Well done Lou, I'll speak to you later in the week when you come back down to earth.

Almost an unfair advantage

How did Clare Taubman get on there? Did you get to watch each other?

Unfortunately Clare didn't place.. I am very disappointed for her because her package was outstanding. In fact I felt she has some of the best legs ive seen!!

Clare won't give up though - we've been chatting about it.. She's too good not to.

Thanks everyone!

I had such a lovely time in Como.. It's a beautiful location and the show was so well organised!

I love Como, spent a drunken afternoon entertaining a customer when over there on business. Nothing like sitting outside a hotel on a hot sunny day looking over the lake a with a cold drink and chatting about silk ties!! Um, perhaps better without the silk tie chat

Fabulous photos Lou

LOL Kitty!
 
You just reminded me actually! As part of my welcome pack to the competition - I received a silk scarf and tie! LOL xx

What a lovely gesture. Most of the Italian silk fabrics for ties etc are made in the industrial area around Como.....not as pleasant as around the lake

Love your new title, great suggestion from Malika

lou, i bet you're sooooo happy!

What will you do now?

Will you accept the pro card, soften up a touch and compete in america?  Or stay amateur and go for world champion next year?

I remember after you won the brits , your photos being compared to the world champions :-)

Shame for Claire - i love her physique and had thought this may have been her year to win the brits....pass on my regards and tell her im still copying her leg workout out of muscle and fitness magazine!!

Lovely to meet you yesterday

Sponsored by Muscle Finesse  

Nice meeting you too chick I liked your hair !!!
 
Did you have a fun time?! x

Sponsored by EXTREME NUTRITION & Miss Fit Clothing   

Thanks , it's only so people can spot me in a crowd being such a shortie

Certainly enjoyed it that's for sure. Did you manage to watch any of the show?

Sponsored by Muscle Finesse  

Yeh! I had a fun time Kitty. I enjoy working with Team Extreme

We enjoyed a lovely Nandos too!! If I could have found you I would've invited you along! celebrate your pro status too hun

Sponsored by EXTREME NUTRITION & Miss Fit Clothing   

I disappeared not long after talking to you but would have jumped at the invite.....think I can manage a nandos on this daft diet LOL!!

You got a good 'un behind you there, Jo and Dougie seem to look after their guys well

Kitty - when is your next show? is it the one in washington? I was trying to find it in your journal lol x I know there is one coming up in a few weeks!
 
Ah you are so right about the Extreme team.. they look after their competitors really well. Also - I love their products which is great.. I have stomach issues, and their protein works well for my tum :-D
 
Aah I'm back on training, well I only had three days off after my competition.
I'm back running again, which is a passion of mine - and will be weight training 5 days per week..
I am planning my off season diet now.. I don't like eating random food, e.g. last night I had some sushi - what a mistake......!!!! I feel as rough as houses, and have felt sick all day long.

Any thoughts on your next steps?

Hi Kitty!
 
Well i've had a busy few months with work.
But now i'm in the process of deciding what to do...
 
I've been in contact with a few people both stateside and in europe trying to decide my next show.
 
I was asked about competing in March, but that's just too soon for me. I have only gained about 8lbs since the show but to be honest I am pretty exhausted. We shall see...
 
I'll let Christmas move out the way... and then make my decision as I need to plan my year - in terms of training appropriately.
 
Oh - I should have said earlier in my blog but i've been doing some work with fitness TV on sky.. catch if you fancy a giggle! It's like mtv cribs - haha. Never realised I was so quirky!

been watching your tv appearances lol my other half is trying to build shoulders the size of yours now! awesome :-)

Ah the Arnold is a bit too soon for me really Flick.. I was asked to do it but I've been exhausted from dieting.

Hehe thanks Naz-T.. I dont really train my shoulders so much anymore... about once a fortnight. Hope your mrs is enjoying her training :-D

Sponsored by EXTREME NUTRITION & Miss Fit Clothing   

haha your actually on tv as we speak lol, once a fortnight? wow, were both  (me n jules the other half) realising we have to really work on our rear delts as they are lacking, like you this year im having to hit legs hard for the coming months as ive not really worked them as regular as they should have been.
 
apart from rear delt dumbel flies would you recomend a specific for hitting the rears? i was thinking more focus on them during my back workouts with emphasis on bent over and seated rows squeezing at the pivot point of the excercise?

Shall look out for you on TV ....what's the program called? Best time to catch it?

Sponsored by Muscle Finesse  

Hey Naz.. Well I guess I do a variety of exercises for my rear delts. I either train them within my main shoulder work out, or at the end of my back work out.

I like.. Bent over rear delt raises, both dumbbells and cables. I also like performing the crucifix exercise.. To be honest though I don't need to do a lot for my shoulders at all, they grow from the slightest stimulation...

Hey I found this link for you - it has a huge database of shoulder exercises ;-) http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/finder/lookup/filter/muscle/id/12/muscle/shoulders


Kitty - its channel 281. I'm not sure what time its on because I have virgin media and not sky! my sister has had to record it for me LOL. Although Naz said it was on earlier today lol x
