Let me begin by saying that, as a headstrong Leo, it is very rare that you will see me taking a voluntary back seat BUT on this occasion I found a part of bikini competitor Amber Dawn Orton’s blog SO compelling and insightful that I threw in the towel when it came to writing an intro. Why? Well read it for yourself and you will see…
“To start off.. I want everyone to know a little about me. Sometimes we create images of what people’s lives are like based on assumptions and inaccurate interpretations. I know a lot of people probably assume I have an easy life, with help from mommy and daddy, or don’t have a lot of stresses or issues to distract me from being in "such good shape". This is completely not true. The reason I start by addressing this issue is because I don’t want any of you making excuses as to why you might not be able to chase your dreams..."
The 2010 IFBB/NPC Ft. Lauderdale Cup is becoming an International event as athletes from around the world are entering this unique "one of a kind" all Women's Fitness, Figure & Bikini competition.
You probably know her from the RX Forums as Iron Lady Doc but Malea Jensen has been competing in bodybuilding shows since 1999 and has a pretty impressive track record in terms of contest placings.
Although she hasn’t competed in a few years she is one of the many women in our sport actively participating behind the scenes. Her knowledge of diet and nutrition (not to mention training) has helped many fellow competitors reach their goals and, although competing in the near future is not presently on her mind that makes her no less worthy of interviewing on RX. In fact, as you read her story and her thoughts on training, diet and competition you will realize that Malea is indeed a great asset to our forum and RX Muscle in general…
