IFBB Figure Star and Fitness Model, Christine Pomponio-Pate about to Pop


I caught up with one of the industry’s top fitness models and IFBB figure sensation, Christine Pomponio-Pate five days out from her due date. If you haven’t heard, the date I’m referring to is the delivery of her first child. Christine shared that she has gained 17lbs over the course of her pregnancy. Anyone who is close to Christine knows she could usually pack on a good twenty pounds in a few week after a contest. This is a testament to Christine’s dedication to being healthy throughout her pregnancy. Our full conversation related to her pregnancy training and nutrition will be highlighted on a bodybuilding.com feature. Also spotted at the gym during my visit was top national figure competitor, Jacqui Skibba, who is featured in the newest Muscle & Fitness Hers magazine.

Christine and I managed to get a photo shoot at The Point Athletic Club in, despite my main camera malfunctioning. SON OF A! Here’s a peek at Christine just five days out from delivery.
