I can’t stress the importance of mind-muscle connection enough. It’s vital to really build and tone what you want, and a key to avoiding injury in the gym! Building my gluteus has always been an area I struggle with, and I discovered it’s because I’m hamstring dominant – which is pretty common. What I mean … Continue reading

Cheesecake is my weakness… it’s right up there with creme brule and brownies. But, if I was to choose just one, it’d probably be cheesecake. I hope to never be in a position where all three are in front of me and I can only have one. This obviously isn’t in my peak week meal … Continue reading
Same same, but different from last week’s leg day. Because I’m a week out from my show AND had the night shift from hell last night (with just 4 hours sleep this morning), I lightened the load a little and increased the reps. And, as always, I focused on good form. I’m also trying something … Continue reading
Hey all… So, today was suppose to be a rest day, but considering I’m a week and a half from the first of three shows (and the intense guilt I feel for doing nothing) I went in for double lunch at 2am. Yeah, it’s tough working out at that time, my legs feel like lead. … Continue reading

I went a little lighter than last week, but still made the workout challenging by really contracting my back on each exercise – I focused on the mind-muscle connection. This turned out to be a pretty exhausting workout, which I’m quite happy about. I hate going down in weight, but I hate a bad workout even … Continue reading
Good news, and bad news. Good news: Mindi isn’t changing my workout plan until peak week next week – the week before the show. Bad news: It’s the same workout as last week 😦 I didn’t go up in weight this week. Instead, to make it challenging and change it up, I reduced the weight … Continue reading
Today was suppose to be a rest day. But, considering I'm 2 weeks out from the show, I figured it can't hurt to get in a little extra cardio. I'm really working on bringing my legs in for this show. The hard impact of sprinting on the track will help bring out the muscle separation … Continue reading
I came up with the idea for this post while I was working out at my gym the other day. Let me explain… I like to go to the gym and workout. I don’t like to stop and chat, I don’t like to look around and see who’s there. I just like to get lost … Continue reading
