Peggy Vreeland

September 30, 2008 by Ian Sitren 


Everyone knows her as Peggy Vee, but her name is really Peggy Vreeland. More than 15 years ago Peggy was competing in fitness and bodybuilding, even winning the Ms. Fitness Michigan title in 1998. Being a mom sidetracked the 44-year-old until a few years ago. Now she’s back and with more enthusiasm than ever.

At her home base in St. Paul, Minnesota, she’s rebuilt her great physique by lifting and eating right. Check out her BodySpace profile at BodyBuilding.com to get a peek at the hot videos from her photo shoots, modeling and posing. She was on the West Coast for the Muscle Beach International Classic over Memorial Day weekend and then at the FAME World Championships in Toronto.

So what makes Peggy Vee go? The onetime social worker with a master’s degree says she likes the way working out makes her look and feel. A healthful lifestyle lets her live her life the way she wants to and gives her the opportunity to help others do it too. As a certified personal trainer she now gets to combine it all in her personal and business lives.

Legends of Bodybuilding: Flex Wheeler
My interview with Flex in 2002 was never completed. Then, suddenly, his cell phone number no longer worked, and my follow-up e-mails were bounced back as "undeliverable." Uh-oh! I stored "Flex 2002" on my hard drive and sketched a mental note: maybe someday. Someday came three years later. In 2005 Flex launched a Web site, and I dropped him a line. A little updating here, some tweaking there, and we produced an account of an extraordinary journey of self. It's worth every bit of the wait.." [PDF]

Super Gripper
Train for a bone-crushing grip and develop huge, powerful forearms for batting power, grappling with a fire-hose or hanging onto a bar! If you’re after huge forearms with the crushing power of an industrial vise, get the Super Gripper. It’s the ultimate forearm- and grip-building tool on the market because it provides your muscles with the two essential requirements they demand for awesome size and strength: specificity and progressive resistance. Specificity means that the Super Gripper exactly mimics gripping action so that the neurological pathways and specific muscle structures you use to squeeze get the full power-training effect from every rep. You’ll develop a bone-crushing grip fast, and as you get stronger, the Super Gripper’s innovative design allows you to increase tension by adding one or a number of power coils for that critical progressive-resistance effect. The Super Gripper has been designed to give you the widest possible range of resistance settings from 8 pounds to 125 pounds by adjusting the two spring coils included accordingly. When it comes to weight-training, progressive resistance is the key. It’s this progressive, or gradually increasing, resistance that forces new demands on a muscle so that you pack on more size and strength--in this case awe-inspiring forearm mass. By working up to more power coils, you make forearm growth happen fast. Remember, your forearm muscles are what people’s eyes are drawn to first. When you wear a short-sleeve shirt, it’s the lower arms that are exposed for all to see. If you’re a bodybuilder, you’ll want your forearms to be huge and vascular to match your thick, beefy upper arms—and they will be once you add the Super Gripper to your training arsenal. After your curls and pushdowns, grab your Gripper and go for the burn. Your forearms will stay engorged for hours, and you’ll build dramatic new muscle in a matter of weeks. Don’t go through life with a pair of buggy whips dangling from your elbows and a dead-fish handshake. Get the Super Gripper and build a bone-crushing grip that commands respect and huge, vascular forearms that demand attention.
