Contestants will be asked to walk in a bikini and high heels across the stage. It is important to mention that two-piece swimsuits are required. Thongs or G-Strings are not acceptable.

Meet IFBB Bikini Pro Brooke Mora


This weekend Brooke Mora will make her IFBB Pro debut. She earned pro status at this year’s NPC USA and is wasting not time jumping into the big leagues. Brooke is considered by many, myself included, to be a top contender at this weekend’s IFBB Tournament of Champions. Despite being carb depleted, she joined us in our Hardbody Hot Seat and shared a bit more about herself.


Name: Brooke Mora

Currently Reside in: Los Angeles, CA

Born Raised in: Sylmar, CA

Occupation: Director DVD/Blu-Ray Production

How did you get into directing DVD/Blu-Ray Production? I was just given the opportunity through a friend that was looking for someone to help his department. I went in not knowing a thing and 10 years later… came out a wizz-kid! lol (kinda)

July 2nd your birthday? Yes

One day away from a REALLY COOL birthday – mine’s the 3rd. We should celebrate next year!!!

Did you play any sports in high school?
Varsity Softball and Cheerleading. Yes, cheerleading is a SPORT! haha!

Are you you a girly-girl or tomboy?
Honestly, I’m the perfect mix of both. I love to throw on a sexy dress, heels and get all dolled up for a fun night out, but I can just as easily throw a mean spiral in a friendly game of two-hand touch. Well maybe not so friendly… I am very competitive!!!

How did you get started with competing in bikini? Well, I’ve always been active and athletic. I have done 3 triathlons and have always been comfortable in the gym, but it wasn’t until my friend Beatrice Andrade (fellow NPC Bikini competitor) suggested I really train hardcore for a competition. I owe it all to her. Being new to the world of competition I just thought you had to be really “buff”.  But Bee informed me that there was a new division called Bikini.  Being that I love a challenge, very competitive and love the stage, I said “OMG, I’m in.”  Bee got me in touch with her trainer IFBB Bikini PRO Michele D’Angona and I signed up with her on the spot. The rest is history!!!

What’s your favorite part of a triathlon? Well, biking was my favorite because it was my easiest with these thunder thighs.

What’s your favorite part about competing?
My favorite part about competing is being on that stage, feeling confident knowing that all of your training and dedication has paid off! It has truly changed my life!

What’s the biggest misconception you hear from people when you tell them you’re a bikini pro? They usually say but you’re not that buff… lol! Then I have to go into this long explanation. lol!!

You recently shot with Muscle & Fitness – how did that go? Yes, I shot for the Muscle & Fitness HOTBOD spread set to come out in the December 2010. issue  The M&F team was a complete pleasure to work with.  It was so relaxing and comfortable. I felt I could really let myself shine for the camera. Photographer John Russo was amazing. Leith O’Leary and Chris Hobrecker of Muscle & Fitness were so accommodating, the absolute best!!  Keep your eyes open for my issue on stands in DECEMBER!!!

How was it different from other shoots you’ve done? Well, I would have to say that everyone was so professional and organized.  They knew exactly what they wanted and gave me great direction. I wasn’t waiting around for hours. It was awesome!!

Did you do anything different for your pro debut then other shows? Being that is it a couple days until my pro debut I think you’ll see that I’m a bit leaner in my lower body come Saturday. I’ve also played around with different poses, so my stage presence will definitely be a bit more playful! ;)

Will you be downing champagne if you qualify for the Olympia? Ooooohhh ya, you better believe it! But only one night of celebrating is allowed because Olympia is only 2 weeks away! Watch your camera it might get wet from all the champagne being sprayed.

Where can people find more information on you? follow me on Twitter.com/brookemora or on Facebook.com/brookemora.

Thanks Brooke and Best Wishes in your debut.
