We will rev up next week....I want this week to be an active recovery week.

So how did you end up liking the Dermatherm? I read a couple other reviews and they all seem pretty positive, I am just starting a bottle today.

So how did you end up liking the Dermatherm? I read a couple other reviews and they all seem pretty positive, I am just starting a bottle today.

I don't think that Dermatherm is for me. At least during contest prep. It makes me hold a helluva lot of water and also makes me sensitive to tanning, which I can't have right now.

I've read that a lot of people really like the cinnamon smell. It's not my favorite. I also do not like the film that it leaves on my skin - it rubs off on my clothing and bed sheets.

All the above reasons are basically because of personal preference. I'm not saying that their product doesn't work - it just isn't the right product for me. I just discontinued use and am giving it to Jeff (My SO) to try. He's just started cutting and needs to drop about 25 - 30 lbs.

I'll repost this on the DermaTherm thread...

Log time. I didn't work out or do cardio this weekend and my diet was the same, so I'm not logging Saturday or Sunday. I did have a salad and chicken breast at Applebees on Saturday night with a big iced tea in place of my nightime shake. That's the only change.

-------------------------

I kept the weight lower tonight - I think the reason my back hasn't developed as fast as the rest of me is because I haven't been concentrating on the muscle I'm trying to work - so my arms/shoulders are doing most of it. Now that I'm more aware of what I'm doing, I'm really trying to make that mind-muscle connection. It was a good workout tonight. I feel that I actually worked what I was supposed to.

mind-muscle connection

I finally did that yesterday with triceps!!!

 

[the-short-one]

Hey, there.

I'm going to Vegas today...kind of last minute. I'll be there through Friday, then in Prescott through Sunday. I'm taking my puter with me, so will check in and keep my log up.

Going to the Palms pool party on Friday!

 

[*Bunny*]

xxoo

 

[The Shadow]

FANTASTIC.....back is the hardest thing to feel along with hams.


WOnder of there is any coinkidink that they are both on the posterior part of the body so that you cant SEE the muscle working?

I think not.....


WELL DONE.


AGAIN - It is NOT about the fning weight....its about TUT and what the muscle group feels like
