What is your profession: I am an owner of a gymnastics facility, where I am also an instructor.


Were you involved in sports or fitness prior to bodybuilding and how did you get started with weight training? YES. I was a gymnast. Seeing other female body builders intrigued me, and also my competitive gymnastics career came to an end.


Was it a goal for you to compete in bodybuilding competitions right from the beginning, or was it something that grew in your mind as time went on and you saw the progress in your body? YES!


Can you give me your competition history:

2000 Overall Palm City Champion
2000 Overall Junior Florida Champion
2000 Overall Southeastern USA Champion
2001 Overall Miss Florida
2001 15th Place Nationals- Heavyweight

2002 9th Place Nationals-Middleweight
2003 4th Place Nationals- Middleweight
2005 9th Place USA-Light Heavyweight
2005 6th place Nationals- Heavyweight


Which contest has been your biggest success; Which has had the most meaning to you.
2005 6TH Place Nationals- Heavyweight

Please tell me something about your training routine: 
TRAINING: 5days on 2 days off;
CARDIO: Doesn’t begin until 9 weeks out; Starting at 20 minutes and eventually doing split: 60 min. AM 60 min. PM; Training routine never changes.

What is your favorite exercise in the gym and which one do you not like so much? 
Like: Shoulder press
Dislike: Any biceps movement

Which body part is Best in your opinion: My back and shoulders

STATS: Lifts: Flat bench press: 225 lbs for 10; 315 squat for 10; Flat Dumbell press 80 lbs; Dead Lifts 315 lbs at the end of back workout;
-My husband and I don’t get wrapped up in numbers; His philosophy is that the mirror tells all. We’ve never gotten into scales, body weight, or even poundages in the gym. In the future, this is something we could possibly supply you with, but right now, my symmetry; overall muscularity; and feminity tells all. And in my husbands words: “We possess not only muscle but the epitome of what a female body builder should be.”

DiRenzo was awesome.. with this haircut, style of sunglasses, and the lantern jaw, she reminds me a lot of Elena Seiple (at the end of Elena's bodybuilding career).
Rest in peace ~
