In this podcast, I (Bud) track Nancy at the mid-Michigan Natural Bodybuilding competition held April 29, 2006 (Quicktime 21.1 MB; Google Video, no download but much lower quality). Nancy competed in both the masters and open portions of the competition, taking fifth in the masters and first in the heavy-weight division of the open.
The video shows Nancy's 60 second posing routine in the masters competition (first photo on the left). In this routine, she did the seven compulsory poses: front double biceps, front lat spread, side triceps, side chest, rear double biceps, rear lat spread, and ab and thigh. Nancy is currently doing a series on compulsory bodybuilding poses in our video analysis section.
In the second segment of the video, we see Nancy's complete open, heavy-weight competition (second photo on left). This included quarter turns during which the judges evaluated her resting physique, her compulsory poses, and the 60 second routine.
In the third segment of the video, we see Nancy's freestyle performance, already shown here once by itself. In the fourth segment, we see the awards ceremony (poor video quality) where Nancy received fifth place in the masters.
In the fifth segment, we see Nancy in a posedown for the women's overall competition after she had won the heavy weight (third photo in the series). The posedown provided the judges an opportunity to see the two competitors, who had been in different weight classes, together.
Finally, we see a series of stills of Nancy with Mary, her coach, me, her training partner, and Jim, her husband.
