Short1 - Bodybuilding Competition Log

Shorty you got the front bacl double bi down great as well as the side chest. The lats look better but IMO you need to be placing your hands down a little lower in the front pose it will make the X more pronounced. Lat pose is getting better for sure but I know you got more back then you showing in the pics keep working on it. You look great for sure see you leaning out more through your hams.

when I put my hands lower, my last disappear. I can't seem to make them stretch out as well...
 
Shorty...try this when you read this:

As you are sitting there...place your right hand over you flet and place them both....fingers down with your palms are about bellybutton level.....again - fingers down.

Flex your abs.....


now PUSH with your hands REALLY HARD...you will feel the lats tense....


NOW - sit up totally straight



Do you feel how the lats respond when doing that??
 
Just wanted to say...

Relaxed poses - I can almost guarantee they will tell you heels together.... And mostly just shoulders up, chest out - make your shoulders / delts the wide point and let your arms hang from there. To get more flex out of your legs w/o actually flexing them while standing "relaxed", grab the floor w/ your toes --- makes the flexing happen w/o the pose.

Lat spread- agree w/ QT -- check that pic I attached of Elena for an excellent rear lat spread and work to emulate that - it really shows everything.

ok. I'm working on it again today, and will take more pics.
 
also - I'm kind of on my own with this. The guy at the gym who was supposed to help me is away with a family problem, and no one else here knows what they're doing. I'm finding it difficult to accomplish some of these poses without some hands on help. It's frustrating. - I know how it's supposed to look, butgetting my body to do the same is proving difficult.


Do I have any of the poses correct? lolol
 
the-short-one said:
Ok.....tough part is over.



That hand positioning is REALLY lose to the contracted position for lats....


Work on hitting that hand postion several time today and holding for 15-20 seconds each time....each time reducing the amount of pressing with the hands...this will teach lat control......

As you use less and less pressure....slide the hands outward.

ex - they are initially on top of each other

next time....side by side

next time - 2 inches between them.



...this is a very easy way to get the lats to respond and develop that mind-muscle link


Try it several times and then go hit a lat spread in a mirror and you will see a HUGE difference bythe end of the day

will do.


thank you.
 
Mitch got knocked out of the spelling bee about 1/2 way through. He got nervous and spelled "thank" wrong. T-H-A-N-G. :D

He's only 6 - I'm just happy he was chosen for it in the first place. They took the 2 top spellers from each class...

It took me a full 6 months to learn to pull my lats out (now I cant keep them down LOL). What I found to be helpfull was doing tons of lat spreads between sets on back day, starting from my elbows being pinned behind me practically touching in back to slowly bringing them forward - hands above my hips pinching my waste hard. Did I explain that adequately?

Yes - you did...and thanks. I'm going to work on this today.

I'm usually pretty quick to pick things up - this is frustrating. I feel like such a :nerd:

---------
 
we are going to work on lat flexibility which, looking at the posing, is a definite area to work on - that starts next week.

I feel you. SIX MONTHS before I could do it without starting with my elbows pinched behind my back!

Now I can pull my lats out regardless of what position my arms are in. You sort of push your shoulders down - your elbows out (without moving your limbs, only moving the muscles on your torso) and deep breath in, chest up. Next thing you know - you are ILS woman!!! ta-dahhhhhhhhh!!



hehehehheheeee
 
ILS!!!

LMAO



Yep....lats take a LOT of practice......think about it....its literally 1/4 of you body that you are trying to get arranged.....

Just so you know...I tried it too!!!
Yes like a real fool...
Fool proof...IT works!

Jeff

Debbie Bramwell said she'd be there - she lives in San Diego.

if you're talking about other competitors, I have no friggen clue.
 
No idea yet - only thing scheduled is the Arnold - is that 2 weeks prior? May have some CA-bound opportunities in chute by then - no idea yet....
 
Shorty if I had the fundage to go I will so be there to cheer you on! I will be cheering from Canada very loadly. :qt:

lol - I was thinking about my statment above that my friends had deserted me. Probably, they feel the same way about me.

my friends = 1 bar manager, 2 bar owners, and a group of wimmen who have never touched foot inside a gym

sally = non drinker for over a year. I had a glass of wine in October, and promptly fell asleep. :D Had a hangover the next day. Thus endeth my drinking.


when we do visit (which is by phone because I'm all over the state), I get the guilt trip because I don't "hang out" with the girls anymore. Why don't I? - because they wind up getting shit faced and I just can't hang anymore. By choice - bb and drinking just don't mix.

I'm at a disadvantage living in the West. All you muscle wimmins are on the east side of the Mississippi.

What would be convenient for me:

All of you do the same show and I'll fly in to see it. :D Kill alota birds with one stone, so to speak.
 
TSO - I think you're looking GREAT!! I think you're going to do awesome....

I've heard once you get the lat spread to click in your head, then you've got it down....
 
Shorty - heard a rumor this was good....

"Protein Brownie ( chocolate protein powder with enough water to batter consistancy) nuke a minute or so till it raises, drizzle with Walden Farms sugar free Caramel or Chocolate sauce...orgasmic "

Hence my ? on the Lean Dessert Fudge.....

I'll go nuke some right now. lolol I don't have any sauce, but I can experiment for you. All in the name of science...

omg - it totally worked. lolol

I put 1 scoop in a bowl and added just enough water to make it like batter. Nuked it for 50 seconds. It's not as sweet when nuked, but it worked, dammit!!!!

wow.

go try this.
 
have to share something:


740JB0521.jpg


this woman works out at the gym here in Prescott. Kate Cooper. She came in 12th at nationals as a light-heavy last year. I saw her at the gym, and heard her talk. She could give Bary White a run for his money.


your thoughts:

your thoughts:
You know my rules, dear ... is she happy? I can have no other standards since I am not a bodybuilding judge :qt:

But just an observation ... I think that lady, no matter how intensely dedicated, if she has her heart set on BB competition she is fighting the hand her genetics dealt her.
 
Damn short stuff! I just checked out the new pics...lookin' jacked!!
You're gonna do awesome! What is the date of your show?

I have this to say about her - her back is fantastic. I saw it at the gym and thought it was a man. Unfortunately, when she turned around she looked like a man as well...and then she spoke, and I had one of those moments. lolol A 'wtf am I doing?' moment. I want this pretty bad, but do I want it that bad? :worried:

It bothered me for a few days. I haven't seen her since December, but I think about her all the time.

I know I'm getting weird. Sorry.

Caligirl and I have our show on March 17. :) She's going to tower over me in her clear plastic heels. (She'd tower over me, anyway - but especially in the heels.)

I'll have to order some of that protein powder now......Maybe 1 packet of Splenda would help the sweetness??

So kewl!! Thanks for experimenting!!

Its one thing to do your first show, its another to go back & do it again. Some people get hooked & take each show as a challenge to themselves. Some people make a career out of chasing the Ms. O title. There are some amateurs who get the pro card & hang up their suit w/ the title to their name and settle into a very happy non-competing pro life. Others, once they get their pro card, fall back to the bottom of the barrel but on the pro level now.

Every step of the way is a choice of do I continue, is it worth it / or no. Always make sure first & foremost you are competing for yourself. Ultimately you have what God gave you and what you do with it. The girl above will forever be plagued by no boobs first of all. She also has some weird proportions and is very thick in the waist. She also looks like she has the beef such that the 20% softer thing goes against her. She'd look a lot better if she were ripped up some more w/ a little more on her legs. And that doesnt' even go to her chemical enhancement.

But the cool thing is that as long as you are making your primary goal to compete with yourself and be objective about each achievement, you can also stop or pick it back up at any time. That is the one and only important thing to keep in mind. If you get caught up into the more drugs is better, if only I were a little bigger, etc etc etc, then you end up being able to provide the bass part of your local church choir. The criteria for when is it enough, when am I satisfied, when is it worth the sacrifice is all of those things --- because at the end of the day, what is your reward? Even the top people don't exactly have a ripping career unless you're into muscle porn. There's little or no money in it and you will forever have to deal w/ the rest of the mainstream world who basically just stare for a minute, make some dumbass comment and then move on. So... all u gotta do is make yourself happy.

Me personally - you have no idea how bad I"ve wanted to be good enough to feel like I belong on the stage at the Southern States show - 6 yrs at least. TO do a national show was a big fucking deal too. But I also now have a problem in every major joint in my body. I never liked the ups & downs of the fat, I've always had problems cutting down enough in the waist, mostly I don't like being big and yet I'm still 20 lb under weight for competition. Its harder & harder to get the fat off and everything hurts more & more. HOwever the "doing" of the prep has become much more doable for me as far as diet misery, etc, so mentally I'm much more well-prepared. Goals-wise - well - no more BB. Competition-wise - is it important to me to be able to compete, and if yes, is figure sufficiently satisfying to me? No idea. I also have several things I'm trying to accomplish in my personal life because I just can't wait for things to work out the right way any more. But the opportunity to compete is ALWAYS there... there's always another show. I think that is what mostly keeps things in perspective for me. Its not a race to keep getting bigger bigger more more more, etc. Its always there & balance in your life will pay you back more than anything if you can keep that while exploring the world of competition. :)

I can't work out anymore without people interupting me to talk. Head phones no longer help. It was a group of fireman this time. I saw them coming...they were standing across the gym in a little group whipsering and staring like little school girls. lolol Most of the time, I get favorable feedback from strangers, but there is the occasion when people criticize and I was unsure what this was going to be.

One of them finally got the courage to interrupt me, and the others trailed behind. Guess what question he asked? (I'll give you three guesses, but you're only going to need one...)

"How can I get my abs to look like yours" :D

this was followed by:

"how do you get so lean and not lose muscle mass"
"are you competing?"
"what do you eat?"
"how much cardio do you do"

...and so on. holy :cow: . I should have charged a seminar fee. lolol They were nice, and I made sure I was, too - even tho I was eyeing the clock because my 1 minute rest period had expired 10 minutes ago. All of them were in good shape, and they didn't ask any stupid questions like I sometimes get. I skirted around the question regarding getting lean without losing mm. lolol I didn't want to tell a bunch of fireman I was taking steroids and GH. :D

When I left the gym, they were still there and waved like crazy to me. "See you tomorrow!" lolololol

ok. story finished. now we can talk about how sore I am. my legs are still sore, but I'm noticing it more in my inner thighs. shoulders sore, lats still a little sore. I pretty much hurt all over. feels good.

Way to shred down, you are going to kill them! What is your bodyfat level right now, have you done it recently?


I don't know. I'm not keeping track, really. I just know that I still have leaning to do. Shadow mentioned 9-10%
 
LOL @ the firemen........sounds like a little group of clucking hens.....
 
,,, well it may have been a few yrs but I think at least one of the old Gladiators off TV was one -- this is obviously going back a few yrs - but the Phx firefighters were avant garde that way.

I made this with milk this morning. :) I held back about 1/2 a scoop mixed with enough milk to make it like fudge sauce and poured it over the "brownies". mmmm.


My only concern with this is that I think cooking protein powder might break it down somehow. Does anyone know if heating it damages the protein?

I've heard conflicting statements on this one.....so I don't know conclusively.....

But even if it DID - if it's tasty, it's a much better chocolate fix than cake.....

LOW CABLE CROSSOVERS - the pulley needs to be 8-10 inches form the floor...sometimes that is position one...sometimes two.....step one step away from the pulley....cross over and UP top to eye level.....if these are too hard...move an incline bench set at 30-45 degrees and so them that way......in addition to the normal TUT of 4 - ADD A ONE SECOND SQUEEZE

PEC DEC - unilaterally.....move each arm to the fully contracted position(ie - until arm wont swing anymore......in addition to the TUT of 4 - ADD A ONE SECOND SQUEEZE

REVERSE DIPS - like the modified pulldowns....you get on a set of dip bars....arms extended....by allowing the midback muscles to relax WHILE YOUR ARMS ARE LOCKED.....you will drop a few inches.....contract the midback muscles(TRAPS) to get back to the fully extended position. AT THE BOTTOM...your traps should be in the same postion as the top part of a shrug.

Every step of the way is a choice of do I continue, is it worth it / or no. Always make sure first & foremost you are competing for yourself. Ultimately you have what God gave you and what you do with it. The girl above will forever be plagued by no boobs first of all. She also has some weird proportions and is very thick in the waist. She also looks like she has the beef such that the 20% softer thing goes against her. She'd look a lot better if she were ripped up some more w/ a little more on her legs. And that doesnt' even go to her chemical enhancement.

But the cool thing is that as long as you are making your primary goal to compete with yourself and be objective about each achievement, you can also stop or pick it back up at any time. That is the one and only important thing to keep in mind. If you get caught up into the more drugs is better, if only I were a little bigger, etc etc etc, then you end up being able to provide the bass part of your local church choir. The criteria for when is it enough, when am I satisfied, when is it worth the sacrifice is all of those things --- because at the end of the day, what is your reward? Even the top people don't exactly have a ripping career unless you're into muscle porn. There's little or no money in it and you will forever have to deal w/ the rest of the mainstream world who basically just stare for a minute, make some dumbass comment and then move on. So... all u gotta do is make yourself happy.

Me personally - you have no idea how bad I"ve wanted to be good enough to feel like I belong on the stage at the Southern States show - 6 yrs at least. TO do a national show was a big fucking deal too. But I also now have a problem in every major joint in my body. I never liked the ups & downs of the fat, I've always had problems cutting down enough in the waist, mostly I don't like being big and yet I'm still 20 lb under weight for competition. Its harder & harder to get the fat off and everything hurts more & more. HOwever the "doing" of the prep has become much more doable for me as far as diet misery, etc, so mentally I'm much more well-prepared. Goals-wise - well - no more BB. Competition-wise - is it important to me to be able to compete, and if yes, is figure sufficiently satisfying to me? No idea. I also have several things I'm trying to accomplish in my personal life because I just can't wait for things to work out the right way any more. But the opportunity to compete is ALWAYS there... there's always another show. I think that is what mostly keeps things in perspective for me. Its not a race to keep getting bigger bigger more more more, etc. Its always there & balance in your life will pay you back more than anything if you can keep that while exploring the world of competition. :)

*steps back from the podium*

lol...

I'm sorry - I missed your pst when I was doing my log.

I understand all of these things. I just had "a moment" that was bad. It's been the only one, thank goodness.

I never told anyone about it until now. It was something I just kept thinking about and decided I should get off my chest.

Recovery week


TUT = 4 on all exercises(2 second positive:2 second negative unless otherwise listed).......


ALL SETS ARE STRAIGHT SETS.....ONE MINUTE REST BETWEEN SETS



Chest - 4 SETS ON ALL 12 REPS

LOW CABLE CROSSOVERS - the pulley needs to be 8-10 inches form the floor...sometimes that is position one...sometimes two.....step one step away from the pulley....cross over and UP top to eye level.....if these are too hard...move an incline bench set at 30-45 degrees and so them that way......in addition to the normal TUT of 4 - ADD A ONE SECOND SQUEEZE

PEC DEC - unilaterally.....move each arm to the fully contracted position(ie - until arm wont swing anymore......in addition to the TUT of 4 - ADD A ONE SECOND SQUEEZE


HIGH INCLINE DUMBELL PRESS - BENCH AT 45-60 DEGREES - make sure you complete each rep at eye level..as you get tired you will want to drop towards your feet.



Back - 4 SETS ON ALL 12 REPS

STIFF ARM PULLDOWNS

SEATED CABLE ROWS WITH ROPE - PULLING HIGH(BETWEEN CHEST AND CHIN)

MODIFIED WIDE GRIP PULLDOWNS(SHRUG DOWNS).......take a shoulder width grip on bat and FULLY extend ares so that they are straight. KEEP ARMS STRAIGHT and attemp to do the first 1/5 of a pulldown.....by rotating the shoulder a bit...you will be able to move the bar just a few inches......start with 50% of your normal pulldown weight...once you get the feel......you can top out at over 100% of the your normal pulldown weight.

REVERSE DIPS - like the modified pulldowns....you get on a set of dip bars....arms extended....by allowing the midback muscles to relax WHILE YOUR ARMS ARE LOCKED.....you will drop a few inches.....contract the midback muscles(TRAPS) to get back to the fully extended position. AT THE BOTTOM...your traps should be in the same postion as the top part of a shrug.


CHIN BAR HANGS......wide grip on a chinning bar - use wrist straps if necessary....do hangs as long as possible...be sure to completely decompress with each set....obviously no reps....just a hold on as long as possible.




Legs 4 SETS ON ALL 12 REPS

HACKS - feet high, wide and toes pointing out at 45 degrees.....curls your toes under to remind yourself to push from the heels.

DUMBELL STEP UPS - on a bench(or cardio risers) - do ALL REPS for one leg...then switch off

SEATED LEG CURLS(toes pointed OUT) - in addition to the 4 TUT - hold for an extra ONE SECOND

LYING LEG CURLS - (toes pointed in) - 4 TUT hold for additional ONE SECOND

STANDING CALF RAISE(toes pointed IN) - 4 TUT - hols for an additional ONE SECOND



Shoulders 3 SETS 12 REPS ON ALL


FRONT PLATE RAISES - hold a 25 pound weight plate in both hands....if too heavy - hold a 10 in each hand......GO HIGHER THAN PARALLEL TO THE GROUND.....GO TO FOREHEAD LEVEL ON THESE.....PAUSE FOR ONE SECOND IF POSSIBLE

MODIFIED SIDE LATERALS - grab onto the side of the cross over machine and LEAN TOWARD THE SIDE YOU ARE ABOUT TO WORK......go lighter on these(8 pounds)...again - go to FOREHEAD LEVEL AND HOLD FOR THE ADDITIONAL SECOND.


MODIFIED REAR LATERALS...again - HOLD FOR ADDITIONAL ONE SECOND

SEATED DUMBELL SIDE LATERALS - go really light - 5 pounds - maybe even three.....these are little mini-pulses.....from the contracted poistion...only drop the bells a few inches....then right back up








Arms 4 SETS 12 REPS ON ALL

CABLE CURLS - facing away from the pulley

PUSHDOWNS - use a long straight bar - shoulder width grip

DUMBBELL KICKBACKS - puase and squeeze for an ADDITIONAL SECOND AT THE TOP

DOUBLE OVERHEAD PULLEY CURLS(LIKE DOING A DOUBLE BICEP POSE) - HOLD FOR AN ADDITIONAL SECOND

S - does the gym have a steam room/sauna??

Also - get a 5 or 7 site caliper test done at the gym and get them to write down the individual sites


yes - we have a sauna and a steam room.

I am curious about the dosing for the clen - I've never seen anyone use it this way - (always ramping up and then back down at the end).

I know.

If receptor burnout = TOTAL NUMBER of mcg of clen.


Then the time in which burnout occurs isn't important.

Think about a gallon of water.

It doesnt matter how quickly or how slowly you fill it up....it will only hold a certain amount of water.


Side effects(or lack therof) are NOT in indication of efficacy of a product.

Knowing the relationship between natural thyroid, clen and ECA as I posted a few pages back....you will have better results varying the clen dose up and back down(to allow for better tolerance of the shakes) until you hit a maximum dosage while using ECA, than by using eca and clen on 2 off 1 on.

I have seen this time and time again and I feel that the old "usual doing" isnt the BEST way to do something.


Cliff Notes:

clen up and down until max dosage + ECA > clen 2 off 1 on + ECA

thank you. :)

I know without a doubt you always have a good reason for doing things, so I don't usually ask questions unless I can't figure it out myslef, or my curiosity gets the best of me.

Plus, I like to have at least basic knowledge of what I'm doing. lolol

With ANY TRAINER... if you don't get it -- ASK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never assume just because whoever is your trainer is some famous person or all that or whatever, you always have the right to ask.

And of course in the process, probably educate a few other people who also don't get it.

Don't hesitate to ask about ANYTHING.

The clen plan is a very different dosing scheme, so I expected a question or two about it......its about doing two things:

a - getting better results from it
b - doing a with fewer sides
 
the-short-one said:
ok...

so new macros will be:

cals = 2500
Protein = 409g
Carbs = 97g
Fat = 50g

or

67%/15%/18%


Given the slight carb minipulation and the bump in cardio etc - I expect the scale weight to drop a bit this week.

BIG CAL changes coming next weekend.


We are going to cut 500 per day - up the fat and drop the protein a bit

tanned for 20 minutes this morning. damn, it felt good. I'm kinda pink tonight. :)
 
Shorty curious how are you liking the NPP? It is something I have consider in the past but dam I am so gun shy with injectables. Love your feed back on it.

Why do you feel differently about orals vs inj??

The only change I have noticed over the deca is that the little bit of acne I had cleared up completely, and I know that I dropped whatever water I was holding with it.


Since I started the var - my throat has been sore, but my muscles have hardened up a bit.


Same Q as Sha dow - why are you gunshy with injectibles? Because of your exp with the primo? (which I think was test) Or do you just no like injecting yourself?

^^^^more evidence that(at least imo) the SHORTER the ester - the fewer the sides(when comparing the same compound)
 
The Shadow said:

It is just the experience with primo has me very cautious. Only reason I tried the mastron last go was I knew the person brewing it for me and trusted him to make it weak like he promised and he did. I had a fair amount of control over it and started out low 10mg e3d went up to 15mg e3d experinced zero sides from it.
TSO yeah I tend to agree that it might have been test as I got no sides from mastron which in theroy should be much more andogenic then primo. Also other reason I am gun shy is I don't want to lose any hair for me that is not an accepetable side at all I freaked when it happend with what I thought was primo. I have zero problems injecting myself.
 
Keep in mind that low dose test really isnt any more of a hair shedder than Primo for a lot of folks.....in fact with test - you can use Nizoral to block the dht conversion in the scalp as you know.

oookay. I asked the trainer at my gym to give me a bf test this morning - 5 or 7 site. He said he wasn't very good at it (only has digital calipers), but would give it a try. (wtf??) ok - so tonight I'm going to let him practice on me. lol

As backup - I went to the gym down the street and asked if someone could test me. They didn't have anyone who knew how, and they didn't have any calipers. LOL! jeezus.

I'm going to call the only other gym we have in town and see if they have any qualified people there. the way things are going, I doubt it - but I'll try. :nerd:
 
If you get the calipers, then Jeff can do it for you. Print out website or something that shows you where the pinch pts are (7+ pts is better) -- write down each pinch that person does - do 3 complete sets of measures - take the avg. Then get the guy at the gym or whatever to do it at the same pinch pts, 3x, take the avg and then check against what the first set were. That way you get an idea of accuracy & consistency.

I had to buy my own calipers & teach the chick at my gym as well -- I kept her measures over the course of several weeks & then got it tested at the Arnold (2005) -- go figure, Quadsweep did it for me w/ the really good calipers and that verified how accurate my girl's pts were - but at least w/ the girl's pinch pts over the several weeks - regardless of what the absolute measure was, she was consistent enough that I could track the relative changes as well.

Making a joke about it just so you can laugh...
I have even thought of getting a dot tattoo on each pinch area so they won't change...7 freckles...LOL

I've got digital calipers. My question is:

Since it's only a 3 site test - can I take a measure and then delete the reading (repeat) until I get all 7 sites? It specifies "upper", "mid", "lower" - but does it really matter which site you check first?
 
Jeff just did it.

He repeated each site until he started getting consistant readings:

chest = 3
abdominal = 5
thigh = 13
tricep = 3
Subscapular = 9
Suprailiac = 5
Midaxillary = 5


weight = 146
age = 34
bf = 11.12%
fat = 16.23 lbs
lean mass = 129.77 lbs

:( I was hoping it was lower.

Shortie, have as much confidence in yourself as the rest of us do. Listen to Shadow, he's not saying uhhh, well, yeah, you're kinda squishy and saggy, honey, he's telling you that you could be a fucking star and somehow I don't think that man tosses shit like that out lightly.

Don't look for things to be critical of on yourself, don't worry about that loose skin, it will take care of itself. Stay hydrated and moisturized, it will ALL come together. Don't focus on your skin, dear.

Don't think too much, just drive heavy equipment, lift shit and eat :qt:

I know - it sounds like I'm whining, huh? :D lol I don't mean it to be that way. If I'm looking at the big picture, I'm very happy with myself and how I look. No complaints - in fact, I feel blessed at this time in my life.

this is the first time I've gone through this - so when I make comments on things like my ass or whatever, it's because it's all new to me:

First time my bf has been this low
First time I've been in ths good of shape
First time I've had to pose

etc, etc, etc

I'm probably also getting nervous. I don't walk around all day wringing my hands or anything, but I still feel it. So - if it seems I need to be bitch slapped to bring me back to normal - please do so. :qt:
