Heather Policky makes the front cover image for our upcoming publication. We'll be posting more about the book but Heather is shown here with a pre-publication proof copy of the book, which we'll also have on hand at the Arnold Classic this coming weekend.
Congratulations to Heather for that and making her pro debut and pro win!
Look out for 23 year-old national-level female bodybuilder Amy Schmid in the May 2007 issue of Jane magazine. The magazine, which is aimed at twentysomething women, will feature Amy in a full-page portrait along with an article as part of its annual "30 Under 30" photo portfolio of "inspiring, relevant, thought-provoking young women". Last year's feature featured everyone from a librarian to a cowgirl, activists to famous actresses. Kudos to the magazine for including a female bodybuilder this year too!
Amy is competing at the first ever amateur show at the Arnold Classic in her hometown - Columbus, Ohio - next weekend.
We heard from Shannon Rabon recently who's been busy with her daughter and whom we last saw at the 2006 NPC Jr USAs when she was still pregnant. She's told us she's back in the gym and getting back on track. Rabon was always one of the top National level lightweights and a great bodybuilder so we're excited to hear that she's coming back to the competitive stage!
If you are interested in seeing buff gymnasts then go check out Stick It, it's a film that's not the greatest cinematic accomplishment but has some nice scenes with buff girls training, and competing. If you get the DVD, there's some cool extras with flex offs of the actual gymnasts in the movie and their counterparts on screen.
Happy Holidays everyone from the FTV/genex magazine staff. Hope you are staying warm and dry!
National-level heavyweight bodybuilder Candy Canary sent us some pics from her recent missionary trip to China and Thailand, where she helped distribute bibles (which they had to smuggle into China) and visited churches, children’s homes and AIDS hospitals. She had been to Thailand before, but this was her first time in China. “I really stick out!” she says.
Jo Stewart has taken the New Zezland National bodybuilding title for the fifth time and just got 3rd place at the World Masters Champs in Sicily! Jo has posted a lot of info on her site.
Erinn sent us these two shots of herself as she prepares for the Colorado Open Figure Championships on Nov. 4th. She's been featured here before so we wish her the best! Say hello to Erinn on our message boards too!
Ben Weider awarded the Athlete of the Year award to Betty Pariso for her work in promoting the sport of bodybuilding and fitness, and for her efforts to grow women's bodybuilding. Betty not only competes, but is also a mother, wife and promoter of the Europa Supershow which has grown so much that they have had to move it into Dallas from Arlington, TX.
