too busy today to do the full update bonanza.... will get back on that tip on the morrow. Trained with 'the boys' again tonight. Whoa. Gonna tear me up.
Back Attack:
Four sets Smith bent over rows: all for 12 reps, 2 plates/side, 2, 3, 3. Ouch.
Three Sets Palms facing DB Rows, interesting style- both db's at the same time, rotating hands from perp to parallel, VERY long reach row. really hammered the shiat outta lower lats and rhomboids, major fore arm screamage, three sets of 12: 50s, 60s, 65s
One arm rows on plate loaded machine: 12 reps each, 2 plates, three plates, four plates, then drop set three plates for 6, 2 plates for 12, 1 plate for 15. Ouch part Deux.
VERY wide grip lat pulls, very long reach and statics at bottom 'just to stretch out' : all for 12, 110, 130, 140, 150
very tough anaerobic slamming. drenched. good workout and esp. nasty on fore arms. yikes.

Buns: incoming on Cholorphyl.
Sass: definite difference in the whole acetone stank reduction when using the Triple Cholorphyl tabs i got from GNC... do you prefer a specific brand over another?
Those are exactly the ones I use! Its bad enough I'm the sweatiest SOB in my gym, but I don't need to be the stinkiest....
This is the most wonderful thing I could read ...Ghede said:Greate workout today, great time house hunting, great weather, great work day, great time with my wonderful wife....

Looking forward to the beastly gnarly'ish-es-ness of monster leg day
ok. so any reports that i was abducted by aliens are way off base...
BodyRock was very cool, Badgergirl looked great, S. my coworker/buddy did not place but also had a really good time and is pickin' it up again at a show in Delaware next satruday.
CONGRATS in huge way to all the folks that competed, and to my boy B. that placed in the Supers. A good time and a nicely run show all around... the figure in NPC has gotten WAY too soft in criteria as far as i am concerned, and a number of the girls up there looked like they got by on genetics alone: i am NOT cool with that ONE BIT!
They should, no, MUST look like athletes, damnit! not a friggin bikini contest!
I am going to go back on my original thoughts and start suggesting Womens BB as the choice of my clients that are serious competitive atheletes.... I am not in any way negating the level of work that goes into figure, dont get me wrong, but the fact is that a LOT of those girls at this NPC show were up there very, VERY soft. Frankly, things should NOT jiggle like that and yes, i DO think your full abdominal structure should more than just 'hinted' at... some of the women really had NO seperation in abs at all: and they placed!!! go figure.
HUGE props to all who really applied themselves to effort. You were all winners in huge way.
As for me? Hmmm.... every time i see a show, i wonder, if 'he' can place in the Heavy's, shit, so can I... i wonder...

Just a thought on "soft" in figure competitions - I was at the Jr Nationals & didn't see anything that looked "soft" - although my girl from ATL was solid and she didn't even place. Its a very weird competition. In Cananda, the figure girls are getting bigger & bigger --- that's going to get weird too I think -- here's an example:

I think Bodyrock has a history of being softer as well -- I would really have to say KNOW YOUR SHOW --- look at the pix from the previous year, talk to the judges if possible because the goals also seem to change every year - but it is very different from show to show as well.
