I realize I missed a question from Curt.

I got into doing the Physique division because I was tired of the beat down I was getting in Figure haha. I always did well at local shows, but on the National stage, I never placed. I was told I was always to hard and muscular. though I tried my best to shrink down, i just wasnt happy w that look. i really look better w more muscle. my frame can hold moe muscle and i look better fuller. I had a lt of people pushing me to do the new division (ill write more about this in my journal!). making the switch wa one of the best things i have ever done. not just because i earned my pro card, but because it allows me to train and diet how i like. the joy of competing is back in my life now, and i look forward to the journey every day!

I bolded the part Jilly that struck me, that is why we should all do this. Do it for the joy!!!

thats just it! so many people get wrapped up in turning Pro, or winning local shows etc. they lose themselves to the sport. I have done it before too, let competing consume me and my actions. I think most people have falled down that road before. Its almost like a re-birth when you realize you CAN do this sport and live a balanced life. Those that chose to balance their lives with what really matters to them are much happier people!

Sure we all want to win, and do well,, but we are on stage for maybe 5 minutes if we are lucky.... 5 minutes..... the journey to get to those 5 minutes should be the exciting part!!!! training, dieting, watching our bodies change, that is the what we should be enjoying. Enjoying the process!

Absolutely!!!

[JillyRev]

Anyone have questions for me???

come on! you can ask anything!! lol i might not answer lmao but you can ask

[tinyshrek]

Jill how do you feel about the results of the Sac show where they rewarded a MUSCULAR female? Which they said they wanted it toned down...

[Anabolic5150]

Jilly,

What made you decide to want to compete? Was it seeing a physique you admired, were you competitive as a kid and this was a natural outlet? Tell us why you do it. I love seeing the reasons people do this crazy sport!

[Prince]

what are your off season and competition stats? (heights, weight, bf%, etc.)

what are you thoughts on cardio, necessary to get ripped?

what is your ultimate goal as far as this sport?

how do you feel about the way WP is being judged?

[JillyRev]

Jill how do you feel about the results of the Sac show where they rewarded a MUSCULAR female? Which they said they wanted it toned down...

good question. i actaully dont think she was too muscular at all.... i think she was just right. I had her winning the show even before she stepped on stage. I think her look is more of what they want. Its hard to say because this is still such a new division, and to be fair, we are all trying to figure it out. AND you can only judge who shows up. Do i wish we could be more muscular, YES, I personally love the look i had 2 days out from the Desert Muscle Classic. ill post pics. but it was way to much, and i had to eat my way into the show.

Jilly,

In college like most people I gained a lot of weight. Growing up, I had always been an athlete and was always in awesome shape. When I got to college, I decided socializing and going out to the bar was more important than working out.
After college I moved to San Diego w a few of my girlfriends. Everyone was in shape, looked good, and was always exercising in some way. I realized I was way to heavy for my own comfort level and I got a trainer. I lost 30lbs in about 3 months and felt great! People at the gym were always telling me I had the right frame for Figure. At that time, I had never payed attention to the sport and just shook off the comments.

I moved to NYC and continued training w a new trainer. He was an NPC Bodybuilder. I watched him win the overall at the NY Metropolitans, and while there checked out the other girls. I knew I could step on stage and look better than most of the competitors. So I set my sites on a show that November '07, the Eastern USAs. The rest is history! I was bitten by the competition bug and never turned back!

what are your off season and competition stats? (heights, weight, bf%, etc.)

Off season really depends, Last year I got up to 140, im 5'5. I was on stage at the Desert Muscle Classic at 127. Lasy year I was 122 and 124, but this was coming back from competing in Figure at 118 to 120. i never take my body fat. i just know its low. im assuming its really low, if id have to guess on stage last year i was like 6% at the first show, about 8% at Jr Nats when i turned pro. I think now its prob 8 to 10? Not sure! i just go by how i look lol!

I think that Cardio is a must, but diet is also key. i think there is a fine balance between too much and too little. It really depends on the person. I end up doing up to 2.5 hours, and always pull back at the last weeks. i feel as though for myself, i want to be ready early and cardio helps me get there. I also think it depends on what division you are in and what the look is!

Ultimate Goal! THE O BABY!!!! I want the chance to prove that I am the best, and can be the best. Just to qualify and stand on that stage where the best of the best has stood would be an honor.

so far, its a tough call. i was surprised at the call outs at the first show. it did not go as i thought it would. I though Dana and I would be 1-2, with Tracy and Marilina as 3-4...
at the second show, i was surprised. but again, you can only judge who is there.

and the third show in Sac, well i like Karin's look, not a real fan of Sara's physique, though i think if she came in tighter i would like her look more.
