Awesome, what was it like being a guest trophy presenter?

It's always an honor & fun! I won overall at that show in 2011 so they had me present last year as well! The physique guy I prepped won so it was cool giving him his trophy ..

That's pretty sweet, do you prep a lot of different athletes or is it just the one?

I had the honor to be trophy presenter this weekend at the Sunset Classic. Here's a few pics..

I just realized.......no dress this year!

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to LaurieSchnelle again."

Not that it really matters, but damn. xD

When you say you don't do bodybuilders, is that a choice as in you don't want to or you just haven't been in a situation to do that with a bodybuilder yet?

I'm repeating myself here but what the heck, best of luck in Chicago, you should kick some butt!

There's no reset button on this game.. I am not the same. Unlike the critics along the way, I gave my all to make my name.
One chance I've got to get this right, no backing down. i came to fight.
No reset button on this game, this is my shot.. i play for keeps. Early mornings and late nights, I chase my dream while the world sleeps.
No reset button on this game, this is the time,dawn of my day. Pushing forward on My terms,fighting MY OWN FIGHT, WINNING MY OWN WAY! No time to rest. No chance I'll quit, no stop, no pause. Step up! Press Play!

If I'd had your cell I could have told you the cab to take, lol. It's $41 flat rate.

I was lied to then. Im out of O HARE airport.. All good, found a different ride back. thank you.. I have more streak and post show JUNK money now. lol

[Problematique91]

$185 for a cab ride?

Ouch. That's pretty damn steep and I thought taxi's where I live are expensive.

[LaurieSchnelle]

[LaurieSchnelle]

Wow, that's an amazing comparison! Congrats on all your success!!

[Nikonguy]

Great comparison pics and kudos for doing that first show, it must have been hard to "jump into the deep end of the pool".

[Problematique91]

Saw those on your ******** account Laurie, great transformation! You look a lot better now than you did then!

The difference is incredible, impressive!

[LaurieSchnelle]

thank you both. A lot to catch up on here...... HAd to get an MRI to address a neck injury I got 10 years ago in cheer leading & gymnastics. Ive pushed through, but its flared up again. The X-ray wasn't good c-2 thru c-4 in my neck,, but I am hoping for the best & most importantly - keeping my mind positive! Results in tomorrow. MY left front delt is injured as well. Cant turn my steering wheel, so Iv;e done NO UPPER IN 2 WEEKS. AHHHH.. . It's more mental pain than physical for me, being 4 weeks out from PBW Tampa Pro....... :/


here is the good news- I have been crushing my legs and glutes.. Red pic is 2 days out from calli may 25. Left in green is my last show july 4th.. Work in progress.



top pics 1st show in 2011 to current. bottom pics my 2013 pro shows..

[LaurieSchnelle]

MRI results not good! C-2 thru C-7 is messed up. Disk bulges & herniated disk! degenerative disks.. Starting traction rehab Friday! Is worse than I imagined! Plz don't comment suggestions. I'm exploring my options w Dr.'s that know what's going on with me! Tampa pro is still on! Im not backing down!! I havent trained upper body and a week and a half but plan to start lightly Monday.. I'm going to do what I can to bring it!! This is something I've dealt with for 10 years but has gotten way worse. I don't know what it's like to not have a headache every single day, a stiff neck and occasionally numbness down my arm!! I havent been able to train to my full potential this entire time so i cant wait to see what i can do after i get some help for this.

[Stncldsnake]

All those gainz!!!! Great job Laurie!! Hope your feeling better!!

[LaurieSchnelle]

I'm very excited to announce I will be teaming up with Quest Nutrition for the Olympia.. Stop by the booth, would love to meet ya.
