In a post this week titled “A BRIEF HISTORY OF WOMEN’S BODYBUILDING“, the author remninds us of the ground breaking support given by Arnold Schwarzenegger many, many years ago. Arnold wrote:

““Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but in my view, women have the same skeletal muscles as men and should be free to develop them as they wish,” Arnold Schwarzenegger writes in The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding. “We live in a time in which women are becoming involved in all manner of activities and professions that were once denied to them. I am happy to see women overcoming the artificial barriers that have limited them in the past.”

I moved to BC from Ontario in 1997 and started a new career.

I always wanted to be an “exotic dancer” and thought I would give it
a try. Some would think this was a strange profession choice, but I have
always been a little “different:)“

In 1998 I won the Ms Nude BC title I travelled all over Canada as a Feature Exotic Dancer. I absolutely
loved dancing, but at times I would be denied work because I had too much muscle!

I “intimidated” the guys. That was the only downfall of dancing. I had been bodybuilding for 8 years when my dancing career came to an end and my bodybuilding career started.  I received a call from Denise Masino, IFBB Pro and Editor of “Muscle Elegance Magazine*.” She wanted me to shoot for her magazine at a location in the Bahamas! I dieted for the first time ever and Denise was very pleased when I showed up for
the shoot! I was thrilled!!! She was the one who told me that I should compete. I did that two months later and won the overall at my first competition. I then did the BC Provincials and won the overall in that as well!!!

IFBB Fitness Pro Jodi Boam has been a gymnast for half of her life. She placed fifth in her IFBB pro debut and has the potential to be a top contender in every show she enters. She became the youngest IFBB Fitness Pro in Canada at age 23. Jodi was kind enough to share a bit more about herself days out from her first pro show on her homeland of Canada.

Look for her to make some noise this weekend at the Toronto Supershow and don’t be surprised if you see her competing on the Olympia stage this September. She has a fun personality and a killer set of arms. Read about her work out split, cooking dos and don’ts and why she’s a bad driver, even in her own drive way.

Name: Jodi Boam

Born in: Hamilton Ontario Canada

Number of years competing in gymnastics: 11 competitive years!

What level did you make it to? I was a national level gymnast by age 15, and qualified to compete at the World Championships, but unfortunately had to pull out the week of, due to injury!

“I grew up in a tiny village in East Germany. My father was a sports teacher at the local school and I took my first steps on the field. In elementary school I trained under his guidance, and participated successfully in track & field competitions. My exceptionally good genetic potential was obvious, and so since middle school I trained four times a week. I specialized in javelin and discus throw. During my high school time, I played basketball, and so almost every weekend I have been on the road and traveled the whole country either as a player or later as a referee.” MORE

“A friend thinks that super models are skinny and really weak. However, last week, his girlfriend saw a tall and skinny girl working out at the gym and she was doing some pretty heavy weights on the leg press 450lbs doing multiple reps and sets. They got to talking and she said that all the super models you see now a days work out religiously and are insanely strong even though they are stick thin. Seems that they have to be that fit to do all the cat walks in sky scraper heels. Do you think that’s true? Also, it seems girls have much stronger legs than most men too.” MORE

jayfuchs

“Ich bin Schweizerin, 40 jährig und lebe zurzeit in Zürich.

Schon in der Jugendzeit war ich sehr sportbegeistert und begann bereits mit 12 Jahren unter anderem mit Gewichtstraining. Bis zum 18. Lebensjahr galt meine Leidenschaft aber dem Schiesssport. Zu meinen sportlichen Höhepunkten gehörten sicher die Schweizermeistertitel im Armbrust- und Gewehrschiessen.

Immer mehr begeisterte ich mich für den Kampfsport und begann intensiv mit dem Thaiboxen. Ich lernte hart zu schlagen und erkämpfte mir als zierliche, junge Frau viel Respekt. Ab 1996 nahm ich als eine der ersten Thaiboxerinnen der Schweiz an Wettkämpfen teil. Ebenfalls bestritt ich als Amateurboxerin viele Kämpfe und zwang durch meine grosse Schlagkraft etliche Gegnerinnen zur vorzeitigen Aufgabe. Ich erhielt als bissige Kämpferin schon bald den Übernahmen „Pitbull“.”
