NPC - USAs Bikini Review

July 28, 2012
WTF!!!! Is all I can say about this. I was not there in person but I did follow all the forums and looked at all the pictures, twitter postings and facebook postings and all I can say is that some of these girls are going to ruin this sport for the entire group as a whole. There were girls up there with little covering their ass, which isn't really a problem b/c the suits are made that way but how you pose is when you only have a small piece of cloth covering up your private areas. COME ON!  Might as well put a stripper pole out there and let you just take it all off. Really?!?!?  Is trying to win so important that half of these girls would be willing to sacrifice their class??? Ugh! it disgust me. I haven't been able to qualify ye,t but I also haven't competed in a show where I can. I am currently 1 week out from a qualifying show and 2 weeks out from another and I feel some of these chicks are going to ruin this sport for the rest of us. I vow never to give up my classiness for a trophy, right here and now!!!!!

America's Health

July 27, 2012
America has a weight problem.....I should actually rephrase that and so should the media.....America has a health problem. This society does not eat properly nor does it get enough exercise and rest, I might add. Health care cost are rising, not only for the work force but retirees as well and many aren't preparing for this. So think for a minute, how much medication are you on. If you are healthy probably none to 1, if not probably 4-6 if not more, and that is quite sad in my opinion. There ...

Spot Reduction - NOT!

July 24, 2012
I rarely go into the ladies area at my gym unless it is to practice my posing so yesterday out of curiousity I wandered through the ladies area just to see if anything had changed in there lately. As usual everything was the same and absolutely nothing had changed. They still have the 2-3 lb dumbbells and there was that thigh toner machine that is NEVER used and for good reason. It was looking at this machine that made me think, ugh not another spot reducing concept.  I just want to make it c...

Be Polite

July 22, 2012
Ladies and Gentlemen I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a good reputation in and out of the gym. Be polite and courteous, even if stupid people do things that piss you off, because someone is always watching. If you are in the gym share your equipment, offer to assist or spot and be open to questions if people are interested in your training and/or nutrition.  If you are a dick people WILL notice and whenever you do good they will not be happy for you and most will wonder why ...

Take a Break!

July 21, 2012
How are you feeling? 
Exhausted
Sleepy all the time
Not sleeping at all
Body weak and constantly sore
Falling or tripping A LOT
Feel like crap everyday

Well if you answered yes to at least 4 of these then you could possibly be overtraining. Overtraining is simply exceeding your recovery capacity. I know this very well, I've experienced it twice in my life and let me tell you, YOU do not want to do this. It is one of the most horrible feelings I've ever had. Here is a great example, it's like walking...

Excuses

July 20, 2012
We all make them, use them as well as hear them from other people every day, but when do you say enough is enough.***DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER*** I'm about to rant so if you don't want to hear a lot of bitching please stop reading this now! 

 I'm so tired of seeing people complain about their weight and bad health but then make excuses about it. Just yesterday I heard it, I won't say any names but I heard "I was in a hurry and had to grab some fast food and I got a burger." Damn! Really! You coul...

Talk About A Boner

July 16, 2012
Hey get your mind out of the gutter. I'm talking to you! Specifically the women out there. Why women? You ask....well it's because over 80% of people with osteoporosis are women. A little sexist but it is what it is. Women have smaller, and thinner bones than men; estrogen usually protects bones in women but around menopause, estrogen levels dramatically drop putting women at a very high risk of developing osteoporosis. To try to prevent this and build up your bone density you need to ingest ...

The # On The Scale

July 15, 2012
When I was young I saw my mom constantly trying to find new, better, and faster ways to lose weight. She would see weight loss pills in stores and buy them like candy. Take the green pill to quickly lose 10lbs, then take the red pill to keep it off. The side effects were always crazy....abdominal pain, jitters, headache....need I go on! Are you kidding me? I don't even have a smart-ass response for all this crap. A person willing to make themselves violently ill to lose a couple of pounds, ug...

Be You

July 12, 2012
Be who you are and say what you feel cause those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind - Dr. Seuss - 

Whenever I feel in need of guidance I always go look at some Dr. Seuss quotes because no matter how old you get they always make the most sense. I have always been myself but there have been times in my life where I've felt that I might need to suppress who I really am. I know there is a time and place for everything so I may not let my true colors show, well at least all of th...
