The View from the Classroom

I feel like I’m embarking on the second leg of my bodybuilding journey.  My first contest is past me.  I’ve decided to give it another go, but not too soon.  I need to really work on some things…pump up the upper body to give it some "fullness" that I need to balance out what seem to me to be massive hips and at the same time, take the fat off those massive child-bearing things that genetics so kindly gave me (I think it’s the offsetting genetic gift of decent abs).  Anyway, two goals that seem a little contradictory.  If not impossible, challenging for sure. 

So…the plan…find a trainer with competition prep experience who understands my goals and can customize a plan of action to help get me there.  Done!  At the recommendation of a fellow bodyspace member, I found one.  A local guy.  Met with him yesterday after sending him background info and pics.  He seems to understand and be up for the challenge.  Even holds posing classes regulary for his women clients which is something that I also need to work on.  Affordable too.

Needless to say, I’m excited at the prospect of working with this guy.  I can’t wait to really get started and I have total faith that I will get to where I see myself in my vision.  I am typically the type of person that does things on my own…independent… do it my own way, etc.  I like trial and error, experimenting to figure out what works and what doesn’t, doing a little research to see what has worked for others, etc., but, this time around, I decided I want some help.  I think sometimes, we just need to admit, we need a little guidance from others more knowledgeable.  It can shorten the distance between where we are and where we want to be.
