Originally posted by Jodi Nate - I have been able to successfully keep my bodyfat lower and I've made some great muscle gains. Granted its a little bit slower than if I did a full all out bulk but it keeps me happy from not having to buy new clothes while I'm bulking ![]() |
Yay another journal to read!

Originally posted by Nate Awesome. I think I might give it a shot come wintertime.(mini-cylces, that is) I have too many social obligations to let my weight get out of hand during a bulk. It sounds superficial, but I'd rather be as lean and fit looking as possible should a big job interview show up. Right now I'm trying to bulk using slow burners with some of the ideas that hardasnails has presented, as well as some other stuff from John Berardi. I like hardasnails idea that you can eat well above maintenance, yet do a moderate amount of cardio to cancel out the overeating. The timing of the cardio of crucial of course. Anyway, I've had decent luck so far...we'll see. |

I just fixed it - you could tell what was what because I didn't post the places I measured.

Originally posted by Jill Way to go Jodi! On average, how much muscle to think someone can put on in a month? Just an estimate is fine. |
|
Originally posted by Jodi TCD where the hell have you been? Its nice to see you round again. I'm almost ashamed to say this but I actually missed you. |
It sucks. It doesn't get out of hand too much but when it does, things just don't work right.
*hugs*

Originally posted by Jodi Thanks ![]() No I don't do standard squats anymore. Usually 1 Legged HS Lunge/Squats or Hack Squats or the 1 Legged Leg Press. Squatting was causing me some issues. Definately not afraid of my legs getting too big again. I actually need them to grow a bit more. I'm preparing to compete in lightweight bb this fall so I need some legs again

Originally posted by P-funk Do you not squat anymore because of your back injury form goodmornings? |
I don't know how he did it. I just saw the knee rip out I didn't know he hurt his spine too.
|
Originally posted by Jodi That's one of the reasons and another is my hip and another is because I'm scared to death now I saw a really bad accident from squatting and my friend in NH at the gym I use to go to in NH said the guy is even paralyzed now. I don't know how he did it. I just saw the knee rip out I didn't know he hurt his spine too. I've tried a few times and as soon as I get the bar behind my back, I start shaking uncontrollably. I can't believe I use to squat 225x8 without a spotter.
|
lol|
Originally posted by Monolith omg... the guys knee ripped out? Yeah, i dont think i'd be doing squats either after seeing that... |
I'm scared now.
|
Originally posted by greekblondechic and you told me to do squats lolthe reason im hesitant on the docusate sodium is I dont want to be dependant on anything like that... |

Originally posted by greekblondechic Stupid question...whats the benefits of push/pull as opposed to a normal bodypart split? |
How is he doing?

Now I only have to have 6-8 caps per day.

Originally posted by Jodi Yes, its cheaper. This high potency stuff cost me a small fortune but worth it IMO. |


Mmmmmmmmmm Beer!

Originally posted by Jodi 4 1 Legged Ham Presses: 230x8, 230x8, 230x8, 230x8 |
I know my ham strength has certainly increased. I've been working hard at that because its one of my weaker bodyparts. I remember a few months ago I was only doing 90lbs for the 1 legged ham press and only 60lbs for leg curls.
your stength on those has gone up like CRAZY!!! way to go superwoman!!
Thank Jen.
They really burn your hams and butt 
These have really done the trick to bring my hams up
FUN!!! and intense!
Originally posted by Jodi Thank Jen.1 Legged Ham press - Put your feet really high on the leg press so that your toes are hanging off. Remove 1 leg and press it They really burn your hams and butt ![]() Ever since my minor back injury last fall I have trouble doing SLDL or good mornings These have really done the trick to bring my hams up
|
|
Originally posted by Jill What kind of protein do you use Jodi? |
|
Originally posted by atherjen interval skipping?? FUN!!! and intense! Ive got to try those ham presses! I have never seen or heard of anyone do them, this is a first. next week. I just did hammies yestarday. they sound great, thanks.
|
|
Originally posted by P-funk That is a good exercise and really fries the hammies and butt. The only thing I would be careful of is coming down to far and letting your butt come up off the pad or even letting your pelvis tilt posteriorly to much. It is very compromising for the back, mainly the lumbar spine. I know a guy that borke his back like this once. Good exercise though. Great journal Jodi |

|
Originally posted by Jodi Skipping is one of the only things I don't mind doing for cardio in the gym. I hate those damn Lemming machines
|
| Oh, I am VERY careful about that. Actually anything with my back I'm extremely careful with now. I find the 1 legged ham presses less stressful on my back than SLDL and Good mornings. |
So much for high carb + day 
|
Originally posted by Jodi Diet started out yesterday as High Carb day. I got 2 carb meals in........then, things got nasty. I think I have the 24 hour bug or something. Obviously I didn't eat much else yesterday. So much for high carb + day ![]() Still feeling crappy today but alot better. If I'm feeling much better later and I get some nutrition down I may attempt the gym
|
I don't know yet. I probably won't go.

Originally posted by Jodi To do the lying lateral raise, you just lay on 1 side, hold the dumbell fully extended arm in front of your thigh and raise. 1 side at a time. |

Originally posted by Jill Jodi-for someone like myself (you know my body type/training) what amount of cals would I aim for if: 1. Trying to lose bf 2. Maintenance What "#" X my bodyweight? |
|
Originally posted by Monolith Very nice ham presses. I forgot to try them on saturday.
|

Everytime I think I've found it, its time to increase. People look at me like I'm a freak sometimes with these ham presses. My hams aren't getting any bigger, just stronger I suppose

Its the ONLY thing I can't control myself with. This will stop tonight 
? Weird eh, I dont eat it that much either. Yesterday I got rid of all the CRAP left in my pantry etc...I was bored last night-must have opened the pantry/fridge 5x, FORTUNATELY their was nothing to snack on!
Have a super day hon!

Originally posted by Jodi Thanks ![]() I'm still trying to figure out where my max is on these Everytime I think I've found it, its time to increase. People look at me like I'm a freak sometimes with these ham presses. My hams aren't getting any bigger, just stronger I suppose

Originally posted by Jill In all honesty, Im kinda getting sick of Pb ? Weird eh, I dont eat it that much either.

That was my problem last night and every time I opened the fridge there was that freaking PB staring at me in the face. I love all nut butters and OMG never put a jar of nuts in my face

Originally posted by butterfly Just wanted to say HI

Hello to you too
I hope all is well with you and the baby
Originally posted by Monolith ![]() I cant imagine what you might be able to do on SLDL's... its probably a good thing you dont do them anymore. Might block up the gym with people staring at you.
|
Then I hurt my back doing Good mornings and have scared myself since in doing any movement as such
|
Originally posted by Jodi Hi Ann Hello to you too I hope all is well with you and the baby

I love the weather. 
At least I worked it into my meals. I am not buying any more.

It's for my boyfriends bulk. However if he doesn't finish it off soon, I will
|
Originally posted by Jill Ohhhhhhhhh. Im having the very same problem with the fucking sf jam I bought last night. A couple of months ago you said to get rid of it-easy enough. Now, that I bought some Ive caught myself eating it by the spoon! I can totally realate to ya darling!
|

|
Originally posted by Jodi Nutbutters and Nuts are my only freaking weakness. I can control myself with everything but those
|
I wonder why we all have a weakness for pb. I ate half a jar in a day like a month ago
Threw the damn thing out, problem solved 

Just a suggestion
No that won't work for me either.

Maybe store it at someone elses house til he gets back? Or your fridge at work? (Maybe that isn't a good idea though)..or put a moousetrap on it...hehe

Originally posted by Monolith Make yourself sick on the rest of the PB... give yourself some nice negative reinforcement that PB = bad.
