If you were asked to describe the perfect bikini body, what would your reply be? Sure we all have seen ads all our life that are ment to portrey the perfect bikini body, but do they? Well as with any other art form perfection is in the eye of the beholder. Perfection to one is not to another. So where is the standard? In body building, the larger more defined musculature throughout the specimen is the deciding factor as to who wins the competition. In figure modeling, such as bikini modeling, there can be one with an absolutely amazing build and structure that doesn't fit the bikini. A person that has definitely spent more hour than anyone else molding their body to perfection that doesn't fit the build. This is why I feel Bikini Bodies is one of the hardest of all disciplines there is. Dedication, devotion, time, dieting, etc...and you just might not make the cut.
Bikini Bodies are the few and the Elite!!! You are or you are not! You can or can't! You are either a Bikini Body or you are not.
I have decided to spotlight those members that truly Embody the TRUE definition of a "Bikini Body" on a monthly basis. Yes everyone of our members are hardcore Bikini Bodies, but monthly we are going to spotlight one that has shown that the title of Bikini Body is where they are on a larger scale.
So who will be the June 2011 Bikini Body? We will see in a few short days.......

Dance for Definition....
I have had several people at the gym ask me what exercises I do to give me the definition I have in my calves. At first I really didn't know, I really don't do anything special? But then it dawned on me.
I am not the treadmill lover, so my cardio is my own favor...
I dance for cardio, don't laugh. I not only dance I dance a lot. I started to figure it out when I watched myself in the mirror. I pivot a lot on the ball of my foot. The more I watched myself the more I saw the flexing of my calf muscles. So imagine that, my way of getting away from the treadmill gives me a great set of calves.

Pump up an Sculpt your Pecs... Full Range Flyes
For the first couple of years of my fitness plight I really didn't feel that my chest was developing like I wanted it to. I did hundreds of pushups both wide hand and close hand. I did bench press after bench press. Hundreds of sets on the pec-deck, but still was not see the results I wanted. I started doing dumbbell flyes as I found in different exercise forums. I did the incline flyes, the decline flyes and also the flat bench flyes. I did start noticing a difference in my chest definition, but still not what I was looking for. One day at the gym I was watching others workout and noticed they too followed the same regime; Incline flyes, flat flyes, decline flyes, etc. I started to analyze the entire movement of the exercise and this is what I came up with.
We know that the incline flyes concentrate on the upper pectoralis muscles, but who is to say what angle is considered the best incline? We know that the flat flyes work the entire pectoralis muscle conc on the middle of the pectoralis major. Well this one was easy flat is flat. Now we look at the decline flyes which are supposed to be working the lower pecs and pectoralis minor located behind the pectoralis major. Ok, being an engineer by trade, to me angles are very precise and their measurement should be defined. But the majority of articles you read dealing with inclination of flyes and the decline angle of flyes are very vague!!!
So let's look at this very analytically, the pectoralis major muscle is a sheet of muscle stretched across the chest bitalerally oritinating from the strenum and inserted on the head of the humerus bone toward the shoulder. If you want to work this muscle evenly, wouldn't it make sense to work it at different angles, not just three arbitrary angles like most authors claim say 45 deg, 0 deg, and -45 deg?
I let the geek in me get the better of me and decided to try something different. I decided to make a full range fly exercise regime and so I did.
The gym I attend has all Star Trac equipment including the multi-angle benches. They have 9 different angles of inclination, it is gradiated from 0 degrees to 90 degrees and 7 gradiations in between. The bench is pictured below,

I decided I was going to see exactly what difference it would make if I did a complete workout using not the typical 3 angles, but all 9 for the workout.
I started using dumbbells 10 lbs less than I had already been using for my 3 angle approach knowing the angles I was not used to would definitely strain me at first. I started by doing 1 set of ten reps at each angle, starting at 90 degrees (upright) and working through every angle finishing after 2 sets of 10 reps at 0 dgrees of horizontal with the floor. I continued this 3 times a week and worked it into my every day workout regime.
I have to say I am very happy with the results and finally I feel my pecs are developing into muscle I can be very proud of. Here I am after 4 months of this regime and still working hard on it.
