Booty and Legs have got to get....

[jackedmom]

smaller. I'm 10 weeks out and trying my damnest. I've made pretty good progress thus far. Abs show now, etc. but the arse and legs are still a point of contention. I'm doing morning cardio daily now--alternate stepper and treadmill steep incline. Break up legs twice a week--focusing one day hams and the next time quads. Between both days, I do squats (front and/or back), hacks, leg press, walking lunges, extensions, hamstring curls, SLDL and good mornings. I train fairly heavy and stay in the 8-12 rep range...usually going to failure--higher reps for warm-ups.

Diet is tight...is it just time from here on out?

Damn girl! Them's some CRAZY abs! The legs & stuff will come. Just keep 100 % tight & keep pounding on them. Also make sure you are trackign your caliper pinch measures on those areas so you understand where you hold your water.

 

[jackedmom]

What do you recommend for frequency of testing...I don't want to get too crazy with watching it.

 

[Sassy69]

Depends on what's available to you. If you are in contest prep, I'd suggest at least every week. I got it done every 3 days - but that's my trainer. My diet was adjusted every 3 days based on the results. The purpose there was data points. YEs it's a mental thing to deal w/ quantifying how fat you are, but when you are talking contest prep you really need to keep your emotions out of it because you are using this data to help guage where your problem areas are as well as to track if you need to make adjustments to your diet / training / cardio. You can also note if its that time of the month, if you are on the high part of carb cycle or whatever. These data points can help you better understand how your body responds under different conditions. So I guess you will get out of the measurements what you use them for.

Nice abs!

Nope. Is that the topical stuff? I have to be really careful because I have high blood pressure. Fat burners have been a bit of a problem for me. Do you think it would affect blood pressure?

I put this question on the AF store thread at the top for Ulter / Macro to address..
