Personal Info And Background:

Occupation: Fitness Spokesperson/ Personal Trainer/ Writer for Bodybuilding.com and STF Magazine

When I Started: Feb, 2005
How I Started: It was always a dream of mine to compete, and I started this journey because I was challenged to do so.
Why I Love It: I love being able to sculpt my physique through hard work. Lifting weights is a spiritual experience for me and gets me through to the other side of any situation I am dealing with.
How I Stay Motivated: My motivation comes from diverse sources. Just as I am a multidimensional person so are the reasons that I workout and compete. Additionally, I am a person with intense drive to always push for a better physique. It is that drive inside of me that keeps my spirit alive and pushes me everyday. This lifestyle has given me much purpose and direction. Bodybuilding is an integral part of my continual path toward self betterment.

How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?

you said it! As I started gaining back muscle(my personal fave on a woman, i find), i hated hiding it with hair, so i went shorter, shorter..(see progress pics) and eventually, wanted to show it all! Plus it makes it so easy at the gym! You also wear it great-perfect image of femininity and fitness(and smart!!)

Hey wassup yo! smokin as ever! Sad Shark Fact; There are almost six billion people on our planet, and less than ten people are killed by sharks each year. More sharks are killed by people -- over 12 million each year.

I saw your spread in Ironman. WOW! You look fantastic.What a great opportunity. Competed sat. and it went ok. I ended up a heavy weight due to some unwanted water. It was me and one other girl she killed me, but I know I am clean and I am pretty sure she can't say that. I had fun anyway. Good luck to you.

Ava, Love the new ONYX photo's you posted! I am scheduled to shoot with George for two full days in November! My husband wanted the best phot's possible, so we selected ONYX. I love his work, I just hope I'm up to the task! It's still almost six weeks away, so I'm not bothering George with questions but I have about a million going through my mind. Anyway, I love your shots and pray I get some half that good! :) Amanda62
