Poetry in motion, symmetrical, graceful, balanced and beautiful Andrea has the world of professional women’s bodybuilding eating out of her hands literally and figuratively!
3X Rising Phoenix World Champion
On Saturday, November 5th, the reigning and defending 2X Rising Phoenix Champion strolled into Phoenix, Arizona from the cold and blustery Detroit, Michigan in search of yet another victory and in the blink of an eye it was “Mission Accomplished!” From head to toe, Andrea Shaw resembled exactly what the judges criteria for the most “Complete” package should look like in a Champion! She was Full, Defined, Symmetrical, Detailed, Muscular and yet Feminine. For the past 3 or 4 years Ms. Shaw has dominated the landscape of Women’s Professional Bodybuilding without any detractors all while winning in unanimous fashion!
The line-up was stacked with its usual suspects vying for the title and very formidable competition. Andrea, who’s on a mission to grab her 3rd consecutive Ms. Olympia Title this December in Las Vegas, could ill afford to mistime her “peak” here in Phoenix! She’s effectively set the stage for yet another run at defending her Olympia title only a month away!
The weekend showcased the finest athletes in Women’s Fitness and Bodybuilding with a slew of great champions:
