Short1 - Bodybuilding Competition Log

[sbt2082]

Welcome back girl!!!

 

[The Shadow]

the pictures look great.....there is a noticable difference between the first and the last pic.

So.....down another 1.5 pounds......that is where I thought you would be....right at 150.

Things are well on track.


Expect to be 147-8ish after this week of training.

I love your log. You look amazing. I feel weak when looking at the weights you use.

I agree with the cardio. I am not a bodybuilder but I starting working out doing tons of cardio (3 hours a day). My body didn't change until I fixed the diet and focused on lifting weights.

It is great that you are posting your food, supplements and workouts. It helps to see the whole picture and not just the workouts.

One question I have is what do you mean when you say TUT?

Happy New Year!

well, hello!

here's a fantastic thread regarding TUT.

glad you're enjoying my log and I haven't bored you to tears. yet.

keep in mind that every body is different. Miss24K and I are the same height, but I've got a 30lbs on her. Our diet/weight/cardio routines are entirely different as well, because we have different goals.

what works for me (especially this comp diet/training) will not work for you. Shadow has my training/diet tuned in just for me in this log. If you haven't checked out "the shadow plan" - you should. It's on the first page of the women's forum. One of the few recommendations that I can make to you is to use it as a starting point.

Others would be:

get to know body. know every ache, pain, twinge, etc. if you're just starting to usesuppliments, don't take a bunch of different ones at the same time. You need to know how your body reacts to each one before adding something else. Same with a new diet. gradually ease yourself into it, and see how your body rsponds. Who knows? You may not have to be as strict as you think with your diet in order to lose body fat, plus it will be easier to stay with it.

don't take blind advice at the gym. lolol ...guys will give you advice on what to take, what exercises to do, what to eat, etc. ignore them. research everything for yourself (this site is full of good info) because you (hopefully by now) know your body.

don't take any AAS unless you've researched the hell out of it and have a goal set/reason to take it. losing a few pounds is not a good reason. don't take clen because you heard Nicole Ritchie takes it. If you are not competing, modeling, etc - there's really no reason to take anything, because the only effects that are permanent from AAS usage are some of the sides.



oh, I almost forgot. 3 hours of cardio??? holy crap. STAY AWAY FROM THE TREADMILL.

Thanks for the input. I will read the thread on TUT. I had the problem with too much advice at the gym. I was being pulled in different directions. If I followed one guy's advice, the other one would be upset. I now have a trainer outside the gym. He writes my programs and I follow it exactly as written. It took away a lot of stress from the guys pushing me around. I have a hard time sticking up for myself.

My trainer only has me do cardio twice a week. One steady state and one HIIT day and changes my volume weekly. He felt I was overtrained (guilty) and really straightened me out. The one time I asked to add something, I got quite the lecture on overtraining.

I am going to be switching powerlifting federation to one that does drug testing so no AAS for me. But I find it interesting to read about and am not against it.

I like your trainer. When you get a chance, PM me about power lifting. I've never watched a competition, so am curious.

S makes some great points.

THIS program is specifically desgined for HER.


Anyone thinking of simply using it and hoping to make gains will be most sadly mistaken.

You can't take what works for one and assume it works for everyone....S and I have been talking shop for a LONG time before this thread - so I know what works for HER

__________________

AM Cardio
treadmill
HIIT:
All-out Interval - 30 seconds
Recovery Interval - 60 seconds
10 minute warmup/10 intervals/10 minute cooldown

This felt really good. I was all sweaty and out of breath, but wanted to do more.

ABS
3 Giant sets

Hanging leg raises
Swiss ball crunches
Decline crunches(sit ups)
Lying Leg Scissors(alternate which leg goes over and which goes under)
Bicycle(with upper body motion - touching alternate knees and elbows)

by the 3rd set, I couldn't make 30 seconds, except for the last 2 excercises. the ab workout kicked my ass. Haven't done abs for a while.
-------

PM workout

Chest

GIANT SET: Run one cycle with as little rest as possible between exercises.....rest 5 minutes vetween cycles - do 5 total cycles

Incline Dumbell Press(TUT = 8)
5 x 8/20 lb dbs

Incline DB Flyes (TUT = 8)
1 x 8/20 lb dumbels
4 x 6/20lb dumbells

Feet Elevated Pushups
1 x 12
1 x 10
2 x 8

Cable Cross-overs(or pec dec) (TUT=8)
damn firemen had the cables the whole time I was there. Firemen at the gym usually = eye candy for me, but tonight I was just annoyed. used pec dec.
1 x 8/50
1 x 8/60
3 x 6/80


...and holy shit. this was a tough workout. made even tougher by people staring at me for doing the slooooowwww reps. the 5 second negative was hard - but it made me really stretch through the whole motion of the exercise. that I liked. I think I was closer to 4 on the negatives for the pushups and the presses.

workout rating = 8. me = happy.

a woman at the gym told me tonight that she loved my ass. she said it with a kind of crazed look on her face. like she'd been stalking me. lolol

anyone who just admired my glutes would have said "glutes", right? not "i love your ass"

Jeff teased me by telling me that she was going to follow me into the locker room showers. oi. She was kind of scary. In a skinny, but very manly way. lololol I think I'm going to pretend that she "admired" my glutes and leave it at that. I see her in the gym almost every night.
