Only two IFBB Pro Figure shows remain for the 2010 calendar year. The IFBB Kentucky Muscle Pro competitor list continues to grow and three women will qualify for the 2011 Figure Olympia. It’s a perfect opportunity to snag a qualification before the holidays and take the pressure off in the new year. Promoter Brent Jones always does a solid job with this event and sure to do so once again. The action kicks off next Saturday, November 13, in Louisville, Kentucky.

Who do you think will win the 2010 Kentucky Muscle Pro Figure?

The Hardbody Breakdown: (competitor list as of November 5, 2010)

Teresa Anthony – Teresa is on a roll since the Olympia. Narrowly missing first in Houston and then snagging the top spot in San Diego. She’s the one to beat in this show. She’s always done well at this show and I can’t see this year being any different. There was some rumblings she may not be doing the show despite being on the early lists. If she ends up not being in the line-up the door is open but as of now she’s the one to beat.

Elisha Archibold - We last saw Elisha at the Dallas Europa Super show. She’ll look to crack the top 10 here and could but it won’t be easy. Tina Marie Bloomfield - Tina hasn’t been on stage yet this year. We’ll have to see what improvements she’s made since the 2009 Atlantic City show where she was 16th.

Cheryl Brown – She’s back to defend her title from last year. Cheryl was the winner here in 2009 and continued to find the top 3 in her following three shows of 2010. She landed in the winners spot in New York but fell out of the top 10 at the Olympia. She’ll likely be in the top call-out again here but will have her work cut out for her to repeat as the champ.

Ava Cowan - Ava landed in the top three at the Border States and is already qualified for the 2011 Figure Olympia. The pressure is off her to qualify. Now she can use a show like this to fine tune the little things, like presentation and conditioning. I’d like to see her a little “less full” than she was in California. She should be a top contender in Kentucky.

Jennifer DeJoya – One of the stand out shorties while in the NPC ranks, Jennifer has been up in down with her placings in the IFBB. She carries a good deal of muscle and conditioning is the key to her success. If too hard, she’ll be on the outside looking in. A top five finish is a noteworthy goal and realistic for Jennifer.

Teresa Gillian – We haven’t seen Teresa in awhile and with good reason. Teresa took some time off and had a baby. Momma will return to the stage and look to pick up where she left off in 2008. She was 7th at the ’08 New York Pro and has the potential to be in the mix here. Welcome Back!

Valerie Haines – Val was 10th at this show last year and I could see her moving up this year. She has continued to refine her physique and if she can bring a tight back side she could be in the hunt.

Jacqueline Hoppe – This will be Jackie’s pro debut after taking home the overall title at this year’s Team Universe. We’ll have to wait and see how she stacks up in the pro ranks but she has the potential to do well straight out of the gate.

Ella Horton – Ella will be making her pro debut after earning pro status at this year’s Masters Nationals. She’ll look to show some of the younger competitors that age is just a number.

Charmayne Jackson – Another rookie making her debut. She took top honors in her class at the 2010 Team Universe. She has large quad development and packs a good deal of muscle on her frame. We’ll have to see how it compares to the others in this line up.

Candice Keene – Candice is having a break out year. She’s coming off a top ten finish at the Olympia and has two pro wins under her suit this year. If she is in shape she could be your winner. It will all come down to what type of conditioning she brings to the stage. She could collect win number three if it’s what she displayed in Jacksonville earlier this year.

Cea Anna Kerr - One of the lone Canadians in the line up, Cea Anna is back one again. She’s been competing for a few years and has yet to find her stride in the pro ranks. It will be challenging for her to crack the top spots here but a top 10 placing would be a victory for her, at least in my opinion.

Amy Lee Martin – Amy brought a new, refined look to this year’s Border States but was on the outside looking in on the top spots. She’ll look to make some fine tuning and get in the mix for a top spot here. A top 10 finish here would be an achievable goal for this show as she has yet to find it in the pro ranks. She was the 2008 Overall NPC USA Figure winner and her highest finish in the pros was last weekend.

Stephanie McDonald - Stephanie gutted it out in the NPC ranks the last few years coming close to a pro card a number of times before earning one this year. She’ll look to make a name for herself in her debut. Attention to the little details will help her at this show like hair, make up and stage presence.

Chelsey Morgenstern – Chelsey continues to refine her physique and improve her stage presence. She was 13th at the New York Pro and will look to improve on that showing at this event.

Emily Nicholson – Emily has a different type of structure than many of the other women in the pro ranks. She continues to work on her weak points and her posing can help her move up here.

Shalmieno Paper – She gets an award for one of the longest distance traveled. Shalmieno was out of the top 15 in this year’s Pittsburgh contest and will have her work cut out for her to move up here. If she can bring a little better condition and a different suit than the PA show she could.

Ann Pratt – Ann continues to improve her physique and she looks more and more at ease on stage. I like the improvements she’s made and could see her having her best showing of her career at this show.

Tiffany Procopio – Another rookie making her debut, Tiffany has a nice physique and carries a good deal of muscle. Her challenge is finding balance with her conditioning. Many times in the NPC ranks she was way too hard. We’ll see what type of physique she displays in her first pro show.

Danielle Reutter - Danielle is wasting no time jumping into the pro ranks after earning her pro card at this year’s NPC Nationals. She’s done a great job of fine tuning her physique and could be one of the highest placing rookies.

Natalia Revajova Lenartova – Natalia was on US soil earlier this year at the Arnold Amateur Figure event where she found gold. She’ll maker her IFBB Pro debut and look to continue where she left off. Shala Singer - Shala turned pro earlier this yea at the Team Universe event. She has nice shape. We’ll see how she fairs in her pro debut.

Mikaila Soto – Ms. Soto has an exotic look and has yet to find her stride since turning pro earlier this year. She has a good deal of muscle but continues to refine her physique. I look for her to bring her best package to date at this event.

Gennifer Strobo – Strobo is the X-Factor at this show. She could be your winner or she could be outside of the top three. She’s done a tremendous job of improving her physique since turning pro and has the challenge of being “full”. If she’s too small she looks stringy and it’s not a good look for her. If she can bring a full physique to the stage she’ll return to the Olympia in 2011.

Mavis Tozzi – It’s been a couple years since we’ve seen Mavis compete. The Floridian will return to the stage for the first time since having a baby. She has a nice physique and it will be good to see her back on stage.

Natalie Waples - I have to admit I was surprised at the physique Natalie brought to California. I didn’t think she’d carry enough muscle to hang in the top spots. I was wrong. Natalie showed she has a competitive physique for Figure and will be in the hunt at this show.

Sandie Ward – Sandie is back again after being out of the mix at the Border States. I’d like to see Sandie return to Fitness where I think she’d be more competitive.

Tina White – Tina will look to rebound from her showing at the Phoenix Pro earlier this year. Anything other than tied for 16th would be a step up for Tina in this show.

There you have it kids. My hardbody breakdown of next weekend’s show. Will we see Cheryl Brown repeat as the champ or will a new queen be crowned. If I was a gambling man I’d say we see a new champion announced next weekend. It will be interesting to see how the rookies do in their pro debuts. Who do you like for the win? Think someone has been getting over looked or is one to pay closer attention to? Give a shout out in the comments field.
