So you all remember the “Lesbian Crew” I talked about on Monday right? Well the tallest one of the bunch came into the gym again yesterday but her two friends couldn’t make it because they had to work. Monday was a holiday so they all decided to workout together since both of them were off and Sharon (The tallest one) was self employed and visiting.
Here’s some info about Sharon. She’s 5’11 and weighs about 190 or 195 with about 8% bodyfat. She lives in New Jersey but was born and raised in the Bronx (New York). Sharon use to compete between 1997 – 2003. Every year she competes she qualifies (wining 1st or 2nd) for the NPC Nationals but never goes because she prefers to compete in her local area. Bodybuilding was something to do and a good way to get sexy women! (Her words not mine) She owns a management and security company for well known exotic dancers who travel around the world. She’s also a personal trainer and co-owns a gym in Trenton, New Jersey with one of her brothers. She has a girlfriend in New York, one in Miami and another in Texas. She showed me pictures of these girls and they all were drop dead gorgeous!
Now you all are probably asking yourselves “How do I know all this stuff about this person?” Well let me tell ya! I’ve been spending countless hours with Sharon since I saw her in the gym yesterday morning.
Yesterday was biceps and triceps day. As soon as I reached for some dumbbells I heard that familiar deep female voice again. “What you working on today?” She asked
“Arms” I replied
“Cool! I’ll workout with you then”
Now I picked up a 25lb dumbbell and she reaches over and pick up 50lbs! She looks over at me and said “Isolations for 15 each arm” After that set we went up 5 pounds. She went to 55 and I went to 30lbs. We went for 15 reps again. For the third set she went to 60 lbs. I looked at her and said “I can’t do 15 reps with a 35!” So she told me to grab it anyway and give her ten. So I take the 35lbs and start to curl. When I got to ten she gives a big loud clap and yells “One more!” I curl the dumbbell one more time “Give me two more! You got it in you!” My biceps are burning like fire but I manage to curl two more reps thinking that will satisfy her but NOPE “Come on! One more and then you’re done!” So I look at her like she was crazy with sweat forming on my face and I mustered up the strength to do one more and while I’m lifting the barbells she says nonchalantly “Fourteen reps? Shit! You should go ahead and hit fifteen since you made it this far but if you’re the type of person who runs 14 miles just to stop at the finish line then drop those weights and quit.”
OMG!!!!!!!!! I WANTED TO CHOKE HER!!!!!!!!!!!
But you know what? I curled that f*cking weight for 15 reps. I felt so alive after that! She came over and pats me on the back while I was bent over heaving in air and said “Good job girl! I knew you could do it!” WHAT A RUSH! The rest of my workout went the same way and we met again today for round two (legs). Right now my arms and legs are soooooooooo sore!
The entire time I was with Sharon asking her a ton of questions. Then I found myself unloading all my thoughts, fears, frustrations and concerns on her. She patiently listened to every word I said and then offered feedback! We talked for hours. This is what I needed. I really needed to talk to someone and she was the perfect person to connect with.
We talked about everything related to bodybuilding including roids/HGH. Even though she admits to taking drugs she was dead set against me doing it and I set her mind at ease when I told her that I’m a naturalist and taking anything pharmaceutical was not an option for me……….EVER!
Since she’s in management she explained to me the business aspect of bodybuilding. We went to her hotel and she showed me the difference between a shady contract and a quality contract from photographers, fitness magazines, promoters and supplement companies. These were contracts offered to her during her bodybuilding phase. She made a copy of every contract given to her.
We talked about my goals in this industry and mapped out my entire bodybuilding career. She also agreed with Mr Thrasher about my limitations with female BBing in the NPC league. She said that as long as I stay on the local and natural level I’ll be OK but once I start moving up higher in the non-tested shows I won’t have a chance in hell beating women who juice. No way whatsoever. So we created a plan of action for the NPC and Natural Bodybuilding competitions. This plan will take effect immediately after my April 19th competition.
Speaking of competition Sharon wanted to look at my body so she told me to take off my clothes so she can look at me. “You just want to see me naked so you can have sex with me. I know how you butches work!” I said jokingly.
She laughed and said “If I wanted you I would have had you already so don’t worry yourself. I consider you like my little sister”
So while standing there in my bra and panties she takes a black marker and draws circles on my body.
She draws a circle on my left shoulder “Not symmetrical with your right shoulder” She then draws a circle on my lower abs “This area needs to be tighten too much loose skin here” She goes to my back, then my legs and finally draws the last circle on my calves. Every place that had a circle I had to write on a sheet of paper what needs to be improved in that area. I could barely write because my arms were still sore. We talked about those areas and what I need to do to improve them.
OH! You know what else she did that hooked me? She didn’t bat an eye or gave me a crazy ass look when I told her that I was a vegetarian. When I asked her about that she said that she knows lots of vegetarian bodybuilders and they all are ripped. She said that if you have good genetics you can eat bugs & berries and still build quality muscles. LOL!!!!!
I LOVE THIS CHICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To make a long story short I’ve been spending as much time as I could with Sharon. She’s a wealth of information and it feels good to have someone I can talk to who understands what I’m going through. She’s only in town until Thursday and then she’s heading back to New Jersey. I’ve been with her all day yesterday and all day today. She’s like a big sister I never had. Even though she’s butch to the bone she’s an awesome friend and I’m glad I met her.
You know? People come in your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Due to location and lifestyle choices Sharon will only be in my life for a season. At first I was disappointed about that but now I realize that I need to learn as much as I can from her while she’s still around. Who knows when an opportunity like this will be around again?
OK, I’m extremely tired so I’m going to bed early today. Sorry for the long post but I had to share all of this even though it’s only the tip of the ice berg.
Cya
PS – My posing suit still hasn’t come in the mail yet. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
