There are many different federations in bodybuilding/figure - some are drug tested, some are not. I would lean towards competing in natural bodybuilding organization eg WNSO, or INBF rather than the NPC- IFBB. There are plenty of trainers in the US that can help prepare you for a...

I prepare girls for figure competitions - from what I've read of STS, a lot of it would be suitable for training for one but this is of course dependent on your experience with strength training etc. I'm currently booked out for 2008 but you can check out my site and blog (check the October...

I have her original book and quite enjoyed it. It has a lot of unusual combinations as it is focused on contest preparation. The protein pancakes are yummy though. Cheers liz N

Check out the Australian Barbell Company - think the web address is www.australianbarbellco.com.au - otherwise you can google it. You can also get plates through Reebok Alliance if you are a member. Cheers liz N

Sue, If whey protein upsets your stomach I would suggest using a rice protein. I don't know which manufacturers make it in the USA but we have a stockist in Australia. Cheers Liz N

Dear Cathe, Hope you had a great celebration dinner. You all look wonderful. I love the photos posted on the DVD discs - your hair and makeup look so natural - you keep outdoing yourselves each release. Be well, Liz N

Hey Mo, Thanks for the compliment! Amanda, I reread your original post and it doesn't really mention recipes as such. Which is why I interpreted it the way I did :) Shelley (Limecat) has a wonderful Cathe Compendium of recipes - clean and not so clean which are worth a look...

I believe Cathe has posted some general guidelines as to what she eats in the past for interest's sake, but I don't really believe it's necessary that she posts about this in fine detail because everyone is different and what works for Cathe may not work for you. I do a lot of Figure Prep...

Heather, What a wonderful post! I was entranced by the whole thing - and it's the nicest long post I've ever read. I hope you copy and paste this and put it in your Ya journal. Big hugs Liz N

Just wanted to add here that I simply have to charge something for shipping given that I pay huge shipping/imports duties to bring the DVDs here. If anyone does want to take advantage of the free shipping offer, please send me an email via my Store Contact and I will put you on the list...

Thanks Diane for the recommendation - it's very nice to see you posting here on the Cathe forum! Yes, I do stock all the Cathe Friedrich DVDs and charge in Aussie dollars and charge a flat shipping rate. To play the DVDs you do need to have a Multi Region DVD player (most Australian DVD...

Please do Alicia, Your initial post inspired me to consider getting it done. Can you tell me the difference between IPL and SIPL? Thanks Liz N

The sizing sounds perfect for me as I'm 5'5 - did you buy small or m/large pants ;) Thanks Liz N

RE: Kevin Trudeau's Actually aspirin is mainly metabolised through the kidneys. However it is true that you can get rebound painkiller type headaches, mainly caused by acetominophen. Liz N

Can someone enlighten me on the difference between IPL and laser removal? I'm the perfect candidate. Dark and hairy, yet fair :) Oh no, maybe that was too much information! Best, Liz N

Best of good wishes to Michelle. Jody I checked out your photos. What a terrific transformation. And Faith n Veggies is just so appropriate. Liz N

Thank you Cathe, Chris and SNM. This is going to be such fun! Cheers Liz N

Dear Mary Beth, It is amazing what the body goes through during pregnancy. After an emergency C Section, it can be completely normal to "look pregnant" post partum due to fluid retention, healing etc. I have had two C-Sections and went on to compete in a couple of Figure Comps, so it's...
