That's actually a pretty good idea. 22 is reasonable and I'd much rather see pre-judging. That's the contest.Quote:

Im really just excited and ready to go do this! My routine is all worked out, choreography is done, music done, costume done... I really have nothing left to do except make it through the next 3 weeks, lift smart, and keep practicing my routine! Im a little miffed about the competition... there was a few girls I know who were planning on competing, and they backed out for various reasons... I just really wanted to stand up against some of the girls who beat me last year so I can fairly judge myself as far as gains and weaknesses, but that's cool... i think it will still be a good competition and alot of fun!
Be careful with the hip flexor. You don't want to be all knotted up on game day. Limping during a routine is probably considered bad form. I remember going to a karate competition with a pulled groin muscle. It didn't work out to well. Happily I mostly got kicked in the stomach by small women and children so it didn't hurt very much but it's kind of tough to be graceful if you can't get your feet off the ground.
Yeah T!.. lol I hear ya! limping on stage is what I did LAST year!!, it's sooo 2009!! lol
(tore my hamstring in novice... trained to provincials injured...)
it's feeling good... had a good stretch today, I just keep telling myself "this is it... coast on in...)
quick progress pic... I wish I would have gotten bigger... oh well, always next year... measurements today- chest 35.5 inch
waist 25 inch
hips 35.5 inch
weight 120 lbs
Looking great Dryvrgrl!!! What do you weigh in that pic? I would so love to see your routine!!! The one thing I love about fitness is the routine part!! Keep practicing your posing and polishing your routine!!! You will do awesome!!
So are you saying that you may be the only one competing in fitness?
WOW!!! You look fantastic DG! Love the suit too:)
holy shit! you did great prepping girl wow!!
Thanks!..
Maria.. I know there will still be at least 5 women in the short class, only 1 so far in tall and 3 in masters. I will do my height and masters, I just am right on the cust of the height (Im 5'4 and the short/ tall is 5'4.5") so we'll have to wait until weigh in to see what happens.
Jeff is trying to hold me at the size of this picture for another week and a half then strip the last bit at the end with his secret formula of food and cardio! lol...
... Now the important question. What will the post contest meal consist of. Careful planning is required :)
Going to nationals this year if you qualify or will you wait till next year? From what I can tell this gets a bit expensive for female competitors.
LOL.. BOSTON PIZZA and one of those marshmellow peanutbutter square desert things that you get at every single wedding shower... you know what I mean with the little marshmellows!! lol oh and maybe a shooter or two! ;)
and yes, if I qualify Im going to do nationals... Ill be turning 39 two weeks before nationals, so if this is a goal to do before I turn 40, this year is my only shot at it!! ;)
