My client Alli began training with me on December 17th, 2012 for an NPC contest which will be held on April 13th, 2013. These images show her one week before she began contest prep and how she looked on February 18th after 8 weeks of dedicated training and prep. She will compete in both Open and Masters Figure. This woman is tremendous and I am so very proud of her! She has stuck with her meal plan and training despite having two small children and a very full life. Talk about inspiring!
If you are ann NPC Bikini or Figure competitor, or you are THINKING about competing, please check out my newly launched contest prep site! I have a full menu of services, so if you just need assistance on posing, or if you need comprehensive coaching, I am here for you ladies! If you are new to competing, it is important to realize that a lot of details go into looking your best onstage:
PROPER TRAINING FOR YOUR BODY TYPE AND THE DIVISION
PROPER AND STRUCTURED MEAL PLAN
PROPER SUPPLEMENTATION
PROPER SUIT CUT AND COLOR
PROPER ACCESSORIES
APPROPRIATE STAGE MAKEUP
WELL APPLIED SPRAY TAN
On top of this there are countless other details which are easy to overlook if you are already overwhelmed with the pressure of competing.
I will guide you through the entire process so that you won’t need to worry about those little details. Programs are delivered via email so you do not need to live locally in the Los Angeles area.
Just in case there are people out there who think I don’t hit it hard at the gym, let’s get one thing straight: when I go to the gym, I work my tail off. Once I have entered the gym, my game face is on. Within five minutes of my lift I am sweating like a pig, moving rapidly through the exercises with no more than 30 seconds between sets. I am not afraid to make my physical efforts known via occasional grunts and yells. This is because I lift HEAVY, or I move so quickly from one exercise to another in a superset that I always create an intense workout vibe which has me out of breath and feeling my muscles work.
It always bugs me when I see ladies at the gym who are covered in makeup, with cute little outfits that they must adjust so frequently that their rest time between sets often extends beyond five minutes. There are reasons why I wear the message tanks that I do. I don’t want to be bothered with chit-chat or lose my focus on what I need to do at the gym. When things get really intense I will drip sweat all over the benches (and YES, I wipe this up with disinfectant). I don’t wear makeup and my hair typically goes up into a utilitarian ponytail. The image I posted here is a rare one with my hair down. I often finish my routine with a sport bra and tank which are soaked through with sweat. I don’t care if I look like I ran a marathon. That’s the idea. I like looking like I just kicked my own butt. Because I just did.
So if you are looking for a pretty princess at the gym, you won’t see her anywhere near me!

If I had given into my natural genetic setpoint which gave me a relatively flat booty due to my Japanese ancestry, I would never have transformed my posterior into what it is today. In recent years the quest for a round butt has been one of the most highly coveted physical attributes for women. In keeping with this highly sought goal, I am providing readers with a superset routine which will create the full and curvaceous look which fills out a pair of jeans nicely and turns heads in a good way!
THE ROUTINE
Make sure to move from one exercise within a superset to the next quickly, without rest. Once you have completed a superset, rest for 30 seconds then begin your next superset. Complete all sets in Superset 1, then complete all sets in Superset 2, etc.
Superset 1 –
5 sets of the following:
25 jump squats
20 stiff-legged deadlifts with dumbbells
15 stride jump crossovers How to do: Using a bench or plyo box, place one foot up on bench with that leg almost parallel to floor. Jump explosively over bench, springing off bench and landing with your other foot on the opposite side of the bench. Repeat on other side.
Superset 2 –
5 sets of the following:
15 walking dumbbell lunges
20 Butt Blaster
15 prone leg curls
Superset 3 –
4 sets of the following:
20 one-legged dumbbell deadlifts
20 one-legged cable kickbacks
