Today I will be doing Back and Biceps, and I am throwing my traps in with back today, i alternate my traps with back sometimes and with shoulders other times. Today though traps are going in with my back routine:

back and traps

Heavy Dumbbels shrugs 5 sets til failure
Seated one arm pulls 4 sets til failure
seated cables pulls with wide grip 4 sets til failure
Bent over dumbbell rows 3 sets til failure
Lat Pull downs 3 sets til failure
Lat straight arm push downs 3 sets til failure

Biceps

Seated machine curls 4 sets til failure
Incline bench dumbbell curls 2 sets til failure
Seated Bent over curls 4 sets til failure
end with Seated curls 4 sets til failure (same as i started with)

No i don't do hammer curls, lol, never have

and yes i do the weirdest shit, but I've been at it for 20 some years and i just know how my body responds day by day, and i change shit up a lot lol

in my younger years i did all the free weight heavy shit, and if your a newbie, yes YOU need to Squat heavy to get big period! You need to get under that bench and kill it, but me , i train for longevity now and my routine would not be good for younger guys lol,

Great workout.

So I am three weeks out from my first show and my upper body is already stage ready, but I can't get my legs to separate. With three weeks left, what are some quick wins where I can put the pedal to the floor to get that separation to come in. I feel myself getting weaker. Any workout tips? I know the high reps, etc. but any best exercises to help with that.

Females always have a hard time trying to separate their lower bodies, and its always the last to come in, my wife did a few shows and it was always much the same at first , until she learned to say closer to show shape down the line, but she had the same issue her first go around, my best advice is loads of high rep exercise for the legs, and just try pulling as much water out as possible, of course a no brainer and not much help to you but i wanted to say that your not alone, most females are like this and it generally always comes together right down to the last minute with your carb and water deplete phase along with resting your legs the last few days and keeping them elevated and off them as much as possible! your last leg pump should be about a week out

update, i just peeped out your pics, and i have a feeling your legs are fine! lol, i haven't seen them, but theirs no way your upper body can look like that and your legs be that far behind! you look great! Wouldn't mind seeing the total package head to toe though, hope i didn't get someone in trouble who let me see your pics through pm lol, whoops, but yeah you look great hun!

That is really good advice about the elevation and rest. I will keep busting out those reps. I was a large girl back in the day and my body just doesn't want to let go of the "old" fat on my legs. I agree once I burn it off I will be able to maintain it. Its just my upper body is awesome and my legs MEH!!! Well, its about progress and not perfection...every show I will become better and better.

LOL. No you didn't get your friend into trouble. I really appreciate that! My upper body most definitely over powers my lower. When I am closer to the show I will share some progress pics.The posing pics I have in my suit are dark...but your friend does have them... :wink:

Standing Dumbbell press: 7 sets of 5 reps
Front Dumbbell Raise: 7 sets of 5 reps

Also freight train who's forum were in probably might have some of those best kept secrets for you as he has trained quite a few females i believe and always gets his people into tip top shape, so i would certainly check back to see what he has to say

Ok yes high reps but make sure to squeeze for 2 to 3 sec,sissy squats are great ,single leg ext with 4 sec negative an 2 sec hold,lunges work also..on the leg press do single leg with your body turned to the side so your right foot is pointed at 10 o clock an left foot at 2 o clock let me know if that helps!!!!
