Several weeks removed from the 2010 Jr Nationals, we taped a workout with Christopher San Juan and Ori Atknis who took 1st and 3rd in the Lightweight Class. Joining them in their arms workout at Quads Gym Chicago is Aneta Yanga who took 13th in Figure Class C. Ori decided to help out his fellow Chicagoans get through a brutal workout in preparation for the 2010 Team Universe. After dieting for umpteen weeks and depleted just 10 days out from a show, it's difficult to make it through a workout without some motivational support.
Chris San Juan is looking to keep his momentum after taking first at the 2010 Jr Nationals. He's got the conditioning and this time it shouldn't be in issue making weight. The past week I watched Chris jog in place and spit in a cup all through the end of weigh-ins to finally eek into the Lightweight class.
Aneta has the ability to place higher and was told she came in a bit too soft in her figure class and as such was told to "tighten" it up a bit. A little bit of extra cardio and keeping her diet the same this mom of two has a six pack Anheuser Busch would be proud of and Santa Claus called asking for Christmas Tree back.
And as for Ori Atkins, it was only his second bodybuilding show ever and he still managed to place 3rd in his class.
So expect big things from this trio in in the following week and the years to come.
