How many reps per set do you usually do? Why?
Phase1 of my HvH program is usually 15-20 reps per set... to condition and get the muscular endurance up. Phase2 of my HvH program is 4-12 reps to get the strength and mass up.
- Updated Jul 4, 2008 1:33pm

How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?
Phase1 of HvH - hardly any rest at all... again trying to force adaptation, work the endurance, and bring cardio levels up. Phase2 of HvH - a lot more rest as trying to push more weight
- Updated Jul 4, 2008 1:33pm

What celebrity body would you most like to have? Why?
When I was a pro wrestler... Chris Benoit. Overall in BBing I like the look of Darrem Charles or Kevin Levrone as they hold mass and have good proportioning/detail.

Aww, well I guess if there ever was a reason to put competing on hold, that'd be it! Sooo happy for you! And that's great that your friend is competing in fitness too! I wish more girls would get into it, but I can understand why they're all flocking to figure - it's far less demanding on the body. I mean, when you consider how many years I've done gymnastics (since age 6) I'm an old lady by the sport's standards now! Haha!
