2004 Show of Strength Figure Competition
With the prejudging callouts serving as accurate forcasters, the redoubtable Jenny Lynn grabbed the top prize at the 2004 GNC Show of Strength, a cool $5000. Lynn had been one of only two women to make the first callout of both the one- and two-piece rounds without the judges needing to see them a second time. The other was Jamie Franklin, who was the show's runner-up. Third place went to the statuesque Amber Littlejohn, still in her rookie year as a pro.
The top 6 placings are as follows:
1. Jenny Lynn
2. Jamie Franklin
3. Amber Littlejohn
4. Christine Pomponio-Robbins
5. Zena Collins
6. Shannon Meteraud
2004 Show of Strength Fitness Competition
With the always-favored Kelly Ryan out of the competition due to a calf muscle tear Adela Garcia-Friedmansky was free and clear to shake and flip her way to first place at the 2004 Show of Strength fitness competition, grabbing $9000 in the process. Her matador-inspired routine thrilled the Cobb Galleria Centre crowd and left them screaming for more. Taking second was Belmar, New Jersey's Kim Klein, who is obviously no stranger to high-level gymnastics. In third was Jen Hendershott who reprised her sneering, swaggering, in-your-face routine from the Arnold Classic earlier in the year.
The top 6 placings are as follows:

2004 Show of Strength Women's Bodybuilding Competition
The Show of Strength women's bodybuilding competition turned out to be an interesting study in contrasts. In the lightweight class it was the venerable Nancy Lewis who, with her spot-on conditioning and leonine lines, took the winner's spoils of $4000. In second was the heavily muscled and zaftig Joanna Thomas, who presented an entirely different look from that of Lewis. Finishing third was Rosemary Jennings, whose physique resembled somewhat of a cross between the two women who finished above her.
In the heavyweight class it was Yaxeni Oriquen, she of the well-proportioned mass, proving dominant and nabbed a $4000 check of her own. In another interesting showdown the Venezuelan was pitted in comparison after comparison against Betty Pariso who, while only slightly less massive, was more defined than Yaxeni, particularly in the upper body. In the end it may have been Yaxeni's shape that was the deciding factor. Lisa Aukland led the rest of the tight field with a third place finish.
In the posedown for the overall title the judges went for mass over conditioning as Yaxeni outdueled Nancy and was awarded an extra $1000 for her efforts.
The top 6 placings in the lightweight class are as follows:
1. Nancy Lewis
2. Joanna Thomas
3. Rosemary Jennings
4. Gayle Moher
5. Mary Ellen Doss
6. Jeannie Paparone
