We both love the gym and training. I train her and she does the competing ...we do it together. We get ur response all the time...people are shocked that we do it together. We had no idea so many are out there without partner support...we know it would be very difficult.
It does get funny when she is dieting down though...last time she knocked a glass of water over and I was sitting close by...I didn't even notice it and she points at me and says in a "pissed off tone"....you laugh and I'll punch you in the floggin face...and then I did bust out laughing.
Anyway, I brag about her all the time...I live through her..lol..
Saw your comments in the thread about womens BB maybe being on the way out and women with muscles...amen to you...I love that physique in all stages...when she bulks and cuts...we all love women with muscles don't we...lol.
Check her out at http://www.twixpix.com/contests/BC10...10044_008.html GM winner and 2nd in open HW...BC provincials
IF YOU SMACK THAT ASS DO YOU CUT YOUR HAND!!!!??? holy glutes batman!!
she looks AMAZING!!! and a GM to boot.. I TOTALLY admire her!!
(I know you posted about her squats.. and her legs are killer.. but one part I am TOTALLY jealous of is her tricep
Will she compete at Nationals?
actually, her fellow competitor Lisa G is one of the women who made me want to get into BB!! She has a look I really like! those Long lines.. I'd like to see her do better Nationally also!
Well, we'll see what the year brings as for nationals. The lady that came 2nd to her in BC GM won the GM nationals so that has her motivated to kick ass this year. Our big goal is to try and get her the overall and lifetime qualification as she doesn't want to get in there with the HW yet....we are watching real close whats going to happen at shows across the country to see if the talk of this new division influences any of the placings before we get carried away...do we try and get her bigger...by a lot...or do we go for this new look which is really the old look...are u confused yet cause we are.
We were and are big fans of Lisa as well and we didn't know if she would be at prov this past year. We loved having a chance to stand next to her and see how it panned out. She was clearly better in the delts and arms and that long frame looks awesome on stage....we want to get Nanc more X framed out like Lisa...higher delts for sure and bigger thicker arms. Lisa was awesome and totally gracious and a great sport throughout the show...classy lady and a great example for us to follow. Nancy really liked competing against her.
And to go back to your first comment...that is a pretty nice ass isn't it...she was proud of it...I kept getting the "can u see stris in my ass" the last 6 weeks...lol
So...we just started hammering it here last week and she is 168 and climbing so we'll see where that goes...she loves squatting so we just may bust thru that 315 for 4....
What are the odd's???!!! I went to school with her! Well not the same grade, i was 4 years ahead of her, but the same school. Too kool!
Good stuff razor edge....Myself and countrychic recently relocated from the interior BC, and we are the same...We work together, car pool together, workout together, compete together, diet together, ride our Harleys together, and it is awesome...She is just better than me in BBing.....(so far, muahahaha)
Those that play together, stay together....
It is fun watching her outlift several of the fellas at the gyms we go to, it is also fun watching expressions as she walks over and grabs the weights and starts pumping away with weight the guys were just using...The funny thing is she doesnt even know how strong she is, as she really only works out with myself, and compares herself to that 165 lbs, against 265lbs, isnt fair, but i win:yeah, lol..., then we go to a city gym, and she has a reality check, and sees how strong she really is..
She is also a HW, and competes around the 150 mark, and sits around 165-170 off season.....I like both looks absolutely, its nice to see the softer feminine side, then its neat to see the walking anatomy chart when we diet down....Dont see to many folks that are together and respect each other like you and your other half....Kudos to you .....:flagC
Glad to hear some of you guys and gals have another half who is into it...I don 't know how the competitors that don't have the support do it....maybe I'm naive and just assume if someone, guy or gal, are going to commit their blood and guts to the iron, the diet and whatever else is involved to compete at a high level...then there must be a supporting spouse....I couldn't imagine not doing it with her, manipulating the diet, spotting the lifts etc...
And she says thanks for the positive feedback...she's still real shy about it...lol
Do you all go ass to the grass?
Personally, I need to do squats more often, but I do notice people loading on all kinds of crazy weight sometimes at the gym, and they barely go down at all.. more like just burping their knees. Kinda like those guys that grab the huge dumbells for chest presses and only come down far enough to work their triceps.
Thoughts?
Those guys only go that deep as they are trying to lift their ego and its too big for their strength..lol..we're firm believers that warming up and then some sets just below parallel until the load gets real heavy and then just to parallel...we worry about the acl with the heavy load going too deep...
