Nothing on bodybuilding…just other reflections…this is the side that most of you all never get to see. This is a post from my personal blog.
Currently it is 5:48pm on chilly Monday with a temperature of 36 degrees outside. Today is January 19,2009. Currently listening to ‘Now behold the lamb’.
History is knowledge we use to regenerate ourselves, organize and formulate new knowledge for the future. History provides us with "road maps" to base our future off of. This past year, history has provided us with new information for future years to come. The lamb of God has always promised to protect his people….through struggles and strife…he has promised to never let them fail. In the glimpse of darkness, the Lord provides us with a light so bright that darkness, at times, does not even factor into our cognition. Tomorrow, our world will witness a tangible fruition of God’s holy work. Our country, ridden with the horrors of slavery and continued racism against people of color, will witness another accomplishment of God’s chosen people.
Unfortunately there are only a few who will understand the full totality of this event. Those that have been brought to the light shall see what it is worth and why it is good. Unfortunately others, will continue to hold onto their precious jewels and ideas and continue to be blinded their ignorance and vices of the world. It is only my hope and prayer that people will continue to look towards the sky….towards hope and see the goodness of the Lord. It may not all come as soon as we wish…but continued faith will keep that hope alive.
It is real, the story of how God takes care of his people. In the wake of recent tragedies such as the economy,war, and the emergence of a new cultural identity in America. We needed change, we wanted change. The relics of our trodden past have had their place.
Our ancestors dared to dream. Unfortunately some of their dreams were deffered. But we, not only as blacks, as American citizens pressed on and a leader of change emerged in response to that need.
Luke12:48 states"But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. "
We have requested, we have been given. For as much is required of him….even more is required of us.
Barack Obama the 44th president of "These yet to be United States".

Excuse me Mr."When I grow up I wanna be a personal trainer.".Please don’t do your friends a dis-service by having them go around the gym doing every single bicep and tricep workout their is in the book of bodybuilding and can you all leave the gym and take a break? I’ve been in here for an hour and you all were in I walked in and took my time to change clothes and were still there after I walked back to the locker room and took more time to sit in the sauna and then change clothes. Woooowwwwwww….so Mr.Personal trainer, who has been training different women in the gym (Can we say illegal?), can you please inform all of your buddies of the disadvantages of working out that long? Ohhh…probably not because you are encouraging bad behavior and form by grunting….. and talking to your friend on the smith machine….all while using bad form on some skull crushers!!!!
Not really a rant, although it sounds like it. I just feel bad for the poor souls! LOL!!!!

So, as most of you know…I am a computer engineer by training and an educator by choice. What does that mean? I love computers and technology! My most recent gadget is the hydracoach. How wonderful is that? A gadget to support this bodybuilding habit! I do not work for hydracoach and could really care less if you buy one!!! I just want to put that out there. But, I do want to talk about it and my middle of the night experiences.
First, do you know the importance of water? I don’t know everything….but know that it is important….follow this link to learn more http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jenheath4.htm
Second, how much should you drink each day? For me? Last time I checked it was 91 oz. Now, it is about 113 oz., I usually average a little more than this each day. You can check yours here http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/weik46.htm
Anyhow, since I have been on this water frenzy. I have been waking up in the morning extremely thirsty! I mean like sahara dry mouth!!!! Is that weird or what? Anyhow, maybe that’s a good sign. Now, I need to learn to start keeping some water near the bed so that I don’t have to get to uncomfortable…but then….my water won’t be cold……aaarrrgggghhhh so many decisions to make in the life of novice bodybuilder! LOL!!!
Peace out folks!

So after posting the article…the admin made a comment on the site. He made a reference saying that he didn’t know exactly what was going on. So, I sent him a clarification…and then silence seemed to have taken over the conversation.
For a reference click on my site..and then click on his site to view my response.

Or maybe they didn’t and it’s just me not understanding the rules correctly. So, let me first start off by saying that even though I may not have won the challenge…I could have possibly gotten close. I played by the rules and what did it get me? Nothing! Let me show you instead of telling you.
If you follow this link, you will see that the rules state the following:
Logistics For This Contest:
- All entrants must be 18 years old or older.
- There is a forum thread for this contest.
- If you have multiple accounts here on Bodybuilding.com, only one registration will be accepted.
- Required: Please post your 3-6 photos on your BodySpace profile in the “Progress Photos” section, labeled with “Model Search Entry Photo” (or similar) for easy identification.
- Required: Please also post your video via YouTube on your BodySpace profile in the “Videos Of Me” section, labeled with “Model Search Entry Photo” (or similar) for easy identification. See below for an example.
So, for a few days now as bodyspace announced winners I decided to check profiles. Not looking for goof ups, but just looking at the potential winners. As I looked I couldn’t find which pictures they were submitting for the contest, like I and many others did. Neither did I find videos….I thought something was weird then.
So then I sent the bodyspace admin a question and he sent me a response:

Yes, the people who didn’t follow the rules are out. In fact, all the preliminary rounds are now over, so we have our set of 30 semi-finalists already picked.
http://www.bodybuilding.com/ironman_…ch_winners.htm
Which means also that the voting is over (as of Jan. 2nd), and rounds #4 and 5 are the live rounds in L.A.
Thank you for participating - it was a great contest!

So, I was like ohhh okay…but why is that (Click here for the page) that none of the guys in Round 3 were nor removed for not following the rules?
Hey nothing against the people who got by without following the rules ( I really am not being sarcastic). It’s not your fault, it’s theirs.So, if I misunderstood something….let me know. Otherwise, even though this is not my site, I think bodyspace has failed it’s members in a small way.
Please don’t delete my account for this post…and people who may inadvertnely be involved in this…don’t send weird hate messages…you can send hate messages just not over the top.
Peace!

Excuse me sir…please do not walk around in the gym with an under Armour shirt on that looks as if it is two sizes two small on you. Also, sir please do not wear the shortest of shorts(What we use to call nut cutters) and walk around with really bad posture(He seriously was forming a hump) and acts as if you are the biggest baddest person in the gym. Clearly I am not…however there are others in here that I believe can take you. Ohhhh and sir can you please not take you shirt off while in the gym, turn around so everyone can you see and then turn back around to put your other really small shirt on before you go outside in the cold with your shorts on!!!!!!!!!!!!
As some say here in the south…sir we are going to have to put you on pause!
Disclaimer: I do understand that shirtless is the norm in some gyms…but this is a college gym and it has rules and one of them that is clearly stated at the door where this guy took his shirt off says "You must wear a shirt at all times".
Darn it people!!!!!!

So, I know some of you all get on this site almost everyday and know about the contest that bodybuilding.com host in conjunction with other sites. Well, after doing some pre-liminary research…bodybuilding.com has violated some of their own stated rules for contest. But, before I get on my box let me do some more investigating.
By the way, these blogs are being written in the interest of the bodyspacer or person visiting bodybuilding.com that embodies a total transformation marked by natural and articulated progression. In other words for the ’Joe the plumbers’.Holla.

This year, I am really trying to stay away from as many supplements as possible. The major reason? Cost…the other reason I am just a little hesitant about using stuff like that all the time. Besides? What did people back in the day do without all of these supplements?
Herein lies my question anybody have some good suggestions about burning fat without fat burners? Thanks in advance for your responses.

Recently, I have looked aroung the web at some bodybuilding shows and I still questions what is the fascination with bronzing? I mean you see some people so bronze that they look as if they should be a gold tin man on the wizard of oz. Some of the bronzing is messy and it’s all over the competition numbers and their underwear. Some people change a couple of shades when they bronze.
Several people I have seen…I couldn’t tell if they were black or white….it was like an exotic look?!?!?!?!? Is that what judges are looking for. I’m still learning folks…I though the shows where to recognize outstanding achievement in muscular development….is this also some slick muscle beauty pageant for men. Have you ever seen people who are considered ugly or someone who has not used this bronzing stuff win big time? If so, let me know…because that is the man I will put my vote behind for now.
Leave a comment folks…I really am trying to learn.

Excuse me ladies in the gym…I see you staring at me in the mirror…and by the way..thanks sending your friend over to ask if I was married..and thanks for the compliment…I really appreciate! Even though it was hit….it was nice to be complimented. So ladies, if you see a guy in the gym and you think he’s hot…let ‘em know! Then if he gets to crazy….there are plenty of other guys in the gym who are ready to release some of that testosterone on some mofo who won’t respect women! LOL!!!!
Happy lifting, happy new year everybody!

Every year a few things happen…we remember the old, those who have left us, life-changing event and for some reasons the history channel and discovery channel talks about how the world is going to end….aaannnnndddd people make new year’s resolutions. Every year, I get on here and reflect on what I will do in regards to bodybuilding this year. Every year, I never really make that goal. That’s sad…but won’t keep me from staying in the gym. Anyhow, I figure my goal this year will be to stay in the gym and be more consistent. If needs be..I will add more specific ones later. Peace out folks….welcome new bodyspacers and I am glad that yall are here for another year and another ride.
