Tomoko Kanda - Female Bodybuilder From Japan
Tomoko Kanda calls herself the "Steel Butterfly" but I think "Steel Rose" is a better term. Tomoko, photoged here by GeneX, has this bio from her website:
VITAL STATS
" Born: Osaka, Japan
" Height: 5' 4"
" Weight: 135lb (contest) 150-170 lb offseason.
" Years Bodybuilding: 14
" Favorite Bodypart: Back
" Favorite Exercise: Dumbbell Press, Barbell Press
" Favorite Supplements: Whey Protein, Glutamine, BCAA's
How Did You Get Started?
When I was at a gym, I met a friend who was a power lifter and asked me to become his training partner. That dragged me into serious training in bench pressing.
What Workout Plan Worked Best For You?
Two days on one day off routine is best for me.
What are some of your best lifts?
Dumbbell press 75 lb for reps, lat pull down 200 lb (entire stack), bench press 225 lb (max),
barbell rows 225 lb (for reps). Squats over 500 lb (on hack squat machine).
What Nutrition Plan Has Worked Best For You?
Eat lots of chicken and meat even if you are in off-season. Try not to eat so much junk food either, that is killing you, if you are on diet before the contest. Take supplement such as BCAA & Glutamine, and protein before and after workout, and before bed.
What Supplements Have Given You The Greatest Gains?
Glutamine and BCAA's have given me the greatest gains.
Why Do You Love Bodybuilding?
I love bodybuilding because it gives me motivation and goal.
What Are Your Future Bodybuilding Plans?
To keep training hard and live a healthy lifestyle. In time, I hope to take my physique above 2004 level.
What One Tip Would You Give Other Bodybuilders?
Workout hardcore (but no injury please) and continue what you are aiming for, and eat well!
Who Are Your Favorite Bodybuilders?
My favorites are: Franco Columbu, Arnold S., Juliette Bergman,Yaxeni Oriquen and Vicki Gates.

Mike of MuscleMayhem Gives His View of The Ms International Held Earlier This Year
Mike of MuscleMayhem Gives His View of The Ms International Held Earlier This Year
I thought this was an interesting take to share with the audience here.
Well, as stated an hour before the end of the Ms. International Bodybuilding Show, Yaxeni was given the nod for first place. She was clearly in the best shape of her life, with hamstrings that had the audience gasping in amazement.
I have NEVER seen so many women off their peak at any one show.
Iris was penalized for more than obvious lumps in her rear end and shoulder (it was pretty shocking), Kristi Hawkins Was OFF her Nationals 2007 conditioning, Debbie Lascewski was way OFF her Nationals 2006 victory. (And I love the Kristi and Debbie L physiques.) Colette Nelson was off but had a very cool routine as she usually does. Colette is focusing on the NY Pro and should bring a much tighter package now that she is focused.
Honorable mentions to Cathy Le Francois and Annie Riveccio who both made significant improvements and brought their best packages to date. Cathy had deeply striate glutes and a graceful routine. Cathy was just off the hook with her conditioning and attitude on stage. She was robbed and should have placed a lot higher than where she did.
Annie increased her bicep and shoulder size to match her legs - and her stage presence was great. She has broken through the 'shy' barrier. If she can come in a little dryer/a little more conditioned, Annie would consistently place in the top 5 at any show.
As for Iris Kyle-
I've heard she was disqualified and I've heard she was penalized. Either way, Iris had MAJOR knots in the shoulders and glutes. What they were I can only guess, but it was enough for audience members to talk about them and for the judges to deem her not 'TOP 6' worthy. What does this mean for the future of women's BBing? Only time will tell.
