Time to sprint through this finish line. Do everything in your power now so you are not wondering "what if" after the show. Best of luck!

[Cytrainer913]

Good luck with the show, You are ready!

This is more of the beginning of the race for me, just a warm-up show for some posing practice!

Good luck with the show, You are ready!

I've still got 3lbs to lose, but I should be ready for my original debut show on May 25!

I'll let the video speak for itself.

[The Solution]

Just wanted to say congrats on the top 3 in your first show, i think i heard on the camera my exact thoughts about you getting 3rd and i agree with it. Your back was the best on stage hands down. it was light out when you turned to the back. with 4 more to go you will be destined to walk away an overall champion as you continue to lean up. Great job on your first outing.

[ZSize512]

I'll let the video speak for itself.

Looked great out there and as Bob said congrats on your top 3 placing and as Bob said once turned out around it was lights out. Keep up the hard work and you'll get an overall. Just alittle tip when your ever asked to switch within the line up ALWAYS make sure you walk in front of the other competitors, it just continues to show the judges your confidence and judges are still looking at you then.

[psychodiver9]

Congrats on the hard work paying off

[wrkoutfrq]

After watching the vid I would have had you in 2nd... #14 had some crazy arms and delts with decent conditioning (yours was better) so I can understand why she took the class (you def. gave her a run for it!), but IMO there's no way you should have been behind #1. You had her in conditioning, muscularity, and presentation, ESPECIALLY from the back. The big question is did you enjoy the show!?

[OoChadwickoO]

Is their any other results or pictures svaible for the show?

[fltallpaul]

Best conditioning on stage. The winner had a nice quad sweep, shoulder to waist ratio was the best on stage and although she wasn't as lean still didn't have any trouble areas. Second place was a bit odd, she didn't carry much muscle at all.

First time on stage though and you're posing was awesome. You didn't look like a rookie by any means. Your season is only going to be more fun so keep working hard.

[jpfaherty]

Great work this past weekend! Keep your foot on the gas

[illiniStrive]

2nd place was tiiiiiny... I don't get it at all. Eric's "commentary" was spot on

On to the next chicka!

Berto added intervals this week, 2x/week (5 min w/u, 7 intervals, 5 min cool down) on lower days I know it's going to be harder but I am going to do prowler/sled/battle ropes because I actually miss conditioning a little and don't want to feel like I am dying when I go back to it in my off season.

Intervals, aw snap! I loathe those . Would much rather do car pushes/tire flips!

Getting close, Kelsea. Time to put it in high gear!

[DoubleDaysBen]

Just got back from vaca, catching up on the log. Your back looked straight nasty on stage girl! HOOOHEE Way to kill it. Definitely don't agree with the placement, you had second place beat imo.

PS Nice work with the prowler on today's post. Shiz getting straight dirty up in hurrrrr! I like it Keep it up, you got this!
