As a young teenager living in Kaliningrad, Russia, Oksana Grishina was a serious student of rhythmic gymnastics. She was so accomplished, in fact, she was awarded the honor 'Master of Sport' – a highly prestigious accomplishment in her homeland. Years later she would drift into the sport of fitness and her striking qualities became widely acknowledged internationally.
As an amateur Grishina was a Russian champion, a two-time Baltic champion, a European champion, and in 2006 she won the IFBB World Amateur Fitness Championships overall crown. With that level of success, she was welcomed into the IFBB pro fitness ranks.

Fit and Focused With Allison Moyer: What Does Your Attitude Say About You?
Charles Swindoll penned one of my favorite quotes regarding attitude;
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.”

Training Induced Muscular Hypertrophy – Part 1: Intensity and Volume
Strength and conditioning is often a subject and or field of study taught and executed for the purpose of enhancing athletic performances of trained athletes. Us bodybuilders definitely like to consider ourselves athletes and we are but in the less traditional sense of the scientific term. Bodybuilders borrow many practices from the basic principles of strength and conditioning to produce desired goals. Strength and conditioning is intended to be sport specific and even athlete specific; that is, building skill sets and attributes of the specific sport and specific position in question. Well now you may ask, how can you apply that to bodybuilding if there is not specific position or sport, so to speak. Although no specific attributes in terms or sports skills are required, we do have a goal in mind, hypertrophy or muscle growth. For this reason we borrow many of the strength and conditioning principles.
