I have some unfortunate recent news to report. The Pro Figure competitor who has been authoring the Undercover Pro blog has sustained a season-ending injury - a calf tear.

For those that have been following her blog, the blog was focused on highlighting her prep and progress as she prepared for her IFBB Pro debut. Unfortunately, due to the aforementioned calf tear, that is going to have to be postponed until 2011.

How was the injury sustained? Check out her last entry, Final vs Finale.

Go figure eh?

With only 6 weeks until the planned Pro debut and a recovery timeline of 4-6 weeks, she has decided to withdraw and postpone her debut until next... read more 2 comments

Received a new testimonial recently, this time from Top-10 finisher in the 2010 NPC Junior Nationas, Chaya Boone. You can see Chaya's contest pictures in a recent blog post here. (as well as her 11-week booty transformation, which is pretty darn impressive). You can find those pictures here.

The following falls right in line with what I've been observing more and more in the world of female compettiors. So much feedback has said the same thing - "wow, did you write this about me?" That's a pretty scary thought.

This stuff is the real deal. Do what you can to stay OFF this road. Recognize anything? Anything? Like contest preps getting harder? It requiring more cardio than it used to? Less calories than it used to? Less carbs than it used to? And still, for less results?... read more 6 comments

The following is a new testimonial I just received from LBC client Ebonee Johnson after her 3rd place finish in the 2010 OCB Eastern Seaboard States. This was Ebonee's first Figure show.

Frustrated, confused, overwhelmed and exhausted are the emotions I was experiencing when preparing for my first figure contest. I had been working with a trainer 3 days a week for about 4 months and I was about 2 and half months from the show. My training sessions weren’t the problem. It was the other 4 days a weeks where I found myself confused, not knowing what I should be doing on my own or what to eat. I reached out to a co-worker of... read more 0 comments
