Sherri Gray Photoshoot at Masters Nationals

Here is a video of NPC competitor Sherri Gray , shot at the 2011 Masters Nationals in Pittsburgh, where she took 2nd place in her class.  The video is by Sherri's husband, who took it during a photo shoot by the legendary Gene X Hwang. Sherri's website is here , and she has training and diet plans available under her "Store" link.

Bodybuilder Contest Prep "Evolution"

This (admittedly somewhat crude) time-lapse video shows the effect of a well-executed bodybuilding contest prep.  I think what he did was to shoot one still photo each day of the prep and then string them all together in order. (Video embedding disabled, so click here to watch on YouTube!) What you notice is that there is seldom any noticeable improvement day over day.  But, over the course of weeks?  Magic!!!

The Incredible Difficulty of Everything.

I am coming to the conclusion that almost everything is incredibly more difficult than we believe it to be.  I am starting to see it from two sides at once:  from the perspective of someone who has succeeded at something difficult, and also from the perspective of someone totally "lost at sea" and unable to achieve something I did not expect to be so hard. I know with a pretty high degree of accuracy what it takes to get the human body in a certain kind of muscular shape, at a certain relatively low body fat level.  And I see all kinds of clueless people in the gym, nominally with these same body transformation goals in mind, but unaware that they are completely doomed by their misguided efforts and lack of intensity.  Year after year, they work out in the same way, at the same very low intensity level.  If they are expecting to grow, they are disappointed, because year after year they look a little softer and a little smaller.

New IFBB Pro Bodybuilders Crowned at Masters Nationals

I had a great trip to Pittsburgh, PA, for the NPC Teen, Collegiate, and Masters Nationals this weekend.  This year, they divided the contest so that all the women's events were on Friday, and all the men's events were on Saturday.  I think it worked really well. I was really happy to see Janet Kaufman win her class and turn pro!  I interviewed Janet for this blog last year. I was also glad to see Bonnie Pappas turn pro.  She and her family sat next to me and my son at the men's pre-judging on Saturday morning.  She seems like a really great person. Pittsburgh was delightful.  We didn't wander too far from the host hotel (except to visit Allegheny Cemetery), but it was great to spend Saturday night down by the river, with the colored fountains and the fireworks from the ballgame across the river. Sunday, we attended church again at Grace Church, Mt. Washington , but that is a subject for another blog entry.
