Wed, 21st October, 2009
Join us as we wish our friend and client, Kim Lairet, the very best of luck as she takes the stage this Saturday (October 24, 2009) at the NPC Texas State Championships!
Kim last took the stage at the 2009 Arnold Amateur and placed an amazing 2nd in Figure F. This was only Kim's second show and she has made some AMAZING progress.
One thing to admire about Kim is her dedication! She has been deployed in Afghanistan for the last 6 months and in perfect Kim style, when life hands her lemons, she makes muscle!
Follow along with us as we sit back on Saturday and watch Kim take the stage. We will post updates as well as photos from the show.
Here's hoping for an overall!
