I did that show in 2006 and it was great. Placed 3rd in figure and won the Masters (my one and only figure win lol). It was fun.
Good luck to anyone doing this show.

I would have never guessed 40! She should compete in the up coming Masters. :)

How many female bodybuilders were there?

[tammyp]

6 bodybuilders....but figure was small too. tracy greenwood has brought several girls to this show b4, but only 1 this year. i think they had 7 figure total.

[NYCStrongFox]

[joelster]

[joelster]

The girl on the far right, Vivian, also competed in bbing, but all of my bb pics of her are fuzzy :(

There was also one lone fitness girl who also competed in figure Edna V., but she couldn't sit still on stage long enough for me toget a shot, lol.

Me and my buddy sat next to her (Gina) friends/family during pre-judging. I moved over and let her take my seat,she didn't look to comfy sitting on the floor, lol. I'll see what other shots I have and i'll put them on the wny board.

[tammyp]

thanks joel! i would really appreciate it! do you have any night pics of jeanene too?

[NYCStrongFox]

Wow, that's amazing. She looks awesome.

[joelster]

Tammy....I sat way back for the night show, even though I had reserved seats. The pics look like ass, but I will post them. That's the problem with having a show in a flat-floored convention center as opposed to an auditorium. It was very easy to get out of your seat to walk around and mingle, but a total pain in the ass to shoot any sort of decent picture from your seat, without having 20 heads in the way. Plus I had the zoom out around 195mm to get a better shot, and I should have used a tripod, but I had no room for one. But here they are anyways....

I'm very impressed with these competitors for a small show. These ladies came out to win. Good lineup.

[joelster]

Some big guy named Phil showed up too, all 270lbs of him. He is cool as hell too, ran into him at the restaurant accross the street and shot the shit with him for 20 minutes.

I second that. Impressive contest. The women bodybuilders hit that stage in excellent condition with great size and symmetry.

[joelster]

Thanks for making it a sticky Sioux! I guess you can un-sticky it now, lol.
