When I Started:
Feb, 2002
How I Started:
Initially my gym training (February, 2002) was to improve my sprint cycling performance. When I left school, moved, and entered the real world, despite taking time out from competition, I never stopped training or going to the gym. The gym that I used was full of New Zealand's top NZFBB bodybuilders. I had the sudden impulse 12 weeks out from the regional NZFBB competition (August, 2004) to enter the figure class for fun and the experience, because it was something totally different to any sport I had ever done (cycling was never 'fun'; when you get to the elite level in any sport [I think that] fun stops entering the equation). The guys were great, helping me out with training and diet. For the first time in my life I saw my body do things that I never thought possible (cyclists' resistance training is performance orientated, not for aesthetics). Seeing those changes was more rewarding than all my national and international cycling merits. Plus, I grew up as a tomboy, and the closer I got to the competition, the more I started to actually feel and WANT to embrace my femininity! I didn't have any expectations; I just wanted to see what I could do with the time that I had. I placed 3rd, but didn't compete at the NZFBB Nationals despite qualifying (As with cycling, I enjoyed the training more...) That competition (November, 2004) was supposed to be a 'first and last' event. But, since retiring from cycling (December, 2007), because of who I am and what my life has been like for the last 9 years, and because I HAVE to be doing SOMETHING, I decided to focus on bodybuilding (January, 2008)...
Why I Love It:
I am an adrenaline junkie with an exercise addiction! I love pushing my body to its limits, to see how far it will go. It hasn't broken yet, but I am (and I love it!) walking that very fine line between extreme and progress...
How I Stay Motivated:
Goal achievement. Challenging myself and proving that I can do what others tell me is not possible for me. I am a very 'driven' person. I see where I am and where I want to be and I use the stubborn willpower God gifted me with to get there. Goal-setting is definitely an important factor; one needs to know that what they are doing has a purpose!
BB Accomplishments:
Too many to recount in the sports arena...None for bodybuilding per se, being currently "A Work in Progress".

There is no winning without risking...And there are NO limits to what the body can do if there are no limits in the mind!...Tell me that I CAN'T do something and I will ALWAYS prove you WRONG...

Increase the muscle in my upper body, so that it is more in proportion with my legs, whilst staying as lean as possible.
Goal (Long):
2008: Increase the lean muscle mass in my upper body, in particular my delts and arms, so that my body is more balanced, whilst maintaining 8-9% bodyfat. 2009: Win my WNBF Figure Pro card. 2010-2012: After further study and gaining more practical industry experience, I want to open my own exercise physiology clinic.

I'm trying to get all my pullups to wear I touch my chest to the bar otherwise I don't count them. Your looking very lean yourself there hun. Keep it up!
yes most likely you will, im based in christchurch but if the nabbas go well enough i will head for the nats.. are you competing september or april next year? Nik.
i think i will stick to the bulking for another 3 months and then re-assess. I need to pack on more muscle while i can although i'm sure the lower carb intake will hit me hard when i start cutting.
