Hardness23’s BodyBlog

Last night was the most fun I’ve had in a long time, playing poker with old friends.  I had one of those energy alcoholic drinks, and with 10% alcohol and a ton of sugar, I was off the wall hyper and buzzed since I never drink.  I’m proud of myself for just having that and cutting myself off.  I remember when I was younger I used to drink non-stop and not know when to quit.  I was feeling so good but still decided to start drinking water.  I wanted to snack all night so while they were pigging out on chips and queso I raided the fridge and found turkey breast slices and dipped them in salsa.  Then everyone was laughing at me because I pulled random shelled walnuts out of my purse and made a mess with trying to crack them open.

For thanksgiving I’m going to two parties and want to eat mashed potatoes, so I decided this morning to go on a badass run at this park in Tucson that I hear is beautiful but I’ve never been there.  My lungs were burning out of my chest but I enjoy putting myself through pain I guess.  My legs are sore too and I don’t run anymore so it was quite painful, but exhilarating. I’m attaching a picture of the park.

Hey girls!  Guess what?
I’ve decided to switch from competing in figure to competing in bodybuilding.  Everyone including my boyfriend says- but why?  You’re too pretty!  Why do you want to look like that?
Because I CAN!  Let me be who I want to be!
It’s getting to be way too crowded in all the figure classes and I don’t agree with the judging anymore.
I want to be judged on my hard work in building muscle and having a strong shapely body, and I never want to have to do a T-Walk again!
I would rather flex, and have fun with the audience with whatever routine I have.  I feel I’ll be able to throw my hair up, forget about my makeup, and be myself in front of the audience.  And of course the best part- no hooker heels!  I will still feel beautiful, but just more comfortable.  And since there are way fewer girls who compete in bodybuilding now at the amateur level, I know I’ll have a good chance at winning.
I have a good start because my muscle has been packing on like crazy and I’m going to keep adding it until I feel like I have enough to compete.  I’m interested if anyone agrees or disagrees with me on these things or can relate.  I want to be a feminine but strong capable woman and represent a new era of women bodybuilding, maybe get us some media coverage and bring us back in the picture.

For some reason whenever I train shoulders I find the only way to get a pump is through the assisted shoulder press.  When I go unassisted whether it is light weight or heavy, I feel like I cannot get a good pump in my shoulders.

I wonder why this is since supposedly going free weight is supposed to recruit more fibers and produce more growth.  When I push up on the assisted shoulder press it burns and my muscles are much more sore the next day than when I go free bar.
