Debbie Bramwell Edit Profile
Education
In 1984, she graduated from Parsippany High School. She never thought about competing as a bodybuilder until after she was persuaded by a trainer in a gym in San Diego in 1996, and after having completed Tony Robbins personal power program
Career
While in school she excelled on the girls" softball team as a pitcher and claims that she was able to defeat most of the boys in her classes at arm wrestling. After obtaining credentials as a beautician she moved first to Phoenix, Arizona and later to Louisiana Jolla, California where she eventually started her bodybuilding career. Amateur
At the age of 26, she joined her first gym in Phoenix, Arizona to stay in shape and a female personal trainer put me on a program and showed her how to train.
Shortly afterwords she would meet a noncompetitive male bodybuilder who would show her how to get in shape.
She would date the bodybuilder for 4 years. Soon became evident that she had the genetics for bodybuilding and, after some persuasion, she entered her first contest in March 1997.
Her early contest history consisted mainly of regional shows which culminated in an overall victory in the 2001 Borderstates Championship. She made her first National-level appearances in 2002, placing fifth in her class at the United States of America Championship and has been a consistent top five finisher ever since.
