Sunday, May 13, 2007


Hey Everyone!!!!!!

First off to all of you Mom's out there.........HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!!!!!!! Tell your Mom how much you love her today and give her a big hug!!!!!!!!!!


And now, onto official business.......

I have been working with an outstanding girl for the last year and a half, and about a year ago, I planted a seed...."You should really think about doing a show sometime"....

And so it began.

My client Maria K. competed in her first figure show yesterday at the Mid-Atlantic Natural Classic in the figure tall class and boy, did she go out there and kick some ass. This girl has come so far in the last year and a half, from squatting 245 and deadlifting the same, making such improvements in her body, she was bound to place high at the show. The difference between placing well and winning was in her mindset. Before I started her pre-contest prep with her I sat her down and said Maria, make sure this is something you really want to do. Make sure you are willing to make the sacrifices it takes to get you where you need to be, beacause once we start, you can't deviate from the plan. She looked me in the eye and said I am sure. And here we are, 12 weeks and one day later, and for the first time I worked with a client who didn't skip a beat. She didn't miss a workout, she didn't eat anything she wasn't supposed to. Split cardio sessions, water intake, water depletion, carb loading....even down to the last week's instructions of exfoliating and all that good stuff, she didn't deviate from the plan. And how do I know? Because she looked the way she was supposed to look. Even her tan, thru my instruction of that last coat I was sure she needed~was the best color onstage. Her hair and makeup(my specialty) looked gorgeous, and her stage presentation, her smile, and her confidence carried her onstage! We worked together with posing pro Elena Seiple(www.elenaseiple.com) and she nailed that too! Every night I would go to the gym to train I would see her spending and hour in the cardio room working in her heels to perfect the poses and transitions.

I cannot express how proud I am of her, so here is a HUGE CONGRATS to MARIA K. for winning her first show.....many more to come, and hopefully a pro-card along with it!!!!!

And of course, the pics to back the story up! You can see hundreds more shots of Maria in the members section, both with me and in her very own page in my GIRLFRIENDS section. Her competition video and photos will all be coming soon too!!!





So have a wonderful night and enjoy the weather!

Till' next time,

Keep pumpin' hard!!!
XOXO
