Best Butt Overhaul

As I was strolling through the magazine section in Walgreens the a few weeks back, I came across the February 2012 issue of MuscleMag. Every now and then I like to scroll through and read articles regarding nutrition, exercise, etc. Towards the end of the MuscleMag magazine, I saw an article that was titled "Livin' La Vida."

Here is a piece was what the articled discussed. "...Cuban-born Vida Guerra has gotten her props in mainstream men's magazines, getting covers and being honored with the title of"Best Butt" by FHM."

Here is the a photo of Vida in the early 2000s.


 Featured in FHM magazine

The article goes on to discuss Vida's recent ventures. "...the 37 year old is racking up awards on NPC bikini stages. Guerra, who stands 5'2 and competes at about 105lbs, had auspicious debut at the 2011 NPC West Coast Classic, winning both her class and the overall in the Masters 35+ division...."

Here is a photo of her now.




First off, congrats to Vida. The NPC, and for that matter, any competition isn't the easiest thing to go for. It takes a lot of self discipline and focus, so God bless you on that. I just have a dispute I would like to air out. My comment on these recent turn of events is not going to be politically correct, but those that have been following me know that I could careless. Being as blunt as possible is just the way to go. I am truly happy for Vida. She's 37 years old and competing, which is blessing for anyone, especially someone in their mid-late 30s. Its not easy getting in that shape. She has truly reinvented herself and hopefully can bridge the gap between the NPC/IFBB and mainstream media. I really don't like to do this, but she should of keep her original facial features. The photos from her late 20s to early 30s were amazing, but look at her face. Now look at her recent work. In my opinion, she got something done. I don't know if it was due to medical reason or what not, but it got me and a few fans upset. God gave you a certain look, use it! She went to from Cuban born to American altered Italian. Again, I don't know why ... But .. Really?

In closing, I am happy for Vida Guerra overall. Back in the day, she really had a butt to die for, but now she's on her way in becoming pro and at her age, that's amazing. My only beef is why the face change.  Please don't get me wrong, she was hot, still is hot and will be for decades to come, but she should of kept it Hispanic. We may never know.

No More Skinny Jeans For Me

Since the beginning of the year, I've been struggling to find my niche on the entertainment side of my ambition.  During the late winter early spring, I got the bug to pursue acting and modeling.  I felt like they go hand and hand, but I never put my first love (bodybuilding) aside.  I always knew, then, that if things weren't going the way I thought they would, I can always go back to slamming heavy metal.


200lbs


My resume and experience had a great boom.  I was featured on a successful web-series, national print for MLB,  pilot shows, modeling competitions, etc.  I loved it, but didn't like the fact that I was down to 193lbs.  Though I felt like I looked great in some of the shots I took, I didn't feel at ease.  I truly felt like something was missing.  Basically, I felt incomplete.


190lbs


One thing I did love was the fashion that Jillian Valentine (1/2 Sweet Life CEO) introduced me to.  I was able to fit into skinny jeans, tight shirts, scarfs, etc.   I was killing it on a daily basis, but their was always something eating at me from the inside.  My regin in skinny jeans lasted a good 2/3's of the year because the love of metal finally dragged me back in.

This past September, I vowed to myself that I will never put bodybuilding in the backseat ever again.  Since then, I have went from 193lbs up to 218lbs and I feel great.  My nutrition has me taking in between 350 grams to 410 grams of protein daily spaced out into 8 meals.  I'm up at 4am - 430am 7 days out of the week and the first thing I hit is a 40-50 gram whey protein shake.  2 hours later I'm eating 2 whole eggs, 4 egg whites and 40 - 50 grams of complex carbs with 24- 36 oz of water.  I don't have time to play anymore games.  I know now that this is the lifestyle I want and I'm damn proud of it.


218lbs and loving it


I am on right on track to step on stage in 18 months, God willingly.  Never side step a dream.  Always stride towards glory.  Life comes around once, why stay stagnant in something your not 100% about.  If your heart isn't in it, step away and listen to what your heart wants.


Never Let Go


Die Hard Live Strong,

Chemistry Held In Frame




Not too long ago, The Sweet Life's very own Jillian Valentin and Omar Torres (aKa MaleVsFemale) linked up with The Hip Hop Gamer and Shifted2U.com at BMW of Bayside.  The music duo was busy right off the bat with an interview and a great shoot. 

Here are some of the photographs we obtained for The Sweet Life viewers. 











The Hip Hop Gamer was very excited and extremely supportive of the two former solo artists linking up to start something new.  Since their interviews and photo shoots, The MaleVsFemale brand is in full swing.  I, personally. have been their from the beginning and it has been amazing to see true art in motion.  Stemming from similar fates in the past, MaleVsFemale has been headstrong and strict with their music that has yet to be release.  Those that have heard their masterpieces knows all to well that it's just a matter of time. 

 From late night practices to runs across the Williamsburg Bridge, the sky is the limit for this amazing duo.  With a few songs under their belt and a music video in the post production, MaleVsFemale hasn't stopped.  They plan to go on for years to come.  A true artist has patience and doesn't know the meaning of giving up.  Being strong hearted  and possessing the will to win keeps your eyes on track.
