Sassy69 said:..Sprints tomorrow... HAVE to do them early before it hits 90 degrees![]()

Sassy69 said:PWNED BY THE TRACK...
Its Sunday & the gates were closed. 45 min on the home Precor instead.
Sassy69 said:It finally worked! Up at 7:45![]()
Sassy69 said:Got an interesting wake-up call this morning --- (not a phone call) --- I put on my uber cushioned Nike SHOXXXX today- the kind that have the springy looking things all the way across the bottom instead of just on the heel- the $$$$ ones - to go run on the track because my feet were sooo freekin' sore after the last adventure in sprinting - particularly the balls of my feet. So I used those on my Precor when I realized the track wasn't available today - goddamm my feet were sore because the tennis shoes are a bit narrow -- most Nikes do that to me - but it was mega ache w/in 4 minutes - that is not good for a scheduled 45 min cardio session.
Basically I need some good running shoes - so I'm off to see what I can find on a budget....

)Make sure to stretch them and do some light massage on the muscles. I started getting those and if you can stretch the muscle then you can prevent the splints. Especially after every sprint day you run since the muscle is already warm.Sassy69 said:22 May 2006 (Mon)

Did you pick your shoes based on your foot type??
Few questions... I have been looking at competition shoes... I have long legs... What would you recommend heel height, and what look? Should I get one with an ankle strap to cut up the length?

Sassy69 said:My predisposition towards shinsplints dates back to jr high track so I'm prone, one way or another.
The shoes were chosen based on arch support & cushion -- the 'best' option had a design that cut into the top of my foot when I went up on my toes, so I went w/ this - the next down w/o getting nutty on the price. I've already got at least as many tennis shoes as I do dress shoes now.
The shoes you need are the 5" lucite ones w/ the very low bottom (no stacks). I personally don't like the strap shoes - it does exactly that - it cuts the line of your leg. Why would you want to do that? They group you by height so if your long line is chopped short and you are next to someone just as tall or taller than you, what does that get you? I also find them distracting - but it depends on how comfortable you are walking in them as well. If the slides don't fit right, they clunk when you walk. I personally prefer the slides- but I need a strap high on my foot or they won't stay on.
Here are the usual ones you see:

Check ebay for prices as well.

... The link you gave me is distasteful so I'll view it when I get home lol... completley understand what you mean.... with the leather seats, and damn ppl in the way, and the "big girls."Sassy69 said:I am SOOO soaked by the time I finish that stuff I have to bring an extra towel so I can drive home & not destroy my leather seats
Anyway --
- July 21 - NPC Teen, Collegiate & Masters Nationals / Pittsburgh
Playing it by ear - bodyfat is going to be an issue this year. Also concerned about weight because last yr I came in just inside the Light Heavy wt class limit at 139. If I go over 140 lb, then I have to go into the Heavy wt category -- that's 140 lb + -- that leaves it wide open for all the mega monster girls. I'm already avg 3" taller than most of the girls in the LtHvy wt category but not as thick. I"m not interested in getting any thicker to compete w/ the big girls. Blah... LOL!
Yeah I had black leather seats in my black mustang convertible living in the dessert! Talk about hot, sweaty, and icky!!!sgtslaughter said:lol... completley understand what you mean.... with the leather seats, and damn ppl in the way, and the "big girls."

Good points... I just figured my legs were so long that I would look like a little body on stilts. O.k. 5 inches here I come.. That will make me 6'0" 1/4 inches tall.Guys think I am tall now... whoohoo just wait!

Yeah mine will be loads of fun too, I'm sure*Bunny* said:I just bought a pair of those for fun![]()

did you say something about a place to rest our drinks? what? lolSassy69 said:I had a pair of those shoes except w/ the 3" stack on the bottom as well. I'm already taller than most of the guys I train w/, work with, etc. Now that I pump to a 16" bicep, I also am bigger than most of the guys I know. I dont' think I need further help.
... although I own 3 pairs of those lucite jobs and several stack shoes of similar height from my clubbing days.
... not to say those days are over yet....

ha ha... I get dibs on the hot tall muscular guy... The HAWT one... Haven't met him yet but I'm sure he'll be thereSassy69 said:Pretty much. But ALL the guys are short, who the hell are you talkign to while the short guys are there as beer stands for the tall chicks???
Some of us need some "action" hun![]()
15 reps you have a strong chest girlie! What is your tut on these?Sassy69 said:- Hammer strength iso-incline press: 45/15 55/15 45/15 -- nice nice burn on these
Sassy69 said: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
QUOTE]
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.

scorpiogirl said:Hmmmmm....how long did it take Cory Everson to drop down? I remember in the 90's she was BB all the way. Saw a pic of her not too long ago and she's more figure/fitness now. I was a little shocked to see how much she'd lost.
Holy shitness! HUGE difference!Sassy69 said:I think Cory got out before FBB got really freaky. If you want to see a really dramatic change, take a look at Kim Chizevsky.

Sassy69 said:Blah - I can't find any pix of her in Figure. But yea - she's pretty wild.
