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!
