NPC Nationals Female Bodybuilder Jodie Bruce Interview

Jodie Bruce is ready for Atlanta!

Two days out from the NPC Nationals, female bodybuilder Jodie Bruce shares a bit about her prep and goals for this show.

Currently Reside in:
Oklahoma City, Ok

Number of NPC shows competed in:
I think around 12 or so. I started back in 2001 in figure, then crossed over to bodybuilding in the NPC in 2005 at the Sherman Classic in Houston where I took 1st place in as a Novice light weight.

What are your goals for this show?
To come in looking my best to date, which I think Darrell has me dialed in to do just that. I would be happy with a Top 10 placing being that this is my first National level show and there are so many awesome women in the middleweights.

How do you feel you look compared to your last competition?
I feel I look 100% better. This year Darrell has brought me in my best, brought out my legs more than they have ever been which has been a tough thing for me to get lean enough. I’m coming a tad bigger and definitely leaner than at the Texas State last year.

What might we find you carbing up on backstage?
Rice cakes and No Salt PB

What will be the first thing you eat when the show is over?
Now that will depend on where we will be going! I know when we return home its all on for a BIG pot of Homemade Chili.

Has being around Darrell helped you stay focused for this show?
Yes totally, since he has been prepping for Nationals as well, it made it easier to get all my cardio in, to be sure I stuck to my diet and training as well. Anyone looking for a good top notch trainer to kick their butt in shape should really consider him.

Any advice for those thinking about doing female bodybuilding but afraid to do so?
What’s to be afraid of? Sometimes you just gotta do it! I love the sport.

Thanks Jodie! We’ll see you in Atlanta.
