About Tracy

Here’s how I got started. I joined an “all female” gym in 1985 to get into better shape. Like many women, I was “bottom heavy” and wanted to balance out my shape. I was amazed how quickly my body responded to weight training. I loved it. At first, my parents weren’t thrilled. They didn’t think that bodybuilding was what a young lady should be doing. But now they’re very proud of my achievements.

I got serious the next year and joined Gold’s gym. I was living in Alberta, Canada at the time and Mr. Canada trained me for my first bodybuilding show. I won and went on to represent Team Canada at the 1987 IFBB Hawaii International Invitational contest. Now 20 years later I am on Team USA competing at the 2007 IFBB World Bodybuilding Championships in Spain!

Now, let me tell you what has worked for me in finally attaining my IFBB pro card by following my strategies. I start my contest prep if I can, one year in advance. Yes, that does sound like a long lead time, but it really isn’t. I allow myself nine months to gain size and three months of pre-contest dieting – those months go fast and it is always better to be prepared.
