TUT really made a difference on chest tonight. I was nearly failing through the whole workout, and I wasn't even lifting heavy.
 
Exactly.

Let's be honest here - your muscles do not know that they are lifting. They only know when failure sets in.....it how long it takes the failure to set in that dictates what your gains will be(ie - strength or size or both).

TUT is the key to getting the results you want.

Trying to adjust my circadian rhythms. :) I'll have to be in class everyday at 9:30AM starting Monday. May not seem too early to some of you, but I'm a night owl...I train late, study late, and don't usually go to bed until 1 or 2. I know I'm going to have to change that in order to get up by 7 to do cardio before school. If anyone has tips to help with this, let me know. :)

All right...I have to study for tomorrow's chem quiz and get to bed. Good night everyone! :heart:
 
Adding in a fat burner around lunch time would do wonders for energy levels while the bidy adapts tot he TUT....it REALLY hammers the nervous system - hence the energy levels.....if you feel a bit jittery(nerrvous) - its nervous system related as well

YEP.


It is possible(even for nattys) to gain LBM while losing BF.


While we haven't been manipulating the diet at all - your body continues to make the adjustments we want. This is the primary reason I do not like making weekly dietary changes. You never get a good baseline reading on how the body is reacting.
 
Stats as of 5/12/07:

Height: 5'4.5"
Weight: 141.8
BF%: 22.97

LBM = 109.2
FAT weight = 32.6




5/26/07 stats:

139.6
20.97%

LBM = 110.3 - NET = +1 pound
FAT weight = 29.3 - NET = -3 pounds



GOOD STUFF
 
Fantastic on the pics.

You have an outstanding upper body..in fact - it is so good that it is throwing your lower body off a bit.

Goals are to build the outer sweep and inner ham thickness - pull out the lats a bit and cap the delts.

I know...my goal over the winter was to add some solid muscle to my legs, and I did add a lot, but not enough. My legs are really strong, but it's hard to add size to them. The good thing is I love training them, so let's do it!

So, are there any dietary changes or are we keeping it the same?

FANTASTIC!!!


Note that 2 days ago - the cardio was suddenly "easier".

That is why we have not made any dietary changes.....it really takes 10-14 days for the body to fully adapt to any duetary/supplemental changes.

You have lost 3 pounds of fat and gained some lbm - no need to make changes yet - let the diet do the work for you at this point.

WELL DONE!!

Thanks :)
Unfortunately, I still didn't do as well as I wanted to, but the good thing is my professor allows us 1 "do-over" on each exam, so I can retake it on Monday. Cool, huh?

Stat Update:

6/2/07:

Weight: 140.1 :rolleyes:

BF%: 19.61. :) .....although, I don't feel like a look sub 20 yet


From last week:

Weight: 139.6

BF%: 20.97%

Pinches show that I'm losing fat in the midsection, as I can tell because my abs are coming out more.
I also wonder if the increase in scale weight could be do to water retention from creatine?

Didn't log anything yesterday....
I had an INSANE day just trying to get everything done that I needed to. I really need to start managing the little extra time I get on the weekends better, so I don't put myself in these positions.

Anyway, food was the same, and I didn't make it to the gym.
So I'm out now to do chest....................

The missed day will have to be made up this weekend.

REST DAY
 
Hey Badge are you under alot of stress where you keep tensing your neck? I had a walnut size knot for a few months b/c of the stress.. I wasnt lifting weights at that time so b/w the cardio, stress, etc... I always was adjusting and correcting myself and posture.

Pay attention to your posture and hunching and let me know if you think it could be a slight cause or even aggravating it... can you do additional stretching throughout the day? Or get to a masseuse or chiro ?

That probably does have a lot to do with it. I DO have bad posture....I have a really bad habit of letting my shoulders slump forward. I've had trouble with neck and shoulder pain my whole life, but this past weak it was awful. Sometimes it gets worse than others, and I wonder if it's something I'm doing in the gym.
It was so hard doing shoulders this week....basically lifting anything above the head.
It's fine now though. My boyfriend gave me a KILLER massage on Thursday night, and it's been getting better ever since.
Truthfully, I've never benefited from a chiro- I've been to several, and I've found that most massage therapists aren't worth the money. I really need someone who can go DEEP for the whole hour, and the ones I've been to aren't hard enough for me. :lmao: That was kinda funny
