80 more Days til Competition

Day 80 started out with early morning cardio for 45 minutes. I was struggling a bit since my legs were so sore from Mondays workout.... 20 rep back squats and lying hamstring curls. Mondays workout kicked my butt. Today there was a few cancellations so I started to look for a place to live. Pretty hard having a dog but everything should workout. My workout this afternoon was intense again with 20 reps of everything. Trying to keep a high intensity and pace during workout. Always moving and no rest between exercises, weighted abs after each exercise and then onto the next butt kicking exercise. After I was done lifting weights I proceeded to complete 20 minutes of steady state cardio on the tread mill. Walking incline and then finished with running. I'm trying to burn as many calories and deplete all my glycogen stores in my body in order to keep the pace of 2lbs of weight loss a week. One more day and then I get to eat some carbs.... Friday is always a great day in respect to my diet!!!!

Canadian Bodybuilding Championships

Canadian National Bodybuilding Championships- North Vancouver. Let me just say this weekend was unbelievable. These athletes, male and female were so lean and had so much muscle it was so crazy to watch but so motivating. The women at this show were so big that it was hard to actually believe they were women. On stage they looked so big but once you get up close to them they don’t look as big as they looked on stage but they had absolutely no body fat on them what so ever. The female body builder who won her category and the overall, was amazingly the most feminine on the stage. Even up close she still looked more female than most of the other women. I took tons of pics and video for all you to see. It was really interesting to look at how all the men and women posed and get different ideas so I can design my routine. Now that I’m home I’m training hard and getting ready to get on that stage Nov 14. I’ve changed up my workouts in hopes to lose a average 1-2lbs a week. 81 days left its time to get serious and start getting lean!!!

Canadian Fitness & Figure Championships

This past weekend I went and watched the Canadian Figure and Fitness National Championships in New Westminister,BC. All the top Athletes from each province were at the Massey theatre to compete for their hopes to win a pro Card (IFBB pro card). The girls at this show were rock solid and fit and very well conditioned unlike anything I’ve seen before. A few of the girls were absolutely huge. Much to their surprise the judges were not looking for an overly manly woman. The fitness portion of the competition was by far the best part. These women are so strong, one handed push ups, back flips, front flips, hand stand push ups, to hand stand push up hops, stalls and break dancing like moves, Just unbelievable. The weekend was a great experience to see how these women held themselves in their poses. I learned about posing and hope to put that to practice to my upcoming show Nov 14, Sandra Wickham.
