btw - I just figured the way I was doing things was inefficient. unefficient? ha. but i'll keep it to one bp a day, thats fine.

Who here works out alone? I just lost my wo buddy. Maybe its better that way.

Hey cindy! I have always worked out alone..until a friend of mine wanted to lose weight and became my gym shadow. I thought I was better off alone*I'm a get in get out girl* but it turns out that I had better workouts with her around!! She leaves soon..so I'll have to get used to being single at the gym again! BTW-love your progress. Hope to see some pics soon!

Keep up the good work!
Linzie

I meet my boyfriend at the gym but I workout alone as well. I like to wear my MP3 player with some good tunes because I don't like to talk or get distracted in the middle of my workouts. But at the same time, if you can find a good workout partner that can be focused as well, that's always good because it helps push you! My BF definitely motivates me when i see how hot he is and I want to get on that level of hotness so that he looks at me the way that I look at him!!!

ha! I had a bad workout partner. I used to workout w/ hubby, but then we got married??? We dont go together anymore. He goes w/ his friend and now I have no one.

It would be nice if the ol' hubby would notice me a little more!

I have read the stickies, and heard you guys talk about Shadow's program. What is the program? The training? Diet? Both? how could I make that work for me?

I am still trying to understand the training, i'll keep reading. Right now I suck and I just dont do alot for back, or chest (gasp), and I'm not sure i understand TUT, but i'll keep reading. I'm just not up to par yet w/ you guys.....

Don't worry about that, a few weeks after this and you'll start to notice changes in your body the way that I have and he'll be noticing in no time I'm on week 5 now and I feel GRRRRRREAT. I have hope than soon enough my bf won't be able to keep his eyes off of me

Shadow's Program is a combination of diet & training.... The Project Summarized sticky is pretty much just the workouts posted so we could find them easily, print them out & take with....

If you don't want to follow his diet to the letter, that's fine -- I'm not, but I use www.fitday.com to track everything I eat & follow a 40/30/30 (P/C/F) ratio pretty much.....

TUT = Time Under Tension, which is how long it takes you to complete a movement. For example a 6 TUT is 6 seconds it should take you to curl a Db from the lower position to the top & back again. (If I understand it correctly!) Feel free to ask any question, any time....

Okay. Well, I was read the program and then tried to follow journals and was getting confused. Thanks for clearing that up. I'll have to read more on that thanks! I'm def. a newbie. Thanks for everyone's patience.
