Breast Enhancement in Detail - Short1's Surgery on Friday, August 11.

[Sassy69]

My chest is my lagging body part - I plan on training it again when I'm all healed up. I find bench pressing uncomfortable, and I struggle with it. 115 is my best. However, I can dumbell press more. I prefer the dumbell press over the bench press by far. Better range of motion - and it just feels better.

I'm seriously thinking of competing next year, but it scares the hell out of me. I know I'd need a trainer, or someone to help me because I have no idea what I'm up against. I also don't really know what to compete in. I have a big tattoo on my back that can't be covered up, and I feel I'm not cut out for figure. I'd like to compete in body building, but I don't know what class...

I wouldn't worry about the tattoo - there is stuff to cover it up if you feel its necessary. Otherwise, its fairly common these days. As far as weight class, at your height because you don't have bulk like a powerlift I'm gonna say easy lightweight. I personally think you'd find figure to be zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. For BB, just go find some shows locally & see what the girls look like, how many compete, etc. Talk to them, talk to people at the shows, ask questoins and just get a feel for it. Go from there. Probably NPC is where you will end up competing just because it is the most common federation. I'm not familiar with AZ's competitive atmosphere, but see if you can catch any of the shows before the season ends and just see what its like.

^^^ Ditto... cept for 115... i got you on that... 117 & 3/4 (jk...kinda )

Until I figured out how FUKT my form was for BB Bench I stuck with DB's... Once i learned to tuck my elbows real good and keep my back tight... BB bench felt great and my shoulders have NOT bothered me one bit since.

... not about boobs, but I hope it helps a lil' bit

Girl, no reason to be afraid, you know how many of us will be rooting for you, either in person or virtually! You've have the Girls Forum AND C&C cheering you on

I've searched online for AZ bb info - there's hardly any. I find California contests up the wazoo, but found only 1 website promoting an AZ show. Apparently, we Arizonians haven't come out of the information stone age yet.

Hi Shorty! You have a great time with those new boobs! I had mine done in December 1999, as a gift for the millenium...great change, I had a horrible caved in look, I wen't way smaller than you but I am only 5'4 and shrinking as I type...LOL...I have small shoulder with ribcage and all I think for me It was a good size, and I am happy about the results...I know you will be too! If you do jog, or hop around or do anything that has gravity pulling more, I do recomend you wear double or at least one really tight sports bra.You acnnot defy gravity, and those pulls you feel have never gone away in me. If I train chest a bit harder it hurts or feels like I have a lump in the scar area...so basically I do Flyes for chest with 10 lb DB...just to keep area tight and looking good!
Like Al Pacino says in the Devils Advocate....Vanity is my favorite sin...Ja ja.
Be good! What is Jeff's side of the story????

boobs update.


I was pretty sore last night. Shooting pain in my left breast when I move a certain way. lolol. Actually, I was adjusting my underwear and that's how the pain started, so reaching behind me hurts on the left side.

We went to PF Changs for dinner. MMmmmmmm. Victorias Secret is in the same shopping center, so I had the nice girl measure me. 36D. Actually, I'm between a 34 and a 36, but went for the higher size because it was more comfortable. Once the swelling goes down, I'll probably be a nice full C cup.

Anyway, VS makes a great no-wire bra. SO comfortable. IPEX wireless bra. oi. It feels good. I bought 2 - white and black - to get me through. Sadly, I was not in the mood to browse, or I'd have probably bought some undies, too. I was hurting, so we cambe back to the room and I got a hot shower. Took a pain pill, a muscle relaxer, and 2 Benedryl. (The clinic told me to take them for sleep - they WORK.)

Jeff bought a good percussion massager from The Sharper Image Store. It was next to PF Changs. That thing works wonders. Holy . He did my back with it and I felt like jelly. oi.

I have my follow up appointment tomorrow at 8am. How long until they take the stitches out? Anyone?





Today I'm going to finish my book and have a nap. Jeff is meeting with some clients so we can bid a new job. I have the room to myself. Tonight, we'll go out for dinner and do some shopping. None of my shirts fit.
