Jenny Worth

[~gymdiva~]

so anyone that's known me for a while knows that she is the inspiration behind my competing....I remember seeing her in an M&F and being like, OMG! I wanna look like that!!!! and it helped that we were the same height and age :)


I scanned some shots I have of her that I used to have on this huge cutout poster I made....there's all sorts of "old school" shots in the folder now so I'll have to scan some of them but for now, I'll do a dedication thread of sorts to the woman that started it all for me :o

[~gymdiva~]

I know this one looks funny b/c of the background but it helped the tiny pics to scan....


and how can you not love the pink wig!

[~gymdiva~]

more....

[~gymdiva~]

I loved the bicep article they did with her and DJ Wallis....I'd like to have these guns as a LW! and when you think about it, they don't really make fitness competitors quite like this anymore....

[~gymdiva~]

um, yeah, I'll take this look!

[~gymdiva~]

and last but not least, the two pics I loved of her most in terms of comp looks....now the purple it's not as obvious but the blue two piece made me think she'd be one hell of a LW! here's to me looking like this come next competition!

Great post Diva. Were those lifesize cutout posters that you made?

[PTB]

Nice, I was thinking about posting some shots of her in the Alicia Marie thread.

Definatley a fav back in the day, who I felt should have edged Susie Curry in a few of those Fitness O's

[~gymdiva~]

I agree!

[fitmomma3]

LOVED HER!!! Andddd if I remember correctly she actually had a thyroid problem that caused her prep to be about three times harder than most!! VERY INSPIRING!

[~gymdiva~]

she was hypothyroid....you are correct! (as usual ;) ) yeah I can remember reading an article where she stated having to do upwards of two weeks of 3hr cardio session combined with 500cal all egg white days just to make her body come in the way it did....how she could do a routine after I that I'll never know! later she stated that her doctor was apparently not treating her properly and she switched docs and was able to get on a much healthier track....

[fitmomma3]

^^^ talk about NOT making excuses!!!!! While it sounds very unhealthy, I can't imagine doing everything you were suppose to and just not being able to get there because your body wouldn't cooperate, so I can see how she could resort to that. But that takes some serious kahunas and dedication...

[~gymdiva~]

no kidding....makes me sad she's not still competing but I'm sure her body was glad she found a better balance....and I think she's DJing now! she did at the Arnold after party back in 05....she looked damn hot in this pleather halter onesie!

[fitmomma3]

hmmmm a DJ huh? She would be a GREAT person to interview now and see the aftermath of competing, and her body and experiences. Also to see how she feels about it, and how she would do it the same or differently.

[~gymdiva~]

I agree....wonder if Dave has any connections out there for that....

[FitGems]

Funny you started this thread. It was her birthday yesterday! :)

Jenny is truly a legend in ever sense of the word.

Some said an interview?!?! I just happen to have her as a member of FitGems, and I've just sent something about that prior to looking at this thread.

I'll keep you posted. ;)

[~gymdiva~]

heehee I didn't want to seem too stalkerish on the bday thing :o

[~gymdiva~]

omg how could I have left this pic out!

[Ibarramedia]

omg how could I have left this pic out!


How long ago was that photo taken?

[~gymdiva~]

2005 Arnold

[Ibarramedia]

I thought so, because you look a lot smaller in the pic. Your physique is more developed now.

[tight booty]

One of my favs for sure! Very inspiring since she had to work twice as hard as everyone else, to get in the shape she needed to be when competing!

[~gymdiva~]

check out what I found looking through the M&F galleries:

[Ibarramedia]

Good find. But I like her jacked up version the best.

[Carolyn Bryant]

OMG. Jenny was definitely one of my favorites. I was at the Olympia when she wore that pink cat suit. The routine was off the chain. Too bad she didn't stick around longer. I love fitness. I don't understand why it's not more popular.

[~gymdiva~]

I remember how popular it was then and I guess some of it can be chalked up to they actually used them in layouts and articles all the time....now all you see are figure and bikini chicks....



sometimes I wonder if some people shy away from fitness stars b/c of the whole Kelly Ryan ordeal but I doubt that's a major reason....maybe just a minor one....

Nice posts on Jenny Worth. She was definately a fav back in the day.

She would have been great at figure

[getlifted]

Jenny was the first figure girl I ever fell in love with haha

[NJMuscle]
