I know its been awhile since I've posted anything and I will be back on my regular thing soon.
I've been really busy changing jobs and starting my life again in a new area.
This past weekend I went on a trip to Michigan and visited 3 different gyms to do some photo shoots.
I will be posting some shots in a few weeks to show you how it went.
Our first stop was PowerHouse gym in Fenton, MI. It was a really cool gym with lots of handpicked, old school type of equipment. It had all the best toys!!! :)
Here is a video I edited together showing the workout I did that Sat.
I trained Back, Calves, and Biceps.
Deadlifts x 10/10/5/2
Pulldowns x 10/8/6
Bent Row Machine x 10/8/6
Seated Row Machine x 10/8/6 Drop
Shrugs x 15/12/10
Donkey Calf Raise x 20/20/20
Seated Calf Raise x20/15/10
1 Leg Calf Press x 15/15/15
Concentrated Bicep Curl Machine x 15/15/10
Preacher Curls with Manual Resistance x 10 + 5 Forced Reps
We did the photoshot there on Fri right after I flew in from atlanta so I was a little tired.
Never, ever, ever will I drink an entire Redline to wake myself up.
I literally stayed awake the entire night Friday and had to do a video the next day!
I don' know how I pulled it off, but Sat afternoon I went into the original Power House gym in Highland Park. You've heard of 8 Mile…well this was 4 Mile !! LOL
Talk with the judges and get feedback if possible.
It is very important for these judges to recognize your face.
2. EXPLORE -
Adventure out to new places and check out the town. I love flying to new places and I really enjoy meeting new people and doing something or seeing something I never have before. Restaurants are a good place to start.
Staying at the Host Hotel is worth the extra money I think.
3. PHOTOSHOOT - Book a well known photographer. Get some shots done and capture your conditioning while you are still dry and lean from the show.
4. Go Trick or Treating with the supplement reps at the show :) LOL
5. PRACTICE YOUR POSING ahead of time.
I manage to get my conditioning in just great.
I do 2 a days about 3 weeks out from a competition and really reduce my calories.
What I need to be doing is practicing my posing more often before my next show though .
I'd love to try some moves from these videos next time :)
