You look great Rea, congratulations.

galaxy · Sep 9, 2004

Should your abs be detailed in that pose? Probably just the lighting? Maybe a little water, who knows. Also, lose the belly button ring. Not a personal fan of em. BTW you look amazing. I cant even imagine the dedication and hard work you put into this sport. Awesome job!

Rea

Try lifting heavier weights with basic exercises. It looks like you do too much cable, isolation stuff. You need more muscle to get more shape. These girls are really big these days. ONe more thing. Did Trish train you? DId the judges say anything about the way you are standing? It looks uncomfortable with the legs locked out that way, almost hyper extended. Try bending the knees slightly, it might bring out your seperation a bit more. Yes, lose a little water.

Haha even though phil needs no agreement with the critiques he gives, i was thinkin along the same lines. Looks like you had ur legs hyperextended, definatly brings out more seperation with knees slightly bent. Plenty of time to improve and add a little muscle. You guys gotta also realize, as good as she is with figure, shes also a fitness competitor, they just didnt have it, and im sure she shines in that area just as well. Keep it goin girl, were all proud of u, and u know ur future is very bright as long as u stay the path. Enjoy the entire ride, every minute of it, as i hear.. time goes by fast.

Excellent job!

I agree with the leg comment as well. You'll bring out deeper cuts in your quads with a slight bend. Slight bend, that is. You'll just look like a clown if you bend too far like many people I've seen.

you kinda have this lindsay lohan-ish thing goin on in that pic

REA · Sep 9, 2004

hey

thanks for the comments... needed to hear some stuff... feel free to add more suggestions. As to the next show I have no clue because as of now i can only do 2 pro qualifying events to turn pro... the north americans next year (but im not really a figure competitor) or do fitness at the canadian nationals in july.. so I got quite some time to make every change and improve as much as possible based on the feedback I get from everyone all the way up until I start dieting again...

galaxy- the photoguy must have took this just as i was taking a deep breath in just before i actually tightend my abs.. but they still had a little water due to the way my dietician had me carb up (few things I carbed up on were some things I havent eaten in months like yams etc.) but major thanks to wyldeone who fixed the majority of this little "day before" water dilema!!!!

phil- my trainer had me do iso/cable shit to "cut" up lol I actually hate doing it because I know I loose size from it... im gonna put back on the shoulders I used to have (I really liked the way they looked back at the arnold ) and now I get to play with some heavy weight again finnally! hahah

ehehe ya i DO need to bend my knees a little, I have the luxury (not!) of having hyper extended knees from training in gymnastics for 11 years and training in cirque du soleil.. so therefore i am predisposed to have shitty knees and im praying they wont break down on me by the time im 21. lol

suggestions to build my delts like a dam pumpkin?? fire away!!!... i always have trouble bringing out the sides too.

JETHRO TULL · Sep 9, 2004

I just went and looked through a pile of my muscle magazines...

....I think you compare quite well with other fitness girls....even on the pro level. I just hope you don't get bad advice, get on a bunch of drugs, and mess up your look. I remember quite clearly one fitness girl who was advised to take insulin, gh, and a bunch of other crap. I think that's bad advice. So many girls end up with faces that are unattractive. I think you are doing very well. As far as some of the other comments go....like the one about her stomach...she's not bodybuilding.. attempting to display abs. She is standing tall, stomach in <not crunched down> attempting to display a trim, tight midsection. That's what I think, anyway.

galaxy · Sep 9, 2004

Shes not trying to display them in this photo either, but you can see the detail. Thats all Im talking about.

galaxy · Sep 9, 2004

Granted Im only comparing her to the best.LOL

TooPowerful4u · Sep 9, 2004

Shes young so the muscle maturity isnt in full effect although she has muscle maturity beyond her years. You can clearly see in the pix her abs are a little tinier, theyl grow in size as the years go on. She admitted she had a thin film of water, another reason u wouldnt see them unflexed, especialy if shes breathing in.

Vander_V · Sep 9, 2004

REA you look great , imagine the next show your gonna do its just a matter of time for ya, great job REA.

Yo Galaxy do you know anything about contest prep??? do you know why REAs abs arent as visible as Monicas in that pic??? I sure do but it seems like you havent a clue, REA also added she was holding some water I think that just might have a little to do with it LOL.

By you saying this your saying hey REA your holding to much water ,,, you do understand thats what your saying , SHE knows she was holding water and admits it so was Chris Cook at the USAs , diesnt meen they dont have visible abs cause ive seen REA at age 18 and holyshit did she have abs even when breathing out.

TooPowerful4u · Sep 9, 2004

whoah down killer lol

well Galaxy dude is fucking posting pics of Monica Brant up on her thread , shit thats like posting a picture of Dexter Jackson and posting next to your pictures TP4U, just makes about zero sense . The girls 19 shes still learning dont ask her why she didnt do this or that shes gonna learn more each yr and by the way i saw the sheet with all the female competitors and there ages well guess what outta 60 girls REA was the youngest by far and the average age was at least 28 so that saying alot for 19 yr old REA.
