All we know about bone supplements is that it helps us build better and stronger bones, but did you know there is much more to them ?
Zinc is a great infection fighter from the flu, colds, sores, open wounds a.s.o.
It also helps increase testosterone levels and help with sun sensitivity!!!
Put zinc in the form of cream on your skin at it becomes a sun block!!!
Calcium is not only nourishing your bones, calcium is also responsible for muscle contraction in the form
of a buffer!!!
The reason we can control muscle movents is because of calcium!
See how a deficit in calcium can cause bone loss?
Because muscle contraction is number one for your body 😉
Magnesium feeds your bones but is also a natural muscle relaxer!!!
Being low in magnesium causes cramping, scar tissue in your fascia, tightness and stiffness in the body!

This Blog is donated to Kimberly Bloomberg who just competed yesterday, June 9th in Reno Nevada and placed 3rd place in the Masters devision over 35!
Her very first Competition was in March were she placed 5th place!
Since then she made great improvements in her abdominals, her lateral quads, her onstage performance as well as in confidence and strength 🙂
For now Kimberly will take a short break from dieting !
She will continue her regular training routine with the Las Vegas Figure and Bikini Team!
Looking back I remember that in the beginning we would hear Kimberly say a lot of ” I can’t do that”, which has completely turned around 😉
To descripe Kimberly now I will say confident, very intelligent, beautiful, strong, and the sweetest person you will ever know!!!
We are feeling blessed to have Kimberly Bloomberg as one of our Las Vegas Figure and Bikini Team members!
The Las Vegas Figure and Bikini Team is proud of you!!!
I told a gentlemen at my gym once that he should work with his negative motion since he was just using weights throwing DB’s around…
He laughed at me and said ” I haven’t done that in years…. That’s old school!”
Well, he is wrong!
Just that people forget using muscle fibers in every way!
Or sometime ego takes over and says ” you can do heavier than that “!
In Personal Training we call this timing 🙂
Our muscle fiber develope with concentric contraction ( as in lifting a coffee cup), isometricly ( as in drinking the coffee while your arm remains still), and eccentricity as in putting the cup back on the table!
We build muscle in all 3 phases…
So if you cut out one, you are keeping yourself from
getting more and better muscle!!!
Or look at it this way : you are prolonging the time it takes to get the body you want!!!
You can make a workout extremely hard just by changing your timing!
Let’s say your Bicep curl will be a 2-2-3 timing, meaning 2 counts in your concentric phase ( curling your DB up ), 2 counts holding in your concentric phase, 3 counts in your eccentric phase (bringing the DB back down)….
Now change timing to 2-4-6…
See what happens?
It takes 1/2 the time to exhaust that muscle!!!
You can apply this principle almost to all your muscles!
That’s when play time starts :))
Pre exhaust your muscle by doing a 2-4-6 timing, then start partial reps ( 1/2 movements) and finish with a 2-2-2 time….
Kills you everytime!
So, remember to get the body you want use the right timing!
Otherwise you’re just throwing weights….

Competitors go through a variety of feelings while dieting and training for a Competition!
After the first few weeks the feeling of “depravation ” is coming in!!!
Competition diets are very restricted of alcohol, sugar, heavy fats and starches !
There are carbohydrates involved, but they are all good old boring plain clean foods….
The use of food for emotional feelings is completely out!!!
In the end there is no cheating allowed at all and eating has to be 100% on dot!
Timing , amounts, ratio, water intake, supplementation……
As your body fat goes down a woman will create less estrogen and more testosterone !
That just happens naturally in your body!!!
As a woman we are producing estrogen not only in our ovaries but also in our fatty tissue 🙂
A woman’s brain works on estrogen ….
Ever wonder why women go crazy once entering menopause?
Estrogen deprivation !!!
And even though a Competition Woman does not enter menopause, she is still going through estrogen deprivation …..
Emotional ups and downs, crying a lot without reason, feeling sluggish and depressed are typical symptoms!!!
So what can you do about it?
Well, you can not take estrogen if you don’t want to add body fat!
But you can mentally prepare yourself and your family that this is what will happen during the last Quater of your journey!
Try to keep a positive mind set.
Surround yourself with positive friends.
Play up beat music …..
Focus on the date set of your goal and the changes you made in your body!
Design a dinner date in your head once Competition is over!
But even just by knowing that this will be only temporarily will help you focus on bigger and better things!
Just be prepared…
