A friend needed a lifting partner. I volunteered and got hooked!
Why I Love It:
Why wouldn't I?
How I Stay Motivated:
Reading the 'bible' M&F and Oxygen, pictures of modern-day fitness icons like Monica Brant, Susie Curry, Laura Mak, Gunter Schlierkamp, Jay Cutler, Toney Freeman and Ronnie Coleman.
BB Accomplishments:
None as far as competition goes, but I can say I got starstruck by Laura Mak and Tanji Johnson at the Boise FitExpo and I had dinner with Brad and Mary Hollibaugh--(cute kids by the way, guys; you two are awesome!)
Forum Signature:
Practice being what you want to become because practice makes perfect!!
After a couple of light warm up sets, I move into barbell curls, cable/rope curls, concentration curls and incline dumbell curls. I perform these as a Giant Set and take a good 3-5 minute rest between 3-5 sets. The pump is amazing! I just try to utilize different positions and DB,BB,cable exercises every workout. If I'm not using Giant Sets, I will complete the entire workout and then start from the beginning and do one last LIGHT set to failure of each exercise with little rest.After a couple of light warm up sets, I move into barbell curls, cable/rope curls, concentration curls and incline dumbell curls.

Well, after I got past the fact that I can't lift as much because of the baby, I tried modifying my exercises. I actually find that I get totally discouraged as though my progress is stunted. Too much cardio and I feel the vericose veins encroaching like vermin. Too much weight training...
Starting 5 days ago I started a routine that looks like this:
One body part a day on a 3 0n/1 0ff split i.e. Mon. legs, Tue. Back, Wed. Shoulders, Thurs. OFF, Fri. Chest, Sat. Bis, Sun. Tris, Mon. OFF, Tues. Legs etc.
I do 5-7 exercises per bodypart at 7-10 reps while keeping my journal...
hey stranger! how are you doing? Wow it has been a while! i hope you are doing amazing and maybe one of these talk to you and get caught! I hope all is well!!
Hey Gennice, been a while since I talked to you. Looks like you've added a bunch of friends to your profile and babies to your familiy since then. Congratulations on all fronts! Still in great shape I see, stay with it.
hey hun! how are things going? Are you working out hard? I am liking the progress pics...you will get back there in NO time! What is new...get me updated!
I think most girls would kill to look like you period, after having 4 kids and to be in that shape is great you should be proud. Good luck with your goals
