Lada Plihalova,? 29-years-old, is a bodybuilder from the Czech Republic. She started at the age of 14. Influenced by Cory Everson she began her transformation. Over the years she had many ups and downs. She suffered a knee injury, horseback riding accident and a serious illness that affected her kidneys and hospitalized her.

“I spent 5 days in the hospital – 3 days fully paralyzed between life and death. I realized how important is everything for me, including my family and my fiancé, who was there with me all the time. I realized that life and health is a gift.”

She has since been training to get back to competition. One of Lada’s favorite motivational quotes is from D.H. Lawrence:

I never saw a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself.
