Bodybuilding Feminin DIANNE SOLOMONS
Dianne started dancing in high school but it was not particularly athletic. It was only 20 years old she became interested in aerobics, sport she then taught. Eventually, she became director in a sports center in Torrance, California and has taken the game to lift weights. She continued dancing and started a gym training. Later, she is completely interfered in the middle of Bodybuilding and dropped gradually dance because she had gained weight and was becoming too muscular. She started the competition in 1996, winning the NPC Orange County and collected the runners in the "heavy". Its most beautiful trophies were won the NPC Los Angeles in 2002 and the 2003 Championship of California. She trains five days a week for an hour and a half a day. The muscle legs on Sunday and Monday, and on Tuesday, she devotes its sittings on the chest and triceps; Wednesday, she gives a day of rest; Thursday, she works the hamstrings and calves on Friday, biceps and shoulders. It reveals that his strong point is its legs ... We will not say otherwise!

Something about DIANNE:

I enjoyed dance class in High School but was not particularly athletic otherwise. At age 20 I became interested in Aerobics and started going to regular aerobics classes. Two years later I became an aerobics instructor and continued to teach aerobics classes for the next 12 years. Eventually I became the Aerobics Director at Sports Connection in Torrance, CA, where I also began to play around with weights. During this time I was also an exotic dancer for several years at a club near Gold’s Gym Venice. Some of the Male IFBB Pro Bodybuilders began coming to the club and I began training at Gold’s Gym Venice with a trainer. I put on muscle rapidly, starting at 125 lbs. and nine months later winning the novice division of the NPC Orange County at 139 lbs. I was pretty much hooked on Bodybuilding after this experience and continued to dance for a couple more years until the management felt I was too big to be on stage. I then became a personal trainer at Gold’s Gym in Redondo Beach, CA, where I also teach conditioning classes. I have been there ever since and I really love it there.

Training:
I train 5 days per week for about an hour and a half each day I train. I train quads on Sunday (the most brutal workout), back on Monday, chest and triceps on Tuesday, Wednesday rest, hamstrings and calves on Thursday, and biceps and shoulders on Friday, rest Saturday. The only difference in my off-season training and preparing for a show is cardio and abs. I don't really do much ab work or any cardio off-season. The only thing that really changes is my diet. My best lifts are: Incline dumbbell presses ( I can press 105 lb dumbbells for 5 reps in good form.) My legs are very strong also. I can hack squat 405 for 8 reps below parallel. I can also leg-press 1000 lbs. for 10 reps.

Favorite/least favorite excercise:
My favorite exercise is the incline dumbbell press, because I can lift very heavy and it freaks out the guys. My least favorite exercise is the leg extension because they burn really bad.
