recover before I can workout again which the first time it took me a week to recover and I wasn't using heavy weights either. Her exercises are good, it's just that I find them too fast to keep up with and find it irritating to have to keep pausing the tape to keep up with her as when I'm on rep 7 she's done or thereabouts; and she moves on to the next set of exercises so quickly she doesn't leave time for me the viewer to make the change without pausing the tape, which I find annoying as there are dumbells and barbells everywhere on the floor. Jane Fonda and Rachel McClish's weight training exercises are easier to follow though obviously are a different category to Cory's which I personally feel is perhaps for the more advanced serious hardcore bodybuilder than the normal person trying to do a weight training routine. As said her routine is great, it's just that because she does it so fast in the tape, it spoils the enjoyment for me cos I can't keep up with her.
