Re: Sassy: July 2006 - 41 & BB Bound

Thx bg! My core strength is pretty decent - the stuff that requires a joint be involved at a weird angle gets to be an issue. That sucks. Normally my flys are strong, but my shoulders & elbows are taking a beating.

I'm thinking its also time to start changing up the training routine a bit. I've got 3 days of upper body, then 1 lower body. I'm ok if I do my rotator warm ups on all the upper body days, but for craps & giggles I did 2 sets of relatively light (assisted) pull ups and my right scapula is hating me again. Also time for a massage & adjustment as well. Might be on the agenda tomorrow. And generally more focus on cardio. The bodyfat is coming off, but its still slow. I friggen hate that.

Sprinting is tentative considerign its 2:45 and I'm still up. Just popped an Excedrin PM - not sure how well that will work or what state i'll be i when I wake up -- this stuff usually makes me fuzzy in the morning.

Once again on the road to competition. Another refocus back to BB as certain of my respected mentors admit to me that I am "not girlie enough" to do figure.... and I happened to be qualified for the NPC Master's Nationals this yr in July. So after exiting my last interesting position of employ I have more time to focus.

For ref, here's my last log where I was looking to do a figure show and my sporadic but most recent posts on my progress (or lack thereof):

http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4884697#post4884697

Been experimenting w/ a new training routine & for a week so I guess now is as good a time as any to start up for real. The diet has been very clean but a bit random, tomorrow starts the scheduled diet. I am including the caveat that I'm also job hunting & looking outside of my current locale so a large-scale move may impact my goals, or not.

Target show: NPC Masters Nationals (women's BB) ==> about 17 weeks out.
Date: July 22-23
Where: Pittsburgh

Other dates in the vicinity:
- NPC Southern States: July 14-15 (Ft. Lauderdale) - oh yea, I turn 41 this weekend too
- NPC Battle of Dixie: July 29 (Hoover, AL) -- this depends on where I live in 4 months....


Current stats:
bf ~20% (not formally measured yet)
Wt: 162 lb
(Height: 5'7")

Target stats (show day):
bf: 7-8%
wt: 135-140 -ish

Your stats are VERY similar to mine. I recently had someone tell me I have to "come down a bit" in order to do figure. My "sholders are too big". I have "too much muscle". Forget her!! But then other people told me I am completely fine.

IMO, if you want to do figure, do figure. I still am!!

Actually it was my last trainer who was trying to get me to do figure. I've done BB since 2000. The other purpose was to move away from the bulkiness required for BB and into somethign that was a nice exit point from competition and then maintain. But I also coudlnt' get down small enough in time. Then I just lost interest.

There are distinct differences between figure & bb- the obvious one is the physique, but the show itself --- I'm afraid I want to do more than just qtr turns in 5" heels. What I love about BB is the abilty to present your assets, show your personality on stage and put on a good show. That's just me.
