HDP Model of the Month (September)-Heather Armbrust

As promised, I'm getting back on track with the HDPhysiques blog, and what better way to get back on track than with an HDP favorite and a major threat heading into the 2009 Ms. Olympia competition: Heather Armbrust, this month's Model of the Month!

Heather is one of the top bodybuilders in the world right now, placing in the top five at the Arnold and Olympia. In her first pro show, the Sacramento Pro, she won the heavyweight and the overall title, instantly making her a face to be reckoned with in women's bodybuilding. Right now, she's preparing to compete in the Ms. Olympia and hoping to be in the best shape of her entire career and quite possibly be the one to dethrone Iris Kyle and become the next Ms. Olympia champion.

For more on Heather, click here to check out her website, and click on the links below to visit her three HDP model pages. Quad fans, Heather alone should be a reason to join HDPhysiques. Take it from me, her leg clips are out-of-this-world!

FitGems Q and A Live Chat TOMORROW NIGHT!

I gotta be honest with ya, this just might be my most insane idea yet.

Tomorrow night (August 26th) at 7PM Eastern/6PM Central, I'll be on the site live to take questions from those who are interested. Each month (hopefully), there will be a different theme relating to the industry. The theme this month is knowing the man behind the (FitGems) Nation. How and why I created FitGems, how I got employed by HDPhysiques, how I got involved in the sport in the first place, and why I love it so much, my thoughts on the past, present, and future of this sport and its competitors, ya know...things of that nature.

The chat is set to last at least one hour (time permitting).

http://www.fitgemsnation.net/page/q-and-a-chat

If there's something you want to ask me and you WON'T be able to make the chat, just email me at admin@fitgemsnation.net, and I'll do my best to answer the question during the chat. Finally, you will get to know what I'm all about and why I love this sport. Fans, competitors, whoever, everyone is invited tomorrow to this major event!

An apology to everyone

Hello everyone.

I'm writing to all of you because I want to apologize for the lack of updates that have been going on through this blog as of late. I'm not settling in on my new job with a new computer, so to say things have been kinda hectic in my life would be an understatement. Thankfully, things are getting to a stable state so I can blog better here.

Expect some updates over the next couple of days, including the link to our Twitter page!

Again I apologize for the lack of content over the last few weeks. I'll do my best to make it up to all of you.

New Model-Nicole Pearson

Just added today, HDPhysiques welcomes NPC Figure competitor Nicole Pearson!




Nicole Pearson fell in love with weight training when she was 16 years old. She was at that time a committed dancer and motocross racer. She wanted to improve her upper body strength in order to compete better in her motocross races. Nicole already had a great lower body from her years committed to dancing. Instead of partying with her friends, Nicole chose to go to the gym and workout late into the night. She happened to be at the right place at the right time, ten o'clock on a Saturday night, were she spent the majority of her nights and free time, a bodybuilder approached her and questioned her physique and competitive past. Nicole was clueless and intrigued to the competition aspect of fitness, but knew it was something she needed to dive into. He showed her different lifts and diet suggestions, and even took her to her first bodybuilding show to watch how the girls pose. Nicole was driven and destined for success and within six short months Nicole stepped on stage for the first time winning her figure class in the Iowa State Bodybuilding, Figure, and Fitness show. She loved the adrenaline rush of competing, similar to the one she would get from racing motocross. Being on stage and in the spotlight is no stranger for Nicole, as she was used to that due to her highly competitive dance background. It's easy to see why Nicole fell in love with the competitive figure world, and she was craving more. A few weeks after her first show she competed in the Natural Grand Prix in Rockford, IL where she placed third. The Illinois State Bodybuilding, Figure, and Fitness show followed, where she took home a second place in her class. A couple of Nicole's idols are Alicia Marie and Jennifer Nicole Lee; she looks up to them and hopes to one day follow in their footsteps and be the best she can be by earning her pro card as a figure competitor, while pursuing any and all opportunities in fitness modeling and being a positive role model as she continues her path to success.
