Mar 26, 2018

Kortney is a bodybuilder, Australia’s first ever female arm wrestling champion, founder and CEO of GRRRL Clothing and can regularly be seen on social media crushing watermelons between her powerful thighs (which recently caught the attention of Arnold Schwartzenegger).

You can also find her upcoming event, Grrrl Live, held in Las Vegas April 28th & 29th at www.grrrl.com/live
