Twenty-year-old Werstiuk, who
qualified for the event Sept. 19 at
the Canadian national champion-
_ships, is the only competitor from
Western Canada and will pit her
muscles against women from all
over the world in the Nov. 20-23
event.

“She’s a natural body-builder,”’
explains manager and boyfriend
Wayne Scott. ‘‘She just has the
perfect genetic and symmetrical look
for a body-builder.”’

And Werstiuk’s body-building
look has won her high piacings in
competitions since she started in
the sport 20 months ago. The
North Vancouver fitness instructor
took top honors in recent Miss

THE CAPILANO Rugby Ciub (dark jerseys) clawed their way to a 20-6 victory over the Clive Rugby Club
of Hawkes Bay, New Zealand last week at Klahanie Park. Scoring the four tries for Capilano were Tom
Huska, Tony Scott, Clayton Wick and Glenn Audette. Clive played only two games in Canada.

In next month's championships
she can expect tough competition
from the international crowd.
With the world’s top under-2!
competitors present Werstiuk ad-
mits her chances of winning are
slim.

“But I hope to place in the top
seven,’’ she says confidently.

“I’ve heard (that) a lot of the
German girls are on steriods so I'll
look a lot smaller and theyll be
that much bigger,’’ explains
Werstiuk, a former North Shore
News Sunshine Girl.

While she does not use steroids
or any other performance-boosting
drug, amino acid tablets are used
to supplement her body-builder’s
strict diet. ‘‘They give you energy
— lots of energy.”

Until the third week in October,
Werstiuk will try to gain as much
weight as possible while at the
same time building up her muscles.
A month before the competition
she will begin a strict diet, losing
the weight but keeping the muscle:

of only 500 calories a day. ‘‘But
you can’t stay at your competition
weight for very long or you'll die,”
she explains.

Putting on weight then taking it
off gives her a chance to gradually
reach her optimum, rather that
struggling at the almost impossible
task of maintaining her competi-
tion weight until the champion-
ships.

Next month’s championship is
divided into two events: the com-
pulsory posing and free posing.
The free posing is the tough one.

“When you’re up there it’s
hard,’’ says Werstiuk. ‘‘The 90 se-
conds you're given seem like an
hour and a half.

She trains for about two hours a
day, working with both free and
fixed weights. After the weights
she hops on an exercise bike for a
quick ride.

A month before the champion-
ships she will start aerobics.

On the day prior to the competi-
tion she will not drink anything.
