Anyone have any ideas where I would find out about contest trainers in my area? A friend suggested that even a couple sessions would help a lot.

Thanks,

hI 12%!

Did you try asking people at your local gym? I know on the bulletin boards and everywhere it seems like in my gym there is an ad for PTs.... yeah, I guess they are everywhere...but maybe word of mouth from the other members of your club could help....

Good luck!

Also, there is the DPw8 team who have helped many: http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/personal_training.php

WOW Lina, NG....THANKS!

Yes 12%...... we do that too, except you'll have to change you name to 8 1/2% to 11% depending on what type of contest?

Well, I did get down to 11%, but 12% was my dream

At 8.8% I think I would be too ripped for a figure Comp, 'cause I do have muscles!

I belong to an on line coaching club, but I am interested in some actual contest training, as in the 1/4 turns, walking, etc.

Thanks,

Experienced competitors and posing Videos are your best hope...unless you are near a large city populated by contest trainers! (fees can be astronomical, especially with contest week support)

Good LucK

This was going to be my suggestion for the routine and Lina's suggestion for the training and dieting....

You know DP is only a state away

Or.... use the post boards at a few local gyms. Wanted: Blah, blah, blah.

Post this and you will get several calls just have to weed them out. Oh and use real words and not the blah, blah's doubt you'd get any calls from that.. LOL

Saw your picture.. at 12%? Whatever you were at you were looking awesome!! Tanned, tight and totally hot!! What being hot doesn't count for points in figure comps??

I'm only 30 minutes from Culver City and will probably attend this year. Be wonderfull to watch you win!!

Okay, I am scheduled for a few sessions with the IMO best trainer in my gym. While I was talking to her, another trainer told me she knows how to do the cat walk and 1/4 turns.

So that ought to give me a jump start to kick it.

I told her I will come already warmed up and stretched, to make full use of my hour, and to push me hard, harder then I can push myself!
