Hey everyone yesterday I spent the day at the pool and I got a great tan and had a nice relaxation day. It was sooo hot! I also did two 45 minute sessions of cardio one in the morning and one later at the end of the day. I did not lift weights yesterday but today I am going to train chest and arms. I am also going to do two 45 sessions of cardio as well. But first i have to get this apartment in order…it is a complete mess.

So here I am sitting in bed I just finished eating an oatmeal pancake. They are really good I put 1/2 cup of oatmeal and 1/2 cup of eggbeaters a splash of cinnamon and a splash of vanilla extract and put in the magic bullet and then cook it on a skillet w/pam and yummy!

What is your profession?
Fitness Model

Were you involved in sports or fitness prior to bodybuilding and how did you get started with weight training?
I was always involved in sports in school, basketball, volleyball, track, gymnastics, cheerleading. I was a serious tomboy as a young girl, I had three older brothers whom I played basketball with and rode dirt bikes with.

Was it a goal for you to compete in bodybuilding competitions right from the beginning or was it something that grew in your mind as time went on and you saw the progress in your body?
At first I had planned on competing, but decided to focus on the modeling aspect more.

Please tell me something about your training routine (ie: how many days per week / training split /cardio, etc.)
I train at least 5 days a week, usually an hour of weights and 30 minutes cardio. I hit each body part at least once a week. and legs sometimes twice.

What is your favorite exercise in the gym and which one you don’t like so much?
Legs and back are my favorites to train. My least favorite would be chest ans tri’s.

Which body part is your best in your opinion?
I feel my back and traps are strong and respond very fast, compared to my other body parts.

If you don’t mind would you give me some stats (best lifts and some body measurements)?
36D
28
36
Biceps 15.5
Legs 24

Wouldn’t you like to watch me do an entire arm routine? I can begin with the curling bar. We’ll start with two 20lb. plates on each end and look at those arms. Watch me from behind. Look in the mirror. Put both your hands on my biceps and stroke those cannons. Watch me curl this weight right up to my chest. I’m only warming up. Give me two more ten-pound plates. Do you like the vascularity in my bulging biceps? Squeeze them while I flex and lift. Do you think the veins on my biceps are sexy? Would you like to lick them while I flex?
