Anita Ramsey’s Muscle Update

It has been braught to my atention about the so-called new rules for NPC Women’s Figure. Ha ha ha! They are getting slapped liek the female bodybuilders did with that bull 20% rule, that worked well -not! So the NPC is ging to screw the female figure for a few years now. Idiots. So here is what the new rule say’s…"new judging criteria we at the NPC are judging. For the past year you have been hearing rumors that judging will move toward a softer athletic look in figure instead of the muscular, lean look. Well, we kicked off the national competition year with the Jr. USA in Charleston and true to our word we set the stage for local and national level judging. The look is soft and athletic…" I was wondering when I was attending in the audiance at teh 2008 Northern Colorado the overall Figure that EVERYONE in the 1,000 plus audiance thought she should have won was not awarded the overall. She was PRO caliber in many eyes and she got screwd. Nice job on the part of the NPC - again.

Summer is here, finally! The sun is out longer, thank God, and it is getting warmer (sometimes).  It snowed this past week, June 5th go figure. Damn need some warmer weather. I have a lot to tell you about. First off I would like to thank ALR Industries for adding me on as a contributor to their industry magazine. I am hoping to spread the word around about training hard and with intensity is the way to go. I will be writing an article each issue. Cutis (my husband) and I are also excited about the opening of our NEW “High Altitude” Sports Training and Private Training Facility.  Plans are in the works now and hope t be completed by Fall 2008.  The name will stay the same “High Peaks Barbell Club” and our current place will mark our 1st anniversary in business. We are just finalizing our location for our “new” place and again hope to be up and running by late fall. Our web site is up and running thanks to www.fitnessmedias.com. www.highpeaksbarbellclub.com That is all for now.

It is now June 2008, I plan on this year being a complete New Start, my first show after a 10-year retirement will the Masters Nationals July 18-19. Been training hard. The next four weeks is about training hard and sticking tight to my diet. I am doing the Masters Nationals and the Nationals but lets hope I don’t have to do the Nationals. Both are in July.  I am working with a coach for the first time in my career, Dave Palumbo, He is an old friend and I trust him hole heartedly.
