HARDBODY Fit Female News & Events

I caught up with a few of the figure pros tonight as they made their way through check-in. Catherine Andersen is ready to go but it seems her google maps isn’t working the best. Her hotel is located by the airport, which is a 30-40 minute drive. Huong Arcinas is in great shape and appears to have done her homework this time. She tells me she is weighing 94lbs (that’s at 4′10″). Heather Mae French’s plane was delayed and she was frantically on her way to the hotel when I met up with her. IFBB Fitness Pro Shannon Dey made an appearance at the check-in and will be guest posing in a couple weeks at the NPC JR USAs. Carla Salotti, IFBB Pro Bodybuilder, tells me she was in a car accident and her mother has been ill so she has been out of the gym a few weeks. She looked great and has her sights set on the Tampa Pro Show. Jenn Gates had just finished up a photo shoot with JM Manion when I saw her and she said it was fun and went well. She is at the show working the 8-ball Nutrition booth. She looked like she was ready to compete but laughed when I told her that. Heather Green wrapped up a shoot yesterday with JM Manion and is anxiously awaiting her after contest meal which I’m told may involve pizza. Allison Jones-Williams was her usual sparky self when I saw her earlier in the day and I witnessed her being wrong for what may be the first time. Yes, tis I who runs this site. Kim Oddo was looking jacked! Dude has been hitting the weights since I saw him in Nationals and looks a couple weeks out from a show.

Earlier today, I caught up with Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman for FLEXonline.com – check out a few photos on their blog. That’s it for today – prejuding starts at 9am EST and my guess is the pros will go on around 10am. Check back for more updates here and on FLEXonline.com throughout the weekend.
