THOUGHTS OF A FITNESS FREAK

My friend Doug asked me to help a figure newbie to train with her posing.  The biggest part is probably nerves, they tend to make you forget how to relax and turn.  my biggest problem, but probably knowing my own flaws will help me help this girl.  Im going to bring my video camera to see if she will let me tape it.  I’d love to prep her!  Tanning, all that good crap.  Now, he says she is pretty muscular, this may be good or bad…..its FIGURE.  So if a bunch of bikini chicks show up and cross into figure and she stands out too much it could hurt her.  All depends on the judges. Posing has also changed and I need to practice myself.  No more looking flexed and tensed, no more pushedout glutes.  Its going to be rough as I have kind of formed habits.  She has it easier being new!  I will let you know how it goes.  Seriously, hope I can go to her show, maybe throw myself in as it is not until May..the jay cutler classic in boston I think.  Not like we will be competing as I would do only masters.  Doing too many classes is tough and last time I had a bloody toe from my shoes from being on stage too much.

Dud back aND bis tonight and a little shoulders.  I am proud that I can do 2 45’s and 4 10’s on my bent over rows now.  6 reps!!  For bi’s we did curls on the low pully’s with the bar and drop setted.  we did delt flies, bent ober db rows, barbell curls,urright smith rows, press downs, seate rows (I exceeeded my max and hit 130 today) .  Honestly, it was kind of a whirlwind visit because I had 2 scoops of superpump and everyone wanted to chat tonight. Its ok, its fun.  Life is always better when I can joke around  little bit.  I think I need more carbs even though I got a decent pump, felt it could have been better.  I believe my only carbs were a coffeee cup of oatmeal.  What I need is some giant bowl of pasta!  Oh, here is a great meal

whole wheat pasta

add broccoli, but just to warming (frozen kind) nice and aldente’

garlic powder and I cant believe its not butter spray.

You can also put in some chicken or shrimp……sometimes I throw in stewed tomatoes.  Its fast, its clean…….yummy.

You can keep cooked pasta for days and the whole wheat doesnt get mushy when you reheat it. I do the same with my rice and my ground turkey.  Mix your stuff with seasoning, light on the salt though.  You cant be "leftover shy" when going lean.  Too wasteful.

Ok, gotta run.  I posted my geeky interview on my page.  Its a whole minute long…….grueling
