Nice to be here!

[kimm4]

Welcome aboard. What competitions have you taken part of?

Thanks for the welcome. I've been competing in natural bb for over 10 years. I've competed in the ANBC, OCB, NGA, NPC, INBF, USBF, BLNPA...Lots of shows, tons of hardware and many new friends along the way. It's been a great journey and I'm still having fun!

[joedemarco]

[freebirdmac]

Kim, are you doing a short lean out period and then going back to bulking before your comp prep starts? Or still in bulk mode?

[Capt_lou]

Hey Kim mmmmmmmmmmmmm :hmn:

BTW you don't have to say WTF here lol

[kimm4]

Kim, are you doing a short lean out period and then going back to bulking before your comp prep starts? Or still in bulk mode?

Right now I'm just sitting tight maintaining. This is like the first time in years when I don't have a plan...LOL. I think I want to focus on just getting through the holidays and then decide what I want to do.

[kimm4]

Kimm,

I am always curious to hear how folks who have been in shows go about setting up their offseason and prep schedule so if you dont mind could you share a little insight into how you prepare?

Damn Kim! Those bi curls are unreal!! Actually your tri press downs are huge too! :drool:

[buckimscl]

Nice workout Kim. Good #'s!!

[kimm4]

Kimm,

I am always curious to hear how folks who have been in shows go about setting up their offseason and prep schedule so if you dont mind could you share a little insight into how you prepare?

How I can make this simple without boring you to death. For the past 10 yrs I've been competing non stop. I've finally reached the point where I've nailed my conditioning, but I lack overall size. Kind of hard to add any decent size when constantly dieting for shows...lesson well learned. So, after my last show in 08 I decided to take a couple years off to focus on building. I chose to do a slow, clean bulk keeping my calories 200 above my maintenance. This way fat gains are minimal and it's much easier for me to track my progress. I just started adding a little cardio back into my program, I haven't done any cardio in almost 2 yrs.

My lifting is heavy year round, this never changes. I do very little cardio even during contest prep. When dieting for shows I go a little lower than the norm in my deficit, save all my energy for heavy lifting and NEVER EVER kill myself with cardio. This way I'm able to retain most if not all of my lean muscle. I do long slow dieting and always keep a huge variety of foods...this makes me a happy woman. :)

My past off seasons (which were really non existent) I'd keep my weight around 122 lbs.

But since I've finally taken some much needed time to build I sit between 130-135 lbs and I've managed to keep pretty lean.

I used to compete between 108-110 lbs.

I don't know what I will be competing at in 2010 and I really don't care...just want to nail conditioning.

[kimm4]

Nice workout Kim. Good #'s!!

Thank you!!

[Shariff Abel]

Thank you!!

Your welcome nice workout Kim

Sorry it's not a relaxing time of year for you. Phfftt. I really don't know anyone who relaxes this time of year. Maybe between Christmas and New Years.

If one job ends, another will begin. It's the upheaval and uncertainty that stinks. Have some more beer and let it pass you by :D

Thanks girl. :) I can't do pullups in the beginning of my workouts. If I do them 1st, they bug the hell out of my shoulders. So I save them for the end...just to see what I got left in the tank.

Back is one of my strongest body parts no doubt.

70's!!! That's awesome Kim :excited:

I wonder how much more I could push if I used a spotter? I'm too damn stubborn and picky when it comes to spotters...I like training alone. :)

[kimm4]

Some serious weight being lifted. Good stuff!!

Thank you! :)

[buckimscl]

Very good numbers Kim. Nice job on the 70's!

[freebirdmac]

No doubt you could lift more with a spotter. Getting those dumbbells up is hard and the weaker part of the lift. Maybe as much as 10-20 pounds over the presses themselves. On bb press the psychological confidence increase is probably worth the same 10-20 pounds. Or more.

Without a spotter you could do both in the squat rack and get some of these Amazon.com: Power Hooks Dumbbell Power Hooks for Free Weights Dumbbells & Bars: Sports & Outdoors

Have a question on this, why do you do 115lbs drop to 105 back up to 115 then drop back to 105 and then jump to 125?????

If you follow my journal you'll see I do this a lot.

It's basically a wave loading type workout. There are many different ways to wave load. I find that this style training helps to increase strength, increase explosiveness, work capacity and will help a person bust through plateaus. The idea is to trick the mind/body into lifting heavier loads.

I might get my 1st set of 50 x 10. My 2nd set I'll go heavier for so many reps. Then I'll go back down to 50, but this time I'm able to get 12 reps (not always but I can usually get more)...constantly tricking my body to think it has to work harder...does that make sense?

[kimm4]

Hi everyone, thanks so much for all the Bday wishes. http://assets.bodybuilding.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif Things are going great and 2010 is going to be a fantastic year! My business is picking up real fast and I'm working with a lot of new clients. Between the New Year's Resolutioners and Contest season approaching, I've got my work cut out of for me. I've added an additional page to my web site called Kims Playground. My normal journals here and on other boards give my basic day to day workouts. Kims Playground will be a little more in depth about me, what's going on in my life, my training, blah, blah, blah...I doubt I'll post in their daily as I just don't have the time, check it if you have a chance. www.iron-kim.com (http://www.iron-kim.com/)

I hit the gym for some back/shoulders. Workout was intense and I'm feeling real good.

I'm sure you'll love them. Don't plan to go too heavy, because balancing/holding the bar in that position is tough. I can go ATG doing these easier than any other squat. They crush the hammies/glutes like you wouldn't believe.

Let me know how you like them. :)

[gman]

those are the ones where you hold the bar in the crook of your elbows...correct?

Fuck Kimm you're killing it on the legs, just goes to show you how you build that beautiful lower body of yours (which always has me drooling:drool: by the way, I am an ass man what can I say :D)

Is this your first time doing Zerchers? When I do them I keep my elbows inside my quads I see people doing them outside the quads, how did you do em?

[Bob45]

This looks like a good journal to subscribe to. Hi, I'm Bob, haha.

[GirlyMuscle]

Kimm, do you feel the Zercher squats with less weight do more for you than regular squats at a higher weight?

[kimm4]

Yup, 1st time doing them. I keep my elbows inside my quads as well, seems like it's easier to control the bar this way.

Thanks hun!! ;)

[kimm4]

Kimm, do you feel the Zercher squats with less weight do more for you than regular squats at a higher weight?

I felt like I got more out of them indeed. The way the weight is held, it forces you to go total ATG. I have trouble going full ATG doing regular squats. My hamms/glutes were killing me when I left the gym and this is something that rarely happens with me. This and my heart rate was through the fuckin roof lol. :)

We'll see what happens.

[kimm4]

[kimm4]

Yes.

[gman]

I might try these...my problem is I can't go ATG unless I have weight on my back pressing me down a little. Not sure if that makes sense or not to you...in other words, I can't squat ATG just doing bodyweight squats. I need weight to push me down.

Thinking I might have the same problem if I try Zercher's

TGIF everyone! For those that didn't know I'm going to be a 1st time grandmother. http://assets.bodybuilding.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif

My daughter found out today that she's having a girl. They tried to find out last month but the baby's leg were crossed too tight...they tried everything...but she would not move lol.

A little part of me wanted a grandson. Only because I have 2 girls, but it's ok I'm still excited!

I'll be hitting the gym later today, so I'll be back with a workout.

[freebirdmac]

Yay! A granddaughter! That's awesome!

I may try those Zercher's tonight :)

[gman]

That's cool...I am not a grandfather yet, and hope it's not anytime soon...but I do want to be one someday!

That's cool...I am not a grandfather yet, and hope it's not anytime soon...but I do want to be one someday!

Kimm I really love your routines, short, simple yet very productive. I think too many people train with way too much volume and if you are not on steroids or some help too much volume can be counterproductive.

If there ever was a female that I would love to work out with you are definitely one of them! Have a great weekend!

Today is my 14 yr Anniversary. :) I don't think we'll be doing anything. My husband is not feeling well, he caught what I had last week. Not sure if I'm training today, between my last couple workouts and yes more shoveling last night...I'm fuckin beat. We'll see.

Well typically I am but when, ahem..you know, the eye is on the prize, well that kind of fucks the mental aspect of things a bit.

Let me give you a quick synopsis, your driving a car at 100 miles an hour, and you are looking straight ahead (the reading) you see something towards the drivers side window, (think of something that truly would catch your eye, well for me that is Kimms umm well you know) you turn your head, but remember you are going 100 miles and hours, so in order to get a perfect look your whole body has to turn to full appreciate the beauty of it, everythjing else in the front view flys by, do you really care?

Right, got them flipped and almost up...but not quite there.

This is what happens when you train alone with no spotters...:(

[fatbackgoal]

Pictures look good and nice workout. No worse feeling than when you know you can handle a weight if only there was a spotter.

Happy Monday all, hope you had a great weekend! I'm on my 2nd week of dieting and it's going great. I'm focused and feeling good.

Today was Back/Tris...very strong workout. Then after I was done a couple guys asked me to help spot them. They were doing db presses with 130's, throwing these heavy chains over their knuckles lol. I never knew I could lift a 130 off the floor and hand it off to someone...it was fun and hardcore all rolled into one...http://assets.bodybuilding.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif

I guess you didn't have anything left :eek:

Yeah, handing up the big dumbbells is cool :) But when you think about what you can deadlift...

I needed to break with Max for many reasons... scheduling, routines, tired of being manhandled, taken advantage of.... I'm happier! I may not have a built in spotter but that's ok. No more crutch. The best part is I can workout earlier beating the crowds and have a workout routine of my own. John (bodyhard) is going to be writing my workout routines now. Should be good :p

Oh that's too bad, sorry to hear that. I've been training solo for years and I seriously love it! I might not be able to go as heavy is some exercises, but I make up for it in others. :)

I'm sure John would put a solid routine together for you...no worries there! :)

I know I don't have much, but I got a little bit. So it's not going to be anything crazy...but it'll give me more of an idea of what I have to work with.

Now are you and Max still cool...or did it end on a bad note? I was surprised when I read your journal...I thought you guys were doing well...hmmmm...

I'm a little peeved at him. I guess I was doing a slow burn and it caught up with me. I never really talked about my situation with him on the forums or in real life. If I had I probably wouldn't have ignored my unrest.

I'm working out earlier so I don't run into him. But it'll be ok. Until he sees my new workout. He would not approve :)

I am doing better today, thanks. I've had a bad head cold which then moved into my lungs. I can finally breathe well enough to resume HIIT cardio.

Looking forward to your progress. You use more weights than many of the guys at my gym!

Keep up the great work.

Lot's of head colds going around this year. If you're not feeling back to your normal self don't go crazy with the HIIT...not worth it. :)

I've always been pretty strong, even when I first started. I think a big part of it is because I train at an all guys gym. It's an old school gym, hardcore, basement type...serious lifters only...no bulllshit! I always go into to my workouts with a good mindset that I can push heavy weights just like everyone else. So even though I'm a female I belong there and have no problems hanging with the boys...it's a great motivation for me.

[Mac]

Yeah, the HIIT will probably be more like LIIT as it's not worth it to set myself back after that cold.

Hi Baldie!

I absolutely hate the pec dec, but I use it. I don't know it seems when I do single arm I feel it's hits the pecs so much better.

Yes, I've been competing in bb for almost 10 yrs. Tried figure a few times, but it's not my thing. I haven't been on the stage since 2008...took a long needed break. I will be getting back on stage in May of 2011 and then I'm thinking retirement. There's just too many changes and I don't like where it's all going...:(

[freebirdmac]

How's the strained ab coming along Kim?

Great to see you back here :p

[kimm4]

BB is my passion and I love it. I'm not the biggest girl, but I do my best to try to nail my conditioning. I'm a good bb, but I'll never be great...and I'm ok with that.

I've only did figure twice just to try it. It's too pretty, too dainty for me. Don't get me wrong...I clean up nice but it's just not my thing.

I do well in both, but I enjoy bb so much more. :)

I started using the heating pad a good 15 min before I hit the gym. It warms up the muscle and it feels so much better. I'm still healing, but it feels good compared to the past few weeks.

Keeping fingers crossed...

That's me too. Not the biggest and not quite girlie enough for figure. Bodybuilding is my love and passion and always will be, even after the NPC/IFBB squash it. I gotta do what I love. :)

Honestly, I'm still not over bringing in the bikini division (no offense to bikini women...but that was a fuckin kick in the teeth...) now this...I should just retire now lol...

I haven't even thought of next year. Well, I have but I'm pretty sure I'll be competing in Australia. If I do compete here, I'm going into any future show with the package I want to bring. I'd rather place last because I'm the most muscular than first because I'm soft and small.

I agree, they continue lowering the bar...so sad for all these women that have busted their asses to get where the are today.

Ya know...I think THAT's why it bugs me so much. I don't like "gimmes" or "do overs" based on the fact that I'm a woman. Do you know how long it took me to agree to tee off from the Ladies tees on a golf course? I don't like when someone let's me win. Don't make it easier...make it harder!

Amen. At least have it a completely different time and not make bodybuilders share the pump up room with bimbos...no offense to bimbos.
