Were you always strong or athletic? I was always fairly strong for my size and relatively fit but I was quite skinny before I started lifting weights.
What other sports have you played? Tennis and basketball. I was good at swimming and sprinting in high school and always got awards for fitness tests (One Silver, the rest were Gold). I set the record at high school for the flexed arm hang too.
When/Why did you start lifting weights: Getting my drivers licence at 18 reduced my fitness levels somewhat so I started lifting weights at 21 to get back in shape. A friend of mine wrote a basic bodybuilding routine for me and I’ve been hooked ever since.
What motivates you to train? I love being fit, strong and healthy and have always admired women such as Cory Everson, Lenda Murray and Monica Brant. I remember first seeing women like them in fitness and bodybuilding magazines and thinking, "That’s the look I want!". I’m also very motivated by strongwomen like Jill Mills and my friend, Sharon Waters. Society tends to expect women to be weak. I like to prove that need not be the case and in the process, motivate other women to achieve their true potential.
How do men and women react to your muscles? Most are positive. I’m often asked if I work out or bodybuild if I’m wearing something that shows my muscles. Unless I’m flexing, I don’t really look that big so most are surprised at my strength. People generally tend to notice my arms and shoulders first. I do get the odd negative remark mainly from guys who aren't into muscular women.
What are your future goals? To remain fit, strong and healthy for as long as possible.
Personal bests (at 31st Jan 2004) -
Could you share some of your training routine with us: I’m currently doing a three-day split as follows:
Monday - Legs
Wednesday - Back / shoulders / biceps
Friday - Chest / triceps
I always include heavy compound movements such as Deadlifts, Squats, Bench presses, Clean and press and others. I do a combination of bodybuilding and powerlifting movements to focus on size, proportion and strength.
