Pom-poms and confetti??

No? too much?

Glitter? Streamers? Whatcha need Jodi #1? just say the word!!!

Posted by: Jodi

You to sit back in your seat and not make me look like an idiot on stage while I'll already be scared enough due to stage fright

Posted by: JB_427

No worries. The judges will just be swept up in the excitement and crown you with wonderful stage presence and the ability to work the crowd. It is then that I throw the gilttered confetti and crash the cymbals together.

Cant you just see it?

Posted by: Twin Peak

I might come just for the side show.

Posted by: Jodi

My own cheering crowd.

What is an inner leg squat??

Posted by: donescobar2000

Yeah? That's a new one to me also.

Posted by: nikegurl

Hi Jodi - You're taking the ICE before workouts, right?

Did you go with the grape? I hear it tastes best. I think I'm going to be able to try this and L2 after all. Will order Friday. (and yes, I'm actually eating today)

Been meaning to ask you....do you enjoy training legs more or less know that you're not killing yourself with the heavy heavy squats and leg presses?

Posted by: nikegurl

Jodi will tell us for sure but I believe they are like plie squats (think ballet dancer at a bar)

Feet out, wider than shoulder width apart. Am I right?

Posted by: donescobar2000

Ahhh...I got it.

Posted by: nikegurl

Hi Jodi - One more ICE question. I see it comes in 2 lb size. Does it happen to say on your container how many scoops are in there. I'm trying to get an idea of how long it will last (budget!)

Are you only taking it on lifting days? Thanks for always helping (me and everyone else)

Posted by: Twin Peak

180 scoops. Scoop = 5g protein.

Posted by: Jodi

Yes they are plie squats. I like my leg workouts I make them fun and challenging by superseting, trisetting and giant sets.

I sip on ICE while I'm working out. I got the fruit punch. Doesn't taste bad at all and this container will definately last a LONG time.

Posted by: acclu97

Hey Jodie,

I just saw ur recent prgress pics in your journal...Good Job!

My favorite one is the second one u listed titled "me1." You are abs and arm look very well defined, keep it up!

Ah Ha! LOL I found You!!!!

Its on Sunday because 1.) It keeps the same format as the NPC New England Championship which the first Sunday of every May, and 2.) because Im poor, I work Mon-Sat!!!lol so I dont even have a day off those 2 weeks in Sept!

2. Dont worry about "horror stories" A common misconception is that someone lost because they werent from the judges gym. My judging lineup changes slightly year to year, but currently has 1 from CT, 2-3from ME, 2-3from MA, and LOL 1 from NH. Just 1 NH judge for a NH show!!!

Jodi, youll do fine, be fine, and come by if you need any help!! or email SQ700@aol.com

Hey NG,

I am using ICE in the grape flavor. It tastes like Kool-aid even when I mix Leptigen with it.

I asked TP the same question and right now I am taking ICE on lifting days. May adjust this later but for right now it is working gr8!

Glad to see you are eating.

LOOKING GR8 JODI

Posted by: Jodi

Hi SS, I don't have anyone helping me pose but a friend

is sending me a tape on how to prepare for the competition. There is also a lady at the gym, retired pro-bodybuilder that said she would help me with things if I need it. I talked to her today and we are going to get together after our workout on Monday

Oh and yes, I'm very nervous

Posted by: freeman1504

So Jodi, do you like rolled oats, or steel cut oats better? I just bought some steel cut for tomorrows meal #1...the serving size is less, but carbs are around the same. I hope they fill me up....and how do they taste?

Posted by: Twin Peak

Jodi, tapes are great, but you really need someone experienced to show you live.

Posted by: Jodi

Freeman, I like steel cut oats better

They have a nutty taste and it bit of a crunch to them.

SS - BTW I posted pics a few pages back already.

TP - I have that lady I just mentioned above. She is going to help me out.

Are you now at the leanest you have ever been?

You are going to see your body looky very freaky as each week passes.

Posted by: Jodi

According to skin folds I am at the leanest I've ever been. I've been lighter in weight before but we know that don't mean shit. I was literally 10 pounds lighter last summer so that means I put on a bit of muscle over the winter

Its only 3G fat for this piece of buffalo. I can't wait to eat the next one

Hey, I dont think I told you this the other nite(why would I, right?lol), I grew up on the first buff farm in NH, my cousin Brian and his wife Keira still raise them and sell them up in Warner...He a USPF National referee and working my bp meet on Sunday, Ill introduce you to him if you go, or call him at 456-2833 and tell him I sent you....

Posted by: Jodi

Oh Yummmyy! Sounds good

So he sells it to consumers? Do you know of any restaurants that serve it around here?

How much does it cost to get in the meet on Sunday?

NT - Thanks, hopefully something will turn up better soon. The market sucks so bad right now I guess I should be fortunate to have a job no matter how much I dislike it.

he sells everywhere, I beleive Sullys in Manch, the a-market, I want to say Silos Steak House carries it but I could be wrong. He usually has no problem bringing it to the meet if you ask him..
he also has several consession stands that go to Hopkington fiar, Deerfield fair, Sandwich, etc....

yankeefarmersmarket.com 456-2833, theyre super nice and Itll only be him or Keira answering the phone..

the USPF meet admission I believe is just $10, under 12free...

I would get some buffalo but I can't afford it this week. I had to pay rent last week so the first week after rent has to go elsewhere like the bills piling on my desk

So I tried stability on the swiss ball today. My first try kneeling I didn't last 3 seconds. I kept at it in between sets and by the time I was done I was able to stay kneeling on the ball and even bouncing around a little for almost 2 minutes before having to hold onto something.

It was fun and a challenge. Maybe in a few weeks, I'll actually be able to stand on the damn thing.

Posted by: P-funk

Good job. Try doing some bicep curls or cable cross over while you are kneeling first. You are on your way.

Posted by: Jodi

Not bad for a first try eh?

Posted by: P-funk

Just work in some exercises every once in awhile to give your body a different challenge then you will really see the benfit.

Posted by: Jodi

Thanks Mark

Hey Lina, I don't take any carbs in other than veggies on no carb days so its quite low. Usually ranges from 15-25G

and you feel it too but the Leptigen has been a saviour, I'm never hungry

How much Leptigen did you take per day when you first started it??? Are you still on it???

Posted by: Jodi

Hi B,
I started with 3 T. a day now I'm up to 4 T and yesterday I did 5 T. and it saved my ass cuz I was starving yesterday. Good thing I took that extra dose they had pizza at work and I was able to resist and didn't even crave it.

T = tablespoon, right?

I need to up mine then. What are you putting it in to get it down?

Posted by: Jodi

Yes T - Tablespoon. The labeling is wrong on the canister and they may or may not send you an email stating so.

I'm mixing mine with potent Lemonade Crystal Light

Funny I had some crystal light without leptigen last night and it didn't taste right.

Woke up and felt like shit today. Head spinning, dizzy major headache, just totally out of it. I slept 12 hours which is unusally long for me and wanted to sleep more. So I took some Leptigen, and went back to bed. I finally got my ass up but still felt yucky. I don't know how to explain it, almost like a hang over but without the tummy aches. Today was High Carb day which I managed except I didn't eat enough today. As a matter of fact I'm only eating my 3rd meal and last meal right now. I did get my ass the gym but it was a shitty workout and I didn't want to be there. I went tanning and fell asleep in the bed

I've been laying around all day since the gym watching TV and I still feel like shit.

Meal 1:

Only 3.5 L. Water Today but I did take 5 T. of LG because of the lack of food

Posted by: freeman1504

I woke up feeling shitty today too. I had an awful headache and it only got worse as the day went on..I still have it actually and no advil seems to help. They sent me home from work cuz I was so out of it and thought I was gonna puke. Anyways, I know what you feel like today..I"m only having 4 meals, 2 being shakes...it sucks big time...luckily I was off from the gym today..hopefully I feel good enough to do back tomorrow..so I know how you feel..hang in there and keep up the good work...

ps - god I want a bowl of soup

Thanks Mark and Sara.

Well I still feel like shit. All the sleep yesterday didn't help me for last night either. I only got 3 hours of sleep before I had to get up for work and now not only do I feel crappy and drained and major hangover feeling, now I'm even more tired.

Oh and top it off I'm fucking bloated and I HATE feeling bloated more than anything

I just want to go back to bed

I forgot to post my shitty ass arm workout from yesterday so I'll do that next.

don't worry about it sweetie, you'll feel better very soon !

Posted by: Twin Peak

You may be coming down with something, hopefully you will fight it off quickly.

Up your Vit C and Zinc.

Posted by: Jodi

Me too

I have this great stuff called Defense Plus by Nutribiotics that DP told me about a long time ago. It kicks ass and usually within 2 days I feel almost 100% better after taking them. I started today so hopefully within a day or 2 this will be gone whatever it is

Posted by: Twin Peak

Hang in there.

Posted by: freeman1504

Is Defense Plus sold exclusively in health food stores? or is it also in regular grocery stores as well...I may need some of that. I feel tons better today, but I constantly feel like I might start getting sickly feeling again...it sucks

I know how you feel hun.

Posted by: P-funk

what are planks??

getting better on the ball!!! Haave you tried standing on it yet?? Or at least getting one foot and one knee on it?

Posted by: Jodi

Mark you can get it at your natural food store

Potent stuff and really helps with everything. I had a sinus infection last summer and without antibiotics I took this stuff for 3 days and it was gone.

Posted by: Jodi

Funky, I haven't tried standing on it yet. Too afraid

this is a plank

Posted by: freeman1504

I've done planks before...just be careful not to strain your back or something..they used to hurt my lower back if I did them too long

Posted by: shortstuff

lol those things rock especially when in a super or tri set LOL

Posted by: Jodi

I didn't superset them, I just held there for about 1.5 instead. I never did them before and it was quite boring actually.

I even had one of the trainers check to make sure I was doing it right and he said I was.

are you suppose to feel it in your abs?

Posted by: shortstuff

OMG try it in a superset and you will want to hurl...............

Posted by: P-funk

try to suck in your abs as tight as possible on the planks...also, make sure you are maintaining good spinal alighnment. this exercise is great for core stabalization. You can also raise up one leg and point your toe and hold that...then it puts a greater demand on equallibrium because you have to solve for a smaller base of support. try doing 4 sets, 2 sets on each leg and try and hold for 90-120 sec.

Posted by: Jodi

I did suck it in and tighten my abs. I don't these really bored me. I think I'll stick with something I can feel like decline crunches and jack knives.

Posted by: shortstuff

what are jack knives??

Posted by: P-funk

Yeah, I hate planks also......what are jack knifes????They are probably something i already do but just have a different name for.

Posted by: Jodi

Jack-Knifes

I add a weight on my chest. I also love V-Ups

Posted by: P-funk

oh yeah, those a good exercises. How are the competition abs lookin'??

Posted by: nikegurl

do you do the jack-knifes off the end of a bench? i like them that way. hope you're feeling better.

Posted by: freeman1504

Hey guys...I do decline crunches, leg raises, reg. crunches, rope crunches, and standing side bends....are these okay? of course, I mix it up and do some on one day, other on the other...never all at once..

Posted by: Jodi

Funky, I can see the top 2 thats about it so far

Thanks NG, I am actually feeling quite a bit better. That Defense plus is kicking in

Posted by: P-funk

the jack knifes off the end of the bench are okay if done properly but mustly i see people just working their hip flexors when they do that. you have to make sure you are gettng a sufficient posterior tilt inoreder to contract the rectus abdominus properly.

Jodi, 4 more to go...lol

Posted by: Jodi

Funky, I think I'm one of those people that if I get lean enough I might have 8 actually. I can feel all 8

Mark those are good but try some new stuff everytime. Thats what I do. I throw in a new ab exercise each time.

actaually no one has "eight" The rectus abdominus is one muscle and it is seperated down the center by the linea alba, i can't remember what the seperations that run horizontal are called. Anyway the other two "abs" that show on some people are not part of the rectus abdominus they are something different. I can't remember which muscles they are but the are muscles of respiration that are showing (for some reason I want to say transverse abdominus....can't you tell that i am to lazy to go and look in the old anatomy book?). You have to be really lean to see those two muscles, that would be impressive if you can get that kind of conditioning.

Posted by: Jodi

Ummm, Ok but I feel them.

I would love to learn more about this stuff, I thought about taking PT Cert just don'thave the money for it right now.

Posted by: P-funk

most pt certs don't really talk about any of this stuff. Really I have to say that I learned everything I know about biomechanics, motor learning and kineseology from hanging out at the gym and talking with the other trainers there. Most of those guys are strength and conditioning coaches or olympic lifters so they have taught me tons about this stuff. I have never really used anything from my pt certification....lol.....But it is good to have if you want to get a job.....you would make a great trainer.

Very selfish of you.
