[Dryvrgrl]

soooo... hows everyone doing?

well... we are three weeks out Ladies!! I thought Id make a place for us to shoot the PooPoo.. discuss anything about the show.. plan out where we are all meeting up for the First Official Girls Of CanadaBodybuilding.com Picture and such!! ;)

I'll be getting to Toronto on Thurs afternoon.. but not checking into hotel until friday (host hotel) then staying there friday and sat... and Leaving toronto on Tuesday...
I'm trying to figure out a "roll call" sooo.. we have AngeD in figures(*med tall?), and 69 in figures (short?)and Moi in fitness (I think short)...

ummm there's a girl who posted on here somewhere about doing bikini... I dont want to miss anyone!
Melody Spetko (member) is doing Masters BB

who else we got??

[69challenger]

Funny...I was thinking of starting a thread here just this morning...you beat me to it! I'm doing master's figure (not short).

How are you feeling DG? Almost there!!

[Dryvrgrl]

GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE!!! (fools seldom differ... lol)

Fitness Masters! ok.. are you excited? getting excited?ready?.. you look smokin hot! lol

Im doing good... on track I think .. He kept me REALLY full, now Im stripping it down... tried to grow a few parts... pretty sure ill come in a little thicker than provincials... Suit is done... routine is tweaked, hair and makeup secured... all good!
Word on the street (ok ok its from my MABBA rep) there are TEN women registered already in fitness short.. eeep.. Im the only one who has no National experience..

Soo... are you down to maybe getting a CBB.COM pic done?

[69challenger]

^^^sounds like everything is on track:) I have no idea how many girls will be in my catagory....don't really want to know...lol! My goal is to come in a little tighter than I did in June...so far, so good. I'm SOOOOO excited about stepping on the National stage. It's a first for me as well!

Absolutely got to get a CBB pic! We should arrange a time and place so that everyone from CBB can get together for a shot..

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Zara Pineda-Boorder (http://www.canadabodybuilding.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17509) will be doing the bikini class as she mentioned in the other thread.

BTW, it looks like I'll be making you ladies a profile on the site in a few weeks :)

[Dryvrgrl]

Thanks MP!!

what do you think 69... at prejudging? I dont have a schedule for the show yet... but usually fitness is kinda stupid because after physique round, I have to start warmning up routine... mind you, its a big show so there should be time in there...

[ange_d]

Yep, I will be there, Figure Med Tall.
It is my first time on the Nat stage as well.

Everything is right on track for me...I will be posting new pic's in my journal tomorrow am. I am so excited and pumped for this show. More than I have ever been for a show (I guess that only makes sense, it is Nationals after all!). I have been dreaming of this since my first competition way back in 2004! I sometimes even get emotional about it...the past couple days random people at my gym (from ages 20 to 80, and all different fitness levels) have been telling me what an inspiration I am to them. This is the best of the best compliments I can ever imagine getting!

For sure us CBB ladies should get a photo together!
Just let me know when and where.
I am looking forward to meeting you all!

3 weeks, the count down has begun...

[69challenger]

Looking forward to meeting you too Ange:)
I have a question for you....for the "quarter turn to the side", is the required pose with the arms to the side (as we did at the provincials) or is it one arm front, one back with a slight twist in the wasit? Looking at pics from past years, this is the side stance that was used...I checked the CBBF site and can't find the info anywhere...

Great question...I am not sure. I too checked out last years pics and saw the same thing as you. I also checked out other provinces provincials and most still do the twisted waist pose. My guess is that they will tell us to stand with our arms to the side but I may be wrong. This is how the pro's do it and IMO it looks way better. Even when they tell us to stand with arms to the side you can get away with a putting your back shoulder a little farther ahead than your front one. This makes everyone look better. Here is a pic from the Jacksonville pro show this past weekend. How Ava (far left) and the winner (3rd from left) stand...to me this is a perfect side pose.


I guess we will have to wait until the meeting Fri night to find out for sure. Or you could always contact Melanie Horton if you want to be sure ahead of time.

[69challenger]

That was some show ysterday, wasn't it? I too like the side pose above but I've not seen anyone do it here. I'm going to contact Melanie and see what she says...I'll keep you posted.

[Dryvrgrl]

Please ask about fitness too!

[69challenger]

From Chief Judging Official, Debbie Karpenko:

"At CBBF events competitors will not be asked to keep there arms at their sides for the quarter turns. Quarter turns for figure and fitness will be performed the same.

One arm slightly extended forward with the shoulder slightly extended upward tilting forward and the other arm slightly bent at the elbow extended back past the hip."

Thats is basically a bodybuilding quarter turn, which I hink they should move past to separate figure from bodybuilding even more.

I find that way to be less feminine than what they seem to be doing in the pro shows now. I'm sure this will be one of the last if not the last year cbbf does it this way. At the Ontario provincials the girls were instructed to have arms at the side. A few other provinces do it this way and I think that is the direction they are eventually going in.

Thanks for this!
I wish it were not so, but I was prepared for either way.

[Miss Silly]

Hey ladies. I'm in too---if all this cardio doesn't kill me LOL. I'm a bit behind schedule so i'm praying to the physique gods that everything will come together.

Dryvrgrl (yay fitness!!)---i see you have a sleeve. Do you cover it up for comp? I have a significant amount of ink down one side of my body (new since the last time i competed in 2008).

My concern for this show however is that it's going to be a LONG pre-judging show, given the amount of categories LOL. This time i'll remember to bring enough food backstage so i don't have to beg/borrow/steal cashews from friends.

[CC79]

Well I will be there to with 69Challenger to help out so I can certainly take photos and help where needed .............you girls are gonna to kick ass and I will be there to cheer you all on!

Hello Silly!
what are you competing in? which class?

I do NOT cover my tattoos... they are part of me, however, the makeup ladies are offering a tattoo coverup service!

I'm fitness tall :-)

I definitely see what you're saying about the tattoos being a part of you. I feel the same way. Then i'm also worried that since it's such a large section.... I was thinking about attempting to cover some of them up, but not all. If it works LOL i wonder how much will rub off after routine? LOL. After this year though, i likely wont' cover them up again ;-P

I see so many BBrs with large tattoos but it's not often you see it in fitness/figure. I get excited when i see ladies like yourself with a decent amount of ink ;-P

How are you doing? I'm alternating between excitement and panic LOL

Hello! Yes, I'm going to be competing in Bikini Short. Can't wait to be on stage again. I'm not on here that often, but I do look forward to seeing the lady competitors from CBB at the Nationals! :) I'd be in for a CBB photo too!

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Moved this here so it'll get more exposure and want to get in some of the masters men to post up if they'll be there.

So everyone if you're going to compete at the show or know someone who will, post up so we can get to know the competitor before they step on stage or see pics and results.

[Praetorian]

I will be there ready for battle.

[Miss Silly]

I see that in the evening the fitness routines are BEFORE our physique round. In the past, only the top 5 perform their routines. This year are we all going to do routines no matter the placing?

I think so!!.. whoo hoo!!

ps.. my puppy ate my posing shoe tonight!.. very bad... very bad indeed

[ange_d]

I think it's great to have the order of the event e-mailed to us ahead of time!
Takes some of the guess work out of the equation.

How is everyone doing???

[Miss Silly]

Wow if all the fitness girls did their routines in the evening as well i think that's fantastic. Those routines are hard! LOL

I'm barely holding out, in all honesty hahaha. Plagued by a couple overtraining injuries. Same old story---i'm sure i'm not the only one. Not sure my physique is gonna be where i want it to be but i'll rock that shit out anyway ;-P I'm just excited to be back on stage after a year off (went through a divorce--much happier now!).

[Miss Silly]

Oh yeah, i also wanna say a huge thanks to the promoters for giving us the schedule ahead of time. That was cool :-)

dryvrgrl----sorry to hear about your shoe. At least puppy didn't get your suits or costumes! I'm lucky my dog sticks with eating pens & pencils so my shoes have been safe LOL.

[Dryvrgrl]

TPAY's car after accident 2 days ago

[Dryvrgrl]

Im trying to find out if there is anything "we" can do to help him... i mean he placed top 3 last year in his class.. won his class at provincials... it would be a shame for him to not compete... but damn... that's a bad smashup!

[tpay]

Hey folks! I do not often post, but enjoy this great site very very much! Even though I am a little loopy on meds right now let me just say that I am doing all I can to make it to Toronto to do my best! I am training .... albeit lightly and sticking to diet. Posing is challenging as my neck tends to spasm after a couple of poses! LOL Thats gonna look good onstage "why is that dude breakdancing so badly?" Hahaha

Dryvrgrl, I love ya! You are the best!!!

I am gonna try and post a pic taken day of the accident, before of course! Not great lighting, but you get the idea. Oh and just for fun a shot of my best bud Rocco and my ugly old mug!

I will give it my all while I still can. I am hurting, but I am walking!!! So I am pretty damn lucky!

Tpay

[Miss Silly]

wow tpay you look phenomenal. I'm so sorry to read about your smash up. Glad to hear you're still in the game! I wish you all the best.

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Hey tpay. Good to see you doing better. Good luck at the show. Get well soon.

[tiramisu]

The master's classes are shaping up to be more competitive than the open if the pictures people are posting are any indication. I'm really looking forward to the contest day pics.
