Competitive bodybuilding is a challenge, that I love and endure to keep my shape along with physical and mental health. When the show is over and life slows, I meet with my trainer to review pictures, and look at what needs to be improved with nutrition and training for the following year. It is a process of building and shaping the body with science till the final stage day when I am able to express the artistic poses.
I've been training and competing in competitive bodybuilding for 20 years. My first shows were with NANBA, then I continued to compete in NPC shows. Lately, women's bodybuilding is changing across the spectrum; the judges look for the growth and development along with symmetry and presentation, but I see more competitors coming in that are not dieted. The irony is getting beat by girls who are bigger and not well dieted. I am quite happy with my size as my goal is not to obtain a pro card. I do quite a bit of fashion modeling involving photography for newspaper ads, catalogs and general media. I am a business owner working as a family nurse practitioner, in all I have a big plate with little corners.
Looking at 2012, Craig and I have decided to continue training for bodybuilding with improvement in width of lats and a little more of a outer sweep to the quads. Also, the focus will be on the upper part of my glutes for more devlopment. It took a long time to build the lower glute now the upper needs more rounding. Upcoming shows I am looking to repeat the LA Classic in July 2012. Overall, we win when we accomplish our goals in developing the body.
Happy Training Days
