2008 NPC Junior USAs
So I made it to the first leg of the Junior USAs weekend. I didn't get any sleep last night and took off at 4:30am for the airport. Flight was scheduled for 7:00am, but of course, it was delayed for an hour. Noel met me at the airport and picked me up. Later in the afternoon, we hit the gym. For me it was heavy arms and light shoulders and for Noel it was her last depletion workout. Good workout for me - 9 sets for triceps, 9 sets for biceps - all in the 6-8 range and then 12 sets for shoulders/traps - all in the 12-15 rep range. Good pump, lotsa veins.
Noel is looking hard. Seeing the improvements from this time last year in person really lets you appreciate the gains. A full 10lbs heavier. If memory serves she put on nearly 2 inches on her arms. What the heck? Why can't I do that? :lol: Shoulders are full, pecs are striated, back is detailed WITH vascularity in the BACK.
Here's one shot I snapped in the gym (after 8 liters of water :lol:). You can find a few more on Noel's blog - probably tomorrow.
