Lisa Bailey's World Preparation, Nov 10

Standing at 5'4", Lisa currently weighs 74kg and is aiming to be around 68kg on contest day.  Lisa is comfortable in her skin and loves her size ‘ I like physique because to me its what bodybuilding's all about - putting on muscle'. 

The ultimate look Lisa's aiming for is that of legendary bodybuilder Juliette Bergman. ‘Juliette had great shape, hardness, good muscle fullness and was always feminine'. She said.

     

In the past year Lisa's been working hard on improving general thickness to her physique and conditioning in her legs with the aim of coming in harder for the NABBA Worlds comp.

Beginning her contest prep means doing cardio. Lisa already does 2 spin classes a week but she'll be adding 45min cardio every morning.  Her diet won't change too much.  ‘I'm still having 6-7 decent sized meals and still having carbs at dinner time' she said.  But has cut out treats like wine and ice cream. 

Lisa, with the help of her partner (Dave Smith's) trained eye and experience, aims to be ready for the Worlds at 10 weeks out from contest.  "At that point we'll start to refine her diet" Dave said.

"I'm really enjoying competing with NABBA/WFF and having the support of Graeme Lancefield has been so fantastic as he is there for the athlete.  My plans are to continue to compete with NABBA/WFF with the goal to win at some point the Worlds/Universe but enjoying competing and traveling while I'm doing it." Lisa said of her bodybuilding future. 

Before the Worlds, Lisa will be competing at the NABBA/WFF Christchurch Grand Prix in April 2011. We look forward to seeing the results of her hard work then!
