Re: Sassy: July 2006 - 41 & BB Bound

Its part of the diet - interestingly when u just have it as part of the recipe, that's all I use. NOt even a problem.

...and there is my point... Just making sure you are focused... and you are pretty lady ... carry on ...

Not even remotely. There's an amazing mindset that happens at 12 weeks out...

30 April 2006 (Sun) -- low day!

11 am - 1 hr deep tissue massage + adjustment -- right lat was completely hosed so got that fixed.

1:30 pm - 1 hr yoga
20 min posing - got my lat spread "verified" - hard to see your own back so I had one of the local BBs check it for me. Checks out!

LOL --- ok, here's what I think happened - I have a rotator cuff problem on my right side and I've jacked up my weights this week but forgot to do my rotator cuff warm-ups prior to starting my shoulder / delt giant sets. So I think just in general my whole right lat was engaged trying to compensate for the sore rotator on that side. Therefore it just got overtrained & generally aggravated. So the massage therapist pounded on it for an hr to break up all the knots and sort of push things back into place. Then the chiro did an adjustment to get everything realigned.

The lat spread -- meaning the mandatory BB pose - front / rear lat spread -- looking at my pix from my show last yr, my lat spread sucked. It's not a pose I'm comfortable doing because it is just an awkward pose. I've started my posing practice and also want to really leverage the conditioning aspect of it so I want to get all of it correct now so I can really get comfortable doing it in a mandatory round or as part of a posign routine. I think if you rush it, its easy to have it turn out stupid looking, so I can't afford to do that.

Anyway, I had one of the former competitors at my gym check my execution of the pose & he said it was good. Since I can't see how it looks unless I videotape myself, I needed some expert feedback

no usps conf.

Goofball.

Sounds like fun... I have a girl I'm working with now her rotator is always screwed up after she does her shoulder day. It was getting so bad the pain was radiating down the front of her arm. I found the same thing with the lat being overly used. As soon as I got my fingers in it, she was about off the table. A nice golf ball size knot in there.
I start my posing this week. Fun stuff!!!

I'm loving posing -- really happy my lat spread looks right and the rest of it is 2nd nature after last yr. Still working thru some songs to arrive at my posing music & a routine, but no rush there. Now the focus is 1) fat loss (read: cardio & diet) and 2) keeping all the aches & pains in check.
