Kendra's 2007 Contest Prep Thread

**EME** · 04-10-2007, 02:42 AM

Hey Everyone,

This week we have wrapped up Kendra's offseason and are officially kicking off her prep for the 2007 IFBB Pro Fitness season.

We'll be posting picture updates in this thread throughout her prep, and throughout the season.

Here are her "Before" pics taken tonight.

4/09/07 - 18 Weeks Out

We hope you will follow along with her progress as she gets ready to hit to stage this year!

- Michael and Kendra

Hey EME, she looks wonderful. I bet you 99.99% of women wish they looked like that before they started dieting. What show you looking at? Europa?

**EME** · 04-10-2007, 02:58 AM

Hey D,

Sorry we didn't get to meet up at the Arnold this year.
We'll have to make up for it at one of the shows later this year.

Yep, the Europa will be first, then the All Star Pro in Little Rock,
If she qualifies, the Olympia of course, and then the Palm Beach Pro.

Depending on the IFBB schedule we may be looking at the European tour also. Amsterdam had a Pro Fitness show last year, and Hungary usually has a big one.

Thanks!

- Michael

That sounds excellent. I ended up not going to the arnold. I have had a lot of personal/family things I had to take care of. I would love to see a good show this year. WE will keep in touch. Good luck Kendra!

Wow "before" pics. She looks fantastic!!

And Trick D's right...I'd be in the 99.99% of women.

Awesome work Kendra...you never cease to amaze us! :clapping:

You're looking beautiful, Kendra!

I'm sure you'll look extra amazing in 18 weeks! I love the suit!

**DarkFalcon** · 04-10-2007, 04:30 AM

Looking great as always K!

It looks like you added some mass to your delts too this off season. Actually your back looks really solid too, are you up in LBM this year?

**b-boy** · 04-10-2007, 05:14 PM

Hi everyone!!! Thank you so much for all the nice words.

Hi Brad! It was great to see you at the Nationals. I hope we get to see you again soon!!! I'm sure you look great!

I started my new routine this week to get ready for the season.
I also started my choreography for my new Fitness routine. I'm really excited about it!! Not telling what it is though! It's a secret!

Here's my training schedule for this part of my prep. Michael and I are training together every day for this prep since he is getting ready for his show too.

Thanks for following along! Stay tuned for lots more pictures and updates!!!

OXOXOX
Kendra

Lookin great as always.

Do you guys have a stage setup at the house that you use for these pictures?

**EME** · 04-16-2007, 01:50 PM

Thanks,

Yes, we have a training / practice room at our house with small stage where we work with our Bodybuilding, Fitness, and Figure competitors. The stage is particularly useful for the Fitness and Figure competitors so that they can stand and turn in their heels.

That is awesome!

Someday we will have accomplished enough to be able to justify something like that as well (And it'd be easier to explain to the in-laws when they come up instead of the brass pole I always wanted =) ).

LMAO! Almost the same thing.

**EME** · 04-17-2007, 07:29 PM

Here are a few pictures of the Practice / Training room:

We do the posing practices from our clients there and can also get in a workout if were too short on time to get to the gym, or if we are doing early morning cardio / training.

that is a pretty sweet setup you have there Michael

**EME** · 04-18-2007, 03:04 AM

Thanks D!

It gets the job done. The Smith Machine portion of the power rack actually works really well and has helped a lot with my recovery. I never really did a lot of Smith Machine work before tearing my pec, but I have found some really good uses for it.

The nice thing about that rack is that it also has conventional supports for a free weight barbell too, so you can do free weight exercises as well.

It's also nice not having to go to the gym to do morning cardio on the treadmill any more too!
( That will be a much bigger deal in a few months! )
