Facini takes a step toward pro bodybuildingDate: 06.12.2002 Posted by: Anabolic Info Team United States
Mechanicsburg's Su san Facini realizes the importance of gaining a professional card with the International Federation of Bodybuilders.
Especially when it hands out just five pro cards a year.
Facini earned her pro card two weeks ago at the National Physique Committee's National Bodybuilding and Fitness Championships in Dallas. She won the women's lightweight (under-118 pounds) division.
"I finished fourth last year, so my goal was to finish in the top three this time around," Facini said.
Just so happened she showed up a field of 24 contestants.
Facini earned her pro card as a result of winning. The winners in the middleweight and heavyweight divisions earned cards. The overall winners in two other championships are awarded pro status.
So, when will Facini hit the pro bodybuilding circuit?
"Maybe in a year," she said. "I want to add more muscle before competing professionally."
