Back in Seattle at my sister's house. I went to Gold's in Redmond. It's nice but I liked the Gold's in Vancouver better. I had a good day today. This was my last heavy workout before the meet May 5 in Vegas. I hate Seattle weather, all the rain and gloom drives me crazy, and I am looking forward to being back home tomorrow. It's funny it rained in Vancouver too, but I loved Vancouver, what an alive city and the people were great. I hope that everyone is doing well. When I get home I'll post a work out for all of the ladies out there.

I loved training in this little gym. It worked out awesome. I hope that everyone is doing well. Life is an adventure, and in life we have ups and downs, but its how you handle the downs that really counts, as they are the things that will define who your are as a person. There are risks worth taking everyday, and we should all live this life to the full. I hope all of you will life your life to the full everyday. Live as though this was your last day, no regets. Eat well, sleep well and train like you mean it.

Hi Everyone,
Upper Back and Biceps- Db Hammer Curls- 4x10
Arnold Curls- 3x10
Supported Rows- 3x10
V-handle Lat Pull ins- 3x10
Cable Arrow Pulls- 3x10
Abs- Crunches- 50, V-ups- 40
I found a Golds Gym here in Vancouver, and it was great. Old School style with db's and straight bars, and just enough machines to make it worth while. I loved it. The best part was the cute little Asian gal at the counter give me a free VIP pass for three days. Oh yea! The city is beautiful and the people are nice. I also did 25 mins. of cardio, which I hate, but I have to cut weight for the up coming comp in Vegas. I hope everyone is doing good. Sleep well, eat well, and be thankful everyday.
