Lisa McKeogh - 2009 Team Franco

Update!! Lisa won her IFPA Pro Card at this years OCB Mid Altantic along with her Pro Masters Card. Here is the video of her figure walk and winning moments!

Working with Joe Franco and the members of Team Franco has increased my love for body building. In the past training for a show was tedious, dieting was grueling, and on the day of the show, when I need to be my best I was hungry, tired and weak. No athlete in any other sport (except maybe wrestling) puts themselves in a weakened condition to compete. It makes no sense.

Joe Franco figured this out. He not only developed a personalized training program that suited me, he planned a nutrition program that kept me well hydrated and well fed. I never felt better training, the week before the show I felt great and the day of not only did I look competitive but I felt strong. It is a good thing. The figure competitors in my division were on stage posing for 20 minutes. If I had been hungry or dehydrated I would have been cramping at the very least or passed out.

I am fortunate to have him as a coach/trainer. My goals are being achieved as a result of his hard work, perseverance, and honesty. If I look fat he says so, if I am making gains, he points it out. He is 100% professional and just a great person.
