Mary Roberts was one of the top professional female bodybuilders of the 1980’s…..as she possessed a classic short 5 ft 3 in thick physique featuring an overwhelming upper body even as a lightweight…..while her big arms, deltoids and chest with her mature looks and flashing, almost challenging dark eyes projected a very powerful, confident aura onstage.
A three-page photospread in Muscle & Fitness magazine’s September 1982 issue on various female bodybuilder physique types used Roberts, doing a side chest pose in a blue leotard, to epitomize the most heavily muscled physique. The copy quoted famed male bodybuilder Casey Viator as calling Roberts physique “awesome.”
