post up the result CC....

I can't stand people that all they want to do is try and demolish something good going on. We are posting our results with what you are doing. If she wants to start her own group that's fine. To sit here and degrade the rest of us I don't think so!

Interesting views on that individual.


Who is to say what works for whom? Is there a golden perfect macronutrient breakdown for all metabolisms? for all training types? for all body types? for all goals? for every genetic variation? Obviously, NO.

Its a matter of dedicated time spent tracking and understanding all of those aforementioned variables as they apply to YOU, the individual. Try one, it works, rock on, it doesn't, modify.

Forgive me, Shads, but I think what you are doing so effectively for the folks around here is applying your experienced view over the choices each has made to help in avoiding pitfalls that are inherent in trying any NEW approach. Why would anyone want to go it blind when that kind of quality help is available? THAT would be stupid, frankly.

If her perception is that following advice en masse makes you a puppet, then maybe the idea of cumulative experience or group dynamic is foreign to her. How much better does a group of like minded, like-goaled people see the target or the lack of target than one individual among silent strangers? I will refrain from overstating the obvious here.

Well, from my perspective, we are all lucky to NOT be in that situation, and for most of us, THAT is why we are here. This thread, the attitude and experience behind helping the way shadow and others do here, that is certainly my reason for being at EF. Do i aggree all the time with everything from everyone? NO, no one does, that's what makes this thread, this whole group of people so damn valuable, and so damn smart.



Is her approach to a difference of opinion a bit misaligned? er... yeah. But that stems from more than the opinions on this thread. Don't let it rile you, ladies, you are all witness to the positive changes that have been gained by Shads help and by your own input and encouragement: forgive the haters for they know not what the fuck they are talking about, ya know?










Oh, and Frisky, darlin'? save your intensity for other pursuits, you're going to need it....

I know this is a great opportunity for me, and I'm refusing to mess it up. I hate seeing my 'before' pics on display like that, so I have all the motivation in the world right now. (Not to mention Shadow, you, Daisy & all the others)

99% of the women in the world would love to call your before pics their after pics. Anything you do to look even better is all gravy so don't ever sweat it. It's very cool of Shadow to take care of it all for you though - you're very lucky! Can hardly wait for the progress pics... :p :p :p

Very good Post Chef!

and yes... My energy and intensity need not be wasted ;)
 
Wow, I missed the um, errr, excitement??

Would it be out of line to post a link (ie not allowed) to another board who (IMO) promotes the type of eating plan that ASU seems to want to follow?? I used to belong there & found it to not be a good fit for me, but it might be a fit for her?? Or keep it to PMs?? They are pretty militant about the equal amounts of fat/carb/protein per meal & aren't hesitant about their nitpicking & criticism.....

Do you put fruit in your shakes? I usually do so it makes it easier for me to drink them. (Picky)

*So, I guess if there should be carbs in there I get them from the fruit, but I will only use water from now on until I am instructed to use milk (;) )






*This statement directly stems from a conversation I had with Shadow

Couple questions... What is a butt blaster? Also... do you do step-up's on a bench at home or at the gym? Can we substitute a Reebok Step at the highest it can go?

What's this "pushwodns" on arm day?
Do you want me to keep 8 cycles this week on HIIT or go to 9?

there should be a glute machine at your gym

do them at the gym - 5 risers is fine

8 again.
 
Is 'Glute Machine' a technical term for the piece of equipment because I'm not real sure what you are talking about. I can do a search and go look at the piece of equipment on-line and it may ring a bell....

I wasn't able to follow Shadows program for week 4 :bawling: I did a mix between weeks 2 & 3. My diet was the same last week durnig the days(well pretty close, there were a few subs made) Then on Friday night, Sat. night & Sunday night I way overindugled. I was so depressed I didn't want to leave my door! Anyway, I guess I'm not as strong as I would like to think :rolleyes:
@ days back on the Shadow program & I'm feeling MUCH better!!!

Here are some pic's. I was 133 lbs on the scale today (I'm due to start my period in 2 days - that could be half of it & I'm sure the weekend slaugtered me in terms of results.

Please made some fat ass jokes now (so I can remember them the next time I even get the urge to do such binge)

Anyway, here they are

How are things Girly?


:) Things are going.....

I'm still following along, just not able to post as much. I'm working crazy hours ( 87 last week alone)

Only thing I did different from the program is yesterday I didn't train. No weights or cardio, I also had a protein bar late at night (12:30)

I'll have to train arms & do some cardio after work today or tomorrow, see how the days go :)

I missed so many posts, I better get reading while I have the chance.

Oh- I need pic's up - I'll do it when I get home (today or tomorrow - I'm LIVING out of my gym bag!)
