1994. I was 15 years old and I came after I saw Corey in film Double Impact. I liked it and came to build up serious muscles, not to get leaner or toned... I liked Arnold before but I had no idea women might have muscles too. I dreamed about having a cartoonish body as I never might identify myself trough those toothpick models. X frame fascinated me.

That is the question... Bodybuilding gave me so much - it made me selfconfident, strong (mentally) and hard. It made me disciplined, dedicated, passionate. Trough bodybuilding I met a lot of great people, great friends all over the World. I met legends and became friend with them as well. I might work with legends and learn from them. I was featured in printed magazines, I had training logs and interviews in electronic media. I wrote articles, trained other athletes and was happy when they won.... I had numerous photoshoots with great photographers (and no I did not pay, they payed me :D). I worked at booths, expos, I met tons of fans, signed pictures, posters, magazines... That was a life I never even dreamed about... BUT I also met a lot of cowards. I heard any insults possible... People pointed at me and laughed. I got nasty emails and messages under my pictures. Those were people outside... but within I was under a microscope. Any so called fan might judge me under articles about me. Anyone might point out my flaws, no matter if it was true or not. I was under pressure from media and also organizations, because I was representing. I had to learn how to smile and be humble even in times when I was down and wanted to cry. The higher you are the more responsibilities you have, the more visible and vulnerable you are.... However I made it and I would never change what I had done....
