Greatest accomplishment from lifting and/or fitness in general?
Definitely qualifying for nationals at my first NPC bikini competition!
Favorite exercise to do in the gym?
Pull ups for sure..probably because I have always been able to do them! I especially love weighted pull ups with chains. I also love to use chains for dips, another one of my favorite exercises. I also enjoy decline push ups with a plate on my back. As you can see, I love bodyweight exercises and challenging myself on these by adding additional weight! A new favorite of mine is Goblet split squats, the quad burn is no joke!
Ever have guys challenge you in any sports, arm wrestling or wrestling?
Not yet! I have, however, beat guys in pull up and push up contests. I am also proud to say that my very first time pushing the prowler I was able to match my training partner (a 200 lb powerlifter) in weight!
Anything you would like to add or tell your fans?
While it is important to be healthy, there is a fine line between health and obsessiveness. I used to be the girl who would bring tupperware containers of chicken and broccoli to family gatherings, even during the offseason. Now, I let myself enjoy treats on these special occasions. And no, I don’t do extra cardio or starve myself the next day to “undo the damage.” However, I don’t skip workouts and I stay on track with all of my other meals so it does not have a negative impact on my body composition. Point being, a few not so healthy meals will not make you fat, it is what you do on a consistent basis that matters!
