jackedmom 18 weeks out & counting pics

[jackedmom]

I've decided to do a figure comp in August. Current stats are 5'8" at 154.5 lbs at 23% bf. Goal is to come in close to 130. I'm 18 weeks out now. I'll post new pics in the album every other week. Took about a year off from training and dieting. Just started training again in January---haven't been dieting at all. Gettin' plenty of protein but waaaay too many carbs and fats. Been gradually cleaning up (except for the late night carb munchies...) for the last couple of weeks. Tomorrow I begin the calorie/macronutrient breakdown: gonna eat roughly between 1400 and 1500 calories per day. Doing the 50/30/20 route.

Wish me luck!

Thanks, Sassy. I'm worried bout the old bottom half for the comp though. Can't see it in those pics, but my ass is where I carry all my fat. It's always the last to go. I need to keep all the muscle I've got and drop that ass fat! hehehe. My teenage son took those pics and I didn't want to ask him to take a picture of my ass so I just took one of my lower half in the mirror.

I'll get my old man to take some of my back half and post them up on that album tomorrow. Not sure if I can get that glute ham tie-in tight in time. We'll see where I am at in a few weeks. I can always do a later show if things don't progress well. I'm 100% certain I can get the fat off, I'm actually more concerned with the skin there being loose. That requires a little more time. <Keeping fingers crossed 18 weeks is enough>

Thanks again for the support.

I"ve got the same challenge. What I'm doing all along to help deal w/ this (I'm 7 weeks out right now):

1) All my training days start out w/ this warmup:
- up a set of stairs - up 2 at a time, stepping flat footed on each step, then back down 1 at a time - 10 x. Its like doing a bunch of stepups. I started w/ no weight, but now I'm up to carrying 20 lb dumbbells.
- "Genies" - these are like squats w/ no bar, ass to the floor, going fairly fast (not a squat drop & hold for the muscle building). Currently doing these holding a 10 lb weight 8 sets of 8.
- walking lunges across a room & back (about 15 steps per side) x 4, holding 10 lb dumbbells & hi-stepping on each lunge.

3) I put on Yohimburn & Preperation H on my waist, butt, thighs, wrap it all in a neoprene waist wrap and train, do cardio & sleep in it. The yohimburn does some topical fat burning, the prep H tightens the skin as I'm losing bodyfat so I don't get the saggage.

I'm hitting legs at least twice a week. One leg day is heavy quad work with less emphasis on the hams, glutes, etc. The next leg day is the opposite.

For cardio, I am opting for stair climbing, treadmill with heavy incline, etc. I need to shed some more fat so I can tell whether or not it's working... hard to tell at such a high bf %.

damn estrogen.
