Suzanna Mcgee Part 2
In part one we discovered
that Suzanna McGee is no ordinary woman. This natural body builder shares more
of her nutritional secrets with us as well as her plans for the future which
include more competitions and writing.
Fat Burners
When preparing for competition, Suzanna will
use fat burners, while extremely aware of the doses she's taking. In the off-season,
she'll take a break and train with nothing in her system.
Sometimes, before the contest I will use thermogenics,
mostly 1/3 of a daily dose, only in the morning when I do cardio on an empty
stomach, just to preserve my muscles.
She has used Ripped Fuel, Xenadrine and Hydroxycut.
Her favorite is Ripped Fuel because two capsules provide the following ingredients:
334mg MaHuang Extract; 910mg Guarana Extract; 100mg L-Carnitine; and 200mcg
Chromium
Tanning
Tanning
beds are a must in Suzanna's lifestyle. I love tanning beds. I have an unlimited
membership in my salon and I go there about 3 times a week to take a 20 minute
nap after my workout. In the summer, you will see her laying out in the California
sunshine. As for self-tanners, Suzanna uses ProTan two to three days before
a contest.
Diuretics
A
few days before the big day, Suzanna will use natural diuretics such as dandelion
root or uvi ursi to assist the body in losing water. I don't really believe
in using diuretics during normal/regular training days though. I also drink
two to three gallons of water, and water is a natural diuretic.
Sugar
Moments before displaying
her hard-earned physique to the critical judging panel, Suzanna will consume
specific foods in an effort to increase her vascularity. I will eat something
a bit sugary like raisins, and I also eat rice cakes... but I don't think
it makes such a big difference on my body.
Back stage, you can bet all the athletes are
doing everything legal to give them a visible edge. Hey, we know that there
are red wine bottles going around.
Bodybuilders, more often than not, have very
little energy left to walk or even hold a conversation; Suzanna has seen competitors
faint back stage. Testing Mother Nature, female bodybuilders are pushing their
bodies further then ever before, so it's not a surprise that many simply pass
out.
Television
& Magazines
Suzanna has her own international TV fitness
show, which airs live (weekly) on Pars TV network. Loving the camera, she's
enjoying acting and modeling. I've also done some national commercials and
movie extras. Of course, this is LA. I've been featured in the Swedish B&K
(similar to Muscle & Fitness), and I am the next Planet Babe in Planet
Muscle Magazine, out February 25, 2002.
Is Bodybuilding
For You?
Are you, yes YOU, are you
thinking about competing and making bodybuilding your career? If so, Suzanna
would like to let you know: Do it because you love it. Don't do it to be
rich, or to be in a magazine; that passes. You have to love the sport and
training, because it is a lifestyle. You train, eat, and rest is bodybuilding.
Having completed myself, I can agree with Suzanna
and suggest that anyone interested in competitions should enjoy the entire
process, not just where you place.
Next Contest
Seeing
what Suzanna has conquered in the past few years, she is still training full
speed, preparing to compete in the NPC show in Contra Costa and California championship
this May. I may do more later. I still need to check the schedules.
Upcoming
Book
In several years,
Suzanna will be writing a book with all the knowledge that she has collected
over the years. The book will be connecting the extremes of bodybuilding
with the opposite extremes of eastern medicine and lifestyle. I want to find
a happy medium for a bodybuilders' well being.
Besides being a writer, which not many people
know, here's another peek into who Suzanna is. While most of us feel fortunate
to get out of the country and enjoy the tastes of another lifestyle, Suzanna
has witnessed a few differences between Americans and Europeans.
I keep really low key. I think that's the
European mentality. We don't brag so much.
Well, this is your chance to brag! Please go
right ahead and toot your horn. Besides, who else will?
If I look at my life, I've done a lot of interesting
things. I am not just an athlete: I also have a great education; I speak six
languages; I am well traveled and have lived in different life styles and
cultures (communist, socialist, and now here in the US). There are a lot of
differences.
Hobbies
With
her baby girl Peanut (a three-year-old mix of Labrador and red nose pit bull),
Suzanna enjoys the outdoors. I love nature. I like all sports and dancing on
roller skates. I love animals, music (hip-hop and R&B) and shaking my booty
to it. I like to read and write (non-fiction). I like to create things.
Talking about creating, with what you have
created within your physique, I must personally congratulate you and commend
you on all the sweat-bursting, and sugar free hours you have put into your
body!
Arnold
Classic 2002
The Arnold Fitness
Weekend consists of the Arnold Fitness Expo, the Martial Arts Festival, Arnold
Cheerleading and Dance Team Championship, the Arnold Gymnastics Challenge
and the 5K Pump and Run. Even more was added for 2002!
Held in Columbus Ohio, this contest featured
hundreds of athletes, one being Suzanna McGee. I was working in the booth
for Planet Muscle, autographing the magazine where I was featured as Planet
Babe. I enjoyed posing with fans and taking pictures. It was a long, BUSY
weekend, but lot of fun!
Next year I'll be looking for you at the Arnold
Suzanna! You are a great inspiration, and I thank you for coming to America
and bringing your great booty with you!
