| Where and when were you born?
I am born in a small town Amqui, province of Québec in Canada What is your profession? Pro bodybuilder / figure and I work for Gaspari Nutrition Were you involved in sports or fitness prior to bodybuilding/figure and how did you get started with weight training? Don’t know I always love to be different and do a lot of sport like speed skating and I was like my calves and legs , and at 13 years old I had a friend that he was love bodybuilding we didn’t have any gym in my town so he was training at home and he was show me all the magazine on this sport and I fall in love with the sport and my friend that we was sharing the same dream go kill by a drunk guy just before Christmas so he was my motivation and I know he wanted to compete so I did it for him. Was it a goal for you to compete in figure competitions right from the beginning or was it something that grew in your mind as time went on and you saw the progress in your body? I was doing bodybuilding for 18 years and more the years was going more that sport is getting really I am talking about reputation and money, I think after Muscle Elegance Magazine start to much girl with no integrity did the naked photo with no class for a small amount of money so be a Bodybuilder for me is really embarrassed now so I decide to switch to figure not because I will win money to do contest but it was easy for me to have a contract with gaspari nutrition. Before when I was bigger people wanted me in there team they was like how I look but they didn’t like my title pro bodybuilder they was said you will be the same way look and we will sign you if you will be with a different title. So I consider a smart woman because I always work all my life beside compete. Can you give me your competition history? Go get it in my website www.cathylpriest.com I done to much it will take for ever to write it Which contest has been your biggest success; which has had the most meaning to you?
My first show in 1989 I won the best poser, best routine and did great. And this one the Arnold’s classic in 2003 I was really happy to win because my ex husband lee priest left me for an other girl and move in Texas and leave me in California with no family and friend so I call the only person a new, Scott Noelte he was one of lee friend and he help me in my hard time and specially to stay focus on the show and my diet and help me to stop hurting. I tell everyone I won because the support and respect of Scott. And you can see on stage I look happy and I am beautiful. Please tell me something about your training routine (ie: how many days per week / training split /cardio, etc.) I train like I feel I never had a program and never do to much cardio , I train hard and always try to do my best. Anyway all the training they are all the same if you eat good and take good supplement and focus you don’t need to make a big deal with the cardio. What is your favorite exercise in the gym and which one you don’t like so much?
I like all of them specially train back and legs because they are the harder one I did squat 3 plates and 35 each side 20 rep stuff lie that and shoulder dumbbell press with 85 lbs Which body part is your best in your opinion? I am really balanced they always said I got everything the same, but the true it will be my heart!! If you don’t mind would you give me some stats (best lifts and some body measurements)? Still legs with 100 lbs 25 rep and legs press with 13 plates each side and I have bench press record I was 118 pounds and I bench 185 approved and the 200 got cancel because my feet move a little but it was still a record. What do you enjoy about training for competition... looking good and feel good and the discipline you need to have and organisation so good for me because I am organisation freak!! .what do you enjoy about the 'off season'? Eat some M&M and not eating every 3 hours and no cardio and train just when you feel like it Please describe a typical day in the life of Cathy Lefrancois Priest.
