Afterthoughts with Shadow

[Shadow]

Is it on cassette or CD? Make sure you have a CD that actually plays on whatever player they have at the show. Would suck to find that it won't play when you get there. I hate (for the competitors, especially) to see an athlete up there and the back stage people eff up the music, play the wrong music, or have NO music.

Are you practicing your posing?

Is what song or music you chose information available to the public or Top Secret?

It should play. I'm just gonna burn it as a regular audio CD, a make a few copies. LOL @ a cassette.

I haven't had a free minute to go through it yet. I figure I'll decide what poses I want to hit in my minute (I'm getting there), get them down right, then record myself doing them to music. That way I can tweak it here and there. It's my first run, so I'm not gonna be Kai Greene good, but I want to look pretty polished. I'm going to study clips of older guys like Corney and Zane, and then some more current guys like Shawn Ray, Kevin Levrone, and even Kai.

I went with the Dark Knight end theme that I posted in Rich's journal. I grabbed a section right in the middle-ish that starts slow enough to slowly display what I've got, then speeds up with a dramatic end.

Unless you're Kai Greene. lol

What was that, the Arnold Classic the one year? He went over and they shut off his tunes. Wtf?

I didn't like that either. While it's true he should have made sure his music was the right length, they could have given him a little leeway. And Bob singing "The time has come...to leave the stage" was a bit too much.

lol Curt, only you and I still remember cassettes

.... or maybe it is an 8track or better yet, on jumbo Lazer Disc

I remember cassettes. Right around when I was old enough to have a few and remember them is when they started to fade.

Leggys tomorrow.

A minute is super short. Just threw on my posing trunks and came up with a routine in about 40 minutes.

[SwoleChamp]

its a npc show with only a 60 sec routine? most are 90 sec. And good luck to man. Is your show normally a big one?

I went back through all the paperwork, and you're right. It's actually 90 seconds. I just recorded myself doing my routine six times...and it was too short, lol. Thanks bro. Gotta go back to the drawing board and add some things.

And I'm not sure how big it normally is. I'm just jumping in and getting my feet wet. It's a six division bodybuilding show, with the top two in each weight class qualifying for national status.

I've actually never been to a bodybuilding show before. Never seen a pro bodybuilder in person. So my first competition will be many firsts for me.

Good luck at your show. What weight class do you think you'll come in at?

[SwoleChamp]

looking like light heavys, the hardest division lol. but im gonna give it everything i got and go head first! this is my second show.

i really reccomend maybe attending a show even if its just pre-judging so you can know what to expect. really helps out alot

[Shadow]

I pretty much missed all the local shows this year, and the one I'm doing is the first one of the season, lol. I may go with the later one and just attend the one I had planned on competing in.

[SwoleChamp]

whatever you choose, good luck to you and have fun with it

[Shadow]

Re-did routine, adding things. Should be pretty good once I'm in contest shape.

[Armored Underdog]

Let me know if you try those zerchers, I did them yesterday and my legs are sore. of course I did 30 paces a piece with the weight I did the squat with.

heh Curt = old as dirt

I'll check richwa's journal.

Normally I love Chick's humor, but that was BS.

Wow. Who is guest posing at your show?

whatever you choose, good luck to you and have fun with it

This.

Have a blast!

[Mr.Bones]

Seeing a pro bodybuilder in person for the first time can be intimidating.

You will either get motivated, or get de-motivated lolz

[Gerb]

Good call working on the routine now. I start one for my next comp. I got a roigh draft type deal done, my coach tweeked a couple things so I gotta make the changes and I'll rerecord and see how it is looking. I went with a heavy song, what did you go with?
