Damien Fisher’s INBF Natural Atlantic Coast Bodybuilding Show
Irina’s Results!
Damien Fisher’s INBF Natural Atlantic Coast Bodybuilding Show in High Point this past weekend turned out a success! Irina, Archie and I headed out Friday afternoon to enjoy a fun and exciting weekend. This was Irina’s first figure competition. We reported for her polygraph testing Friday at 7:30pm and then headed out to eat dinner after checking in at the hotel.
After eating dinner we stopped at Krispy Kreme donuts where neither of the two had been before. Russia does not have Krispy Kreme and for sure they fell in love with the little “Hot Now” donuts and have a better understanding of what that red sign means when it is on! Irina could not have any of course and Archie and I enjoyed several with a couple of beers to boot at the Longhorn!
Saturday morning started off wonderful! We began our efforts of painting Irina up with several coats of Dream Tan and by the time I was finished the final product looked wonderful! Her hard work for the past 3 months proved she had done a great job and I think Archie was really surprised to see how wonderful his wife looked as she started striking poses to get ready for the morning pre-judging!
Her front and back posing looked very good and we continued with several practice rounds before heading over to my other friends room to surprise them with her finished product!
We headed over to my good friend Shannon Maxwell’s room where she and Jerome Brooks were doing the same thing with friend Linda Smith who was helping them with their painting process as well. The three of them truly looked like winners in my book when they were all finished. We all enjoyed some time laughing with each other and talking about the morning to come and discussed how they each felt about their individual “looks”. Good friend and former competitor, “Red” Walker, came out to support our group as well and we knew we would have a great day ahead for some stiff competition.
Natural bodybuilding is a different sport. It is a special sport. Athletes appreciate the competitiveness of doing the sport naturally and taking good care of their bodies without drug enhancements. The people I have met and helped in the 10 years of doing this sport are special and few! We are a breed of our own. For those that “GET IT” the support of friends and family who come out to support those of us that compete and put this type of show on you are appreciated more than you will know! We DON”T FOOL AROUND and take it very seriously.
As the morning went on during pre-judging here are the photos of the morning competition for Irina.
Irina looked really great in her hand made suit with stones! She had 5 competitors to compete against all who had been in figure competitions before. Her competition was stiff! For a newcomer she got up there and showed her stuff for sure. Her walks and turns looked very good and we were all proud of her display of poise and beauty. Irina learned a lot and will share more on her page about the lessons she learned for the next upcoming show to help her to a better place of taking home the brass!
In between the pre-judging and night shows we went to Wendy’s with all of the gang and met up with Clay and Tracy Barlow and Jimmy and Lynne Maxwell, Shannon’s mom and dad. A couple of other friends of Clay and Tracy’s joined us as well and we had a good time talking over the days competition!

Irina’s family came to the night show to support her. They were very suprised to see their daughter, sister and mom looking so beautiful up on the stage. Luba, Irina’s mom, was totally thrilled I think with the men’s division as I would look over and her eye’s were as big as saucers!!!!!
Beautiful!
The end result produced 3 seasoned ladies to take the 1st three place trophies home. As a judge, I knew Irina needed more muscularity and less body fat. She started 3 months ago and for sure has come along way! She learned so much and will work on building muscle and trimming more body fat over the next upcoming months to produce a more athletic physic to take the brass! Congratulations Irina on a job well done!!!!!!!
Your top 3 seasoned figure winners

October 7, 2009 – We will be leaving for High Point, NC in 2 days. Irina has done a good job with her weight training and cardio over the past 2 months. We will get back with you to let you know how she does. These photos are of her first posing sessions.
Her weight loss is truly beginning to show in her waist and glutes. Also her inner adductors are showing the loss as well. Her back is also beginning to come in now. 
My goal for Irina was to come in around 10-12%. This is a very difficult learning process and also one that requires great dedication. She has done a great job for a novice and I wish her much success this weekend! Good luck Irina! Let’s go show em what you got!
