Roxbury lawyer, bodybuilder trains for "The Apprentice".

Audition tape shows her strength being able to bench-press 465 pounds.

If Heather Darling has her way, she'll be staring across the boardroom table at Donald Trump and will hear the words, "You're hired." Darling, a 35-year-old township resident, has a ways to go until that point - she hasn't even been accepted to "The Apprentice," although she has applied to be on the fourth season of the popular, business-based reality TV show. 

Her audition tape contained some interesting imagery: To illustrate the intensity that she said she would bring to the boardroom, the 5-foot 7-inch attorney bench-pressed 465 pounds. Six times. In addition to being a real-estate investor and an attorney, Darling is an award-winning bodybuilder. 

"I think the body building thing would make them look at it a little bit more," Darling said of the show's talent scouts during a recent interview at her law office on Route 10. Darling has been athletically inclined ever since her days at Roxbury High School, from which she graduated in 1987. She played field hockey, softball and soccer. As she prepared for studies at New York University - she's a 1990 graduate - something happended that changed her life.

"On my 18th birthday, I asked my dad for a gym membership," she said. Soon afterward, she got into a routine that would lead to competitive bodybuilding. But that was down the road. Darling graduated from college and began a career in real estate investing. She did thet for eight years before deciding that she wanted to do something else. She enrolled at Seton Hall University School of Law in 1998.
