90 days to go… i’m Bringin Sexy back…. or am i?!
Just had my first real “posing” experience… apparently I did pretty well, and that was very encouraging since I don’t give myself many pats on the back. Quarter turns aren’t all that compicated… it actually reminded me of ballet (which was probably 10 times worse)… stand tall, in uncomfortable shoes, suck everything in, try not to fall and look graceful at the same time. As long as there are no pirouettes involved, I think I’ll do just fine. On that note.. thank god I’m not doing bodybuilding… I don’t think I could impovise a lat spread if my life depended on it…. you see, my lats… they don’t spread. Actually they don’t do much… which brings me to my next point.
I still need to sprout some lats… to balance out my lower body. Yes, I do pullups, and the ones with the really wide grip… and every variation of the exercise humanly possible. Yes, I do a lot of them. No… my latissimus dorsi are simply not cooperating. Here I go and assign the blame: my mother gave me the ballerina gene…. my father gave me the brain gene… I guess you really can’t have it all.

What you may need for some lat width is, try doing some lat pull downs, followed by seated rows (wide) and then pull ups….. make sure you squeeze and stretch at the bottom and top of the movement….. believe me. you’ll feel and see a diiference……

So much easier said than done… I guess it’s something that will take me time. I want instant results… SO not going to happen, but at least I realize it… i’ll try what you’re saying… a new routine is always better than an old one…
