Hallo hallo! It’s my official “off season” and I am BUILDING! I have been eating lotsa cals, lotsa carbs, lifting heavy, and feeling STRONG! I want every figure competitor’s dream of great quads, nice glutes, capped shoulders, wide lats, narrow waist, nice calves, all that!! I am really motivated to use true STRENGTH as the foundation of my hypertrophy. I want to LIFT heavier and BE STRONGER. Yes, the most important thing is the aesthetics, but I am very interested in ACTUALLY increasing my strength, especially in my legs. It’s a fun challenge for me.
I don’t know if I would necessarily call not being on a strict diet “joyful” but I have definitely been living it up. But every day I’m back in the gym tearing it up! So this has been spectacular for my building.
Since the last show, I have experimented with different recipes. I seriously meant to create blog entries for each and every one but :::cough cough::: I’m a delinquent.

As many of us figure competitors do…I’ve been dreaming/preparing for the next show(s). That’s why I’m so focused on muscle building. In the last shows, I lost a lot of muscle and my ass DISAPPEARED! So I want to make sure I have big full muscles so that even if I experience atrophy, I will still have plenty of muscle to reveal 🙂 *SO* for now my focus is BUILDING, and then I plan to start dieting after Christmas for my spring/summer show season:
(tentative schedule)
NPC Governor’s Cup in Sacramento on March 24, 2012
WBFF Fitness Atlantic in Connecticut on April 21, 2012
WBFF show in California- date not yet released, probably in the summer
That’s the update for now!
Here is a quote I found on Facebook today and would like to share:
Why complicate life?
Miss somebody? Call.
Wanna meet? Invite.
Wanna be understood? Explain.
… Have questions? Ask.
Don’t like it ? Say it.
Like it ? State it.
Want something? Ask for it.
Nobody will know what’s going in your mind. Its better to express rather than to expect.
If you already have the ‘No’, take the risk of getting the ‘Yes’.
Wanna meet? Invite.
Wanna be understood? Explain.
We just have one life. Keep it simple. LIVE IT & Be happy &… 🙂
