Q: Lacey, first I want to thank you for taking the time to do this.

Q: Can you start out by telling a little about yourself.
A: Hi my name is Lacey Lynn I was born and raised in a small town Called Payson in the great state of Utah . I was raised by my mother who was a single parent she raised my brother and sister and I .. I get my focus and ambitions from her she was an amazing inspiration to me.

Q: Before the gym, were you an especially athletic person?
A: Growing up I played soccer starting at about 8 years old . I also got into Track and cross country running. I loved sports all through my younger age but didn't find my true passion for weight lifting till I was about 14.

Q: What initially led you into the gym?
A: In school I was able to take a weight lifting class. It mostly was mostly for the boys but I was one of the few girls in the class. I enjoyed it very much. I graduated at 16 and got a gym membership soon after . I couldn't stay away. It was my escape and my number one passion.

Q: Did you pick up weight training fairly easy?
A: I picked it up fairly easy. Watching other people in the free weight section watching form and learning new lifting methods to expand on what I had learned in class.

Q: What made you decide to compete for the first time?
A: I started having the interest in competing when I started working out at the gym. Several women at my gym competed and I decided it was what I wanted to do as well ... I admired the hard work and the lean muscular look.

Q: Was competing something your family and friends supported?
A: Its an up and down support system I have I know my mom worries about my competing because the bf percentage you have to drop down to isn't always healthy. But my family and friends see my dedication and have supported me for the most part. It is really time consuming and can take me away from spending time with my family and friends Its a tough sport any one who competes I'm sure can relate

Q: Was competing what you expected or were there any surprises?
A: Definitely the thing that surprised me most was how its feels to put your body through the intense diet and training. People can tell you what its like but you have to see for yourself.

Q: You have been doing Bikini but the plan is to do Figure correct?
A: I have competed for a year now I started in bikini but realized I was built more for figure although I have done decent at bikini I know my pro dreams are in figure. I just started and am working towards getting my pro card I'm five weeks out from my next show.

Q: Do you feel Bikini competitors are becoming more accepted by other competitors?
A: I think that bikini division has become more excepted with time. I think it opens up alot of doors for women just starting it allows them to get the experience and from there they can decide if they want to stick to bikini or jump up to figure like I did. I have trained many girls for the bikini division and I'm very proud of them ....

Q: What would you say is your best body part?
A: I would say my legs are my best feature. I don't have to work them as hard as alot of people It was a genetic gift :-)

Q: When people see or hear you compete for the first time, what is the typical response?
A: People are usually surprised that I'm new to competing this year. I'm young and my muscles are mature for my age ... more positive reactions women especially they respect your hard work and are curious ... I spend alot of time answering the same questions however I don't mind. I love this industry and want to help any one in any way I can.

Q: What is the biggest misconception bout women who train and compete?
A: Biggest misconception is how long it takes to look a certain way to get on stage. Most people do know it takes years and years of consistent training and no special diet pill will make you look like a figure competitor ....

Q: What is the best and worst part of competing?
A: Best part of competing is having a goal in mind that focus and end result makes it worth it ... Worst part is sometimes it can take over your life. You eat sleep and breath this sport ..

Q: Do you have a favorite cheat food?
A: Favorite cheat food Pizza for sure

Q: If another woman told you she wanted to start training, what advice would you give her?
A: Best advice stay consistent nothing happens over night ... I think people want quick results and when they don't see them they give up. Also no matter your age its never to late to get in better shape. Last thing is alot of people use the excuse they don't have time yet they will watch t.v ... Take that time to improve your health and fitness. You only live one life.
