Title: Jan Tana update
Post by: Lift Studios on June 23, 2007, 02:08:21 PM
The prejudging is complete and there is a short break before tonight's finals. The NPC portion flew by and we actually had enough time to eat. I had to grab a slice, New York pizza is the best you'll find. The pro portion could had started at 11, but it was scheduled for 2pm. Tonight will fly by. Props to my man Will for getting the pics up so quickly. We're rockin the coverage again for everyone.

It looks like your top 5 in figure, no particular order will be:
Jane Awad
Amy Fry
Felicia Romero
Kristal Richardson
Jeanette Freed

I'd have Jeanette, Jane and Amy as your top 3 Olympia qualifiers. It's the best Jeanette has looked as a pro and a rookie for that matter. I was off on one prediction and that was cover girl, Jelena Abbou. This was her first pro show and needs to tighten up for her next show. She's beautiful but if she wants to contend in the top ranks will have to tighten up, especially her lower half. She'll be in the 12-14 spot is my guess. Christine Wan and Lianne Seiwald both improved from the Colorado. This was the best I've seen Lianne, her hair, make up, suits, everything was dead on and she'll be in the top 10.

That's it for now kids. More later.

The hotel internet connection sucks the biggest, hairest, SCOOBY ass around. It isn't powerful enough to ftp the pix, but they should be up in an hour when I have a stronger connection near the venue.

I've always been a huge fan of Christine Wan too, she has a dynamite physique... and I think she is often overlooked for some reason.

Adelina... I'm sure you will do okay at your first Figure competition, you have an okay physique too ;D  Just try to bring up those shoulders some ;)

Felicia looked awesome...I have to admit that when the recent FLEX swimsuit issue came out I thought that even though she was the most beautiful, she was out of place with the rest of the women because she was softer, but man oh man. She looked amazing in the show

Thanks Isaac! I agree- she looked very on-point! Wish I could have seen her in person, so thanks for the pic!

And, yes Christine looked fab as well!

Thanks, everybody, for all the kind words! Judging figure can be quite confusing, huh? The combination of shape, structure, and height, differ from individual to individual, so what works for one person might not work for another...like comparing apples to oranges.

Me, personally, I was told that my shoulders were too big, thus throwing off the flow of my physique. I possessed one of the biggest and widest delts on stage, while at five-foot-one-and-a-half, I was probably the shortest person in the line-up. My physique was off balance. Can it be fixed? Sure. Do I want to? Probably not. So am I okay with the critique? Yes, I am.

Unlike bodybuilding, the entire package, from head to toe, is judged all at once. There are no comparison poses to see who has the best biceps, delts, legs, back, etc....It's the overall shape that is being looked at, conditioning is secondary. For some, it might take a high level of conditioning to achieve the lines and v-taper that the judges want to see. For others, a high level of conditioning might cause them to lose their shape, and end up looking too "straight-up-and-down" or stringy. Genetics. Then add stage presence, posing, presentation, hair, make-up, and suits to the mix...everything's got to flow together.

Anyhow, congratulations to EVERYONE on that NY stage and thanks to Jan Tana and King for having us.

Adela, if I don't talk to you before Houston - GOOD LUCK, CHICA! You're going to rock!

Cindy, I talk to you nearly every day, so I'll keep it short and just say good luck in NY...lol ..

Christine
You looked great!  And I loved the post. You rock because of your physique and beauty but the main reason is you can do it all while being a MOM!

Hope your little one is doing great.

And how are your little ones, Shannon? I can't believe mine will be starting kindergarten in August....it's going by so fast...too fast.

Just celebrated Braylee's 6th bday last Friday and Chesney's 1st Bday on Saturday.  Busy weekend!  I'll be back on stage soon.  It's tough but it keeps me in shape.

How bout you Dina?

I am impressed by anyone that gets their physique into pro level shape, but to do it when you're a mom makes it even more impressive.

Mmmm.....bon bons.... I've got leftover Cheesecake Factory Choocolate Godiva cheesecake here! I'm going through a serious post-contest binge. :o

Dina, I just realized, prior to last weekend, YOU were the defending JanTana figure champion, right? That 2003 show was my first pro show. Jeez, that seemed so long ago!

Shannon, do you find it tough to diet, with all of Braylee's snacks around the house? I have a really tough time of it with Jade's food...the Goldfish, the Cheetos, cutting the crusts off sandwiches, McDonald's Happy Meals,....etc...BTW, happy birthday to both your girls.

Oh Absolutely-especially when you are handed a half eaten perfectly good cookie.  I just pass it off to the baby and she slobbers all over it and feeds it to the dogs-so then it doesn't look so good.  So see there Christine-your answer is to just have another baby so that she/he can help you out!

Enjoy your binge.
