Kat's quest to get lean with LG's C2K

Lol, I'm always waiting for Kat to go Bat Sh*t Crazy on my a**!!! Lol
 
Your diet shouldn't really make you irritable, yes there's an adjustment period but irritability is likely a sign that your diet is either missing something or you aren't eating enough. I know it's hard to get it right, just keep making adjustments. Now in the case where you are trying to do something more extreme such as contest dieting then irritation would be a symptom. Refeeds help some in this case, and it gives you something to look forward to. :)

I had no problems in my prep? Lol

Now the truth to that, lies in what you ate after you competed. I know people who are like that, contest prep doesn't bother them, then after the show they eat pretty much like they always do... fuggers.

My food was restricted like crazy. But, post show I ate whatever I wanted for two days, then back on my diet grind that Tuesday. I've got updated pictures in my thread if you want to check out the diet front and all that.
 
Ssooo Kat whats the current and future goals looking like?

Goals haven't changed...still working on getting leaner. After I get about 5% more bf gone, I will work to put on more muscle. For now, just keep training hard and leaning out!! :)
 
I'm sorry that I'm so behind on everyone's log! I promise I will be catching up tomorrow everyone! I hope you've all had an amazing weekend!! :D

Haha you know me! I can't leave till I'm unable to move! Thank you! The stretchers were fun! Too me a min to figure out to put my foot on the bench to help hold me down. It was challenging to stay down with the 100lbs though! Lol Yes, the DL's pull my back really bad where it's been cramping up! I only attempted 95! I was mad! Ready for the pain to go away already!

They're ok right now. Not gone but bearable. Took some Advil and try to stretch when I can. Thank you!
 
Shoulders looking good Kat!! And with that little waist the v-taper is coming in nice!!
 
You look amazing, Kat! I'll have to copy some of your back workouts today.
 
Kat,

I am really surprised you said too much rest for 3 people lifting... Longer rest periods actually make lifting with 3 people easier. If you guys star with the weakest person first you just add weight quickly do the set get up and next person goes immediately. That is 2-3 minutes rest for each person. You just switch the weights out very quickly. Plus you may feel like it was too long of rest but lifting higher intensity and leaving less in the tank each set will make you start to need the rest. Plus you will realize how much strength you actually have since actually recovering between sets. Admittedly though you definitely have to step up the pace switching the weights with 3 people.
 
I agree; women do need less rest though. When we lift together my girl will do 2 sets to my one even though we're going fast.

Thank you girl! :) I'm ready to see some pics of you!! Love the ink/avi!! Go for it! I added to the MD! Lol

Kleen, I'm just not good at taking the 2-3 mins break! I know it's good for strength but I really enjoy keeping my hr average around 135 throughout weight training. I get bored just standing there.

Another strong one Kat. Pic update was a great one too..

Thank you, Simon! :)

Got 30 mins of sprints in at lunch! Love my Skillet radio! This one came on just in time for hitting 8 mph! Prefect!! Haha

You need to take a couple weeks off of whatever exercises cause you pain; ie don't do them. Don't do less weight or less reps. Just don't do them.

I would skip legs and lower back completely for two weeks and consider taking 2 aleve twice a day for that time period.

You're never going to get back to full strength if you keep causing repetitive low grade injury to the affected area.

You might consider GVT as a training regimen. It sounds like it's right up your alley. I bet you get better gains with it too.
 
It's always hard to take some time off because of an injury. Especially one you think you can work around ;)


An clear your inbox! Lol

Good morning guys and gals! Lats are nice and sore from yesterday! Did chest today and actually didn't add...well except for 3 sets of rope crunches but those don't count! Lol I like the exercises- just gotta speed things up. It took a full hour and 10 mins with the 3 of us vs 45-50 mins. Love the stretch push-ups! Couldn't do very many but I enjoyed them. Definitely feeling it all!

Nautilus plate loaded incline press (plate weight per side)

57.5x15x2

Slight incline DB bench
35x6
40x6
40x8
45x8

Flat Bench- no lockout
85x15
85x13- couldn't make it to 15

Stretch push-ups hands on steps/ feet on riser platform 2 sets to failure 9 and 8 reps

Heavy lateral raises slightly bent over with a little swinging
20x8x4

Rev flyes
60x30
65x25
75x8/70x12(accidentally had the 5lb plate down)

My rear delts were on fire! I could feel the tears rolling down my face! ;)

Super wide bb OHP (hands obvious wouldn't reach to the ends as called but they were to the outer rings)
45x12
55x8
45x12

Ran out of time- I will do cardio at lunch!
 
VERY nicely done Kat! Impressive numbers!

The Meadows routine will get better every week.
 
Kat you're strong! Great workout, I wouldn't sweat the extra 20mins it takes for three ppl to workout together, your cardio will make up for the time :)

Yes it will Kat. It seemed to start out a little slow for me but gets better every week.

Nice workout btw !
 
Thanks guys! It felt really good! I enjoyed the workout! I think what's making it so challenging is having to tech the newbies and them not being able to do things the same way. It will get better though as we get more comfortable!
 
Kat you are a beast. If you don't like the resting then you might try GVT but I don't think it would translate well into a 3 person lift. For 2 people it is damn near perfect because each of you can be on a machine / weight station at a time.
bigred, the Wide OHP she is doing is very light weight to avoid danger or it should be that is how it is to be done. Even John Meadows only goes up to 85 lbs on it.

I don't go above 65, and even that's challenging.
 
Thanks Kleen! I'm gonna give md a fair run maybe I'll add some jump rope or something between sets since BLaQz had challenged me to try it out! ;) The newest girl will catch on in a few weeks and that will help too! Yes, the OHP are "light" but still hard as heck!! Lol I didn't feel any bad pains.

I didn't get to bed till 11:30 last night and kept waking up from silly muscle jerks as I was falling to sleep! Lol Luckily, I have prob 2-3 doses left of the C2K...will help perk me up!
