Getting closer to the Comp-14weeks out
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007My contest is now 14weeks away. I took a posing workshop with Nancy Georges on 8/11 and I feel MUCH better and MUCH more confident about my upcoming competition. It’s amazing how awesomely big your back looks when you learn how to pose correctly!
My strength is growing by leaps and bounds. I’m squatting 150lbs on Drop Sets, and can do individual quad extensions with 90lbs on each leg. I’m at 150 for seated ham curls.
Oh and don’t get me started on shoulders! I’m up to doing 25lb dumbbells for my single arm overhead press, and can do 35lbs in each had for double dumbbell overhead press. I need a spotter for the latter, but I can get a good 3-4 reps in without assistance.
So I know the strength gains are coming, my legs feel thicker and my back is wider. I’m excited for the cutting phase to really see those muscles pop through. It’s tough to be doing all this hard work and then not really being able to see the fruits of your labor except for the strength gains in the gym to tell you that you’re building muscle.
I just want to win!
