That’s what my new trainer has been telling me lately. Don’t go by what a scientific study tells you is going to happen to you body, go by what you’re seeing in the mirror. And maybe even more importantly, don’t go by what Mary or Katie are doing, but go by what I’ve doing. How [...]

Shout out to Jennie!
Posted by redheadlaw7 on February 12th, 2012
I just wanted to thank Jennie Clagett Gray, national NPC figure competitor, for shipping me over a pair of Pro Grips so I could try ‘em out at the gym. They are fabulous and I highly recommend that anybody that does any lifting check these things out!
Playin’ with the boys!

I just came across a great article on John Berardi’s website written by a nutritionist and female figure competitor about women and weights.

The struggle to stay thin.
Posted by redheadlaw7 on January 4th, 2012
My husband shot me some commentary about a New York Times article that was recently published called “The Fat Trap.” The article discusses how someone who has dropped a good deal of weight will have to struggle harder to maintain that lower weight than someone who is naturally that thin. It appears that they may [...]

If you’d like to know what on Earth everybody is talking about when they say you need to take your omega 3′s and fish oil check out this wonderful article written by my favorite pro bodybuilder/nutrition guru/doctor/contest prep specialist Layne Norton. I know it’s one supplement, especially when cutting, that I refuse to go without!
