A New Year…almost.
I’m totally excited about competing in ‘09. I’ve picked the shows and marked all the weeks out on no less than 3 calenders. The 4 shows I’ve picked are all roughly 8-10 weeks from each other, meaning I will literally be dieting for the next 40 or so weeks…that sounds horrible until I remember that I grew and birthed two children in the same amount of time and I was able to withhold from the no-nos of pregnancy (alcohol and sushi, mostly). I can do this, I want this, I WILL do this! In the scheme of life, dieting for most of the year is not too bad. I figure if I just look at the pros to every con, I’ll have a better outlook on the situation, i.e. not going out with friends on the weekend to enjoy drinks will not only keep my waist from expanding, it will save money (lots, at times). Eating the same thing every single day is not boring, it’s a science. I know exactly how much to eat and how long it takes to prepare, meaning I spend less time at store and in kitchen and more time doing everything else I need to finish! I’m sure my point is being made. I just have to have the attitude that if this is something I want enough, nothing will seem TOO difficult!! Plus, I can’t wait to have the body changes to post on BB.com!!

Looking great but I question - can you REALLY curl 60+ plus pounds?? Post a picture to prove it… My wife wants to look like you but is afraid to lift the heavy weights.

The 60+ is what it says my max rep would be, but I’ll see if I can get a pic of me doing as much as I can…that whole 1 rep max is a bit dodgy, but I can curl a 45lb barbell about 15 or so. I’ll let you know when I have a pic!!

"…can you REALLY curl 60+ plus pounds??"
I should hope so. It’s simple biomechanics. A healthy person with your dimensions and strength level should be able to barbbell curl 70-80% of their weight for one rep. Anyone who deosn’t know that is a ****ing idiot.
Please get a vid of yourself barbell curling 70% of your weight so you can both understand how right I am. Or at least try to barbell curl 70% of your weight and tell me how it goes.
CarlC couldn’t find a clue on Cluegle. I hope you’re a little brighter than him.

Just started reading and wondered why JMorgan feels compelled to put people down. Not nice.
