Maybe she chooses not to post pics this far out. I see no need to pressure her.

Hahaha ;D

Seriously though rip....if you don't feel like posting pics yet...no worries (even though we'd all like to see them ;D)!  But may we please have some updates on diet/workouts...how you're feeling...how many weeks out..what show(s) you're planning on doing etc?  Thanks :)

Hahaha I've been totally stalling on the contest prep thread and progress pics, and Jenny knows it!!   ;D

Well thanks guys, I guess it's time to get it on.  Here's where I'm at:

---USPF (powerlifting) Nationals is this weekend!!  I've been training for this for the last 12 weeks!  It'll be my first time competing in squat and deadlift, and I am doing both of them RAW (no equipment).  I'll be using a bench shirt, and I am going to try to set the USPF National record for the 132 weight class, which I think is currently 237 pounds.  First, I have to make weight.  I am about 133 right now...depleting for a couple of days and weighing in early Friday morning.  The meet is Saturday morning.

--- I am 9.5 weeks out from the North Americans (bodybuilding).  I am NOT sure yet that I am doing this show.  I want to do it, and I am prepping for it, but I am only going to do it if I feel ready.  I started prepping at 18 weeks out, so I have been dieting for about 9 weeks, on top of the powerlifting training.  I've lost about 15 pounds.  This has definitely definitely been the toughest prep I've ever done.  And I am only half way through it.   :P

--- Nationals is 12 weeks after the North Americans.  I'm definitely planning on doing Nationals.   :o
If I do the North Americans, I'll have 2-3 weeks to recharge and chill out a bit afterwards, and then 9-10 weeks to get back into it and bring something even better to Nationals.

So I guess it's time for progress pics?  Right now, I'm focused on the PL meet this weekend, but I'll take pics and vids (hopefully), and then I PROMISE I will take 8 weeks out pics next weekend.  Also, once the powerlifting meet is over, I'll move my training log from the thread on the powerlifting board over to this thread, and I'll just keep my training log here.  I have never kept a really detailed journal, but I have found that the training log has been REALLY helpful, so I'd like to keep that up, and I'll be sure to put some other stuff in here and let you know how I am feeling, because I am pretty much all over the place.   ;D

game on... time to rip it up!

I have to admit, I have loved my off-season ALOT and it was very productive, but I'm really looking forward to looking like that again!   ;D

It's just it takes so damn long!   >:(

Rip,  trust me, you will get there before you know it!  I was feeling the same way and then it seemed like all of a sudden, Bam, I was in shape, and the show is more or less here, LOL.  Funny how the body/mind works.

But GOOD LUCK at the powerlifting meet this weekend!  That is really, really cool! I started doing some "strongman" style training for conditioning purposes, and I've found it to be very helpful.
Can't wait to hear about the new record!!
Go Get It!!  ;)
