I'm looking to lean out I will be on an 8 week contest diet so we shall see how it goes.
I started out today with 2 caps before workout to access tolerance. I had some naseau so I'm going to keep it here to see if I adjust.
Shoulder day
To be honest with you guys my mind tends to block shoulder day out. Like a traumatic accident..lol
We started out with 15 over heard 35lb barbell presses supersetted with dumbell straight out raises 10 per arm for 4 sets
Then we did a high row using cables and a rope to the forehead for 10 reps at 90lbs we did these with 30 mountain climbers for 4 sets.
Then we did 6 full circle starting in the front and ending up over my head with dumbells for 6 reps then we put the dumbells on the floor and balanced on them and did 10 pushups. 4 sets..lol
Then we did dumbell raises up in front back in and down for 15 reps, these always hurt me..they were supersetted with 20 1/4 pulses to the side. 4 sets.
Then we did 20 dumbell shrugs for 4 sets. We did some other things and did some ab work as well.
I also finally got my diet!! It consists of 9 meals every two hours...yuck. I believe it will be 8 weeks of misery.!
For those who don't know I train with a personal trainer 5 days a week. I can only post some of what I do because she does not allow me to post my workouts or diet. I sneak bits and pieces in here and there. I train with Invalid Link Removed
In 8 weeks i will evaluate my body and status to determine if I'm ready to do a photoshoot.
Seems to be well suited to females, as well as something I would really push for on competition and low carb diets. As the clean energy is enough to get a workout done even when the diet makes you lethargic.Sweet this is exactly what I needed a female perspective.

She has me on the same meals every day. The carbs consist of 2/3 cup of oatmeal twice a day. And asparagus spears and green beans..lol That would be it.

EWWWW......Asparagus!!!!! :rasp:
LOL thanks for the asparagus support. I gag on them and I have 2 meals with 5 stalks in them...blech. I need a better recipe for them. We have been spraying them with the no cal butter spray and putting spices and tossing them on the grill.
I sent you some REP POINTS for this..lolForgot to add I had 4 different people approach me in the gym today and mention that I was cutting up nicely and leaning out. So the diet must be working. And muscle loss is minimal.
LOL thanks Box,not every day can be a fun day, this is a lifestyle of work and compromise and it seems alot of guilt.
Thoughts, well Hypertrop-X worked for cardio but as always leg day just is hard for me to get done. My endurance was not spectacular and i had some leg cramping today. But seeing how hard the day is for me I don't expect miracles.
Leg day, well I can barely walk so it must have been worth something!
I started off with 20 min of cardio.
Then we did barbell lunges 15 per leg with 35lbs weight for 3 sets.
Then we did 15 reverse lunges weighted the same for 3 sets.
Then we did 10 non weighted lunge to the front and then to the back at 10 per leg for 3 sets.
Then we did a triple superset of one legged deads with the barbell at 15 per leg, then we went straight to leg curls at 90lbs for 10 reps and then we did extensions at 90lbs for 10 reps. We did 4 sets of these.
Then we did 15 per leg of a jumping side to side squat lunge for 3 sets and then we were off to do 3 sets of 30 on calves.
This honestly burned me out to the point that i had a hard time getting dressed..
I'm actually lookn forward to leg day today,hopefully my squat numbers reflect my excitment lol
totally it is a marathon and not a sprint. Most important aspect of this IMOLOL thanks Box,not every day can be a fun day, this is a lifestyle of work and compromise and it seems alot of guilt.

Then we did one of the hardest things she has asked of me in a long time. We had to get two 6lb medicine balls and balance on them and roll them out in a walkout and do one push up balanced on them and roll the balls back up to your feet without touching the floor. We had to do 3 sets of 6 on these.
Mad props to you because these are freakin' tough! I had a trainer once that had me do these but now a days they're just so difficult (and effective) that I won't even do them, lol.Then we did one of the hardest things she has asked of me in a long time.

LOL Botch, I was so afraid I was going to eat the floor, especially since she had us do them last when I was tired already.
Today is shoulders for me and I will hit some cardio as well. Thursday we fly to Cali. I'll be bringing Hyp X with me and hitting the hotel gym. Whatever thats worth. As well as doing some room exercise, tri dip, push ups etc...
Well I'm back! The vacation went well until Tuesday when my mom called to tell me my dad died. He has been fighting ALS for months now so I knew it would happen, but it does not make it easier. At least he is no longer suffering
I took my Hyp X with me on the trip and it helped me quite a bit with the jet lag and three hour time difference, as well as the long 11 hr Disney day and the 6 hr Knotts beryy farm day. All of my super tired days I was able to feel the beta alanine tingles..I definitley recommend it for travel!
