Goodbye Figure; Hello NPC Fitness!

I was tweeting last night and noticed a tweet about Chuck Liddel being on the next dancing with the stars… holy crap.  I thought surely they jest, could this be true?  Then this morning in the UFC BodyBlog here on BodySpace, I saw it announced again.  I once saw Chuck take part in an experiment, where the measured the sheer force of his punch, through a side of beef, literally; I believe he was somehwhere at 1000 psi… just to note a football player, his name eludes me, went busting through a standard, thick, door and frame, to measure his total output of force, and his entire body full force was the same 1000 psi… but in a small, condensed package located in his fist.  I just cannot see him on dancing with the stars.  I am aware of the sheer athleticism required to dance with perfect technique and impeccable grace… but no matter how manly the man, it just seems to feminize somehow, sorry its just my opinion.  I really like Chuck Liddel and dont know what to think of this.

Anyway enough of that,  I spent hours yesterday editing videos of training and a couple of work outs for this article I am working on for the training section, not my prep.  My eyes are all gummy feeling from wearing contacts and staring at the hi res screen on this laptop for almost 5 hours very late at night.

Five weeks left and I feel pretty good, especially for it being my very first national show.  I have also, as I mentioned before never visited NYC and am really excited about that!  My hubby and I get time with eachother several times a month, at a concert, or a local show.  We are not at all bar people, I think I have been to "the bar" a total of five times in the last five years or so.  We love to play pool, but thats at Dave & Busters or at a friend’s place.  We have never, in 10 years of marriage, and 12 years together been without our kids, and alone, in a far off distant land.  I cannot wait.  I wont be able to eat thie first two days I am there, but after the show on Saturday, and in NYC, I have the tiniest, itty bitty dress and plan on frolicking about NYC and eating and drinking my brains out with my very tolerant and supportive man

We are visiting BodyBuilding.com headquarters next week, on the 29th and I am going to stop by and visit JTV! to chat about my nationals prep for Team Universe, all the great things BodyBuilding.com has done for me and anything else that may come up! If you are in the dark, JTV! is  BodyBuilding.com’s very own weekly web show that hosts different interesting people; for example the heavy metal band Chimaira visited recently on the 13th, and chatted with a lot of people, they can all be rewatched and found in the archive on the main page found here >>>
