An Interview With IFBB Figure Competitor Jill St. Laurent.

By: Shawn Ray

[ Q ] Where did you receive your Pro Card and what is different from being a Pro compared to and Amateur?

[ A ] Received Pro Card at the 2006 Canadian National Fitness and Figure Championships in Edmonton, Alberta.

The main changes I have had to make from being a Canadian Amateur Figure competitor to an IFBB Pro Figure competitor is with respect to my physique. I have been training like an athlete to downsize my muscle mass and streamline my physique for the Pro stage.

[ Q ] What inspired you to seek out competing in the Colorado Pro Figure as opposed to other shows?

[ A ] I have family that resides in Denver and I am competing in the show at the recommendation of my trainer.

[ Q ] Where are you from and where do you reside? How do you fine traveling on the road while preparing for competition, any special tips or advice?

[ A ] I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada so, all my travel involves air travel and packing food. I just pre-cook and pre-weigh all my food, freeze it and pack it in a travel cooler. I ensure I have access to a fridge and microwave at the hotel and I am all set!
