Australian and Australasian Female Bodybuilding Champion. Now Figure Class 1 State Champion. Transformation complete, hope you like. Now I'm a Figure Girl. Working on refining the look and blazing my way up.
www.geocities.com/chynas_nicI've been weight training since 1995 and competing in women's physique since 1997.I originally grew up in Melbourne Victoria. I did the usual kid things, school, Little Athletics, prefering middle and long distance as I could go into my own zone and gymnastics.My knees where shot by my mid teens, so didn't get involved much in any sports again till my late 20's. During which time I worked for 15 years in the horse racing industry in Vic and N.S.W, with commercial breeding and training. In this I started out at the bottom, as you do, but very quickly moved my way up into management positions and was regularly sort out to work on various well known stables and properties. Vet nursing with equine is very rewarding especially in pre and post natal care. Though some may die you were quickly rewarded with another making it through.In 1995 after leaving the race scene and moving to Cairns in Far Nth Queensland I was very thin weighing only 55kg, at 172cm I looked like a willow stick. I started work as a dancer of all things, I also joined a gym to try and put some meat on my bones and get some shape about me. I loved the weights and very soon the competitive drive rose up again to challenge myself and I was addicted. As a dancer I grew in confidence, but I never let it consume me as working as an exotic dancer (yes a stripper) is far from glamorous as some would lead you to think. I started competing with IFBB in a few small competitions doing women's physique and in 2002 I moved down to Brisbane where I'm getting better and better. Winning 4 State and a National and Australasian Titles. I've been training now for 13 years, I like both cardio and weight training (prefering the free weights but do vary my training with other equipment}.I no longer work as a dancer, for those who have done this kind of work will understand, it can be a soul destroying venture. Not everyone has a kind word for exotic dancers, for the most part they are ok but a large portion are rude and down right vulgar. They can kiss the dirty spur of my stiletto's.I now work as a security officer and crowd controller, this can be very rewarding with many challenges. For the most part I enjoy this work, but I've quickly developed a strong distaste for intoxicated arguementive people who are too drunk to see reason. I'm looking in other areas for work away from the alcohol.I love animals, their companionship alone can lift the lowest of spirits.It is always a pleasure to hear that I have inspired someone to follow their goals and dreams, just by doing what I love to do. Their excitement spurs me on furtherNow at a National level with womens physique my goal is to represent Australia with distinction at an International level.But the road has changed direction a lil' recently. January 2007 a friend ran an idea past me, "Would I consider giving NABBA Figure a go"? Well I've done it. It was kept under wraps as there are plenty out there who think I can't cut it. The look on their faces as I was about to walk on stage and compete in my first Figure event said it all, I am now a Figure Competitor.Out of the strong, came forth "Sharp Curves" exceeding my own expectations.The biggest compliment I have been paid is that I still hold a very feminine look, not over done with too much muscle, but rather a more appealing well trained look. As such I believe that I would be more appealing to a greater selection of the female market than some other, perhaps larger women.I have done some television commercial work and magazines. This has been alot of fun and looking to do more.
