Not to get lost in the shuffle of pro qualifiers this season, I've got to give it up for our Heroes representing Team USA to compete against the best the world has to offer as far as international competition is concerned. Last year's contest was interesting but this year would be more intriguing.
Plus I'm looking forward to seeing who will become the 1st American to win since Colette Nelson has done back in 2004. And the competition would be fierce.
So if anyone else know's who will be competing at this pretigous pro qualifier then feel free to Post Photos or HOLLER because inquiring minds would like to know. And this includes All Americans, Canadians, Europeans, Austrailians, New Zealanders, and other International Women Bodybuilders & Fitness Competitors in general.
Also Beautiful Vascualar Symmetrical Contest Shape Rules and this thread's for you, Peace.
PS: USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA
Who will Would be desirable to learn in the World championship from girls of the USA???
Thanx

Hi Alex! How is Team Russia doing? Who will be competing this year? All the best to you!

Wow! Aleftina has really changed her physique. Very impressive! (I made it on a Russian bodybuilding forum too. Cool!) Where is Ludmila?
Inna has a perfect physique! Are those her most recent pictures? The girls in her height class better just stay home.
Thanks for the links. (zdrassvuitie)

Alex, she is very lean and pretty but if she will compete in US against Adela, Kim and the rest of the pack she will not do very good. Just honest observation.
I saw a Russian girl I think her name is Irina something at Diamond Gym, now she is da bomb. She looks awasome. I think she is also a pro.

I shall not get into dispute. Private opinion: fitness - degrades. Closely look last tournament. A level of a competition - very low. The quantity of tournaments is reduced. How many it is possible to name PRO fitness - "ROLE MODEL"?
KIM???? ???
Beautiful, womanly, sexual women who cannot do acrobatic elements - compete in FIGURE!!! Fitness is not acrobatics! Fitness - not bodybuilging!!

YES, thats her. I saw that picture and I saw her train few days ago. She is even better now. Who is this is girl anyway? You know her?
I am not saying anything bad about Oksana. Her routine is good, but her physique is not up to IFBB standard. There are many girls that look much better in Fitness. I mean physique. She is very attractive woman.

List! Please list IFBB fitness-PRO which have a "standard" constitution? Now the standard - absence of a waist, a short neck and muscular development as at bodybuilging.

You got to be kidding. I guesss you didnt watch any of the Ms.Fitness Olympia or Fitness International contests. If Oksana competes on that level, she will be destroyed. She is good for Russia, but not ready for US. You will see. Routine good but not good enough and physique is not up to Olympia standard. Not even close.
Not hating, just stating the facts. Good potential though.

Alex,
You mean Adela Garcia who is a Ms. Fitness Olympia and moderator on this site and Kim Klein are not role models and Oksana is a role model for Fitness. You come on American based board and while everybody is respectful to your "promotion" of Russian athletes, you are disrespecting great champions.
This is ridiculous. I wish Oksana the best, but I will be really suprised if she would crack top 10 at the Olympia with that physique or routine. She has a long way to go to be compared with either Adela or Kim or actually any of the top girls.
-
I have seen Oksana compete and I hope she does well on the professional circuit. She has a beautiful body and face and has great charisma on stage. Good luck!

Oksana will probably do very well.
Physique wise, great stucture.
Routine wise, I have never seen her routine, but I bet it is *very* high standard. I have competed againest the Europeans, and their routines are beyond top notch, especially the eastern europeans. We are talking of ex-dancers/gymnasts, their style of very different from US, high artistic levels and flexibility. To reach the top in Russia alone, her routine must have been off the hook.

CQ, I'd have to agree. The europeans are crazy good at routine rounds!
As far as physique...I think (and pictures only tell part of a story) that she has a great build for the sport. Good luck to her this year in the US.

Beauty and fashion. Keep in shape.
This is a part of conversation with Oksana Grishina, the fitness manager of the wellness-club “Oasis”, the Absolute Champion of Europe in 2005, Miss Baltiya in 2005, the silver medalist of The World Championship in 2005, the international expert in bodybuilding and fitness.
- Oksana, what are the main reasons for going in for fitness?
- Fitness is our health and good physical shape. If you go in for fitness you become physically and spiritually stronger. And, besides, it helps to get rid of prejudices. Fitness topes up and gives the huge supply of energy. For example, it is enough to spend 20 minutes at an aerobic class and you will forget about daily problems and feel a great deal better.
- What could you recommend those who want to begin training in a fitness club?
- Before the training you should get used to it, I mean you should start training step-by-step while going through athletic acclimatization. You should start with light weights not to be overtired. It is better to do everything with experts (doctors, trainers, instructors of aerobic classes) assistance. And at the same time you should keep to a new diet based on healthy and balanced nutrition. It will help you to achieve desirable results in a short period of time and keep in shape. If you begin now you will be able to produce results by winter and correct your shape in summer.
- How often one should go to a fitness club and what is the approximate time of training?
- The minimum is three times a week; the maximum is five times a week. The time of training is an individual decision. For someone it can be about two hours if he likes mixing with people. But the heave lifting training aimed at building up muscles should last only for thirty or forty minuets. If you want just only to keep in shape the training should last for an hour and a half plus cardio training.
- What would you recommend those who avoid training in a gym?
- Many women say: “A gym is not for us”; mane men say: “Aerobic classes are not for us”. At the end, if you are interested in training in a gym, you, by all means, will be interested in aerobic classes. So the optional decision is to combine a gym with aerobic classes. But if you want to achieve quick results, you should consult with the experts in fitness. Training with an expert is three times better that training without assistance.
- Is it true that “Oasis” is a club of persons holding the same views?
- Absolutely! The chief thing is that all our clients are united by the wiliness and desire to be beautiful and healthy. So our clients, being clients of a small club, are able to hold the same views. Besides, they can undoubtedly feel comfortable in the club not only for the professionals in fitness and nutrition, but for the wide range of facilities and good service which are important for training and mixing with people. That is why you can feel as if being in a new harmonious world of sport and fitness which radically differ from the world you see every day.
P.S. The Championship of Russia in fitness will take place on the forth and fifth of November in Moscow. Oksana is going to participate in it. We wish her to win the best prize.

Baltic Broadway № 4. Holidays full of activity.
Autumn in the fitness style.
It is a kind of tradition to begin a new life full of such expressions as “loosing weight” and “going in for sports” with autumn coming. And the right way of doing it is well known in all the Kaliningrad fitness clubs.
The quick march.
If you are not satisfied with your own body and determined in changing something the worst you can do is to get caught in different diets and physical activity. All the experts in fitness warm against achieving immediate and quick results in fitness if you train without assistance. It is almost similar to committing suicide.
And there is another extreme – to go to fitness clubs only from time to time supposing that some day you will achieve results.
If you are going to loose weight racing with friends or your “fitness colleagues” you should remember that this exciting process could transform you into a gambler. The most important is a healthy life style plus a system of training and your strong desire with availability to change something in your shape.
The orange autumn.
“Orange fitness Babylon”, the fitness club of the premium class, can give you a lot of opportunities to go in for sport with pleasure. You will be satisfied not only with its luxurious accommodation and diversity of programmes for different groups of muscles, swimming pool, spa, sauna, solarium, therapeutic massage, but with personal towels, overalls and free drinking water.
This club is the unique club in Kaliningrad which works according to the “special club system”: if you go to this club you will be able to buy a club card not only for two months but for the whole year. After buying the card you will go to the club without limits and suspend a privilege of revoking the certificate if you have to leave the city.
Elena Klimovich.

Train your muscles (2006). Oksana Grishina:
“Training is a creative search for me”.
She is always ready to win any competitions! Shape thoroughly built, the optional programme perfectly made and astonishing artistry are Oksana’s “trump cards” which constantly help her to win.
Our reference.
Date of birth: March 25, 1978;
Height: 62,20 in;
Weight: 114,64 lbs during competitions, 127,87 lbs during a low season;
Education: high education, Immanuel Kant State University of Russia.
Place of work: personal trainer in the fitness club “Oasis” (Kaliningrad), trainer of aerobic classes, manager of sport organization.
Sport: fitness, rhythmic gymnastics;
Working experience: 3 years in fitness.
First competitions: Russian Competitions in fitness in 2003;
Awards: the Absolute Champion on Russian Competitions in fitness in 2004, the third place winner on the World Championship in 2004, the second place winner on the World Championship in 2005 in the fitness category “up to 64,57 in”, Miss Baltiya in 2004 and in 2005 (the absolute category);
Favourite exercises: training of deltoid muscles;
Favourite food: fried potatoes with an omelet;
Marital status: not married.
- Could you tell me, please, about your first experience in sport? I know that were interested in rhythmic gymnastics for a log time, were not you?
- I went in for sport when I was eight. My first competitions took place in Riga where my father served. It is difficult to say something about achievements but I won third place among girls who were older than me. I suppose it was not bad at all. After moving with parents to Kaliningrad I continued my lessons in the Athletic School for children and at the age of fourteen I managed to do all the necessary qualifying standards for being the Master of Sports.
- Does your experience in rhythmic gymnastic help you in fitness?
- Certainly! Rhythmic gymnastic is beauty of movement and plasticity. It is easy for me to perform splits and “bridges” or to stand on arms. I had not studied how to do it. By the way, being a rhythmic gymnast I had gained a lot of emulative experience. But the main point is I do not need to be explained how to get ready for competitions and work “on the top of strength”.
- When did you have your debut in fitness?
- I made the first attempt in fitness in the spring of 2002. During the Competitions of Kaliningrad region I understood at once that it was after my heart. At that moment I was satisfied with the level of the region and definite expressions “you will obviously win”. But after I understood that must go forward.
- The progress you made in the last two years is astonishing. What is your secret?
- It is a complicated question for me and it is not easy to answer it. Can I answer without using my own words?
- Sure!
- Hard will, responsibility and persistence help me to achieve results.
- Talking about your training, what do you prefer in fitness working in a gym or working on your optional programme?
- It is an interesting question. Both working in a gym and working on my optional programme are a creative search for me. The worst in a life is to a machine. Working on the optional programme is a kind of hobby for me. During all my life I had been making optional programmes for fitness club parties and for the combined fitness team of the region. I helped people to find different images because I hate simple musical performance.
I like working out in a gym, it is not difficult for me. Even when I plan to have a rest in another country I try not to cut off my training. I must admit that I absolutely agree with the following: you must be one hundred percent sure that you aim at working out according to your trainer plan. Because working without assistance does not have sense. You may update you work in case you do not feel comfortable at training or you do not see the progress. But even that can be done only with your trainer assistance.
- Do you have favourite exercises? What kind of working out do you prefer?
- I like to work on my legs, shoulders and back. It is clear that I like to achieve obvious results meaning that I like to feel stronger and see changes in my shape. As for unloved exercises, honestly, I do not have them. Certainly I try to achieve success in the exercises which I usually avoid because simply something I do better and something I do worse. But I ca not say that I do not like working out on something. I just can not!
- What training principle do you prefer: do you prefer training without a certain plan (intuitive training) or training according to a certain timetable (clearly-cut training)?
- You have almost answered this question. I like systematic training which includes updating according to intermediate results. That is what I prefer.
- All the sportsmen in fitness at first gain weight and then loose it. It is not difficult for you, is it?
- I have found out that it is much easier for me to prepare for competitions when everything is clearly cut that to be at a low season. When people say that can not loose weight this means (as a rule) they do not want to. It is a question of discipline and I agree with the following: the person who wants to change something will find the way; the person who does not want will find the reason.
- How long does it take you to get ready for competitions?
- It depends on the starting shape. As a rule it takes four months of being on a diet before competitions but once it took only two months. Of course it does not mean that during all these months I eat only proteins (eggs and fat-free chicken). The diet hardens with approaching the competitions. Generally, I like what everybody likes – something delicious, something sweet.
- Could you tell me about your work?
- I work in the Kaliningrad fitness club “Oasis” as a personal trainer and trainer of aerobic classes. I am fond of my work because every person who come to the club is, at least, interesting. That is why you can enrich your experience and broaden your mind with knowledge and information. Such mixing can transform into friendship. My clients both are interested to see all my performances and support me at competitions. I like social work and to help people to achieve personal goals. But the moment when I realize that they try to take part in the competitions and reach their goals is prior even to mixing with them.
- Is it difficult to find the right method of training different people?
- Certainly. Someone can be criticized; someone should be praised for not hurting his feelings; someone likes to work out with heavy weights. But if for any reason I am not able to train them, I try to teach them beforehand how to work according to the plan and how to use skills and abilities for developing in fitness without assistance.
- Have you ever uncounted people whom you did not like? In case you have what did you do?
- It seems to me that I was lucky not to uncounted such people. Somebody or something protected me from it.
- Do your awards help or impede your work?
- There are swings and roundabouts. On the one hand, it attracts the clients; on the other hand, I have to stint myself in mixing with them.
- It is rather expensive to prepare for the competitions. How do you solve this problem?
- Talking about the last season my friends supported me: one of them helped with the athletic nutrition, another one paid for the suits. And I have always been under the guardianship of Fitness and Bodybuilding Union of Kaliningrad. I have always been supported by the combined fitness and bodybuilding team of the region. My achievements and success should be appraised only as difficult work of many people. Also I should admit that fitness is only a hobby for me and no more, I am not able to make money on it.
- Being almost a professional in fitness what aims do you want to achieve? Do you want to be a professional?
- It is very serious question and again it is hard for me to answer it. What is life of a professional in fitness? Now it is even a mystery for me. Professionals make money on fitness; they are closely associated with contracts and have certain obligations. I have desire, potential and experience in taking part in top- level fitness competitions among amateurs. But no one can tell me how to prepare for the competitions of the professionals. I am very realistic to see that I have not reached a lot. I understand that must work hard for not being “an extra” on professional competitions in case I get professional certificate.
- Do you keep abreast of the situation in professional fitness? Do you have a sportsman to keep up with?
- I can not say that I have sportsmen to keep up with. I just try to know about results of “Arnold Classic”, “Jan Tana” and “Olympia”. That is all. But Susan Kerry can be called my ideal. It seems to me I look like her. Now she competes in different nomination. By the way on Lithuanian competitions I had to compete according the rules of body fitness.
- The next question came into my mind because of your answer. What can you say about body fitness?
- I like competitions in this nomination. It is great to be able to perform acrobatics, muscle stretch and load-bearing elements. But not all the women in fitness have experience in rhythmic gymnastic, gymnastic or acrobatics. Not everyone is able to “twist and jump”. There are many women who can show true beauty and femininity without acrobatics. Many will find their place exactly in body fitness. Look at Monica Brant or Lena Yohanson who competed in classical fitness, but now they represent body fitness. I have told you about Susie Curry.
- Do you think that body fitness will eject classical fitness in a certain period of time?
- I think that fitness and body fitness will eject feminine bodybuilding. They both will exist with movement from one to another. At least it is reality now. Kim Chizhevsky bore children and lost excess weight of body building. Now look at her – she competes in body fitness. She only benefited from it.
- What about your future plans?
- I do not want to predict events in future.
- Have you ever been disappointed in life? Have you ever been depressed? In case you have how did you cope with it?
- I was disappointed both in life and sport. But there is no problem of disappointing for me. I must clear all obstacles. Grit the teeth and go ahead!
