Babsie Contest prep. Pic and Journal

naturaltan · 11-03-2003, 01:35 PM

Babsie ... if you look at the Vegas pics thread, you'll see what I'm all about. I don't take much very seriously. I live for having fun. I guess that someday I'll slow down, but @ 37, I'll still enjoying the fun life. I've been able to balance out time for me, the wife and our daughter.

BabsieGirl · 11-03-2003, 01:42 PM

LOL......Fun life. I don't have time for that NOR have I experienced it. Growing up, I've lived a sheltered life. NOT ALLOWED DOING ANYTHING. My DAD DROVE me to prom.....DROVE ME!!!! My date met me there. Oh well. This explains why I'm pretty much a serious person. I do know how to have fun though.

For the reason above, I envy your spirit. Most men care about...them.....them....them...and uh, oh yeah...them! I saw the vegas pics and for the most part, looks like you would be blast to hang out with. Your wife is a pretty lady. I bet your daughter gorgeous. Maybe next year more IMers can and will get together.

naturaltan · 11-03-2003, 01:59 PM

Our daughter might become a concern if she takes her parents party zest for life. She is a doll (a parents bias opinion of course). But at 10, she is more mature than most of her friends. Even while we were away in Vegas, she was doing her homework and guitar practice before she asked her grandparents to watch TV/play games etc. The chances are this will change, but we're hoping for the best.

Thanks for the compliment on the wife. She is now trying to get back her former body.

I think what she was missing from her regime was a more intense workout. She's now working out with me, hopefully that will solve that problem.

ponyboy · 11-04-2003, 10:08 AM

That's freaking hardcore!

Are you saying you use 50 lb dumbbells for lateral raises? Damn you're strong. I don't even use those for shoulder press!

BabsieGirl · 11-04-2003, 10:18 AM

Thanks PB!

Yeppers. I use 50lb DB for side shoulder raises. I do 30 reps that are pulse half way up, all the way down. It's tough because the heavier the weight, the more my lats spread. Gets annoying because they get in the way.

naturaltan · 11-04-2003, 10:47 AM

half way up you mean half way to being vertical with your shoulders? You're absolutely right Ponyboy ... she must be strong. Like you, I only press 65lb db.

J'Bo · 11-04-2003, 10:47 AM

babs are you sure that you lift 50lbs each arm on free weight db's? i have never heard of a guy even using that weight. i lift 15lbs only

nikegurl · 11-04-2003, 11:00 AM

damn! that's CRAZY strong! at my best/strongest I used the 50 lb dbs for chest (flat DB press) and was feeling pretty proud but for side laterals? never in my wildest dreams. you GO girl!

BabsieGirl · 11-04-2003, 11:16 AM

If you all are doubting me. Maybe I can have someone take a pic of me doing it.

It's not that dif. maybe you all are not picturing this the way I'm doing it.

My max weight going ALL THE WAY up is 35lb DB

I can say while I was doing it last night...many of the guys were needing to pick their jaws up off the floor AND put their eyes back into their sockets. lol

Picture this...

You're standing. DB are resting at your side. You then LIFT HALF WAY and back down pulsing it for 30 reps. I also have to use straps to help with the grip. Try it.

nikegurl · 11-04-2003, 11:19 AM

not doubting you - just damn impressed!

J'Bo · 11-04-2003, 11:20 AM

i am not doubting you...i just wanted to make sure we were talking about the same thing...i cant even hold a 50lb db...congrats you superwomen.

BabsieGirl · 11-04-2003, 11:21 AM

Thanks NG & J'Bo.

Stacey · 11-04-2003, 01:07 PM

	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...
