Funny One-Liners at the Gym

Summer is officially here in both Vegas and Albuquerque, and I am feeling the desert heat. I love the desert, no matter what city. From the high plains of New Mexico, to even Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to Nevada, I feel at home. The winds have kicked up a bit, and there was a forest fire in Flagstaff, and we got the smoke! I thought for a moment, the Sandia mountain range was on fire.

I have been a busy bee producing content for Goddess of Fetish. The latter part of 2010 and early 2011, I have met with many videographers/editors in the industry. I am focusing on stepping up my quality of productions, and updating on a more frequent basis. From the beginning, I self filmed and recruited friends to be my models. That works in the beginning, but, I owe it to my loyal fans a better quality product, and it's my passion, so I owe it to myself, too.

I have found that honing my Amazonian strength and body is a serious craft, that comes first and foremost, and then, finally, the rest of my business. And, ultimately, it comes down to proper time management, and, being the free spirit that I am, sometimes, I just go with the wind! So, I had to examine critically what I am doing, both in my personal and business life, and see if I can make some adjustments to improve everything. Ultimately, the end result will be good, I know that.

One great achievement for me is that I have been getting stronger and I have been producing more content on a regular basis, which, as I stated, are my two primary functions in my craft. So, if you check out my website, you will begin to see better quality footage, editing, and style.

My overhead pressing has increased quite a bit over the past year. About six weeks ago, I overhead push pressed 225, and I can do 185x5x3 on a regular basis. I could probably grind out 10 reps at 185, but that's a bit too high volume for me! Who knows, for the sake of capturing it on film, I may just do that. Maybe I will do that with benching 225 for reps, and squats, maybe something like 300. And, deadlifting, perhaps 315 for reps. Would you like to see that? In fact, what I will do, is develop what I call an "Amazon Medley", where I will put together 10 events or maximum reps and film it for you. That way, I have a goal for myself, to always top my last effort. I could test myself on a monthly basis. Hmmmmm. Sounds like I am cutting out a lot of fun for myself!

So, the funny quotes of the day in the gym go something like this. I met a couple guys in my gym here at Defined Fitness in Albuquerque, and one guy said, "So, you used to be like a quarter horse, now you are a Clydesdale?" And, another member told me as I flexed my lats and he felt them, "I have never felt anything like that on a woman before!" I laughed my ass off, but replied, "I have a lot of things on my body you have probably never felt on a woman!" Of course, I was talking about the rest of my massive feminine muscles that ordinary women do not have. It was a great day in the gym! It's always good when you can laugh, and get a great reaction out of people, mostly inspirational, but sometimes intimidating. It's all in a day's work in the Steel Universe!

Projects 2011

I am fervently working on many collaborations for new videos this year. I have secured and interviewed models and videographers as well as scouted out shooting locations. As a small production company, it's all about staying within budget, and delivering a high quality product to the audience. Fortunately, over the past few years, I have been blessed with a devoted fan base, that despite my shortcomings in quantity and quality of footage, they have stood by me, and I thank them and the Universe for such fate. As we all know, nothing good in life comes easily. This is why I am very focused on making all my hopes and dreams come true in 2011 through my hard work and passion.

As many of you may know, my craft is being a top notch, super sexy, powerful Amazon. This is no easy task, as it requires high quality food, diligent training with extremely heavy weights, and plenty of rest, and tender loving care from my intimate friends. Oh yes, and lots of sex. Can't forget that. I would be remiss if I did not mention that. Sex and all that surrounds the act of sex the foreplay and the after play are what I consider one of the finest things in life, and also, the elixir to a balanced, happy life. I have never been one to use drugs or alcohol or other substances or crutches to get "high on life". I simply don't believe any of these things enhance any one's well being in the long run. Now, admittedly, I enjoy my red wine or tequila in moderation, but I never drink to make myself feel better.

So, maintaining my Amazonian physique to my specifications takes some doing and maintenance from a few good friends! We cannot go through this world without our own network, and being interdependent upon others, nor should we try.

I am fortunate to have networked with some wonderful people this year, and this will show in all of my work, that I have received opportunities and gifts from many people. I have learned a long time ago, that everyone has something good to offer the world. And, it is incumbent upon each and every one of us to sort out what are our own unique gifts and talents and how we may make the world a better place. It does not have to be something so complex or complicated. So long as you bring joy to yourself and others, I think that is enough. Making someone smile or laugh during the day. Laughter is also another overlooked elixir to youth and good health. It's difficult to be preoccupied or sad in life while you are laughing.

So, back to the drawing board on becoming the best Amazon I can become, I have been pushing the envelope on all of my lifts. My deltoid/scaupla/latissimus dorsi group has become a bit tight from all the heavy benching and overhead pressing, but it is healing up and feeling better today. This past Monday, I bench pressed 295x2 and a week ago today, I overhead pressed 215x3 (2 separate sets) in push press fashion. So, the lifts are increasing and I am feeling more confident in pushing heavier weights. But, any sign of stress or strain, and I give myself a few more days rest, as this is the most prudent thing to do. I plan on videotaping this in the next few days, so stay tuned to my blog so you can witness my progress.

And, the craft of staying on top of my strength game will only serve to translate into better quality video productions for my website(s).

Projects 2011

I have been fervently working on many projects for 2011.

Overhead Pressing

My new standard benchmark for OH pressing is 185x5 on any given day. This allows me to easily lift people up to around the 160 pound range overhead with ease. Although, lifting a human body is a lot different than a barbell due to a lot of factors. And, the liftee must not fidget, twist, or move about while in the air, otherwise, he could cause serious damage to either myself or himself. I always try to train the liftee, to relax, and to hold his hands and legs a certain way, but it's not always easy. I tried to have Rebecca Swanson lift me overhead one time, and it is a bit scary in the air, first of all, you must trust the lifter that you are not going to get dropped! And, in my case, I am 5'9", and my reach is around 7'4", so taking all of this into account, the liftee is quite a ways up in the air, helpless, and sideways. It's best if I have someone that has great body awareness, and perhaps a gymnastic or acrobatic type background, and knows how to make himself "light" while in the air.

My shoulders, wrists, hands, and elbows must not only be very strong, but also flexible.

So
This past summer, I trained to begin lifting people overhead to display my unique feats of strength. Nothing is more intriguing than a big, powerful, sensual body in motion as far as I am concerned. My girlfriend here weighs right around 100 pounds. Stay tuned for more exciting lifts and feats of strength!
