fighting40’s BodyBlog

I am pleased and surprised by the support of the people on BodySpace.  It is motivating to read the positive comments provided in the short time since I put up my profile.  I am glad to know that there are lots of others who are setting goals and struggling to achieve them.  I assume everyone has their own reasons for trying to make changes, and the best part about this website is that regardless of "why", there are lots of people excited to share the "how" and provide that much needed mental boost.  Good luck to all in pursuit of your desires.

Just trying to kick this thing off.  I guess I will start using this thing like a journal until I get the hang of it.  The biggest thing on my mind right now is the tenderness in my right shoulder.  It is not muscle, but that makes me even more nervous.  I have been doing shoulder work and chest work unilatterally (just my left) until it starts feeling a bit better.  I worry that it will hinder my attempt to gain a few pounds before the Aug 11 show I am interested in.  I liked how ripped I was at the Vancouver show, but I still look way too skinny.  I know there are no magic gains waiting for me, so a couple of pounds every 6 months or so is what I am working toward.  One thing I learned from the last show is I need to practice my posing a bit more.  I couldn’t believe how nervous I was up there and it made my poses look too stiff.  A couple of pounds and better stage presence are my goals for the next show.
