Julie Shipley-Childs: Fitness Veteran

[cray17]

I liked this woman the moment I saw her compete in the Fitness America competitions when they would run on ESPN and ESPN2, and this was nearly a decade ago (man, time flies!). She's one of the main reasons I became a fan of female muscle in the first place. This former pro NFL cheerleader's got the height, muscle size, skills, and power to be a eilte force in the pro fitness division for years to come. And who know? If things go well, she might grace out television screens as an American Gladiator soon! http://www.femininebodybuilding.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself:

It's no secret to those who know me that I really, really want to see Julie as an American Gladiator one day. Don't believe she has what it takes to be one? Allow me to introduce to you all...Exhibit A. ;)
