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:

Two days on one day off routine is best for me.

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).

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.
