Bodybuilding career

Amateur

In 1984, Raganot began training as a bodybuilder in high school. She was inspired after watching the film Pumping Iron 2, which featured bodybuilder Rachel McLish. In 1991, she began training under bodybuilder Debbie Houck, whom she credits with helping her progress from the amateur level to the professional ranks. Brenda earned her pro card in 1998 when she won both the middleweight and overall titles at the NPC Nationals. [1]

Raganot alternated between the lightweight and heavyweight classes since weight classes were introduced at the pro level in 2000. She has been one of the top pros in recent years, with her best results being lightweight class wins at the Ms. International in 2000 and 2005. [1] [2]
