TNT- Trish-n-Training: To Compete or Not to Compete?

Last week I competed in the IFBB Pro Physique Grand Prix in LA and it was an eye opening experience for me. When I competed last month, I had a disastrous first show. I got on stage bloated and looking way too soft. So with a few tweaks to my diet and cardio plan, I entered the Grand Prix with a completely different look and enthusiasm. I went into that show hard, tight, and feeling really good. My color looked great, my suit fit me so much better, and my posing was much more polished. So, when I got the very last callout I was a bit thrown off. I placed 8 out of 9 competitors at the Governor's Cup so I was really hoping to move up in the ranks this time.

Kickin It With Karina: California Yes!!

I love California! This past weekend I competed at the 2012 Grand Prix. I had an amazing time.I got there on Thursday. Okay..... it was really cool... first of all I was dressed for spring having just left Boca Raton, Florida. Thank God for my SPECIES track suit which came to the rescue. My husband and my seven year old daughter went with me.

Tiffany Robinson IFBB Fitness Pro Journal #1

For about two weeks now I have been carefully thinking about what I might want to journal about. I took a deep breath and realized that I honestly need to share what I write in my personal journal. I know that others deal with issues daily big and small and why not let everyone know that “you aren’t alone”.

Candice Keene: Back in Action: "The Rough is Only Mental"

Hey Everyone!

Wow! So yeah, it has been awhile since I made a blog. March was obviously an awesome month! I turned 30, placed 3rd in the Figure International, and also competed in the Bros vs Pros event in St Louis. Placing 3rd at the Arnold was my goal, so I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend!!! My next show is the Orlando Europa at the end of April, which is just shy of 3 weeks. It is right here in my backyard so I am pretty excited for all my friends and family to come and cheer me on.

Apprime Fit by Michelle Blank: Blog 2

Happy Easter Everyone! I’m taking a few moments to write this blog while visiting my family during a 32 hour visit to the Tri-State area (NJ, PA & De). I’ve heard many times this weekend, “I don’t know how you do it; your always on the go.” Well I’ve learned from making these quick trips over the last 2 years to not overcommit. I prioritize the things I need to get done, want to get done, and if time allows would like to get done.

Canuck Corner-Installment #6

Hi Everyone!

I hope you have had a great week so far and are feeling strong and motivated in the gym! The spring is a great time of year to start getting outside and change up your training activities. Personally I plan on doing some hill runs just up the street from my place, and also hitting up the ocean side board walk for some invigorating "sea salt air" cardio :-)
