[smbdybldr]

thanks guys!! yes!! I am soo excited!! i got my diet in the mail today! I got my new car! 350 Z .. I am sooo ready to start kickin ass tomorrow!!!
ugh!!! 2 cardio sessions a day for 45 minutes??? I'll suck it up

 

[LadyRaptor]

Gods ROT Cardio! I freakin' hate it! I'm doing 2 sessions per day as well (just to split it up)....but unless you're getting ready for a comp....why 2 sessions? This is YOUR plan or the plan your coach sent you? I'd be interested (as I'm sure TATYANA and BIKINI MOM would be 2) to see your DIET, your training plan, etc.

Just getting back into it and 2 sessions sounds like recipe for a burn-out to me.... just want to try and give "something" helpful....hope I can!

 

[LadyRaptor]

Awwww...I'm not a PLAT any more??? I need a plat sugar-daddy....or sugar mamma.....or I'm taking over HIS account!!! hehehe (mischievious grin)....

Yes I would like to see...

And why double cardio sessions to begin with? How will you progress - triple sessions five days per week in 6 weeks time?

Thats the plan my coach sent me .. I was wondering too!! why two 45 minutes cardio at a starter?? I will ask him questions when he gets back from his vacation next month.. I'll stick with what he gave me..
Yes, I am getting ready for a competition .. I have alot to lose and I am about six months out

Food looks great. Are you using the lemon juice to drop water weight? When I need to drop a quick 3 or 4 lbs, all I have to do is drink lemon juice and warm water 3 times a day. Which I will need to do this week. I am above my weight class and have a meet Sat

Do you take any diretuics to lose water weight? like diyzides?

 

[LuluDeren]

Wow, you look great, smbdybldr! I remember months ago when you first started posting, you've progressed greatly.

When I was in the 148lb weight class I used taraxatone but found that lemon juice and warm water works fine. I have a bottle of taraxatone if I need it. I will see what I weigh on Wed morning then make a decision. I am also dropping my carbs on Tues so that should help with the water weight. By dropping carbs, I mean under 100 grams. I still need my oatmeal, fruits and veggies. But I will have to skip the trick or treat candy .

Damn, THAT LOW? How many weeks are you supposed to stick to this calorie and cardio regimine?

Do you have email contact with him?

Good luck with whatever you do. I am fully aware that many roads lead us to Rome but goodness gracious. Please let us know the thought processes behind the advice. The better YOU understand why you do what you do, the better YOUR PROGRESS will be in the long run!

I don't really think pharma diuretics are worth the risk when there are so many other ways you can lose water weight.

The history of competitive bodybuilding is littered with the dead bodies of BBers from taking pharma diuretics.

There is a reason the IFBB does test for this substance.

My only other concern is for how low your calories are in your diet.

Unless you are mega tiny, 1200 kcals/day could be below your basal metabolic rate, and it could end up slowing your progress for fat loss.

I would go a bit with your own intuition on this one, if you do start to feel super hungry, or not hungry at all, I would adjust your calories.
