Former IFBB professional figure competitor and model, Monica Brant was born October 26, 1970 Ft. Hood, Texas.
Monica started lifting weights in 1991 and became inspired by another fitness legend, Marla Duncan.
She began competing, but really didn’t get into serious fitness competition until 1995.
The thing that may have really got Monica thinking about her place in the fitness world, was that in 1994, the fitness magazine Muscle and Fitness honored her with a cover shot.
Monica went on to win and place in almost every major women’s fitness competition for several years.
She retired from competition in 1998, but returned in 2003 after finding out that figure competition would be part of the sport of bodybuilding.
