Let us welcome the charismatic and entertaining Carolyn ”The Iron Princess” Bryant to beyond the stage!
RM: Carolyn, you made your bodybuilding debut at 33 years of age, why did you wait so long before entering the stages?
CB: Well I have been on all kinds of stages since age 16 as a professional dancer, beauty queen and sportscaster. When I got serious in the gym I chose powerlifting as a sport until I suffered a serious back injury. I still wanted to compete in something so I picked bodybuilding or maybe it picked me.

RM: Do you have any crazy stories to tell us that that occurred during your years of training?
CB: Lots of them. While training for a bench press competition we put 225 pounds on the bar, a max for me at the time, and I when I got it up my feet went into the air because I was so excited and I kicked my partner in the face. Thank god I didn’t break his nose or bust his lip.
RM: What are the most important characteristics a man should have from your perspective

RM: What is important to practice when it comes to posing and presenting your physique on stage when it come
CB: Knowing your strengths. Learning how to work your angles like Modeling 101. Being confident, poised and entertaining. If this is not your forte, pick some awesome music to move the crowd.

RM: Do you have any favorite movies you would like to share with us and additionally tell us why the movie is special for you:
CB: Well I watched “Gladiator” everyday before I went to my 10pm cardio session while prepping for a show. “Bonnie and Clyde,” “Sampson” and “Scarface.” I love strongmen, gangsters and sappy love stories.
RM: Halloween is coming up in a few weeks, what are your plans and if you had to wear a costume which one would it be and why?
CB: This is my favorite holiday outside
In the final of this interview is there anyone you would like to thank or something you might add – please feel free to do so:
