Up late-what's new? Got a lot on my mind these days. Workouts have been intense and a little different with H's approach. More drop sets than I am used to, but I see the need for them and will continue to do them as necessary. Had a touch of the flu the past couple of days but am feeling better--just a residual cough but I am feeling so much better. I want to thank all of the people ordering my DVD--your support has been amazing-THANK YOU! I hope you enjoy the video as much as I do. My member's section will be up VERY soon. It appears that we are going to completely switch hosts due to the inability of my present host to get things sorted out in a timely manner. That is occurring as we speak, so look out for that section to be launched soon. In other news, I am very excited to see my arm training article up at: http://www.ftvideo.com/genex_FRONT.htm
For all of those wanting an in depth look at my bicep/tricep training...go check it out--very informative. Okay, gonna take another crack at some sleep over here. "G"

Well, Powdy didn't do as well as we had hoped...3rd in the novice lightweight class. Placing aside, he looked TERRIFIC and had such great stage presence. I was on the edge of my seat during his routine--he nailed it--PERFECT! Powdy has great potential and I feel that he needs to get back into the gym and put on the necessary size to complement his frame and he will be a force to be reckoned with next time out. The show was a disappointment all the way around actually. Not a big competitor turn out and they didn't have a female bodybuilding class at all! Not sure if I will attend the Labrada in the future due to this-hey..no sweat off of my back...if a promoter doesn't promote female bodybuilding then why in the hell should he have one paying for a ticket and sitting in his audience??? There were some highlights to the evening when I was able to meet some of my fans and take pics with them. Thanks to all of you! Your nice words really mean a lot to me. Thanks also to the people that have hit that donation button on my homepage in their effort to provide sponsorship to me and my "road to Nationals" this year. Your generosity means the world to me!

Today's entry is dedicated to a person who I have witnessed evolve over this last year in an effort to prepare himself for the Lee Labrada bodybuilding contest coming up this weekend. If you will take the time, I have put a picture of he and I in my "friends, family, & fun" gallery in the bottom right corner. His name is Powdy and he is a total sweetheart. This young man has changed dramatically and I am certain that he will win the novice lightweight division this Saturday. Powdy and I have a lot of similarities including how insanely analytical we become during our prep in overthinking everything and basically...driving ourselves nuts with the tiny details! lol! He has the cutest girlfriend named Teresa and she has been SO understanding and supportive...great job Teresa--Powdy is just getting started, so I am sure there is a lot more to come after this...so prepare yourself! lol! Okay Powdy...you have done your homework now it's all about dialing it in just right...don't think--let Kev and I do the thinking for you and I am sure you will stand victorious on that stage this Saturday. I am SUPREMELY proud of you sweetie--NOW GO GET IT! "G"

Finally...I am back...sorry for the delay. Well, as you can see, my new DVD is for sale in my store. I am super excited about it! I viewed it two nights ago and I must say...VERY COOL VIDEO. I only have a select few that I am selling, so get 'em while you can! I spent last week in Oklahoma at "Camp H" lol! and I can tell you this for sure...that guy is going to kick my butt until Nationals! He is as hardcore as they come and just plain brilliant when it comes to the female physique. Like I have said before and will continue to say...Howard will be the difference for me this year. With his guidance and my dedication I seriously cannot see why I shouldn't grab that pro card in November. I pray that will be the outcome. Everyone has been asking about my member's section...well...I already have the section formulated, it is just a matter of getting the host company that will be handling the memberships all squared away. It is mostly technical stuff, but Andy and I are working hard to get it rolling. Should be any day now-please keep checking. Electra is doing very well--still frolicking around like a puppy and super happy to have me all to herself these days. She is one of the great joys in my life and I feel blessed to have her. As far as my physique goes...well...I am still in BIG GIRL mode. All time high of 195# right now and frankly, I don't look too darn bad at this weight. I hope to get some more offseason shots very soon so I can share the madness! lol! I swear...I am not sure what I will do if I reach the 200# mark. I am eating cleaner and doing my cardio again, so I don't foresee that happening. I have an offseason video/photo shoot with WPW coming up in a month, so I need to pull in the reigns a bit so I don't look TOO soft at that time. They really like us fbbers to be big in the offseason shoots...but not too sloppy looking, so I hope to accomodate. I will be posting pics from that shoot as well. Okay, that's all the pertinent info for now...more soon!!! "G"
