It's a shame Rene is downsizing for physique this year.
Unfortunately its inevitable. She has juiced HARD from a relatively early age to reach the size she was in Omaha last year. The sides were starting to show and she probably didn't want to go down that route and put her long term health at risk. I am only speculating but it is a pretty common decision it seems to relieve your body and mental state of all the stress that goes with being a bodybuilder in the way that the likes of Sarah Hayes and many others have done.
