This weekend was big for the team as we all went to the Idfa (International Drug Free Athletics) competition at the Jane Mallet auditorium here in Toronto.
Lots of hardware was won again, and I'm very proud of everyone that competed. This show was very well organized and judged with pretty good accuracy and only a few questionable calls but, when your losing to your own teamates it's not really losing... this contest was a excellent stepping stone for all the ladies some trial and error and new systems was implemented (meal plan preparation, training styles) for a few of the ladies with really good success.
This show we had 5 ladies competing for Team Intrafitt:
Sharon Philbrick
Meni Moskowski
Carol Lama
Crystal Kenny (first time competitor)
Vera (my wife)
For each competitor I will give small insight on how the day went so some of you can understand the sport and how the body can visibly change from hour to hour. It's amazing how a few carbs, or fats too little or too much can make or break you... To be honest I don't even know how I developed the eye for it. But, I did... Anyways here's how the day went.
Sharon Philbrick- Sharon looked the best she ever has!! this show was more of a test run for our new food plan and how it will pan out for us on big day OPA Level 2 on November 21. She looked awesome we just need to work on bringing her in a little leaner and fuller keeping her off carbs totally except for contest day. Cutting her water out a little earlier to put her on in the top 3 finalists on november 21.
Carol Lama- Ms. Consistent!! Carol came out for prejuding and looked awesome but, was holding a little water around her waist and her abs were not fully in yet... We needed to decrease her carbs and add a bit more natural sugar to make her look more pumped. But, still looked to place top 3 even not at her best... Which gave a few other competitors hope to win. hahahaha... I don't think so.... Ms. Consistent came back in the evening show and put sad faces on many of the women who thought they had a chance!! She dropped the last bit of water she was holding onto and looked her best to date. Carol placed 2nd in figure open division which was one of the only questionable calls of the night... She also, placed 5th in the fitness model category. This show was also just a test run for her new plan as well OPA level 2 November 21 is the contest we have to win!!
Meni Moskowski- This was Meni's day! She was the dark horse no one seen coming! Meni hasn't competed since June and was taking the time to make improvements to her physique and it all paid off... Meni came in flawless and ripped up the competition!! There was no stopping her. Her posing was beautiful and precise, we never had to make any last minute changes to her diet just stuck to the game plan we set up. And the day went perfect Meni placed 1st in fitness Model and 2nd in figure novice division.
Crystal Kenny-Crystal looked beautiful and muscular! this was Crystals first competition and you could see the nerves were working overtime. At prejudging Crystals muscle looked a bit flat and she looked about 5-7lbs lighter then she really is. Also, her posing needed to be a bit more softer as well. the only change we made during the day was to increase her carbs to fill out her muscle. Since it was her first competition I had no idea how her body was going to respond to dehydration and eating that day. On her downtime she watched ladies bodybuilding I think she found her calling she loved it!!! Now it's back to the drawing board and put on some more muscle. Intrafitt has never had a female bodybuilder so now were looking to dominate in all categories.
Vera Grayer- I gotta pick my words here carefully or else I'll be sleeping outside... Vera did a great job preparing for this show and she did it all by herself! But, like Crystal the nerves got to her and it affected her posing and she made a few mistakes... Otherwise she looked terrific! We could heave added some more carbs and natural sugar to her afternoon meal to make her look a bit more fuller and muscular but since she is so short I have no idea how it would affect her final appearence... For Vera it's back to drawing board and add more size to bring her up the ranks. Look for her to finish in the top 5 at the next show.
