"I want to Gain Muscle."

Personal Info And Background:
Real Name: Leigh Keess
Sex: Female
Age: 55
Location: Estevan, Saskatchewan, Canada
Occupation: Personal trainer
Personal Website:
Gym: Souris Valley Leisure Centre & also Yak's Fitn
Gym Location: Estevan, Sk.
When I Started: 2000
How I Started: I had been working out on my own for a couple of years, when I hit a plateau and asked my husband for a series of training sessions (for Christmas) with local National B'bing competitor, Shelly Yakimchuk. He came through....and so did she!!! Next thing I knew, I was competing!
Why I Love It: I love the self-confidence it gives me; and the challenge of bringing lagging bodyparts into competition form.
How I Stay Motivated: My husband and I started a weight-lifting club at the local highschool, as well as taking on many private clients....and they keep me motivated! I really believe that competitors have to look at themselves as their greatest competition....I strive to put a better "package" onstage at every show.
BB Accomplishments: I have won quite a number of titles, but 2006 was my banner year....at Saskatchewan Provincials, I took 1st in Women's Middleweight, 1st in Women's GrandMasters, Women's Overall Champion, and Best Female Poser. Then, in Sept., went on to Canadian Nationals to take 1st place in Women's GrandMasters!!! Also, I was chosen as Bodybuilding.com's Over-40 Bodybuilder Of The Week....and began getting emails from all over the world!! THAT really makes the hours in the gym feel worthwhile!! Since hen, I have also been voted Estevan &District Female Athlete of the Year (see post re: getting award from Gary Bettman); and most recently, South East Saskatchewan Athlete of the Year....the award will be given out later this month. Since I first posted this profile, I have also become accredited to judge at the Provincial level, and have been written up in the August 2007 issue of MuscleMag (page 207)!!
Forum Signature: Its NEVER too late!!!!!

What is the most common reason that somebody gets injured while lifting?
If in the gym, it is poor technique. But most b'blders I know
who have had rather serious injuries, it has always been outside
the gym, when their minds aren't focussed on form. FORM FIRST,

What is the one tip you would give somebody who is just getting started?
Hire a good coach. Ask around...look at the physiques in the gym,
ask questions. Don't waste time "reinventing the wheel"...hire
someone who's already been there...they are always worth far more

HIIT appears to be some high intensity training, sprints, alot of running around. I do that anyway when I have coffee in the gym.hehee. I love those shorts but they are so tight. Damn, how tiny are some of those guys. I couldnt wear them when I weighed 108! Doing any shows this year?
