Training hard in the gym, eating enough to bulk up the muscles so they can grow. I want the muscles to grow BADLY, especially in my upper body. I'm already up 16 lbs since my last competiton which i hear is pretty normal. My mind is starting to play tricks on me though with this bulking. I am feeling a bit on the fat side. I don't like being in the 130s and feel at home in the 120s. I know it will be temporary though so i need to stay focused and think POSITIVELY throughout these last 2 weeks of bulking. Its not all clean, but i'm really trying. My trainer stated to go semi clean and she mentioned that on this time around she will throw in the carbs a bit earlier in the last weeks since she is getting to know my body. I'm wondering how my body will respond to the dieting this time around. I usually gain or lose pretty fast lately. Is it possible to gain a bit more muscle till my September show? I asked my trainer, she says probably not because my body is still recovering...hmmm. Thats kinda a downer! I have it in my mind that i am though. I'm lifting as heavy as i can and my upper body is really feeling it. Also a difference on this comp prep is that i will be using a local gym and not just working out at home. We will see :) Also i will have to find another one piece suit that will actually fit, the one i bought was more for someone weighing about 120-125 onstage. It was too big for me and the cut on the booty doesn't flatter me at all.

hey girl! Sounds like you are on the right track for building muscles! Oh, you are going to be SO ripped for your next comp - I cannot wait to see your pictures with whole lotta muscles! :-)
RIP IT, Peach!

Hey girlie...get that application to the Arnold in the mail...I did today...I want you there with me...okay!! We'll get each other through the winter bulking :) It's tough after we worked so hard to get the weight off, then we have to put it back on...but it will come off again, and each time we'll have a little more muscle to show for it. Keep lifting heavy, grow, grow, grow...and get that application in the mail...I placed myself in the 5'4.5"-5'6", which would you be in??? I don't care if we compete against each other, you'll probably whop my ass, but it will be more fun to have you there than to place better :) Don't wait to get it in the mail :)
I haven't gotten to start the bulk/head games yet cause I'm doing another show in July...but then it's on!!
I really hope so Margarita! It may not be enough time, but i still ain't giving up! My sis and I will be having some spotters soon at the gym.
Tina, girl i'm thinking that maybe we should wait till 2010 for the Arnold. I feel like i'm going to lack in muscles, thats a huge show! I'm exactly 5'4" so maybe i won't be up against you. No worries :) Yeah, the bulking will get to your head after awhile. Just have to stay positive. Did you have to go ahead and pay for the entry? What if they are full do they refund you?
Yeah you get your money back if they don't have room, but as of right now they do!! I'm not looking to win or even place, but I'm going to train everyday like I've got a chance. It's a big show, but look at the girls they picked in the top 6 so doable. I know you will be ready...get that money in!! U can't leave me out there doing this alone :)
Hmmm, Tina i need to look back at those girls then and think about it. It would be great to do that show with all the wonderful divas that are qualifying now for it! Dang, i am going to be up some TOUGH ASS competition! I know its about having fun though and coming in at our own best each time. That sense of accomplishment is so addictive! ;)
