Competition History Muscle Beach 2007 - 2nd Place Alberta Provincials 2008 - 6th Place About my training routine (i.e.: how many days per week / training split /cardio, etc.) TRAINING PROGRAM DAY 1: Chest Day 2: Back Day 3: Hamstrings, Adductors and Abductors Day 4: Shoulders Day 5: Quads & Calves Day 6: Arms Day 7: REST I hardly do abs! Maybe 1-2 times a week if that. I believe in keeping your core muscles tight when u train, and that will be enough on its own Off-Season i do 20 min of cardio max a day or none at all. Contest prep, i start with 20 min of cardio a day and increase it slowly as i get closer to my show. BEST body part: My eyes and smile are 2 of my favorites i would also consider my butt to be one of my best body parts too! lol On a serious note, i am comfortable in my own skin, so i cant really say i have an absolute favorite, i just proud of what i have accomplished and become. WORST body part: I still need bigger shoulders!!!
