The funny thing is you had to go look again to FIND them LMAO! LMAO!

actually I have more lats now then I ever did before, I remember trying to practice that pose and it was sooo hard because there was nothing there to flex.

the more I am thinking about it the bulk did me good, and my tummy has gone done a wee tiny little bit today. I just have to concentrate on getting the fat down and then go from there.

Thanks

ps...you must spread some more karma before giving it to hidn again

CK Great job on posting them I thought I'd bump them over. You look great for not exercising for 2 months! Remember the next pics will always be better b/c you have to post them

Per your comment about your tummy, it's really amazing what one week of clean eating will do, then two weeks and so on. Even two days of not eating crap I wake up with abs.. sometimes lol

Great job, I wanna see the glutes

No pictures of this booty, not yet, besides it wouldn't fit into the picture LMAO.

I am going to post more on monday again, I know it is only a week but, I can already feel a change soooo I would like to see if there is actually one or just wishful thinking LOL

Everyone has his/her 'place' .. my calves are watery, even at low BF they are never cut up like they need to be! I get that tire around my belly after a cheat though, seriously looks like a tire... I am amazed at how tight your abs are able to get after having 3 kids.

What do you do for rear delts?
I do bent over raises.

 

[*Bunny*]

HECK YA GF!!!!!!!!!!!
Get out those yoga tapes!!! Do you have any pilates stuff? I have entire windsor set collecting dust I can try to burn them if you want, lemme know

xxoo

 

[ck2006]

What do you do for rear delts?
I do bent over raises.

I sit on my coffee table and bend in half so I am looking at the floor and raise my arms... if that makes any sense. Should I stand and do them?

 

[ck2006]

I still have to buy some yoga tapes, Treil suggested some and I can't find any in the stores. Is pilates the same as yoga?

Only when you have time and if it works that would be AWESOME.

I am also going to try buy some billy banks tapes and see if that will be better for the back. I tried step aerobics a while back and the whole coordination thing was just bad, and I don't think that would help my back either.

One day I will be back at the gym, but for now I am going to try my hardest to do this at home.

 

[*Bunny*]

This may be better for you & your back to take out any potential swinging movement that can go along with standing bent over Rev DB Flyes... the sitting works well too.. try them both ways get a feel for what is good and what bothers yous and run with it... core tight, you are pulling with your rear delts, any shoulder neck tweakage or arm SWING then lower weight. You can always do eccentric holds with the light weights, 5 lbs even are tough for me with those

 

[HiDnGoD]

I sit on my coffee table and bend in half so I am looking at the floor and raise my arms... if that makes any sense. Should I stand and do them?

I like doing the standing. I bend over, horizontal, at the waist, with my knees unlocked & my elbows slightly bent, then pull my arms back. I started doing them like this becasue my gut was never small enough to allow for the sitting version, LOL.

I don't like standing, with every exercise that requires me to bend over standing, I have to be so careful on how I arch my back. Kneeling on the bench to do triceps or bent overs is the same thing but I seem to have more control.


Bunny what are eccentric holds? cause I do think I have to switch to lower weights.

my calves are killing me like they did the very first time I posted on here LOL.

More shopping today, I love it!!! I love the malls at this time of the year.

OK, I hear ya on that.
Sometimes I also like to go with a lighter weight & just lift & hold for a count of 1,2, or 3.
I have the Tae Bo set if you want it, gratis. I bought it from my brother, but it's hard on my knee. I also have some Yoga DVD's but I don't know if they are the same quality as what Bunny would have.

"Sometimes I also like to go with a lighter weight & just lift & hold for a count of 1,2, or 3."

I guess I could also use the term static here... hold the weight at the top of the movement & slowly release without compromising form...

I think you are ok doing these seated, but like the others suggested I would just use lesser weight and have a slower more controlled movement or do the holds... I also always have to go with a lighter weight on these other wise my left shoulder starts acting up (lots of knots in there I think and they start grinding)

Yup, grinding doesn't sound good!

Finished my shopping, just two more gifts to buy tomorrow and go grocery shopping, then the fun begins, wrapping LOL.

My mom said to me today that I'd better start watching what I eat cause I am getting fat again. Not bitching, I told her I started doing cardio again, and I checked the scale today I am down 2 pounds from monday soo something is happening

I have a few taebo tapes - they are challenging. the boot camp dvd's are good - basic moves, lots of stretching before and after - and they are NOT easy. lolol

 

[ck2006]

Ask her to join you 'cause you need help with motivation, LOL. Maybe it'll help her, too.

I have tried, it won't happen until she wants it, which will probably be never. But she does have a treadmill that she does walk on. Since her recent diagnoses I really think it would be beneficial, but again she has to want it. She is trying the atkins diet

The doctor is now sending her pamphlets on quiting smoking, but again, I don't think even with what she has been given she will quit.

The newer Turbo Jam dvds are great too. Not to mention, they are fun. Check out some exercise video sites and read the reviews they've got. I'm thinking of picking up Ab Jam off ebay because I don't work my core enough.

Have a great Sunday, CK!

Don't worry, I am getting used be a hutched over 31 year old with 4 kids. The thing that is frustrating the most is not being able to do things with my kids that I used to, like skating, tobagganing, carrying them, walking, well pretty much everything LMAO.

The way I look at it, it has to get better.

Seriously, one of those things I am just going to have to work around, somehow, some way, I will not let my healthy lifestyle go., for my kids and for myself.

I know, I said I may do it, may not, but my back is continually sore, so I don't know what to do anymore.

I have got to lower my cals some more or something if this continues, cause my weight ain't dropping. and I am just getting squishy.

 

[Roonytunes]

This may be the better way to go, CK. I worry that you shouldn't be training too hard with your current back problems. The back is such an integral piece of the human body that it's just not worth messing up. The damage can stay on for life. Better to live life a little squishy than in complete discomfort...I'll get off my soapbox. Nothin' but

Have a good one!

I know, that is what I am soo struggling with, my diet has been clean, and nothing is happening. I don't know if I am not eating enough or too much or what to do. I want to still lift but with no cardio I don't know how much to eat or not eat??????????????

 

[*Bunny*]

Well maybe start logging all your foods again to see exactly what youre eating & when? I know you are busy but I always go back to that when I want to fix something, start with diet. Even if you cant post it, do it for yourself.. have you been using fitday?
Maybe set up a menu for a week then stick to it all week and see what happens or doesnt happen?, even extend it to two weeks of same menu so you dont have to log everything daily, of course with a cheat meal and see if that helps...

I have been using fitday, I usually end up with 1400-1600 calories.

But how many calories when lifting but with no cardio is what I am struggling with cause I am assuming something should of happened by now.

I noticed you haven't posted a food log in the last couple of pages. What are you eating now? Maybe if you post some details with total macros, we can provide some suggestions. Also, with the holiday season, I'm not sure if you're factoring in cheats and how big they are. But I'm SURE you can do this via diet and less training if need be. It's just not worth getting hurt or injured over.

RT is on the same page
Is that consistant? what does the rice = about 50-60 g complex carbs a day only?

everything is pretty much consistant, except the rice, I just throw that in once in a while, but it is a pain to cook LOL. Not understanding you about the carbs, should I have more?

I actually thought your carb intake would have been a little higher (as far as complex carbs go) ... Im looking at your choices for carbs... the only complex source I saw was rice. Not really worried about cranberries, veggies & apples, I dont see any of those being an issue with storing fat for you.

Need to think...

jepordy. dododododododododo, I will a wait your response, cause this is why I can't understand why for the love of god, even though I haven't been doing a lot of cardio, and I do have my cheat meal once a week I ain't loosing a thing.

If carbs are not an issue

my next thoughts relate to
(1) caloric intake
(2) snacking & size of cheats

Should I be eating way less now? and the cheats, well a philly cheese steak this weekend shopping and even with alllll the baking and cooking I am doing I am being SUCH a good girl it is killing me!!!! All the cookies I am making I don't like anyway, and the food we are preparing for christmas eve, won't be cooked till then so I haven't had any of that.

and I have no snacking, I drink green tea at night again when I get hungry.

and tomorrow is the thing that I wanted to lose some extra baggage around the tummy for sooooo, I am screwed and will just have to go there and NOT take off my jacket LOL. just venting here....

Come january I aim to have no cheat meals what sooo ever except for booze on my b-day and see what happens.

thanks for everyones help

Well you are allowed to have cheat meals & treat yourself.
and NO i do not think going LOWER than 1300 is smart, I was actually thinking it was too low, even with no activity, but Im just going off what I know works for me. Are you around 150 eating 1300?

Nothing looks overly processed, and you are STILL doing SOME activity so I really am kinda baffled. If you are burning WAY more than you are consuming then there is the issue of your body not getting ENOUGH food and storing what you do eat as fat (etc).
When was the last time you had blood work?
When was the last time you changed you diet?

Well I already know I have a low thyroid but not low enough to go on pills but that was 6 months ago. (god I feel like a granni complaining all the time about her aches and pains )

and I weighed myself today 150 pounds, 5'5,.I just switched my diet from the trainers 2 weeks ago I think which was 2100 calories to 1800, 1600, 1400 I am kinda switching back and forth because I am unsure at this point what to do even with the weight training with the competition and everything.

 

[The Shadow]

I have been using fitday, I usually end up with 1400-1600 calories.

But how many calories when lifting but with no cardio is what I am struggling with cause I am assuming something should of happened by now.

Get me up to speed please.


Bodyweight and %age calorie split


I am not a fan of manuipulating a diet AROUND cardio - should be the other way round

Bodyweight this morning 150.0 I have been trying to do your split the 40/30/30 but I haven't perfected it yet.

Also there is a show in April and a show in june, and I want to still do want to do one soooo bad, but unsure as to what to do now, just in case I don't. and I am unsure which one figure or bodybuilding.

My husband (god love him) did not like how big I was getting with the bodybuilding, and I wasn't really that big sooo I stopped pounding the weights, but I keep on telling him that as soon as I cut the majority of it will be gone cause I wasn't that big to begin with.



oh yeah and I just ordered some expensive cardio stuff (YES) lol and I am having a hard time with the cardio due to my back LOL

 

[The Shadow]

sooo I stopped pounding the weights

DING!!!!

Im just telling you......I bet if you got a bf test - you have lost lbm

No i know you are trying to help, I was just trying to clarify so you could help more LOL.

I know I have lost LBM, it completely turning into FAT lol. My kids are even commenting on how I am losing my muscle.

I can't get in till after christmas to get it tested again.

Ok


Muscle burns calories alone

Muscle mass is proportional to level of fat burning

LBM drops - fat loss slows and could possibly turn to fat gain.

LBM and fat arent interchangble..t just seems that way.

Hit the weights again as before for the fat loss to resume.

which program??? LMAO superset, or 3x8 (I do the TUT thingy), calories the same with no cardio? and if I can get cardio in, still keep the calories the same? also if I want to compete just do this until some fat comes off? Just printed off your spreadsheet, I have to substitute some exercises cause this is at home.

 

[*Bunny*]

I also think it's important to realize that you are not eating to get huge so you cannot get 'huge' ... lifting heavy at 2200 cals (which for you was a bulk if i remember), ok MAYBE that would add a little more muscle than you wanted.


CK - I you girl, but lemme ask you to clarify here ..."know I have lost LBM, it completely turning into FAT lol."

If I misread this slap me please... LBM cannot turn into fat, they are two completely different things.

Fat cells increase & decrease (unless you have lipo & get the physcially removed)
Muscles increase & decrease (I still dont think they can be 'toned') so with lack of use your muscles probably atrophied and loss of LBM definintely possible.

I know whatcha mean, my muscles went down is all I was saying, the real fat is around the tummy area as seen from my pics. Sorry, just feel fat is all.

and I know what your saying about the "HUGE" factor, but my husband didn't like the way I started looking, he said I was getting too big, and I know I wasn't THAT big, but he really didn't like the physique I was getting, if you know what I mean.... blah, blah.

40/30/30 11 times weight in cals EVERYDAY regardless of cardio.


This is good as it the third time the last few days I have seen folks varying cals AROUND exercise.

It makes zero sense to do that...I mean - I see where that option looks like a winner - but it isnt.

Alright so 1650 calories everyday! so this sounds like a really stupid question but i have to ask, IF i loose weight, do I start timesing the new weight by 11? or keep it constant 1650 until I see no more weight drop?

Ok you cant keep nuts or PB around right?

oh gosh, yes I can I have two tubes of pb and nuts galore. Why should I add that?

 

[*Bunny*]

Your fats could be a little higher IMO. Do you eat AFTER your work out? Also wondering if you should nix the flax for bfast... wondering what others think about that. I prefer carbs + Protein, not really fat for 1st meal..

Ahh the infamous ab routine! Glad you are getting things figured out! Agree with Bunny on the fat thing.... How does your body respond to dairy as well?! Another thing to watch out for.

I did those yesterday as well, kick my butt everytime I had to flip flop them for last two sets to make sure the scissors got it just as bad & the bicycles.

Ah yes.....


My ab super set favorite - that goes back a LONG time.....works due to the tut involved......

On your diet question......keep cals constant until you stop losing...if you tried to drop them weekly....it would drive you crazy.

EX



if you lost 2 pounds in a week...that means dropping 20 cals daily for the next week.....that is so within the standard scale and nutritional packaging error that it's negligible.


doing 8 reps doesnt mean you are building LBM btw.

How long is each rep??


Unless you are at at least 5 seconds per rep.....you arent in the right groove

just started and came up for some water, so what am I building LOL? how many reps should I do?

Lord I am sooo lost, I gotta do a lot more research LOL.

Thank you for responding to my question about the calories.

going to have to again, tried the sissors, I know I did them wrong, I didn't feel a thing, they were way to easy????

Key is to keep heels about 6-9 inches off the ground...that means the legs have to be straight.......increases the resistance and when you do the bicycles...upper body has to be in motion as well...elbow to opposite knee
