The goal is prep for Oct comp.
1hr morning walk
1hr evening class


Ah ok! Going to try & add some muscle on before then?? If so, and also since you are so far out - I'd cut the cardio for now......
 
I 'll cut the walk as I love the Step class. Yes I am trying to add mucle thats why I thought I try this project.

And the project will do that BUT I'd save the cardio for later on....you can always pick up the class again later......OR, well, eat more....if you want to build some muscle + do the class, you're really going to need to eat for it....
 
Best wishes to you !!!
I hate to sound like a broken record but if goal is muscle building # 1, I'd watch the cardio... too much is counterproductive. My goal was fat loss when I first did the project and even then cardio was cut in half for me, it was tough to go from 'daily and LONG' to 'short and 3-4 days' but I also didn't know then what i know now :)

With that cardio you are probably still at a caloric deficit or pretty close to it, even at 1700 cals.

:rose:
 
Just think - if you're doing 2 hours of cardio NOW at 10 months out from a show...what are you going to do 2-3 months out?? 4 hours of cardio a day??
 
Either none at all or just walking or 1x a week HIIT just to keep the heart rate up/good......again, if you want to add muscle, eat to support it & the CV.....
 
I'll try that as I have never been told how much cardio is enough or to much.

I really want to get some big gains this year as due to having bubs last year it put me behind the 8 ball. I will be competeing for the Nationals this time so need to be a lot leaner and need a lot more bulk.

I plan to post some pics in the next week or so of before and afters. Just need to get hold of a camera as mine broke.
 
Day 2

1/2 hr brisk early morning walk

Meal 1
1/2 cup oats
125ml skim milk

Here is the diet - it was in the sticky:

Meal 1:
-Protein shake........
enough powder to cover 30 gra,s of protein....put this in 1.5 cups of nonfat/1% milk....one teaspoon creatine...same with glutamine podwer fi you have it....take vitamins as well

Meal2:
-Handfull(1-1.5 Oz nuts)
-500 ml water

Meal 3:
-baby spinachleaves with 4-5 sliced strawberries and several bluberries....
-low cal dressing
-can of tuna
-a few crakers
-500 ml water

Meal 4(after weights)
-Same shake as meal one

Meal 5
-6 ox lean fish, chicken or beef
-small potato(baking or sweet)
-green veggie
-500 ml water

Saturday night cheat night
Sunday back to schedule.

Supplements:
Glucorell-R is the r-ala:
ONE 200 mg ala with your two shakes and post-work out solid meal.
100 mg of the rala per 20-30 grams of carbs.

Thermorexin = fat burner morning on empty stomach before cardio

Yohimburn lotion = 15 minutes prior to cardio in the A.M., or weights on non-cardio days if you can handle it. Rub in real good.

Creatine = 5 g (2x a day) with shake
L-Glutamine = 5 g (2x a day) with shake

Multi-vitamin
 
If I want to build muscle do I eliminate all cardio from the plan?

Is there enough cals in diet to accomodate the training for bulking?

Which Creatine do you recommend??

Should I take all supps from plan??

If so can I order these from the AF Store being that I'm from Oz?

Dont worry abut the Trex and YES.

Look about for a basic fat burner to use in place of the Trex.

As far as the YES goes...there really isnt a substute product for that.


Be sure to get regular BF testing done as well

Would the Musashi fat burner + be a suitable subsitute?
I have been trying to catch someone at the gym to do a BF% for me for the last 2 weeks but they all claim to be to busy at the time.
I will try to get it done at least fortnightly if I can. In the meantime I will try to purchase some calipers for myself. I hope to be posting some pics tonight.

Found out this morning upon arrival to the gym that it will be closed for the week for fitting of new equipment. I was rather deflated so I decided since I made the effort to get there I might as well attend a class. So I managed a Fatburner class.
I'm not sure whether to do some classes the week as the aerobics section is still open or whether to do nothing and wait till they reopen the gym next week.
ADVICE PLEASE!!!

ata5...in those before pics, you look low to mid 20% on the BF.

Your main issue is estrogenic(STICKY) fat.

The YES will help a LOT with that specifically

Only problem is I can't get YES here. :worried:
 
Your log looks great! Nice work on posting the pics! You have to (re)start somewhere! Im right there with you!!!

Sorry I cannot rec any other products, too bad about the YES :(

Is there anything else I could try. I can't get YES here in Oz and I haven't been able to find anything here that is a rub on like the YES. Do you have any other sugestions?? :)
 
Why not take a class or two for something different from your normal routine??

Feeling rather flat agian today but managed to get through a pump class. At least it is some sort of weights workout.

I have a doctors appointment on Friday and will get some tests done for cronic fatigue and have also found out that on my fathers side of family the is a problem in ginetics for homocystein so will get tested for that as well. My sister got checked and found she has it.
I will ask the doctor more about it as I can't seem to find a lot of info on this.
The only thing I know thus far it that it puts you in a high risk for heart attack and stroke and that an ultered diet can help prevent this. Also something about protein levels are far more elevated than normal.

Made it to the gym today to check out the new equipment. WooHoo very fancy. I spent around 40 mins checking it all out and to see how some of the new thing work and was rather impressed. My gym now has things in it that I have heard everyone on here talk about. Not so primative now!!!
I spent around 45 mins training as I had to make many adjustments to weights as they are so much different to the old stuff that I have had to play around with weight until it felt heavy enough.


WORKOUT
LEGS
Leg Press 4x12/65kg this one the seat moves up, not the foot plate.
(new) seated leg curls 4x12/40kg
(new) Hack squats 4x12/85kg
No calf apperatis at all at the moment so I got one of the guys to sit on my back while I bent over the smith machine bar and stood on step. He weighs around 110kg he tells me.
Calves 4x15/110kg
Lying leg curls 4x12x30kg
Leg extentions 4x12/40kg

ABS
assisted ab machine 5x15/bw
leg raises 3x12/bw
decline abs with 6kg medicine ball 3x15/6kg.

Felt very invigorated after the gym as Have missed it this week. Feel good.
Energy levels are up by around 50% today. Might have to harrass the hubby tonight :bigkiss:
 
^^ Sounds like a great workout!! Whoo Hoo for new equipment!!

For the calf raises - did you hold onto the smith bar and set the step out from the bar some and then have the guy sit on your back? I never understand how those calf raises work...LOL

Yes it was.
For the calves you bring the bar down so that when on step your body is at a 90 degree angle. Then have someone sit on your back right at the bottom.
It's agreat alternative.

Mega B

Meal 2

Meal 3

Portein shake w/ skim + 1 tsp coffee

Meal 4

100g shredded chicken breast and green salad
1 wholewheat pita bread

Had excellent training session today. :heart: the new equipment.
They now have an ab crunch machine and I managed to load that to 30kg (approx 17lb) felt gooooood. Had one of the guys throw a 6kg medi ball for my sit ups managed to pump out 5 sets of 20 ouchhh. I love working abs but it takes a lot of weight to feel the real burn. Also I like doing slow crunches with like 30sec pauses which takes around 2mins to do 1 from top to bottom then back up. Love the ab burn.

Dont worry abut the Trex and YES.

Look about for a basic fat burner to use in place of the Trex.

As far as the YES goes...there really isnt a substute product for that.


Be sure to get regular BF testing done as well


Would the Musashi fat metabilisor + be a suitable subsitute?

Also finally got a BF done 24% :o :(

This weeks food has been pretty much the same all week. I have been busy running around this week running errands for the business so had just made large quantities of everything so all I had to do was portion it up and run.
With the new equipment now at my gym I want to go every day.
As of Monday next week will be able to train around 5:30pm as the gym will be opening an evening crèche. One question I have is - which foods do I change around to compensate the change in training time?????


:)

I am hoping to be able to take more pics and post them later tonight.

I will be planning on posting pics each fortnight. :)
 
It has been a lovely weekend, although it is very hot at the moment it has been 40 degrees C. or 104F.
I wish the little one was big enought to take to the beach!
 
I have a question for anyone to answer: Which meals should I change around if I want to train say around 5:30-6pm each nite?? My gym is opening an evening creche and I would find this a much better time to go. :) :)

You are doing great!!! I can imagine the heat!!! About your meal question change...I "think" you should have one low in carbs and then after workout replenish them...May be mistaken, but I think I would have some almonds or walnuts before...maybe PM Shadow about it. Greetings!

Feel flat again today, but have found that most of my flatness is due to lack of sleep. Need to go to bed earlier.

Hope to post progress pics tomorrow, which will be 1mth since last ones. :worried:
 
My husband couldn't take his mind off loosing his beloved dog Jake and has now gone and got himself another cute little pup called Jett.

Here are some pics of Jake's grave and the new pup.
