Reverse pec dec machine (you need one with bars, not pads).

Rocco32 · 09-25-2003, 12:22 PM

Been doing that one TP. Wasn't sure how effective it is, thanks for reinforcing that exercise!

hikerchick · 09-25-2003, 12:28 PM

How about a cable pull? using the lower cable pulley with a handle, you face the weight stack standing, pull back.

ponyboy · 09-25-2003, 12:32 PM

You can also do them lying over a stability (Swiss) ball to work your stabilizers at the same time.

Rocco32 · 09-25-2003, 12:33 PM

Should the handle be shoulder level and pull straight back?

you could do it either way, waist level or shoulder level, would just work different muscle fibers.

ATTENTION NIKEGURL/HILARY!!

Just checked out your pics and you look so good. You are going to do great with this. I can't wait to see how good you're looking in 3 months with the January pictures. Good luck and know I'm clapping

for you every step of the way with every fish oil capsule you take!! BTW I'm going to order them off that website you and Leslie suggested - thanks!!

Stop with the i'm so fat comments

You are NOT fat!!
So what you got a couple of nice little love handles

BUT YOU ARE NOT FAT!!

BabsieGirl · 09-25-2003, 11:36 PM

Thanks Anti. I was wondering about that as I was posting. Didn't know if we kept pics to our journal only or both.

People -- Please feel free to offer suggestions.

WELCOME EVERYONE AND GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!

Ps: You all look great and you're going to do well in achieving your goals. My precious is right, "So you have some fat or you want to bulk up, easier to put on than to take it off. All you need is hard work, dedication, desire and the passion from within and you will make it."

ponyboy · 09-26-2003, 07:05 AM

Question for judges: Are PH's legal?

It was said before that OTC stuff was okay, and these are OTC...I have some leftover 1-AD I would like to use while bulking up but if it isn't kosher for the purposes of this competition that's fine with me.

J'Bo · 09-26-2003, 07:09 AM

we will have to discuss this. get right back to you.

hikerchick · 09-26-2003, 07:56 AM

Hi Babsie

and welcome!!
Your pics look great. Can't believe you have two kids!! How old are they? I have a 11 month old.
Good luck with the contest and your goals, you are going to do so well!

Jenny · 09-26-2003, 08:10 AM

Yeah, Babs, you're hot

Nike, you are so not fat! So we've both got a little softness, but that's all going away now

BabsieGirl · 09-26-2003, 08:20 AM

Thanks Jen and Hiker

BabsieGirl · 09-26-2003, 08:24 AM

hey Hicker and Jen, I'll write you more
in a bit. I wrote more than what posted
and I don't have time to retype it all again
Be sure to check back this afternoon.

meanwhile, keep smiling. We're all making
changes. I know I'm making changes with my atttitude along with weight loss and b/f loss. I just don't like the attitude that comes with it. I'm sure J'Bo knows what I'm talking about.

slither · 09-26-2003, 09:34 AM

hey i got this stuff from s.d.i. methadrostenol. any good?will i see any results? side effects?

nikegurl · 09-26-2003, 10:32 AM

ok - have to address the "fat" thing. i know other ladies will get this....

i realize that i'm not fat in the general sense of the word. but for me, i'm very fat. it's all relative. ya know? i'm not used to having any pudge in my middle. i'm not gonna harp on it or beat myself up. i'm just going to handle it and not let it happen again.

Jenny · 09-26-2003, 10:56 AM

Oh I know NG! Fat for me is not seeing my abs and having my pants all tight. Fat for other people are like not being able to wear a size 20.
It's all relative!

Stacey · 09-26-2003, 12:35 PM

Hey everyone!!

Nikegurl-- I'm with you.. I have felt the same as you-- I KNOW I'm not Fat- But I know what I can look like, what I HAVE looked like before, and what I should look like!!

And I want it all back--
I feel good about myself this week though.

nikegurl · 09-26-2003, 12:42 PM

We have high standards

J'Bo · 09-26-2003, 12:45 PM

maybe we should use another word otherthan FAT.

nikegurl · 09-26-2003, 12:47 PM

"unacceptable" comes to mind in my case.

butterfly · 09-26-2003, 12:57 PM

I know what you ladies mean... I know I'm not fat, I feel my present condition is unacceptable for me and I know I could look better!

Stacey · 09-26-2003, 12:58 PM

Unacceptable is a great word for it!!!

Leslie · 09-26-2003, 01:38 PM

I was thinking..."Not as lean as we would like to be"

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
