Short1 - Bodybuilding Competition Log

[the-short-one]

It is great you are posting picture so we can see you transformation. Your legs are amazing. I can't imagine shopping for pants. I have a hard time finding pants that fit me and my legs are not as muscular (not even close).

I think I started a thread about a year ago regarding this topic. many women on this board have problems finding jeans that fit. designers think all women are rail thin with no ass, apparently.

Shoulders


GIANT SET 5 CYCLES

Side laterals - (TUT=8)
3 x 8/10lb dbs
2 x 8/12lb dbs

STANDING dumbell press (TUT = 8)
5 x 8/20lb dbs - I struggled on the last set

SEATED incline lateral front raises 5-8 reps - (TUT = 8)
5 x 6/10lb dbs - struggled on all of these

ROPE CABLE upright rows (TUT = 8).....I think these are doable with the rope...if they irritate the shoulder...switch to dumbell uprights...

cable upright row worked out OK. I twisted my wrists inward so my palms faced almost out and it kept my left shoulder from popping

1 x 8/40
1 x 8/50
2 x 8/60
1 x 8/70 - OW

Shoulder Press MACHINE (TUT=8)
2 x 8/60
1 x 8/70
2 x 6/80

JUMP ROPE - 5 minutes

I learned tonight that you use your shoulders when you jump rope. Our Shadow is so sneaky. Shoulders burn BAD by the end of all those exercises. I was thinking I'd get a break from the pain while jumping rope, but NO. the little rotation your wrists do to keep the rope moving also keeps your shoulders BURNING. oi. Plus, jumping rope REALLY gets the heart pumping.

by my last cycle, I kept tripping over the rope - meaning that I was TIRED.

workout rating = 7.

My legs are starting to stiffen up - mainly my glutes/hams. even my calves are sore.

by the looks of you, I'd say you have problems getting those hulking arms through a regular shirt.

Are t-shirts sized L, XL, XXL etc. across the pond, or do they size them differently?

Yes, S, M, L, XL, XXL etc. I think women's clothing has numbers but it's too complicated for any man to explain.

FANTASTIC JOB!!!


Those pics look GREAT!!!


REALLY a lot of definition in inner/upper back and the glutes/hams are getting that clean deleniation line.

Those workouts are impressive folks.....you guys really dont understand the sort of effort those extended TUT giant sets take.

WELL DONE!!


Oh yeah - I LOVE NickleB as well.

Just a quick note for those who might have missed it:


S. has some shoulder issues......so my primary objective is getting her prepped without wrecking the shoulder even more.....in fact my goal is to actually get it in the best condition possible WHILE doing the show prep.


To accomplish this:

1 - we are going to use two types of intensity phasing......well one really - TUT...this allows her to get the muscle under an appropriate load time for hypertrophy without using weight as the only stimulus

2 - choice of exercises......adding in rotational delt exercises will shore up any weak areas in the overall delt musculature and will also add in some detail.



Also - imo - her routines are more "basic" than a lot of competition plans at this point out. I dont have her doing any direct calf work - yet her calves are getting sore.

We arent doing a "glute" machine either - but its obvious that her booty/hams atre getting tighter each week.

We also arent doing the higher rep bullshit that I see either.

There is a certain TUT range for building muscle...and that IS the objective here....even on reduced calories.....why some trainers want their clients doing high reps before a show is a mystery.

now that I'm doing TUT, I've become aware of how FAST everyone else moves through their exercises. I'm sure I look like I'm stuck in slow motion, but everyone else looks a little comical to me at this point. Many people cheat by using momentum - and think they've really worked that muscle. case in point:

MY Jeff. Last night he was doing DB chest press on flat bench. 75lb dumbells. He wasn't completing the full range of motion and he was moving pretty fast so he could get to rep#12 or something. After he was done, I asked him to try them again with a 6TUT - 3 up/3 down. He barely managed 2 reps.

He lowered his weight to 40 so that he could do a full 8 reps, and I saw him doing a 6TUT the rest of the night in all his exercises. This morning, he says his chest is really sore for the first time. (chest is his lagging body part.)

 

[The Shadow]

PERFECT!!!!!


TELL HIM FANTASTIC JOB

As long as the total TUT(reps times total number of seconds per rep) is 40-60 - he will add lbm assuming diet is tight.

yeah - his diet is tight, although I can't get him to eat enough. I'm trying to work more calorie dense foods into his diet to try and compensate.
