*Opens the door, looks around... *
What can I say about myself - um, I like long walks and evenings sitting by the fire...
Okay, sub "tearing it up in the powercage" for sitting by the fire. Okay, and I hate cardio.
A little more description is, I suppose, in order: I am a middle-aged woman who, at the age of 38, stepped away from the treadmills and into a whole new world.
Thing is, I WAS trying to be fit. I did all the bullshit toning and cardio crap the industry spoonfeeds to women. The thing is, it didn't work and it wasn't my fault it didn't work - but it took me a while to figure out why. See, while I do have a formal education in science, it's in Math/Stats and Operations Research, not fitness.
But I can read - more importantly, I can read peer-reviewed research.
So in the fall of 2001 - with no experience, no personal trainer, no dietitian, no coach, and no drugs; using ordinary food and the most basic of community-center equipment - I set out to change myself from a fat, middle-aged jogger into this.
I journaled everything I did, wrote it all down and give it away to the world for free.
Dunno if any of you read my stuff, but I published a few articles and ran a monthly Q&A column on wannabebig for about a year - you can read all the stuff I wrote for them (and a few more that I didn't write for them) on my blog if you're interested.
My goal - I guess you could call it my mission in the iron game - has been to deconstruct the process as much as possible - and lay it out in a way that anyone can approach it - because care and feeding of the human body shouldn't be a trade secret.
Now, partway into menopause and enjoying the newfound world of bioidentical HRT (currently transdermal testosterone and progesterone, and oral DHEA and T3, all medically supervised), I am entering into a whole new uncharted dimension to this sport.
Hmmm... maybe that's my new sig: The Bioidentical Bodybuilder.
Sounds kinda catchy, don't it?
Thanks for the invite, Prince.

Welcome Built, I haven't been around here much myself lately, will be on here more often.


Dude!
LOVE the sig!
I sure wish more girls followed your advice. My buddies girlfriend just kills herself on the treadmill everyday. I've asked her a few times to come lift with me and my girl but she seems to think she'd doing the right thing.
You give a whole new meaning to the word cut-up. Wow.


Thanks Gixxer - maybe send her to my blog. The cardio article could help her a lot (I sneak my lifting split into it, maybe she won't notice... )

She's tied up in my closet!
I never find the time to find another place,
I'm a bad motherfucker who lives it every day.
You never look at me now, you never look me in the face.
I'm a timebomb yeah


She is quite smoking hot! I've enjoyed reading her discussions here.


One thing you will notice with both Built and Sassy is the free sharing of their immense knowledge. Both ladies are awesome at giving back to the bodybuilding/fitness community and represent themselves as great people first and bodybuilders second. I respect both of them completely.
