Thanks Susan ...

Erik’s coaching works! I have learned how to eat properly and train
effectively. I have improved physically. I have changed how I view food
and dieting. Physically I am leaner and stronger. I am more confident.
The diet and workout plans Erik provided specifically for me are effective
… and sane! I didn’t starve. I didn’t do needless
hours of cardio! I no longer view carbs as evil. (They actually help me!)
And my physique has changed significantly, more so than with any other
diet I’ve tried.
With Erik as my coach, my eyes were opened to my...

Just got back from a weekend in Cleveland at the North Americans where
Alexandra Johnston competed in both Open Figure E and Masters Figure E. She
ended up placing 6th in open and a controversial 2nd in Masters.Take a look
through the pictures on either Muscular Development, RX Muscle or Flex
Online and you might find yourself scratching your head at these placings
too.
Why is it controversial?
Well, the eventual winner in Masters E ... placed 11th in Open E, somehow,
with the same judging panel, beating FOUR girls that beat her in Open

More congratulations are in order; this time to Canadian Figure competitor
Chantal Milot who nailed a 5th place spot in this past weeksnd's CBBF
National Fitness, Figure, Bikini & Masters Bodybuilding
Championships

so it was super, super close.
As well, it was Chantal's first time doing the CBBF Nationals as well. Not
bad for your first shot. Congratulaions Chantal!
I have yet to find any pictures of this weekend's show but here are some
pictures from Chantal's last show in July, where she's sporting some
serious conditioning ...

Last week I post the pictorial results of an 8-week back and shoulders
specialization that Alex went through. If you missed that post, and the
awesome progress made in that time frame, you can take a look here
.
Today's pictures are shots taken yesterday morning, 6 days out from the
2010 IFBB North Americans. An E Class contender? Regardless, we all feel
this is easily the best Alex has been to date from a 'whole package'
standpoint. Great conditioning, balanced development, etc. Now it's just
time for her to strut her stuff.
I might add that this is with minimal SS cardio ... meaning the most we
did was ONE 30 minute steady state...
