The reason I started weight training myself back in 1982! I still have a copy of pumping iron 2, the women.

Agreed, That's why I think a lot of girls waited the first year out to see what the division is really supposed to look like. Myself included.

Good call Steve, I was going with Dana Linn

I think Lisa Bickels would also be a contender. Got her pro card in 2006 and I don't think she competed st the pro level.

I am officially declaring my intent to try the new division because I have always been on of those girls too big for figure and to small for bodybuilding (or at least not hard enough). I am afraid...

While I don't expect to be the first WPD pro winner, I will officially declare my intent to compete in the new division. It looks like Jr. Nationals may be the first show and since I am in Chicago I...

I actually thought of you before reading this!

I think Dianna Tinnelle would be a good fit.

Oops, I meant does the new WPD begin in 2012.

OK so the national schedule is out for next year so wil this new division start with local shows in 2011 or does the whole division begin in 2010?

I'm all in for heels too!

As this thread is titled "rumors are flying," is this a proposal that has yet to be approved or has this been approved with the details yet to be hashed out?

Personally I am all for a division...

I think fitness trainer Mike Davies and Tanji Johnson sell DVD's on their websites.

I agree!

Siouxcountry.com has a whole thread devoted to saving fitness with a lot of resources. Also Mike Davies fitness factory works with a lot of successful fitness girls. You should definately go for it...

Definately pay to have someone spray you. I used Jan Tana the last time I competed and it was the best color I ever had on stage and it saved a lot of time. However, it was a little strange standing...

I love the look. I agree with Debbie because I too am a figure girl in a bodybuilders body. Heels and thongs work when you look like that.

For once I disagree with Steve. Mia had some pretty mad skills when she competed and and it looks like she has stayed in shape. Compared with today's fitness pros, I think it is her physique she...

I totally agree with your reasons as to why bodybuilders should go first. I competed as a bodybuilder more times than I did in figure. That's why I felt bad watching all of those hungry guys lying...

I think the promoters know that if the bodybuilders went before the figure and bikini girls, there wouldn't be an audience left for the rest of the show. Most of the people show up for the...

I will be 46 in May and I have also been lifting since the 80's. Did my first contest in 1986 and I last competed in 2006. I really didn't feel the injuries affect my training until this past year. I...

True...when you know guys are using...its there. There is no secret. I have decided to do the WNBF Masters show in October. Might be a swan song to my WNBF days. Who knows.[/quote]

Have you...

What ever routine you have been using seems to be working, you look great.

I do not post very often and never on this topic but for once I will add my two cents. I agree with Sassy69 that this topic has been exhausted and without changes from the IFBB/NPC there is not a lot...

The Wisconsin is definately May 15. Indiana has two national qualifiers, June 5 and June 12. The website is npcindiana.org.

I missed at animal house you by about an hour. John must have been in a good mood. He doesn't stay open an extra hour for just anyone! lol.

I actually had a female co-worker tell me I should take down all of the pictures of myself on the internet. I had to explain that the shots taken at a national show were not mine to remove and I am...

jlgiller has a good point. If you do nudes when you are young and carefree, you don't know if it is something you will regret later in life. Personally, I really wouldn't have a problem doing nudes...

This is great news, I will definately be there.

Hey Suzanne

I am glad to see you liked working out at the Animal House Gym in Milwaukee. I have been a member since 1989 when he first opened and I still really love the equipment.

I have read everything above about tendenitis and I am icing and wrapping it, but it still really hurts. I have it in my wrist and I feel pain in the inside os my wrist and occasionally up...

Thank you

Joe

About a week ago I tried to move something with my foot that was heavier than I thought (stupid, I know) I immediately felt something pull behind my left knee. It hurt for a few minutes and I...

Thanks for the info on the new website.

Every contest diet is a mental battle for me!

Am I the only one who has a hard time sticking to my diet in the summer? There is so much going on that it is torture for me to diet. I have always come in at my best in a spring or early summer...

Right now I am feeling ambitious for the new year. I plan to compete in the Wisconsin State May 15 or the Grand Prix Natural May 22 then Team Universe in July. Dieting starts Jan 2. It has been a...

I pretty much "lurk" daily and I am also working on posting more. I haven't competed since 2006 but I plan on comming back in 2010 so maybe I will have more to say. . .

You might want to find out if there is a family history of high BP because it could very well be genetic. My BP has been in the same range as yours for many years and no meds have been proscribed...

I wouldn't let the risk of rupture deter you if you really want implants. I never regretted my decision to get them. I had mine for nineteen years before they discovered the rupture. It was scary at...

Thanks for the great coverage! Waiting for the pics of the light heavies please!

I don't often post but since this just happened to me I thought I would comment. Silicone implants can rupture and no there isn't a risk of auto immune illness. The silicone usually stays contained...

Oh how I've missed you since the Illinois forum went off grid. Do let us know when you have your site up and running. If you are competing on the 16th then I will have to attend.
