I can't find a competitor list yet, but I will. 

I know my girl Claire is competing as a LW or MW and should win her class, if not the whole damn show.   

And Lisa Bouchard is going to be tough to beat in the LHW class if she comes in looking like she did at the Jr USAs. 

[az]

Sylvia Cohen is competing not sure of the wt class though, either hvy or lt hvy.

This is going to be a great show!  Scott's got his pic preview up on his site (Thanks Scott! ), and it looks like it's going to be an awesome lineup.  I have seen a couple of pics of Claire 2 weeks out, and let me just say that I was completely BLOWN AWAY.  She looks insane.

I like to see who wins this show for the guys cause it is my age group    And a guy who occassionaly posts on getbig Vinny G won the mens overall as a Lt Hvy, congrats to him.

But here is the newest WBB pro from the Hvy Weight class, Gale Frankie.  As you can see this women is not afraid of the squat rack!  Big hanging hams to boot.

[Luv2Hurt]

Rip this must be your friend Claire I guess?  She really looks good, she was a middle weight, looks like she placed 7th.  Nice package.

Luv, thanks for posting her pics as well as Gayle's, and congrats to Gayle!  That is Claire...I am still surprised by her placing, but I've been so busy this weekend that these are the only pics I have seen.  Must have been one helluva show!!

im not suprised with claires placing. The judges have become accustomed to her coming in at a certain condition, and she just wasnt as shredded as she usually is. Therefore the lower placing !

[ripitupbaby]

Just to clarify, Claire did place third in the MWs at Master's Nationals.  What a tough class that was!
She was 7th last year in the LWs at Nats.  She'll be competing as a MW again this weekend at the USAs. 

[Noel Fuller]

she.s more shredded than first or second place and she isnt missing bodyparts like they were

my bad for saying she was 7th, on the MD site they had in the 7th slot on the list, my mistake those must not have been the placings as I thought they were.  I think she looked good from the pics they had up, but the ab/thigh shot did not help her.

Noel what do you think cause she seemed pretty grainy, but still some water under the skin, one more day to dry out all the way?

Here it is she is a pretty girl with a great physiqe.  Noel i like how you had her holding more muscle also.

Rip where did you see the placings?

[flexingtonsteele]

she looks like shes trying to come in 100% at the usa's this weekend, but i bet she thought she would give the masters nationals a try because it would be a good shot to get a pro card there because the competition there isnt as stiff as it is at the nationals or usa's.

Thanks for the results SC 

[Noel Fuller]

She gets marked down for being too ripped. She had that class, I dont know what to say

[Claire]

I addressed you over at MD flexingtonsteele,   the reason i did the masters was to get back on stage and place in the top five which i did.   don't act like you know anything about my reasoning behind doing a show, you dont know me.   I was told by five judges including the head judge at nats last year that i was way too lean, way too hard,  so yeah i brought it a little diff.   they obviously like it a bit better they called me out in first round.


thanks Rip, luv2hurt and Noel for your support
