Thanks so much Roonybadgergrl said:It's not looking like I will make it. I was planning on coming, but I have too much stuff going on. My mom is in the hospital, and I have a lot of stuff to take care of that I neglected during contest prep.

GREAT to hear from you & that you are ok ... the ladies totally can relate if you need some advice, guidance, or just an ear to rant to during these food fits ...

Still so sorry to hear about moms![]()
Intense workouts are good ... did you take a break since the show or have you kept them consistant? Moderation has no place in my diet unless it's one cheat meal a week when I'm "cutting" or "maintaining" ...
You'll get through this .. how can we help?
I can totally relate to the balance issue ...badgergrl said:Thanks Bunny. You're the best.
My workouts have been the only thing that's been consistant. I tried to take a week off, but I didn't know what to do with myself. `
I really need to formulate a new game plan. Does anyone have input on that?I want to stay somewhat lean (until it gets cold and I can hide my blubber, but my goal is to add some size on my legs and shoulders.
Maybe 1800 cals?
Most of all, I need to learn how to have balance in my life, but that is something I'll probably be forever searching for.

*Bunny* said:I can totally relate to the balance issue ...
Honestly, for training, you can consider the one body part a day plan as Shadows plan encompasses & he often suggests (sorry don't mean to speak for him) I think that would be good for maintainence if you are looking for something fresh, new & gets you in the gym 5-6 days a week ... to keep the mind busy. Just tweak as needed. As for diet, 12-15 cal range for mini bulk? even up to 18? Clean bulk? Dirty Bulk?
I put size on both legs & delts, as well as lats by hitting them hard ... re: legs ... doing alot of stair work, weighted steps up, plyo's, sprints ( I didn't ever do squats really although atf can help round the booty as well*credit to my friend Mak* ) .. I hit alot of wide grip to pull out lats & left a day for shoulders alone these days ... Sometimes I hit chest / back, shoulders / bis & tris, and split legs for training although I do not think you have to split them .. . (hitting each twice a week) but I just did alot of experimentation & my body responded well to it as well as to change coming off the Shadow Plan. My body also likes the random Giant Set every so often
Sorry this is all over but throwing some ideas at you ...![]()
Hey Badger! I'm right there with you on your goal. I'm trying to add size without increasing my bf. I find that I have to eat "mostly" clean but I give myself a NICE break on the weekendsbadgergrl said:Thanks Bunny. You're the best.

I find that I have to eat "mostly" clean but I give myself a NICE break on the weekendsI'm up a few lbs pretty much the same bf. Hate to say it, but I haven't bothered with fitday for a couple of months now. What are your stats now? Is 1800 12, 13, 15, etc. x your bodyweight? I think body type matters too. Some will say it doesn't, but an endo will have a much harder time losing bf than a meso or ecto....so I really do think it counts.
Sorry to hear mom is still in the hospital, but it's good to hear she WILL be ok eventually.![]()
Hey you!!! Well I'm not scorp but I'm adding my own .02 cents anyways hehe...badgergrl said:I weigh 135 now (almost 15 lbs since show) so 1800 cals is like 13x my bw. I think I'm a mesomorph.
What do you do for cardio now Scorp? I was thinking like 2 or 3 20 min. pwo sessions a week? You think that's enough?
A way to gage if you're a meso.....hour glass! lol I've been playing with my cardio a little bit these days, but when I was cutting I would do 3-4 20 min. HIIT sessions a week and that was just dandy!badgergrl said:I weigh 135 now (almost 15 lbs since show) so 1800 cals is like 13x my bw. I think I'm a mesomorph.

badgergrl said:I know it's been a hella long time since I posted. I've been peeping in from time to time. Life has really gotten to me lately. Mom's still in the hospital, but eventually will be OK even though she's been through hell.
It's been a struggle for me to find a balance in my diet since competition dieting is over. I'm really not good at moderation, so I either go totally strict or eat like a pig. Lately it's been like every other day I switch between the two. Training has been on though. I've been super strong...workouts have been intense.
Trying to get back on track......I'll try to get around to everyone's logs.

HIIT sessions a week and that was just dandy!Since you're not cutting, I would say 2-3x a week would probably work for you.....given that your diet and training are both in check too, of course.

How you doing with the post comp mental thing? ....oh yah, hide your blubber!!!! RIIIIGHT - I think NOT! lol
And I HARDLY doubt you're a fat @$$ hun!!! Especially not at 135... thats what I weigh too .......
Hope the reply made sense enough to ya sbt2082 said:And what about my input there little misseyI added my own .02 cents too
And I HARDLY doubt you're a fat @$$ hun!!! Especially not at 135... thats what I weigh too .......
I'm an apple too... We could make apple sauce if we run fast enough at each other and collidebadgergrl said:I don't know about hour glass...I've always been pretty middle-heavy...apple shaped I guess it's called.
I'm a total mental case, but I don't know if I can blame that entirely on post comp.Getting fatter is messing with my head though. You know, it's hard when you're used to seeing yourself for months all cut...but it's just not realistic or doable to stay like that all the time. I feel like a total fat ass, but I know I'll get over that. Thanks for your input Scorp

I know girlie... Thats why I went back and edited my postbadgergrl said:Well, if you check your pms you will see that I tried to respond to your .02, but I was having technical difficulties![]()
I like your ideas of varying the kinds of cardio.....I'm sick to death of running on the treadmill. I don't want to overdo it w/ the cardio, though. I'm not trying to lose bf at this point, just maintaining, and since I'm doing a little mini bulk, I don't want to risk catabolism from too much cardio.
I know in my head I'm not really fat, but it's just hard adjusting. 135 may not seem like much weight, but I was 122 3 weeks ago

Great point Jens. Badger ... hang in there girljenscats5 said:I know it's difficult, but it's not realistic or healthy to stay at competition weight all the time.....Just try & think of this as the next evolution in your journey.....


Ditto!!!scorpiogirl said:update? how's it going, BG?![]()

badgergrl said:OK! I thought about starting a new journal, but I'm not ready to part with this one. I've been really unmotivated since my show, which was 2 months ago today.
I've still been lifting hard, but eating like shit.
So...I've gained 20 pounds!! I know some of it is to be expected, but I don't want to put on too much and make it more difficult for me to cut again. I definitley want to do another show in the Spring. So, for now I'm bulking...but clean.
I've learned that I can't do anything half-ass, or I totally fall off the wagon.
Here we go again!!!!!!!

badgergrl said:Thanks girls!!
I'll check out the threads on Shadow's plan. I'll probably go with the 40/30/30. My workouts are good, but I need to start doing cardio again. I'm thinking three sessions a week.
I'll start logging the food and workouts again Sunday or Monday.
You wil do more than fine,if you decide to do Shadow's Plans...badgergrl said:Thanks girls!!

*Bunny* said:Oh honey You are NOT fat ... You just look softer is all... a few weeks of eating clean and you will see SUCH a difference. You have a great shape IMO. Your arms delts & gluts are fab.
Look at the waist in the back dbl bi? Pulls in so nicely!
You're back training, eating better, this will only get easier for you. Nice work Badge & GREAT JOB on posting the pics. I see alittle added muscle in your future![]()
Girl I know this feeling u r not alone... I am in your same boat! I want to say it takes a bit of guts to post off season pictures and knowing what you looked like on stage back in July. Good Job! People only want to post cutting pictures... I know that feeling all to well. I did post some during my last season bulk. I will in due time this year as well...badgergrl said:Oh thank you, you sweet sweet bunny!![]()
It's so hard to eat clean again after taking some time off. I don't understand how I was so disciplined before, but so not now.![]()

jenscats5 said:I don't think you're "fat" at all, but I understand what you mean & how you feel......once you've had an "on season" the off-season/normal becomes not normal & can be hard to get used to.....
Try to use this stage as a means to an end or a new stage of your
training.....
