Already as a child Lizzy had strong thighs !

A Short Story about my History

Hello my name is Lizzy Bierschneider. The name Lizzy Taylor developed from a modified translation of my German surname, which my American friends gave me with winking That reference to the actress Liz Taylor. My place of birth is Munich/Bavaria. In Germany I spent a great part of my childhood in Munich. I also came to Nuernberg, Cologne and Duesseldorf. Today I live in Düsseldorf.

At the age of 12 I began with ballet and later with 14 years I started equitation. My dream came true when I got my horse by a friend many years later. Its name is Codys King of Power. I spent much time with him and the horseback-ridings in free nature are marvellous and we both enjoy all the seasons in nature.

When I was 20 years young I lived with my small son in Singapore with a Norwegian family for two years. Afterwards I returned again to Germany, my son came to the school and I began with bodybuilding.

I always liked sport and movement, then I visited with my son a gym, during my son was visiting a Judo-course, I met a fitness -instrucor which looked very in shape. She impressed that much that I wanted to have such a muscular body. She addressed me for a sample training in the strength area, so I started with. During the exercises I was immediately inspired and I already trained with high intensity so that I had powerful sore muscles the next day. But this muscle ache drove me again in the gym, because it was a great feeling sensing my body and my muscles so intensively.

I trained every day, because I had much fun with my workout and I also participated in other courses like aerobic and martial arts. In this Gym there was a great variety of sporty offers. Because of my busy life-style I came to many places where I had the chance to visit many different gyms. My muscles became big and hard. It was a cordial feeling to feel my body in a new condition and a beautiful shape; also my general well-being became better.

Approximately 1 year later I was invited by the boss of the Gym to participate in a Gym contest. I liked it standing on the stage or measure me with others. The course of championship: pull-ups, bank pressures (max. weight), 4km run in nature, thereafter still another posing freestyle of me. I won my first award and I was very proud! Afterwards I still participated in championships, last with the German championship in Munich.

After years of training I also came to many countries. My favourite country became the USA very fast. The hole people foremost all the bodybuilders I admired ever, lived there.

1994 in Santa Monica/Venice Beach a producer for Wrestling and Posingvideos asked me to participate in an Amazons video while I was shopping clothes. He told me that I would be introduced into the scene and techniques of wrestling/role play. I was familiar in the best way to do it by my earlier experiences in martial arts, stage appearances and championships with dance and posing. This encounter has set a milestone for my future journeys and activities. Particularly in the Gold´s and World Gym California I met very many nice persons and also trained together with them. These are times, which I will never forget.

My idols are Corinna Everson and Christa Bauch. These two had a top-body and were always good in a good shape. About Corinna Everson I read very much at my beginning and her nutrition and training advises helped me very much.

Christa's great definition and superb hardness was always a huge inspiration in being a bodybuilder AND a woman. This is still MY motivation
