To say that weightlifting and bodybuilding is in Nyitray’s blood is an understatement. About two and a half years ago, while playing soccer in adult league, she broke her tibia and fibula in her leg. Wearing a cast, she was back in the gym two weeks later to lift. “I was doing whatever I could do that didn’t require putting weight on my leg,” she said. “I just couldn’t sit around and do nothing because I am a pretty active person. It was God awful. I’m on the go all the time and not being able to do anything for two weeks was terrible.” She now has nine screws and a plate in her leg, but it hasn’t slowed her down as she has ramped up her training for the Organization of Competitive Bodybuilding Pine Tree State Bodybuilding Figure and Bikini Championships that will be in Westbrook on April 12. Her workout routine con- sists of compound lifts such as the bench press, squats and deadlifts, and she combines that with five-sets of circuit training and cardio, depending on the day and her schedule. For the next few months, however, she will be working split routines as she does cardio in the morning and lifting in the afternoon while follow- ing a strict diet schedule that includes eating eggs, oats, lots of vegetables and chicken. She eats every two hours, and also carries around a gallon of water that she drinks daily. “It’s not just the workouts,” she said. “So much of it is really focusing on your diet. If I’m not eating right, I can tell because I don’t have good energy for my workouts. It’s a lot to focus on.” Fleurant, who owns Impact Fitness Center in Biddeford where Nyitray mostly works out, and is her personal trainer, said Nyitray is on the right track for her first competition, which will also include a dance- based fitness routine. “She has a lot of intensity and she’s very passionate about this sport,” he said. “When she works out, she’s concentrating on the weights and she is all business.” That’s true. On the day she lifted her deadlift best, she was 100 percent focused on the lift. After it, she was jovial, talkative and comedic. While Nyitray is training for a figure and fitness com- petition, she doesn’t look like a woman with a steroid-based male physique. She is slender with slight curves, and main- tains a feminine figure, which she said is important. “For figure, it’s like a beauty pageant for ladies that are in shape,” she said. “It is still important to keep a feminine physique.” While the competition is months away, she has seen “huge” improvements in her strength. In three months, her deadlift has improved from 225 to 270, her rack pull has improved from 235 to 285, and her bench press has improved from 125 to 145.” “For a person at her height and weight, those numbers are extremely impressive,” Fleurant said. “Her tenacity and her work ethic are amazing, but at the same time she is very per- sonable.” For Nyitray, juggling a demanding career, her sports needs and a social life can be difficult. She said she tries to give herself at least one day to her- self where she can just relax to maintain her sanity, but for the most part, she is focused. “I get up in the morning and I either workout or go to work, depending on my schedule,” she said. “If I work during the day and I couldn’t work out in the morning, then I do it before I go home. It doesn’t leave a lot of time for a social life, but I am enjoying it.” — Contact Al Edwards at 282-1535, Ext. 323. Body Perfection FROM PAGE B1 Hoeper had a keen eye, even as a very young man. In 1936, Buick restyled its cars and launched a streamlined design to critical acclaim and commercial success. Buyers such as Hoeper loved the look. Today, automo- tive historians revere the name of Harley J. Earl, the founder and head of GM’s Art & Color Section, the first official styling depart- ment at a major automaker. Detractors called Earl’s group the “beauty parlor,” but for the first time in the auto world, design was just as important as engineering, and the result was obvious and immediate. Earl’s extraordinary sleek designs created cars with rounder lines, swept-back windshields, and fully inte- grated trunks for the first time. And they were all beautiful. For 1936, Buick intro- duced four new model names, including the Special (40), Century (60), Roadmaster (80), and Limited (90), and these model names endured for generations.
