There won't be any changes in the diet until I hit a stand still, then it will be changed a lil. Right now, since its working, there is no reason to jack with it. We are having steak tonight for dinner on the bbq! I think I have ate myself sick with brownie mix. I baked them, now they smell yucky to me, have to take them down to the office soon. And have to bake Craig cookies for when he comes home.
Do you do your stats after your cheat or before (just curious). Keep it up hon you are right on track!
Way to go woman!!! Keep up all the hard work! 
I'll keep plugging along for ya Jenjen.

I want them now! I feel like I have tree trunks on a lean upper bod. LOL Just the reverse of California legs! I'll keep plugging along for ya Jenjen.I don't want any more carbs today but I have to stick to the reg. meals. It's weird how sugar kills the urge to eat and makes ya sleepy! Oh....I admitted the Chex Mix stuff to Jon. He wasn't mad, said a handful isn't enough to do much damage, just not to go overboard with it since there isn't much fat in a serving of it. |
its always the last for me!

Originally posted by atherjen you know that makes sense. I made choc chip cookies once and ate too much raw dough and didnt even want to look at the cooked ones! Hold in there hunniebuns.. those legs will come! but its us being female that makes em slow! its always the last for me!

The rest of my body leans out fast and my abs are always the last to come in.
u guys r too cute
on the cookie dough. I like them in the dough and baked. or even nuking them for a few secs in the micro. mmmmm
yes the tan does wonders!
Great job on the results!
By the time my 
trims down my arms feel like noodles!
I'm sure it would keep some of the muscle, just not sure how much of it.

Originally posted by JLB001 Stacey..that is so sweet of you to say. Bleechers will changed the shape of the leg, but you shouldn't do them til you get your knee checked out! OK? You don't want to make it any worse. |

Originally posted by JLB001 I think weights would be needed to keep the size. Think of runners. The ones that do marathons, they don't have legs. Ya know...I really don't know. I'm sure it would keep some of the muscle, just not sure how much of it.

I think after seeing where you are from, it's time I quit complaining about the bitter cold in Texas (thirties, forties, and fifties...lol)! I tried the no-training-of-quads tactic in 2002 for one of my shows. I didn't like the results. I did the stepmill for an hour everyday. (Talk about boredom...you can't busy your mind with anything while keeping up with the ever-revolving steps; have you ever tried reading a book on that thing when your nickname is klutz? It's not a pretty sight!) Yes, my legs did get smaller and my butt did change shape slightly, but I didn't like the loss of hardness to the muscle and the extra skin that appeared. My legs felt spongy, and that feeling disappeared once I got back into leg presses, leg extensions, lunges, light squats, and sprints. Thus, I personally don't recommend this tactic. I do believe that sprints and plyometrics are key to taking the chunkiness out of quad muscles. Also, I tend to do hamstrings first and then quads when I do legs. I also use supersetting and even tri-setting for exercises and keep my reps between 12 and 30 and don't lift as heavy as I could. It's difficult to change your mindset, but just stay focused on your end goal...symmetry! As for what a yam is, it's a version of a sweet potato. Well, there are arguments about this as to whether the two are the same or different. I had one trainer who insisted they are different. Then there's my mom (who is always right...in her mind, at least) who says they are the same. I've gotten the same results whether I've bought organic yams from Whole Foods or sweet potatoes from Kroger. But everyone reacts differently. |

Originally posted by Jodi Here is one article on the high rep myth http://www.healthforlife.com/shadow/...ml/a6sets.html And on strength training Dispelling Misconceptions Recent studies counter several widely held beliefs that may limit the physiologic and psychological benefits of weight training for women. Myth 1: Strength training causes women to become larger and heavier. The truth is, strength training helps reduce body fat and increase lean weight (1). These changes may result in a slight increase in overall weight, since lean body mass weighs more than fat. However, strength training results in significant increases in strength, no change or a decrease in lower-body girths, and a very small increase in upper-extremity girth. Only women with a genetic predisposition for hypertrophy who participate in high-volume, high-intensity training will see substantial increases in limb circumference. Myth 2: Women should use different training methods than men. Women are often encouraged to use weight machines and slow, controlled movements out of a fear that using free weights, manual resistance, explosiveness (high velocity, low force), or exercises that use body weight as resistance will cause injury. In fact, no evidence suggests that women are more likely to be injured during strength training than men. Proper exercise instruction and technique are necessary to reduce the risk of injuries for both men and women. All strength training participants should follow a program that gradually increases the intensity and load. Furthermore, sport-specific exercise should closely mimic the biomechanics and velocity of the sport for which an athlete is training (2). The best way to achieve this is to use closed-kinetic-chain exercise that involves multiple joints and muscle groups and the ranges of motion specific to the sport. For example, the push press--rather than triceps kickbacks--offers a superior arm extension training stimulus for improving the ability to throw the shot put in track and field. Myth 3: Women should avoid high-intensity or high-load training. Women are typically encouraged to use limited resistance, such as light dumbbells, in their strength exercises. Often such light training loads are substantially below those necessary for physiologic adaptations and certainly less than those commonly used by men. Most women are able to train at higher volumes and intensities than previously believed. In fact, women need to train at intensities high enough to cause adaptation in bone, muscle, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. When exercise intensity provides insufficient stimulus, physiologic benefits may be minimal (3). To gain maximum benefit from strength training, women should occasionally perform their exercises at or near the repetition maximum for each exercise. http://www.stumptuous.com/weights.html |

Leg Training ...Ann-Marie's Way by Ann-Marie Crooks (Top National Competitior) Be sure to check out Ann-Maries super Web site, this is one you don't want to miss (there are some great pictures here!). links to other peoples page. Not a day of my life goes by that I am not complemented on my leg development..unless I am wearing long pants. Even in cotton leggings, I am asked how I got my legs that way. The most flattering part is not that I am complimented for that particular body part, but that the comments come from both sexes, all age groups, and non-bodybuilders. I wont lie and tell you that I built my legs strictly from weight training. My legs development, just as the rest of my physique has been mostly genetic. I participated extensively in athletics in my elementary, junior and high school years. Specifically, my athletic background that I feel has contributed to the solid foundation for my legs to develop to the degree of muscularity they exhibit today, was gymnastics and track and field. I just began my 12th year of training, and I have to confess that I no longer squat regularly. In fact, I haven't done that in about 5 years. The basis of my leg training revolves around lunges, extensions, and hack squats. I also do NOT train quadriceps and hamstring in the same session. I train quads today and hamstrings 2 days later. You may also notice some exercises missing from my training session, (i.e. leg presses). In order to curtail stagnation in my training, I don't do the same exercises each time I train, and some exercises, such as leg presses, are performed on my hamstring day. I have found this allows me to totally exhaust my quads and give them 100 percent of my energy. I also don't train quadriceps with another bodypart. I do however train hamstrings with another bodypart. I am going to limit this article to just my quadriceps training. Its very difficult for me to detail my leg training since my workouts are NEVER the same each time. But here was my last leg training session: First I start with either walking lunges or leg extensions. I usually walk around the gym 3 or 4 times while lunging. I find the lunges thoroughly warm up the knees and give me a wicked burn to get me psyched up for the rest of the routine. I immediately follow lunges with leg extension. I do my leg extension very strictly; I lock my legs out at the top for at least a 2 second hold, and I also point my toes up to the ceiling. The negative part of the movement is just as important, and I execute that slowly. I NEVER totally relax the quadriceps muscle at the bottom of the movement. I perform between 6 and 8 sets of leg extensions during the off season. Pre-contest, I add 2 more sets. My repetition range on extensions vary with each set. I try to do high reps (30 to 40) if my poundage is below 100. Over that, I decrease my reps. If I am feeling especially strong, or during pre-contest training, I superset each time around the gym (walking lunges) with a set of leg extensions. My next exercise is either the hack squat or the smith machine squat. I do 5 sets of this exercise. Again, my form is strict and slow. I don't bounce at the bottom of the movement, and I don't lock my knees out at the top. Instead of locking out my knees, I squeeze on my leg muscles. My rep range on these is usually 30 reps at 135 pounds( my first set). My other sets I increase in increments of 90 to 100 pounds and I perform between 10 and 15 reps. My next exercise is are single leg presses on the vertical leg press machine. I do this for shape, not size. I utilize one leg at a time, for 4 sets on each leg. I try no to go too heavy because I don't want to injure my knee. Most of the time, I perform this movement with 155 pounds for 20 rep sets. I keep the movement slow and strict; again, I don't lock out my knees and I squeeze my leg muscles at the top of the movement. My next to last exercise is sissy squat. Luckily, World Gym (where I train) has a machine for this exercise. I do this exercise for definition and shape. I perform 4 sets of 20 to 30 reps. I concentrate on squeezing my legs and glutes at the top of the movement, and I don't lock out my knees. I also squat down slow and deep. My final exercise is the inner thigh machine. I perform this with 140 pounds for 30 rep sets. The key to this exercise is to squeeze together with your knees! I finish off my leg training day with a 30 minute session on the stairmaster. And I do mean "finish". I think its important to note that I don't lift very heavy, which is quite the opposite of how I "look". I will not sacrifice form for the sake of lifting heavy weights to impress some one in the gym. Legs are difficult bodypart for most people to develop, but I think with patience, and strict training you will see results! to top -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Return to NBAF MAG main page -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Originally posted by JLB001 I'm believe it is the other way around. Going high weights less reps actually tears the fibers, which would make them grow. But then that is what everyone I train with tells me. |
| To lean them out, you would do more reps and less weights. |

Originally posted by JLB001 Noodles??? MMMMM, pasta! hehe Jstar...do you lift heavy all the way up to the show? I find that helps in keeping size. The only thing I stop training 14 days out are my legs. I'll do upper body workouts til that Wednesday before the show. Cutting legs out that far gets alot of the water out of them and your not forcing more blood into them and keeping them pumped. |
I mean my legs physically feel like they have done a weight w/o for DAYS now.

Originally posted by JLB001 I have a question.... If you have a friend that they had to take the baby before it was born, is it appropriate to send her a sympathy card? The baby wasn't developing properly and they had to perform an emergency surgery. I feel so bad for her, she is basically a good person just has had alot of issues in life. Now this happens. she has lived with Craig and I for a short period last year, when things were tough for her. |

Originally posted by JLB001 We'll get her a card this evening. I still have her Mom's addie, she is back there for now so we'll send it there. I know she is just devastated, I believe very much that God just wasn't ready for her to have a child yet. |
I ended up skipping my last carb meal with lunch because I couldn't stomach the thought of something sweet.|
Originally posted by JLB001 Jill...I do higher reps for myself. Just try it each way and see what works for you. I've done those incline lunges on the treadmill and they are killer! Can't really set the pace to high or you wouldn't be able to keep a good form with the lunge. Tam...I would go see her, but she is in Ashboro, NC. Kinda far to go visit, or I would. Keep the brownies??? Jillie...I made myself sick with the last bag before I baked them. I had so much of it, that the brownies were skinny ones and kinda hard after they were done. I ended up skipping my last carb meal with lunch because I couldn't stomach the thought of something sweet.Cat..your kinda right when you say she isn't responable enough to have a child. At 24 she has a hard time keeping a job, etc. But with the things she has gone through, losing an unborn child is something I wouldn't wish upon anyone. Misscarriages are extremely difficult to deal with. You tend to blame yourself for what happens even if it is something you could not have prevented. |
