Last weekend I went to Manila and watched the Asian Benchpress Championship.  Countries present are Iran, Kazakstan, Hongkong, Chinese Taipei and Japan.  Wow it’s my first time to watch a powerlifting competition and I enjoyed.  And maybe i will soon try powerlifting during offseason, lol.

I also had a photoshoot with a very talented photographer and pics came out so great! U can see it in my gallery.  I also had agreat time with friends, bb’s and not.  I’ll share with u here some pics, to see the plain Rowena having fun aside fr training.

Have a great week friends and will update u again of my progress!

I got an invitation from NABBA International to join and defend my 2009 title for the 2010 Asia Pacific Bodybuilding Championship on the 27th-28th of August in Cook Islands.

Been thinking about it if am going or not…and my decision is NO.  I think 2 years of winning in Asia Pacific Champs is enough for me, I need to go try other competition and i am really preparing for the September show and maybe another one before the year ends.

So I still have 3mos to get shredded before my September show.  To all my subcribers new pics and videos are again posted.

Have a fruitful week ahead of us!!

Keep Pumping,

I couldn’t walk properly, walking like a duck,lol.  And if i have to go down stairs it will take me 5mins!  sore soooo good, quads are hard as rock!

Tuesday was chest/back day, i posted pics in the gallery and a video.  It’s pretty hard doing 2 major muscles but i had to do it and i had fun doing it!lol

Wednesday is cardio with abdominals only, Thursday is just cardio.  Friday did HIIT early morning (4am) and did glutes/hams in the evening.  Friday is usually the start my refeed which stretch down to half day on Sundays.  Guess what i ate after my training! ….2 slices of pizza!! friends am on a diet..lol!

Saturday was a big day! i had carbs all day (350grams), and i had my ice cream, i love my coach! hahaha.  Did arms in the morning and shoulders in the evening.  I was able to go heavier than last week…i lifted 130lb on military press.  I took some vids but the quality is not so good.  Admin wants to post it still so we agreed to post it   for FREE!!  U can check my page now to be able to watch the 4vids…

Went for an out of town trip for a few days, we drive for almost 5hours to get to the coastal area of Aurora Province.  Well i know most of you guys are not familiar of the place but its nice sometimes to just go around the area, not to always go to city or out of the country.  We passby the Sierra Madre mountains before we get to our final destination.

The beach was a refreshing change of environment, and i do really love beaches (am a nature lover, lol).  I had the opportunity to get my tan more darker, the chance to wear my bikini (lol)and chance to just hangout with friends.

As expected i am again a head turner on the beach and heard ppl arguing if i am a man or a girl (lol),  Well Filipino ppl esp remote areas are not used seeing a muscular woman like me.  But i am used to people’s reaction, love it coz it makes me different fr most Filipino women.

Anyways i did enjoyed my trip and now back to reality, back to getting my bod bigger!! Its time to break my records last month and go heavier.  Will keep u posted for my developments here, so watch out friends!!

So friends hopefully next week I will again surpass what i lifted this week..and will be glad to let u know how it goes.

Keep visiting my blog and will update u on my weekly improvement.
