Bikini and Figure are so damn boring.

*strut, strut, strut, strut, hip pop, strut, strut, booty pop, strut*

*quarter turn, quarter turn, quarter turn, quarter turn*

I’m going to the Toronto Pro Show next week and there are going to be a million bikini and figure classes before I get to see some muscle.

I’m considering showing up late to the competition, just so that I don’t have to watch 3 consecutive hours of strutting and quarter turns.

Damn near gave myself a hernia laughing at the Toronto Star’s most recent publication about the Mayor. Every week, it’s something new. This is better than reality TV.

I stumbled across this gem tonight.

*Sigh* 1990s women’s bodybuilding. My favourite era.

In this video, Bev Francis talks about the benefits of bodybuilding for women and girls and the iconic Lenda Murray poses.

British bodybuilder Lisa Cross is interviewed by Dave Palumbo.

I used to follow Lisa Cross when I lived in the U.K. She’s definitely one of my favourite lower profile bodybuilders. Her love for training is so inspiring. She trains for herself. She trains because she loves it. It wasn’t until within the last 5 years or so that she started competing.

I was between 113 and 115lbs then. I’m glad I take up some more space now. Man, I couldn’t even DL 135lbs then.

So I haven’t had my period since January because sometimes my cycle goes on vacation every few years or so. It happened a couple of times when I was an undergrad that for 3-4 months out of a year, my cycles would go *poof*. The disruptions in my cycles aren’t related to my athleticism because they occurred equally when I was regularly unfit and when I became more fit. What I can’t explain is how when I was super lean, my cycles were the most regular they’ve ever been in my life.

I can’t complain because I saved mad stacks of cheddar which would normally be spent on tampons and toilet paper. Didn’t miss it at all. But when my cycles returned, they returned with a savage vengeance. Like now.

My uterus has been making fists all day and I feel like I am actually bleeding to death. Ibuprofen doesn’t even work anymore. How I trained like I did today, I don’t know.

And when guys complain about how they can’t train because their pinky hurts….. eff that. I’m bleeding to death for like a week and I just rack pulled over 400lbs.

Hi-lighter butt! Perfect for Street prowler safety? These are size large and they’re a little snug around the bottom.

What do bodybuilders and strongpeople wear??? Spandex EVERYTHING? And Zubaz. You can’t forget the Zubaz!

I just bought neon yellow shorts

Got my 405lb rack pull 3x1. Ahead of schedule too ^__^. On my third single my grip pooped out just as i locked out and nearly took my callouses off.

Next week, I’ll pull from shin height. In two weeks, I’ll pull a heavy single from the floor. Im not supposed to max out. So I’m gunning for 305lbs.

Period cramps are the best on deadlift day

Extra agitation and rage.

Sorta like how some guys slap each other in the face before a lift.
