    Any Canadian Female Competitors?

    Just wondering if there are any female figure competitors here from Canada? The thought of doing a show has always been at the back of my mind, although I'm a long way off at this point. I am just looking for info on different show associations/groups and maybe it will give me the push I need...

    I first want to thank Sassy69 for suggesting a warm-up before lifting. I had been getting a clicking in my left shoulder when doing shoulder exercises, but my shoulder workout yesterday was click free! Bike intervals 20 min Overhead press 20x10x3 Front raises 15x10x3 Upright rows 40x10x3...

    I woke up today with sore shoulders which never happens after a chest day for me. Not sure if it's from switching to a bar, or if my alignment was off a bit because of using the smith machine yesterday. I played around with reverse pyramid lifting for a few of my exercises today, which I've...

    Thanks ladies! Both are doable for sure. I will give it a go for my next chest day and see what happens!

    I wish I could ask for a spot Jenner, it's just that the majority of my workouts are at 4am and the gym is empty at that time. I realize I'm not lifting a lot of weight right now, I'm more afraid of not being able to control the regular bar if it gets tough and wreck my shoulder or something...

    I made a transition from dumbbells to smith machine today for my chest workout. I haven't trained chest using a bar in a very long time, pretty much due to the fact that I work out alone and am a bit scared of not having a spotter. Thoughts? Elliptical intervals 20min Bench 50x10x3 Decline...

    Thank you so much for your feedback, I truly appreciate it! I am definitely going to take your advice and rethink my weights and reps and start doing a warm-up. These two ideas are new to me, so I will do my research! A couple of things I forgot to mention earlier... I am currently taking...

    Ok, here goes. Not sure where this journey will take me, but this is the first time in years that I've been excited about training thanks to a new gym in my area that finally caters to me. In recent years I have become lazy and put on quite a bit of weight. After getting sick of my body I have...

    Anyone else get shoulder clicking?

    Is this something that a physiotherapist could diagnose, or would that fall to a regular medical doctor? Thanks!

    Anyone else get shoulder clicking?

    Sorry to bring up an old thread. I noticed a clicking in my left shoulder yesterday while doing lateral shoulder raises. I have read through the comments on this thread and the stretches on BI's log. I have never had an injury to my shoulder, nor have I had surgery. I am interested in dr Jim's...

My snacks would consist of things like yogurt and fruit, bagels, veggies and cheese, English muffin and peanut butter. To be honest, I recently realized that...
