March 2016

Sooooo I spoke with my trainer during the session today, about competing and what it would take. Told her since she had mentioned it back in April it has been back burning in my mind. It would be too close and much for October but the following competition would be in March of 2016. Given the time, better results are possible.

I’m excited. Not like jumping up and down excited but the good, collected, tingle in my eye excited. She’s going to mention October with her husband, as he’s been training someone else with similar physique has me but March seems the ideal and best for optimal results.

Things are work are still busy but I’m more comfortable and confident on my new duties. Now feels a good time to work hard at something new.

Quick thanks to a few of many. Your posts and shares of your hard work and dedication are truly inspiring. #ManyHappyReturns

TRACY NASH: IFPA PRO WOMEN'S BODYBUILDER

TRACY NASH: IFPA PRO WOMEN’S BODYBUILDER

I moved to Maryland in January 2012.  I began searching for a posing coach so I would be prepared for my first pro bodybuilding competition in September.  I called David after finding his name on a website for trainers and coaches.  I read his information about contest prep and knew he would be exactly what I needed.  

I spoke to David and he invited me to his posing clinics on Sunday mornings.…

baby steps

I went to my first "competition" meeting tonight.... bodybuilding/figure/physique/bikini etc. I don't quite know what category I would fit in to... and frankly, neither did the 2 IFBB pros who were there. I was told "physique" by one judge and "figure" by another.

Things I was told: "you must be a runner" & "you've got great quads and calves, but need to work on your lat spread (aka "V")".

I am probably going to see where my training takes me (I have until August.... barring any major set backs or me chickening out) to make up my mind. I was pretty out of place-- most the the girls had on their bikini's and clear heels... and there I was.... in spandex, totally unprepared... and pale. Hmph. Oh well. Some of those girls are competing in 3 weeks and frankly, I'm not.

It's a huge field that is very new to me. I'm ready to learn and see where I can go. I think I might need a coach...

NY Times Magazine: Heavenly Body

Yes, today's This Girl Will Beat You is a female Episcopal priest, the Rev. Dr. Amy Richter, who "gives a new definition to 'Sunday best." Here she writes about her experience in the physique competition at the Wisconsin State Fair:

For our solo routines, each of us was introduced to the crowd as we came onstage. “Next we have Amy Richter, from Milwaukee. She is 37 years old, and she works as . . . a priest! Well, hallelujah!” The applause was loud. I performed my routine perfectly to a song by Macy Gray. I couldn’t stop smiling.

I came in second. Third went to an amateur wrestler. I wonder if she tells people she was beaten by a priest as quickly as I say I beat her. I carried my three-foot-high trophy proudly through the fairgrounds. The trophy was so flashy that children stopped to ask how I won it. “Tell them you got it for reading a lot of books,” my husband advised. Noble, but no way.

I wanted to say I won it for being the strongest priest in the state, for being a woman who is a priest with a really strong and healthy body. I wanted to tell them I won it for being brave, but that wasn’t really true, because I hadn’t been brave enough to tell the people it would be the biggest risk to tell.

“I got it for being myself,” I said.

"Being myself"--the key attribute of winning athletes.
