About Lenda Murray

Lenda Murray was a cheerleader and record-holding sprinter during her teenage years in Detroit, Michigan. She discovered bodybuilding in 1984 after a professional suggested she compete due to her naturally muscular frame. She gained national attention by winning her first of six straight Ms. Olympia titles from 1990 to 1995.

Lenda briefly retired in 1997 after losing two consecutive Ms. Olympias to Kim Chizevsky-Nicholls before returning in 2002. She claimed two more Ms. Olympias in 2002 and 2003 before finishing runner-up in 2004 to end her career with eight titles.
