Welcome Amy!!

I think your definately a rising star and look forward to seeing you on stage again if you so choose to do it.

I'm wondering, what are your future contest plans and your goals with your physique?

I did my first BB show in 2003, which was a regional called the Eastern Seaboard. I won first in my middleweight division and best overall for the show. It was a national qualifier, and what did I know?
A few months later, I found myself at the NPC USA's in Las Vegas. Boy, did I feel out of my league! I called my mother crying after I got a load of the other girls in the show at weigh-in. But, remarkably, I placed 10th in the middleweight division.
The next year, again as a middleweight, I placed 5th. The following year, I had gained some muscle, and had to make the big decision of jumping up into the highly competitive light-heayweight class. I placed 13th.
This year, I decided to give the USA's a break, and headed to Miami for the 2006 NPC Nationals, my first ever. I was thrilled to place 5th as a light-heavy, with competition such as Elena Seiple and Debi Laszewski.

Hi Eddie,

Thanks for your post.

I have been advised to do the Nationals in 07 and/or possibly the show in pittsburg which I know nothing about I believe it is held in September.
As far as my training, I would like to develop the sweep in my quads, bring up my hamstrings, and define my glutes but I am open to suggestions In the past my upper body was a bit behind now that I have grown a bit I look forward to hitting my legs hard. I love to train legs! Any one reading this please tell how to get that sweep in my quads!

ooops I posted under my husband! Still new to this!

Amy Neal

Here's a picture from Jr. USA's:
Renee went onto the Nationals in Miami in November and took 5th in the lightweight division. She Rocks!

I;d like to know how to bring that sweep out, too! I thought going deeper on squats and leg presses and varying stance should help. Two inquiring minds/bodies want to know........Come on y'all - help a few girls out here!

Amy,

I am no expert by any means but if sweep is what you want do lots of hack squats... feet turned out like a duck. It works

Hi Gene and eveyrone

Well I wanted to introduce myself...........................I competed at the 2006 Figure Nationals in Edmonton and the experience was great.............

I've been training for 22 years - first started as a bodybuilder up to the national level and now changed over to figure in 2006.................

Is it time for me to retire at 45 years of age? The decision was a struggle but decide a few weeks ago I will be at the 2007 Figure Nationals........will compete in the middle height and along with those great masters.

LoriAnne from Ontario if your out there......................a big hug and hopefully I'll be seeing you soon at some upcoming local competitions and on stage at the Nationals.

Thanks Gene for supporting all the athletes and have a fabulous evening.............

Hey man, just to give you the notice now.

I do welcome you to the forum and that intro shot is nice.

BUT - this is a LADIES physique website - so don't go around posting a bunch of pics of yourself. This place does not need to become another outlet for a bunch of cocky guys to come here show off cause I know I for one don't want to see it, and know there some others who are agree with me.
