Leg day today was more cardio intensive. She decided that since I'm not sure if the O is in my future and I've done zero dieting that I need fat burning more than muscle building..lol
I have agreed to it since I had a competitor ask me if I would do figure or womens bb. I figure I can lose muscle and still be fine .
We started with single legged squats for 10 per leg and 4 sets.
Then we did 10 per leg on step ups supersetted with 20 pop squats for 4 sets.
Then we did 10 per leg on the butt blaster kneeling kick back machine supersetted with standing bent over curls for 6 reps per leg and 4 sets.
Then we did walking dumbell zig zag lunges half way across the gym, then we stopped and did 10 straight legged deads and stood up and did zig zag lunges the rest of the way for 4 sets.
Then we did 15 rep leg extensions for 4 sets.
Then we hit 3 diff exercises for 25 reps per machine on calves.
I came home and did 20 min of cardio alternating between sprints and incline treadmill.
I'm going to do some bodyweight ab exercises as well.

^^^This is what I need to be doing now (and trying to get into training is really hard right now; I am struggling with fatigue so bad, almost like I was last year with the Chronic Fatigue). I would love to lose some muscle in my legs :sigh: Anyways, let's hope that we will both be on track and getting what we want...Not sure if I will make it to the O this year now either...I am going to start doing something different re training and see if that works...

I am having severe fatigue issues as well as bad migraines. I was actually so sick to my stomach before I trained that I thought I would not make it.
For the fatigue I'm using PLCAR and the headaches, well not much I can do there. I actually wake up tired and want to sleep by 2pm..not a happy thing.
We can do it though!

I never noticed before that you are only 5'1" rosie. Just never caught my eye on your profile, and your pics are solo so no indicator of scale. nifty!
I'm still raring to go for the O, counting down to the last 4 weeks to start an aggressive diet again. hovering at 207ish today with a so/so 4 pack if I flex hard

I think I'm going to have to do a serious diet, just in case!
Thats awesome on the abs Eric!! You have to be excited. I need to kick it in to gear!!

I thought that the fatigue issues were from the new AN product that I am beta testing. Changed dosing/timing of some supplements as well as that product, so fingers crossed that those issues will go away. Otherwise not sure what it is.
I am also having trouble motivating myself to do anything (NOT good).
Yes, we CAN do it. I keep repeating that to myself (not doing a lot right now) and if I say it enough maybe it will kick my arse into gear. I honestly miss training like a machine!
Yeah, I'm all of 156.6 cm tall, Eric :lol:
I would like to go, but since I may be in the US longer than planned and I'm not a finalist in the FLEX Bikini Model Search, then it's not such a big deal if I don't make it (there's always another time). It would be an awesome experience though (and I WILL make it to Vegas sometime in the next year).

The Olympia is a very humbling experience. When you are standing next to the top competitors with diet on par and the best training it really lets you know what you need to do to be the best.
But it can also be a fun kind of romantic relaxing place to just have fun and eat and just enjoy being there.

its funny but find some shots of both Jeff + Don in posing gear. If there is nobody else in the picture with them, you'd never guess their height difference.

Yeah, to really get anywhere (or probably to be 'happy' with myself) I will have to get diet conquered and not just rely on training to carry me through. After all, it's the LITTLE things that make or break anything. And I can no longer let myself 'get away' with anything anymore to get anywhere...

Oh stomach sickness, during my trip I had the worst stomach bug I ever picked up. Waited 5 days, didn't clear, and took 3 full days of antibiotics before I started feeling better. Thank god for Immodium (lomotil).
I hear you on the sleep thing; luckily I don't start class until Monday, so I'm just bumming it and gym/sleep/going out. However I *am* back in the gym. The first day was the best (well worst I suppose) DOMS in a year+. No training for a month then deads + squats + powercleans... oh man lol.
The dieting part isn't too bad; sure I miss the gelatos but back at home I'm quite disciplined. I'm running some EC (and AlphaBurn starting thursday) + PLCAR & ALCAR and a cortisol reducer. Oh and some peptides for fun. I've got 9 days until I've got to fit back into my dress pants, although I think I'm there already. I definitely won't make it to the O, but one day I hope to make it to the Arnold to meet up with some AM'ers.
PS Eric you could be my grandfather

Ahhh DOMS I can still get those. Although the realtionship between a heavy or intense training day and DOMS seem to have no correlation. I do get them on alot of my leg days.
Its great you are back in the gym! School huh, Mine start school on the 25th and its up early for me then. I'm actually up early today to start the appts for back to school haircuts.
Diet, it depends for me on that. If I have the food I can blow out a comp diet easily. If its not here and we eat out then I eat pretty clean. However if I' need food and there is nothing here than I'll eat what I can find.

Not to get sidetracked, but damn Easy that's a big improvement. The last pics I recall seeing were problem 4 months ago, but nice job :thumbsup:
I think I'd just shame me if I posted up some pics, give me another 2 weeks to finish cutting off the gelato-gut lol
Yea, I start on Monday
Atleast I get another Orientation Week, so the real stuff doesn't start until the 31st and this is just partying & legal/administrative stuff for the program &hospital.
Never used kettlebells since none of the gyms I've gone to had them, but it's something I want to try.

Hi Sean!!
Ok now that my schedule has changed it gives me more time for cardio. I have not been too serious with my diet and have concentrated more on the kids and seeing that all the back to school stuff was done. They have been in school since Tues.
My oldest has to get up at 6am and there is an hour between her leaving and getting the other 2 up for school. I think I'll sneal cardio in there to see if it helps me wake up. I have been consumed with chronic fatigue and getting up earlier is only making me a mess by training time.
I will do my second cardio after training. Although I would like to train during the day i'm not sure if I can make that happen with time.

Wow thats some good savings there! Hope it works out for you!
It is hard to adjust after they go back. I'm debating on the fairness of dragging mine to the gym at 6pm. They come home and do homework, get maybe an hour to play, go to gym, dinner and baths. They might get an hour in the evening as well.
Nats last class in the am is 9:45 and my last 2 kids leave at 8:30 so there is no other time to hit it.

Syliva (the 13 year old) asked yesterday about how long I spend at the gym and what time I get back mornings. School starts for her at 9, so she's interested in coming with me to start working out. As pretty as she is, like I need her to also have a fitness grade body
Well my 11 year old trains with me often. Its a good way to spend time and establish some good habits as well as give them the edge in sports.

With Alyssa I have her do whatever I'm doing with alot less weight. If its a machine she does not fit then I have her do one next to it or bodyweight stuff on the floor next to me.
I skip the leg press for her with plates however will have her do the calve raise machine with plates next to me. I just use 25lb plates.
My gym will not allow her to train seperately due to injury increases. She would not be comfortable alone anyway..lol
But there are only a few machines that she does not fit on. It takes a little longer to take weights off for her. But I'll use dumbells more often.

I would say that sounds pretty good. i know my daughter has trained with Natalie and although she has her do light weights, she has to do the same sets and reps as me. But she does not do it anymore because it was too much for her.
If you push Alyssa to far she does not want to train. So I try to keep it good for her. I only get to train her on days I choose to train alone which are far between now.

I'm so glad to see that you kept this log going even if you're not going to the Olympia. That's their loss anyway. They won't get the chance to see the awesome Crader standing there in all her ripped glory!!!
We should all train as if we are going to be IN the Olympia. That will keep us strict on our diets, diligent with our cardio, and spot-on with our training.
As Shakespeare said in paraphrase, "All the world's indeed a stage and we are merely players, performers, and portrayers. Each another's audience."
Keep training as if you will be standing on that Olympia stage yourself Christine!!! You have lots of fans here counting on you to meet your goals.
The best of luck to you my warrior-sistah!!! :clap2:
