johanna_2“Growing up on a dairy farm helped out with a good base for bodybuilding which caught my eye when I was 10 years old. I had seen a profile on a male bodybuilder on TV- the first time I saw anyone that big – I was in awe. From there on, in the back of my mind, I always wanted something like that for myself.  I started training on and off until 1993 when I decided to get serious and give bodybuilding try.

Yaxeni Oriquen-Phoenix Pro Winner Gallery

I was born in 1966 in the town of Cabinas, found in the state of Zulia; which is one of the 23 states in Venezuela. I am the youngest of 9 children (4 brothers and 4 sisters).

I began my career in theater and modeling at an early age. I studied theater at Tecnico Medio en Artes Escenicas in Venezuela. Later in 1989, I began dedicating myself to the sport of bodybuilding.

In 1990 my only son Luis Alcala was born; he is currently 20 years old. In 2000 I married my husband Tomas Garcia and we currently reside happily in Miami Florida.

In 1993 I earned my pro-card in Puerto Rico after winning the overall Iberoamerican Championship ­ which governs athletes from all of Central and South America. I still represent Venezuela, my homeland, during my professional bodybuilding competitions.

Most of my time is spent in the gym training and preparing for contests with my husband. I also work as a personal trainer and prepare other athletes for figure and bodybuilding competitions. I consider myself a very spiritual person. I listen to the Word of God, and have put Him first as I follow Him throughout my life’s journey.

I am a very disciplined person, and dedicate myself wholly to my sport as well as my personal life. I enjoy having friends, but I choose carefully with whom I spend my time. I typically go out with friends once weekly to eat out at the wonderful restaurants of Miami.

I enjoy travelling and spending time with my husband- who is my best friend. I conduct myself as a professional bodybuilder; I do not participate in muscle worship sessions.

Sarah Dunlap IFBB Pro Biography

sarah2

Sarah Dunlap, IFBB Bodybuilding Pro, is only 29-years-old but has been competing since she was a teenager. She took some time off after having a bad experience trying fitness, but she is back and has been on the rise, she has taken some time off since her 2007 Olympia appearance, but we all can’t wait to see her back on stage! Below is an entry Sarah wrote that will give you insight in her strength and tenacity off the stage:

“I have been living in Chicago now for almost 3 years now. I LOVE this city. As many of you know, I moved out here after my big TA-DA! performance winning everything that I could put my name on. I will tell you though, I was immediately humbled when I moved here with nothing more than $500 and a suitcase in the middle of winter…I had never been on a bus or a train in my life, and here I am, in the middle of the city, one very good friend and nothing else. I had no job, no place to live, and hardly any money. Within three days, I found a place to live. My survival instincts took over and soon enough I was working three jobs and doing all right. I have been through just about anything and everything you could imagine in the year and a half that I have been here… I am now, as you know making a comeback into bodybuilding. I always dreamed of changing the face of bodybuilding and bringing back the more feminine side of muscle to the stage. This is what I am doing. I will be presenting even more muscle than before, with maturity that will blow your minds.”

Cindy Philips IFBB Pro

Cindy Philips, 24-years-old, is currently the youngest women’s IFBB Pro bodybuilder. There is limited information, especially recent about this Canadian bodybuilder, but I did find this from one of her recent blogs:

“I have been training more. Feeling better…. And i am not ruling out a possible competition in 2010. Maybe not, but there is a part of me that has left so many things unsaid, untold, and unsure i can MOVE on beyond it yet. I am back and fourth, with so many things, for so many reasons i cant even begin to explain. If there is one thing you have gotten from my blog, it is my indecisiveness and my honesty. So, again there is it :)”

Heather Armbrust Biography & Arnold Update

Heather Armbrust is one of the top IFBB Pro Bodybuilders in the game today. She is known best for her amazing legs. On her personal blog on January 15th she officially announced that she would not be competing at the Ms. International saying:

“I am so sorry about this but no I will not be competing in the Ms. I. It took a lot of very difficult thought and added stress but I came to a conclusion to do what is best for me and my family. I put in for my invite in Oct. with every intention of kicking butt and very excited. Dec. came with too many road blocks. Timing was off for me. I had ignored some injuries that were not going to cooperate. I have been fighting the tendinitis in my right arm which is worse than ever lately. I even took several days off due to a hand injury that happened after Christmas. I am very proactive about working on these things but I guess I did not have enough time in between shows to get it handled. My injuries are a work in progress. lol I also want to give some more attention to my family and Dylan. And the gym. Things happen and I’m done beating myself up about it. I want to thank everyone who is supportive of my decision… it means more than you could know! In the mean time. I am going to pursue some alternative things. We are taking Salsa and I want to work on my Spanish. There is never enough time in the day for me but all will work out in the end. Thank you… H”
