I'm not yet ready to hang up the heels since I arrived so late to the party but you'd better believe I'm loving my off season body/life as well. Anyway dear Beth, I will still follow you no matter where you lead! (Unless you keep mentioning Kim Kardashian.

Great stuff Beth. I've often wondered why the competitive standards are so strict when in fact most competitors look better off-season anyway. I know that muscle has to show, since that's what this is all about, but the degree to which it is taken seems like pure folly.rocketmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505634597103541378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907626310134132158.post-51428947954577312792012-06-14T18:29:59.457-04:002012-06-14T18:29:59.457-04:00Good for you!

It took quite a while for me to get my head right after the mental hell I went through with a bad trainer who really had no business coaching for competitions. I was at no higher than 12% bf for the entire year! Anyway, I am back in the gym with a healthy goal that does not include competing.
