7 weeks out from Figure Contest

Just a quick question ,,, How many of you reccomend band training instead of weights to bring in the details for a woman. I have good muscularity and through my posing practice am tightening more and more but was thinking of starting to use bands from here on in combined with weights..

How do you think the bands will "bring in definition"? Definition is leanness with muscularity. You can't bring it in with light work. It doesn't work that way.

Have you competed before?

I think you need to start reading a lot more to better understand how to prepare your body for this contest.

are you posting just to show the soft porn? If you actually do lean out you will be far bigger in looks than Built is......you should actually read a LOT more as was suggested.

Also, IFBB pros ARE on assisted....it is how they win.

I am not going to stop leaning out ,,, I have gotten quite a bit leaner in 5 weeks and am staying on the course of heavy with supersets..... And I am not using any assistance,,, I do know they use things that are shall we say obtained from sources, LOL ,,, I am not promoting anything those are my sites if you chooes to look great if not that is great too,,,, I use a lot of weights and some bands for stretching when I am done with a workout ,,, I am seeing veins so I know that I am quite a bit leaner and practicing my mandatory's 6 x per week for 45 minutes each night in my 4.5 heels... that is really making a difference as Hubby will not let me drink anything while I sweat my ass off ,,, LOL well no it is still there...

i wasn't serious.

lots of sweating and not replacing fluids = stupidity.

I know that it has to be done come contest day....but save the moron behaviour for contest day and the other days try and be a little more "safe."


Whatever though.....what I am saying is going to fall on deaf ears, since bodybuilders are morons and totally dogmatic about shit they know nothing about...ie the human body and exercise physiology.

Oh perhaps I was not clear... the 45 minute session is broken into 20 minutes at a time with a 10 minute break in between for fluids ,,,, No he is not a moron and your credentials are impressive. I should have been more clear in my post

well, i don't compete in bodybuilding because I think it is lame as shit and not a sport. I did compete in other things. However, since you seem to be so hung the fuck up on bodybuilding, I did compete in a show, the NABBA Natural Empire States several years ago and took 4th in my first show. So yes, I do have a trophy. I also trained an all natural girl for a huge NPC show (The Eastern States) in NYC. It was her first show, and she was totally natural against all the chicks who were 'assisted' and trying to get their pro card. She took 5th.

I own a sports performance company and work with pro and amatuer athletes.

I have a Masters Degree in Exercise Science. I am workign on my licensure on clinical sports massage. I have spoken at national conventions on strength and conditioning. I hold several certifications, most noteable from the NSCA as a certified strength and conditioning specialist.

I would consider mysely some what of an 'authoritiy' on the topic.

so why r u here if you feel that way about BB? congrats on the 4th and I edited my post for a reason I reacted with out reading your credentials,,, We do own a gym and we personally assit people each and every day with their goals ,,, My husband works with High School and College Football players on strength and speed training,,,, I am not using any assistance and that is why I break after 20 minutes ,,, we are doing 1.5 gallons of water based fluids per day ,,,, Hydration is a big part and not looking forward to the last week of prep when that gets cut...

Because 95% of the people here are not here to compete in bodybuilding. They are here to learn about and discuss exercise and fitness and how to live healthier lives. So if I can help give them some ideas and direction towards meeting their goals, then it is all good!

Yes, you should have been more clear. I thought your husband was just having you sweat it out and dehydrated (ala, stupid high school wrestling coaches) which is not smart and dangerous!

so you do cardio for 20 minutes then sit in a chair and do not move while drinking fluids then hit cardio again for another 20...rest pause for fluids...and you train with bands for added "tone" without bulk so you won't look like those gross girls with muscle, right?

You are 15% BF on your porn site as well as the other site listed?
