24-year-old Betsy Lane is,
self-admittedly, not your typical bodybuilder. You won’t find most of her
competitors doing heavy strength work or hill sprints. Nor will you find them
in the classroom, studying to earn their Doctor of Physical Therapy. Yet with
top-three finishes in both of her recent national level shows, Betsy’s
dedication and somewhat unconventional methods are undoubtedly paying off. But
Betsy didn’t always have a healthy relationship with food, exercise, and
her body. Read on to learn about Betsy’s early struggles and recent big
successes.
Last week, I had the chance to catch up with Philadelphia native and nationally-ranked raw powerlifter Nicole London for a Q&A session.

Find out how Nicole trains, what it's like to be a female powerlifter, what she's doing to gear up for her upcoming competition, and much more.
