    Default Ericca Kern may return to the stage

    Nothing is confirmed but she said she is thinking about giving one more try.

    That is great news. If I may ask, where did you get that intel? I like Ericca a lot. Check out the epitome of feminine physiques thread. I posted A LOT of Ericca Kern pics. Now will she come back as a FBB or FIT/FIG or God forbid Bikini? Nothing against the beautiful bikini competitors. I just want more muscle.

    I agree, great news. However, by the sound of things she is planning at this point on coming back in figure rather than bodybuilding. Also, according to her she has yet to get permission from the IFBB to come back to competition. From her Facebook page :

    Ericca Kern If IFBB allows me to compete again I just realized that I will now have to do quarter turns in 6" heels... I was used to barefeet.... This may require a different type of coordination... The positive?... I get to go shoe shopping!!

    Ericca Kern Hi Myriam.. My true love is the iron and the bodybuilding..I just don't think that after 10 years I could gain the size I'd need to stand on stage next to everyone in the BB division.

    Some vids I found of her:







    For those not familiar with her, here's a short bio and her competitive history from BB.com:

    As the middle of three children, Ericca was often playfully 'tormented' by her siblings and was nicknamed "Bones" in obvious reference to her very thin framework. Though sleight of size in her childhood, Ericca always maintained an eager athleticism. However, due to her family's frequent moves, she was not able to play organized sports until finally settling in Hermantown Minnesota in 1975. At 18 years of age, what she also found was an eating disorder, albeit minor, it was nontheless quite unhealthy. Even though Ericca was rather thin (110-125 lbs) she convinced herself she was fat and would literally starve herself for days and, all the while, run 10 miles per day. She would then binge on ice cream and pizza and then run twice that day. Food was controlling her life. All that changed in 1985 when she found the tiny weight room at the University. Suddenly, she realized it was O.K. to eat and gained 35 pounds of mostly muscle in six months. It was at this time that she picked up her first bodybuilding magazine and was bitten by the bodybuilding bug.. Bodybuilding was put on hold temporarily in 1987 as Ericca married for the first time, graduated from UMD and gave birth to her daughter Jessica in 1988. After a divorce in 1992, Ericca met her current husband and begain training for her first bodybuilding show that she won in grand fashion. After a string of bodybuilding competition successes locally, in Minnesota, and at the national level Ericca and family moved to Irvine, California in January of 1995. And at the 1995 North American Championships, Ericca won the overall title and earned her Pro card.

    1998 Ms. International Results, 13th
    1997 Ms. International Results, 14th
    1996 Ms. International Results, 15th
    1995 North American, 1st Heavyweight and Overall Champ (Pro Card)
    1995 USA, 4th Heavyweight
    1994 NPC Nationals, 5th Heavyweight
    1994 Jr. USA, 1st Heavyweight
    1992 Minnesota State, 1st Heavyweight
    1992 Gopher State, 1st Heavyweight and Overall Champ

    Thanks for the info my friend. I see you have the infamous squat video that I posted. I may have posted some of those Black and white Ericca Kern Pics in the epitome of feminine physiques thread and I have a lot more of Ericca and Suzan Kaminga there too. Just feeling lazy digging them out. Reps to you buddy.

    That really sucks to hear that yet another great fem bber may consider something other than bodybuilding simply because she feels the girls are too big to compete. Thanks Femphysiquefan for the photos. You found one of my all-time favs of her in the black suit.
