When is your video coming out RIP?
LOL, when I have a "career" in BB like Vicki, then I'll put out a video. I actually did a training video last year in Chicago with Blockhead at his gym, but I don't even know where the raw footage is...I think that Special Ed has it.
The footage Im sure had to be hidden out of fear there would be both building dept and public health, including CDC inspections of the facitity after the video became public.
Her DVD is now available...http://www.vickinixon.com/store.html
Thanks for the info!
L: What is your greatest success?V: Winning the overall at the Team Universe and representing the US in the World Championships in Barcelona, Spain. And of course attaining my Pro status. Outside of the bodybuilding world, I would have to say my greatest success was marrying Brian in 1995 and overcoming my many adversities. The medical issues that I have dealt with besides the Liver Disease are: 2 blown cervical disks, and 2 in my lower back, bone on bone in my knee's and a hole in my right femur from wear and tear...and fibromyalgia & chronic migraines. The list goes on. but I rather say this, no matter what life throws at you. you can still reach for the stars and believe in your DREAMS, because the mind is a powerful tool. There are NO limits as to what you can achieve if you want something bad enough.
