Loretta Lynn – Figure Girl

Loretta Lynn McGrath was born and raised in the Bay Area of California, in the small town of Santa Rosa, that lies a little over an hour north of the Golden Gate Bridge. She has 2 older brothers and a older sister who all grew up with her. Loretta’s father was in the construction business and instilled the hard work and determination mentality that comes with construction, to all his children. In addition, he also taught them all how to lift properly and pushed them to do their best in any physical challenge.

With Loretta’s 2 older brothers and her older sister as her immediate sibling competition, it even put more pressure on her, to excel to the family environment. From an early age Loretta pushed herself and has seen results, such as an arm wrestling competition in 4th grade in which she beat every girl and boy up to the 6th, which is one of the small things that stood out in her mind that she always had success in.

Rebecca Rush – Figure Girl

Rebecca Rush is a fitness model and figure competitor from Ohio. Although standing at only about 5′2″, Rebecca packs a whole lot of punch. Her exotic looks, shapely arms and defined calves are her trademarks. One of the remarkable things about Rebecca is that she just began serious weight training in 2002. It usually takes much longer to get a body as sleek and defined as hers. She must be a miracle of perfection.

Rhonda Lee QuadBodybuilder Rhonda Quaresma likes working her pecs in the sport, and when she’s posing you’ll see why – it takes a lot of strength and powerful biceps armed chick to hold up those extra-large boobs. So she has a unique and naughty way of relating to the bench press – you may never think of muscle equipment the same way again.

Flavia Crisos – Fitness Girl

crisos_free.jpg

was born in São Paulo on September 6, in 1977. I had a childhood rich in motor experiences where I practiced ballet and other sports for more than ten years.

In 1994 I moved to Florianópolis, an island in the south of Brazil, mainly to run away from the violence and the chaos of São Paulo, but also because I liked to surf. So, the harmony between tanning and tranquility was perfect.

I started weight training ten years ago to gain weight since I was very slim. But with time I got a taste for the running. So, after attending college for Physical Education and acquiring the technical knowledge, my training became more serious and complex. The transition between casual and competitive training was only a consequence of this process.

It was not easy in the beginning since I always prepared myself without help. I have never had a coach and I made a lot of mistakes until finding the proper way. However, the competitive environment, the relationship with other athletes, as well as my personal experiences, facilitated my technical development and gave me a better knowledge of my true potential.

Always use proper form. I know, it seems stupid that I’d have to say that, but I do. I think everyone on the planet is fully aware that proper form is not only important for the purpose of increasing gym and getting the most out of each running, but it’s also obviously important for safety. We all know this, right? However, despite knowing this I still see tons of people in my gym using terrible form for the sole purpose of lifting more weight.
