Good girl my time is limited I been slacking on my logging. I keep all my workouts logged in a book and my food is still logged daily on fitday just can't seem to find the time to post it all up. This week at work is wicked busy for me too covering for another rep well he is on vacation and trying to close a deal that could double my month. Serious insomnia issues though :worried:

Are you taking any of your ancilaries before bed? It makes for a pretty sleepless night if you are. Except for the GH. That usually makes you sleep better...

Pretty!!! :) DO you use bikini bite to keep them from moving? That's my fear lol :lmao:

It depends on how they fit the better the fit the less bite that is needed IMO Last year I used a ton as the one piece was way to big in my ass.

Does it take off any on the protan, the adhesive? (sorry with all these random questions)

It does a little when you take the suit off but typically the bite goes where the suit covers so you can't really see it.

Have you got your suits ordered yet?

what about AAS? My experience with var is that if I take it at night, I don't get good sleep. At all. My boyfriend says the same - he's running test and takes it in the AM because he's up all night if he takes it late.

bump for pretty suits!!!
what's the fabric?
is that considered small/med/large design?

Thanks Buns :qt:

The one piece is velvett and two piece is hologrham spandex. I would say those would be a small-med design.

I still need to take new pics but the dam gh is giving me these little welts :( My tummy looks I got bit by bees lets hope the next vial is smother the first one was fine but the second on fack has me wish I spent the little extra and got jins.

Not pins spots they are rather large I will take some pics to show you. I have heard that this is rather commin with the blue tops it is a quality issue.

In the mean time I am off to tan and then going to switch things up dp some rack deads. YEAH BABY I AM GOING TO KILL THAT SHIT :D
 
I like rack deads they really put the focus on the lower back and doesn't seem to engage the ham and glute at all which is good. I may switch out regular DL's for the rest of the prep. I have to be very carful with my hams and glutes I spent a good 2 months of this year in pain cause of them.

225x12 Since that was easy I thought hmm bet I can get 275 umm no dam bitch owned me so I back down a bit. 245 x 6 then 225 x 10 x 2 Oh in between set some kid told me I could dead lift more then anyone is his school. LOL

welts will go away after a while. I found that I got them with only one vial. It wasn't my first one - maybel the 4th one. Jeff got them when he didn't add enought BAC water to his vial. He has 20ml vials instead of 10 - he didn't know it and only added enough water for a 10ml vial. Once I added more BAC water to it, he didn't get any more welts.
 
yep........the water has been an issue......its similar to shooting winny or test suspension without wiping the needle with an alcohol poad before shooting....creates minutes site specific reactions

You got this girl. Your progress shows that what you are doing IS working. I myself have issues with the lower body tightening up, slowly but surely. I added YES in last week.. b/w that, dieting, hitting legs 2 x a week ... they are coming along. I haven't even gone sprint or cardio crazy lol , SO not like me but whatever works :D Still following your log closely. If you need to scream you know where to find me.
 
How you doing today :qt:? 40 min on the Step Mill, THEN back for legs, THEN 40 MORE minutes of PWO cardio? Dang girl you are killing it... show me how it's done, geezus :kiss:

Thanks Buns looks like the logging is still going to be spares. I thought things were slowing down at work but apperntly not. I need to work my ass of this month is not shaping up as perdicted. I lost a huge f'ing deal I am still pissed about it. I have a 3 more decent size deals I am fairly confidant in closing.
Trainer has me uping that cardio for sure also do more of a rotation with cals and carbs OMG so low on the carbs. Eh whatever gets it done at this point. I found out my show is actually a level 2 so this is going to be very serious compatition. I really want to nail it.
 
Just a little update my suits came in today and they are stunning I love them CC swimwear rocks great quality and so beautiful.

Lever bench last night 180 x 8 <<< Yet another PR
 
Ok lets see little updates last week was still making some PR's Lever bench is up to 200 lbs no shit why can't I free bench be that much. My squats and DL numbers have kinda stalled though not losing strength just not gaining at 7 weeks out I am not going to complain about strength to much. For me my strength tends to drop off around 2 weeks out.

Lower body is starting to come together shedding some bf on the hams finally. Upper body is pretty dam jacked. I am getting looks when I wear a tank tops etc. It has been warm here for this time of the year so I been out and about in sleeveless tops. I was at the store the other day and the cashier was like holy crap your ripped. LOL I don’t think so but it was nice to hear.

6 weeks out today. I have to take some new pics when my roomie is around he went on a bus tour or something today. So hopefully should have him around tomorrow to take some pics.

I took a yoga class today. As I have been thinking more and more about doing fitness. Last night I was trying to do the 6 manditories and let me tell ya I can't do the splits to save my life. My flex ability is not at all where it should be. I can hold the straddle for almost 2 seconds but my face don't look pretty doing it. I was laughing at myself as these fitness girls look so grace full and effortless when doing there routines.

I been telling myself for weeks now that I will take a yoga class on the weekend but never do tell today. I did alright actually, I haven't done any type of yoga in like 5 years or so I was pretty impressed with myself. I am going to try to keep it up as I know that stretching helps with recovery. Also my muscles feel great very relaxed.

You are figure now right?
I would love to compete in fitness also. I can do the splits and stuff, but not the gymnatstic part of it. Most of those girls can do like crazy flips and handsprings, right?

Yes I am in figure right now but to be honest last year I felt very let down after the show and it had nothing to do with my placing and everything to do with the feeling is that it? I dunno fitness is a huge challange for me don't know if I could ever do it and be competative but I really would love to learn the moves and see what I could do. I do also love body building because of the posing routines etc. My main issue with body building is the direction it takes at a pro level. If female body building was still the way it was when Cory Everson was around I would be competing in it no doubt that look to me is perfect.
For fitness if you can do the dancing and gymnatics it is great but really to compete in fitness you just have to be able to prefect the 6 manadatories 3 of them being strength (straddle, pike and one arm push up) and 3 being flexablitly (front split, side split and high kick.) Anything else you can do on top of the manditories is icing on the cake basically.

Where would you go to learn the ropes of fitness competition? I don't know any fitness competitors. In fact, it seems like there are very few these days because of the figure division. When I competed at the Bodyrock, which is where the Monica Brant Fitness classic is, there were only 3 fitness competitors in the whole show!! And I thought that was supposed to be one of the big fitness shows.
I feel the same way about bb. I would love to compete again, but I'm kind of at a standstill because I don't really know which direction to take with it.
 
SOme of the pros have fitness camps - Jen Hendershott comes to mind.

You could think about doing some obstacle course comps ......
 
QT -- making killer progress! It does suck being somewhere between all the different available competitions. It really sucks. Really sucks. I'm so tired of being "big" and then trying to cut down to come out 20 lb smaller than everyone else my height. My future is probably going to hold more "figure" than "bb", if anything.

I would honestly say to explore every aspect of everything that you want- you are young and have a crazy strong base. The rest of it is just body reshaping for whichever competition style you pursue. I've finally hit the point where my body may not allow me to do what I want anymore. In fact, I've run into a lot of very fitness driven, competitive people around the 40 mark who are all experiencing all sorts of problems that are making them think more about their goals going forward. The thing I don't like the most about aging is losing your choices as your body just can't support anymore w/ the same aggressiveness & mindset that you used to. So use it while you got it!

Thanks Sassy I keep wavering on what I want to do I know with my build I can easy do either BB or figure.

DG I don't know if they have those obstical course deals here in Canada. I can check. If figure had more then just quarter turns I wouldn't feel this way. I could compete in another federation where figure does routines but then I would have to clean out as it is a natural federation.

I don't like the direction figure is heading. VERY thin. The body fat is higher than what you'd need for a bb comp, but damn. Those chicks are hella thin. In my mind, this isn't a good message to be sending out to women...

Those pictures you were showing from the "O" -- jeez. Well it might take a season to see where the hell the judges want to take it - you mentioned that you thought Iris Kyle looked good - but they've been trying to do this 20% smaller thing for 2 yrs - maybe it took her & the other really hyuge old school girls to adapt their bodies the right way? Now its the figure girls' turn?

I am also worried tho. I don't get what they want and I think they are talking about what they want in terms of what they don't want - i.e. "not as hard", "not as muscular", etc as it was going 2 yrs ago. If they can't speak in absolute terms instead of relative terms its going to be a step by step inching.

Yeah it is so hard to say which way they will go with figure it changes so much show to to show etc. I know in Canada the girls that got there procards this year still had a whole lot of muscle and were not stringy at all.

Asking them to cut muscle in figure (IMO) is a mistake. I really liked the look a couple of years ago. Now...holy hell. I'd look like a concentration camp victim trying to cut down to that. Some of them did have that look - but with a good tan. :D lolol. That is so hard on the body.

QT - You have a build very similar to mine - you gain muscle easily. I think fitness would be a good direction for you if you decide to go for it...or bb. I thought Jen Hendershott (sp) and the other fitness women looked really good. Small, but very muscular.

Thankls Shorty :D Yeah if I can get the moves down I think I will move in that direction. Although BB is still applealing to me as well. I have some big plans for the new year I been kicking around the idea of hiring a big name trainer more and more is pointing me in his direction.

Yes. #2 reflects what you consume, as long as when/how often you're going is about the same, and you feel fine, don't worry. The time to worry when #2 changes and there's been no change in your diet and/or you're having pain in some part of your abdomen and/or if your schedule has suddenly changed (going A LOT more frequently or not going for days in a row).

Thank you I had another thread about it but it got deleted :rolleyes: Wonder if they willl lock and delete this one :rolleyes:

I am going more frequnt but that does not concern me as that is typical I have cut my meals to even smaller sizes and eating even more often 7-8 times a day. For me that stocks my metabolism and the processing of food the more often I eat the more I go.
 
If you're eating more frequently, even if it's smaller meals, then it's perfectly natural to go more frequently.

As for color, a wide range can be natural. What you have to watch out for is black or red (unless you've been eating beets or are taking charcoal for digestive reasons).

You might want to think about this book, while you don't have to worry about anti-aging it's got some good, sound information in approachable terms about major body systems:

Hey Buns

I am plugging away. I know I am looking better then last prep for sure but not sure if I will come in where I need to be to place tops 3. My abs are coming in buy slowly. I have dropped the gh and everything else that could possible make me hold water as of this weekend so this week should be telling as to how things will end up for me on stage. Also doing a dry run with my water etc this week so looking forward to seeing what happends this weekend for me.

I am shopping way to much I spent $200 this weekend on clothes. I only needed one thing which was a dress for my xmas party that was $80. The rest was on stuff that is fairly useful though clothes for work and another pair of workout pants.
 
OMG so this week has been a true test on me mentally changing compounds dropping things adding things etc. Just wanted to Thank Sassy for being there always for moral support etc. I :heart: you. :bigkiss:

Oh and I got a consult on November 13th for boobies :elephant: My boobies should be extra sad by then b/c of them comp prep. I am getting a consult on the same 24 hour procedure Shorty had my biggest problem is figuring out the finances for this.
 
Yesterday was beyond hell I know see was from the very low carbs I though I was going to die. I had to go home and rest after work. I have a dam desk job so nothing I should need rest from. Anyway good news is after the gym I was feeling better maybe because I saw the light at the end of the tunnel let me tell you this morning’s meal of taters and chicken was pure heaven. I love carb ups 3 more weeks to go!

I love carb ups 3 more weeks to go!

go QT go :) Yeah wow I totally feel for you... I have the desk job also and it was hard to sit at it all day. Constantly taking naps!! Don't mind the brain it was gone, but at least my body was there! Good job :)
 
Ok now I am dying cause I been doing a trial run with my water I cut it at 5 yesterday night and am down 3 lbs from last night. I am down a total of 10 in 5 days I think 1-2 lb is actual fat and the rest is water weight but I dunno if I can go tell 9 or 10 tonight with out water knowing my show is not actually today.
 
Why "no water"? You can at least sip and also do the ol' suck on ice cubes thing if you want to stay true to the "dry run".
 
Yeah Sassy around 9 I broke down and started sipping. I know firiends that litterally drink nothing after 5 Friday I dunno how they do it.
 
Well all total I lost 12 lbs of water in 5 days but I am not real happy as there is still a significant amount of fat lose I need and not sure if 3 weeks is enough.

Here is a pic

I think I look flat and fat not real happy.
 
Well I really believe Sassy when she said so m uch can happen in the last week, the last few days.. I remember Frisky saying something about that too and IMO she looked fantastic for the show.

You really shrank girl... and you playing with your carb & water depletion early ?

Yeah I was playing with the water as a dry run last year I only lost around 5lbs in water weight which was clearly not enough cause 12lbs in 5 days pretty much means I am a camela. Only person I know that lost more water then me in that short of time is needsize I think he lost 15. I just think my conditioning needs to be better tighter harder leaner.

Oh and another lovely thing I have cramps like aunt flow is in town only she doesn't come for visits anymore just her cramps do :rolleyes:
 
Monday-Thursday got carbs on Friday ate approx 20 grams with 20grams protien plain chicken every 2 hours until expect 6 hours where I was sleeping. Should be enough to fill me out I am carb senstive.
 
I think you look great, stomach is looking good.

BUT (I am so famous for my "BUTs", lol) you are lacking definition.Was this dry (after carb down, no water)? I kinda thought you would have more defintion at 3 weeks out .... but what the hell do I know? lol

You DO have 3 weeks left - and I know a lot can happen in that time. Maybe the competitors can help here .....

Not sure I have advice, since I don't compete .... Just want to give you a big HANG IN THERE! :) I can't wait to keep see pictures! They are great! :)
 
Daisy I don't get it after a work out I look great right now I look like shit. There is something off in my conditioning. I agree I should look much more cut then I do now I look super soft.

So you feel like you looked better BEFORE the carb/water down?

My muscles look fuller yes but. I look great after a hard work out even when I do lower carbs. When dieting I have been having day of around 60-80 g for me I can easy function on that little no problems and I get a great pump in workouts etc. just time my carbs mostely around the workout. I was down to under 40g grams from Monday - Thursday. Maybe that is to low not enough loading or maybe I am just not ready.
I think I have kinda made my mind up that I can only take myself so far I really need to hire someone. I haven't fallen off the wagon yet but I just don't see this show happening, I don't want to tax my body anymore I then I have been. I know there is ways to be leaner hard dry then I am with less "stuff" and less cardio then I do. I have actually contacted a trainer all ready but he cost a pretty penny looks like the boob job is going to get put on hold as this is more important to me. I want to be the best that I can be and right now I just don't feel like I am at my best.
 
I can sense your frustration so Im not trying to piss you off ... but I dont think you should give up or not do the show, you've come SO far and it shows. I know you wanna place top three but I think each show brings a little something to the whole experience of competing.

You may not feel that you are at your best, but you have given it your best so far haven't you??

You have til after the new year to get boobs done, recover for a few months then compete later in the season, boobs will always be there to buy gf, don't sweat those.

Hang in there QT ...
 
Okay, a couple things. First - you know this is not meant as any kind of attack on you, I am just stating my opinion on what I have observed. :heart:

1) I think you should do this show. Every experience only makes you a better competitor, a better athlete and a better person. You are strong and capable - this can only give you more insight into yourself and competing.

2) I am concerned about how you have been training. You do LONG cutting periods - you have been cutting for what, like 5 months? And this was after a LONG cutting period last year. Your "off season" seemed to be very short and there did not seem to be much "bulking time" or just time spent trying to add some muscle. Now, my memory may be skewed, since I *did* have a baby during that time period. I may be remembering things wrong, lol.

I know cutting periods are long, but to me, it seems like you are cutting for A LOT longer than many others.

I feel like you are trying to rush things, rather than doing some long term planning. Obviously, I do not live with you nor do I partake in long discussions with you about training goals, etc. So you might be doing this and I have no idea.

3) Boobs can wait, like Bunny said. This should not even be something you are stressed about.
 
LOL welcome to competition hell -- the last month is nutty. It just is. I didn't see my damn abs until 2 weeks out. I'm still going to say that you are modifying your body as well - the jump from powerlifting to "figure" is large and your body is not only built for powerlifting (as demonstrated by your damn strength ;) ) but it is conditioned for it from how you've trained. Can always take a couple competition cycles to make those changes.

That aside -- you have 3 weeks to decide do the show or not, but you know as well as I do the changes that happen between now & then and you may be shortsheeting yourself if you toss it at this point. The worst you do is decide to not do it the day of the show. At this point, that is exactly what I would tell anyone... But don't let the waffling start eating into your confidence. The option is always there, but half the challenge of competition prep is seeing what you can do because no one can gurantee exactly what will happen - it is an art form.

The Mon - Thurs carb deplete -- just for the record - my carb depletes are zero carb (zero complex - maybe 20 g total if you count the veggies - maybe -- like 4 servings of broccoli / day) -- though I don't know if you are counting only complex or simple as well. Also how is your fat?

When you say you look "fuller" after training -- is it a puffy (i.e. watery) fuller or a cut up fuller? You may be one of those people who manages to look better if they keep training right up to a show vs stopping a few days before. Dunno - you might watch that and consider it during the last week. I'd still move the training towards aerobic - high rep, supersets, possibly even just full body circuits + cardio --- but see if you notice a more cut look after you train.

Otherwise -- just keep the faith and stay focused.
 
Thanks Ladies

Daisy this comp I started dieting in August for so yeah it is while. I spent from January -July kinda messing around trying to figure out when or if I should compete this year. The last one was 6 months dieting a very long while for that one for sure. Over this prep though in an 8 week period my scale weight dropped 5 lbs well my body fat went down 6% so yeah I was put on lean mass well on a cutting diet same thing happend last year hence why I don't bulk or see the need too. Last year my judge crtic was you have the size just fine tune it all come in tigher oh and get new suits. LOL

Sassy the carbs were all from veggies It was green beans and califlower. My fat intake was higher for the lack of carbs aroud 40% percent over the week. The circuit type workouts are what I do for my legs cause I don't want them growing anymore but gawd I feel gay as hell doing it for my upper body but you do make very good point. I try not to make strength such a priority my workouts well getting comp ready. I will give the circuit type training a go for the next 3 weeks and stay the course like you said making the final call on to do it or not to in the final hours. I do however see no shame in bowing out if need be pros do it all the time. Last years comp was a comp to do a comp. I told myself that I would place at my next one and right now I don't feel my package will do that. We will see what the next few weeks hold with some tweaks to training and diet.

As for fuller I mean post workout I looked pumped and I feel hard right now I feel very soft even when flexing not sure if that is the lack of carbs or what.

That is absolutely the right attitude. The deplete sounds about right w/ the veggies. But I'll again say that the 3rd week is a bugger because you tend to envision the cuts but the really powerful cutting has yet to happen. So its definitely worth your time to ride it out & base your decision on the results at show time.

I'd also venture that it is the end of the year and there's another run starting around March if that's what you want to do. I don't know the options in your area if you want to spend the rest of the year on sort of a maintenance so you dont' lose where you are now, condition your body to be "at" where it is now so you can move forward from where you are now instead of a bulker or whatever and then make your body go back into that cutting.

Again if you want to do that .. its a thought. But I think your body type presents more of a challenge than girls who are coming up to figure from the stance of having no muscle, have a body that is conditioned to responding to sort of no particular stimulations (e.g. by training heavy) & having to build. You have scads of muscle and have to reshape it & condition your body to be a lower set weight.

I'll compare it to me -- my body's set weight has gone up 10 lbs since I first started competing - I'd been lifting for 20 yrs and my body liked to sit at around 150 lbs. The training conditioning was there, but the dieting never really was. So now having done more focus on dieting, and probably the more impactful 'conditioning' (not in a good way) - I've had pretty regular weight swings of up to 30 lbs at least 1x/yr since 2000, and the result is that I definitely have more mass but I also tend to hold more fat around my waist and of course, the age thing adds to that and I really would need to do a couple cycles of conditioning to get my body being comfortable at a lower weight and being able to maintain it as it would in response to a "normal" lifestyle (meanign not in competition prep or for some short term goal).

But see what the next 3 weeks brings. Its a new adventure every time!


LOL mostly be glad you don't have to deal w/ the age issue yet ;)

LOL that is definitely one bit of motivation & reuse of results -- how many of us are going to be running around trying to fit into "that perfect holiday dress" for xmas parties, New Years, etc... and hot stuff over heeya is gonna be struttin' the competition quality bod.....
 
You look good QT! I second what everyone else has said....a lot can change in the next three weeks. Stick with it. You've come to far to back out now.
