Well Masters meaning that you are past 35 you still keep up w/urself? and one of the judges dare tells me I didn't place higher because competing in Class A was just harder to compete w/the young ones that automatically have it? BS.. I do not have cellulitis as some at 25 do! I am 6% lean and wanted to tell him he needed to get in better shape himself! DORK!! but.. all good as long as I know I'm in shape and know to ignore stupidity from others.

they do work to some degree, normally have to follow some sort of protocol though for accuracey, i.e limit food and fluid intake, varies with each brand.

which method are you using?

Thankyou so much...I am exhausted I'll tell you honestly. This is a tough challenge for me.

Great question! I have reached a point where I am not progressing anymore using my own workouts. My trainer changed my diet and workouts to stimulate muscle growth. So far, I have been very sore...which leads me to believe hiring him was the best thing I could have done!!

Thank you! I have vowed to myself to never forget where I started or where I come from and to help anyone I can to the best of my ability. I remember how it was when I started, nobody helped me, I had to figure it all out on my own.

Thank you! No, at first i just wanted to lose weight and look good. Then i started to see some women taking it to the next level and it started to interest me. I did my research on it and finally committed to doing a show. I have since been hooked!

I bought those for a fitness model show and wore them once. Not like you can wear them in #Walmart, right?

Thank you for your comments on the article. We (the Captain and I) are very happy to be able to tell our story but we don't think of ourselves as anyone special We really want everyone to know that ANYONE can do it they just have to want to make the change such as yourself, you're ready to push that little bit hard and longer. Good luck

Except for showing off at a local student club fair, I've not sparred in ages, and when I last did against a competent opponent, I realized how rusty I'd already become from having long lost my best sparring partners (to graduation, fatherhood and similar nonsense). Do I miss it? HELL YES!!
