Another freaking journal

**Jodi** · 02-24-2004, 08:54 PM

Ok, I was asked so here goes.

I do mini-cycles of Bulking and cutting. Typically 2 weeks bulk 2 weeks cut etc. Depends on how I feel and what my bodyfat levels are. I don't know my stats yet. I'm sitting slightly below 130lbs approx. 17% bodyfat. I will probably do them next week sometime.

I don't do cardio. I despise it. I carb cycle for my bulk and cut. When I'm cutting my carbs tend to be a bit cleaner than when I'm bulking. Also, while I'm bulking I have a cheat meal everynow and then which always includes mass quantities of alcohol.

My workouts are push/pull. High volume, moderate to high intensity, depends on that days energy. I do 2 days on 1 day off.

My supps include the following:

Multi-Vitamin
Multi-Mineral
Vit C
B-50 Complex
Cal-Mag
Potassium
Fish Oil
ALA
ICE
ECY (cycled)
Papya Enzymes
Ginger
Valerian Root
Leptigen - during Cut
Ab-Solved - during Bulk
LipoDerm Ultra - during Cut
FL7 - during Bulk

This weeks meals & workouts to follow.

Awesome, I look forward to reading this.

Why do you despise cardio?

Also, how effective have you found the bulk/cut scenario to be? I've been considering giving it a shot, and I'm wondering if the net gain will be comparable to that of a typical bulk. In other words, after a month long cycle, are you at the same body fat as before, yet with a little extra mass, or do you sometimes find yourself going in circles?

I hope that wasn't too confusing.

**PreMier** · 02-24-2004, 09:14 PM

Just wanted to say hello, and follow along

**Jodi** · 02-24-2004, 09:22 PM

I'm Trying - I have a pill case that sorts by pills LOL!

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

PreMier - Thanks and hello to you too

Funky, I didn't forget about you my dear

Jen - Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy my journals.

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.

**greekblondechic** · 02-24-2004, 09:48 PM

Hi hon

I eat enough that I don't need any cardio to so I can eat more. Some days its hard enough eating what I have to eat. So for that reason cardio is not necessary for me. The only time I'll do cardio is if I'm really bored while waiting for a client or if its outdoor cardio. I like to go Mt. Bike riding.

Hi Greeky - It depends on the type of whoring. I'm not big on chatter unless its questions, concerns, remarks etc.

**tucker01** · 02-25-2004, 06:44 AM

Hey Jodi,

About time you started another freaking journal here j/k

Hope everything is going well down in AZ, I envy you with all that warm weather.

Ya know I will be following along quietly.

**Jill** · 02-25-2004, 08:05 AM

I am so glad you started a journal here! I love reading them! The other day I was actually reading some of you old journals!

BTW, are you a personal trainer?

**ncgirl21** · 02-25-2004, 09:06 AM

Hey Jodi!! I'm glad you started a journal, you seem super smart about fitness, etc. so I look forward to reading it!

What does Leptigen and Lipoderm Ultra do to you?

**Jenny** · 02-25-2004, 09:35 AM

YEAY!!

I missed ya

Even had to start looking for you elsewhere

**Jodi** · 02-25-2004, 09:57 AM

LOL - You guys are too funny.

Thanks Iain, Jill, ncgirl21 & Jenny

Yes Jill I am a personal trainer. I do it part time

NC - Leptigen and Lipoderm Ultra are products by Avant. The Leptigen helps keep leptin levels higher while you are dieting. When leptin levels are higher it keeps your body out of starvation mode and you tend to burn more fat. It also curbs the appetite because it raises leptin. LipoDerm Ultra is a localized fat mobilizer. It releases fat from the cells in the area that its applied as FFA to be used for energy. It works great on the butt, hips & thighs

**Jodi** · 02-25-2004, 01:27 PM

Here is a better description of the Leptigen

Leptigen -- a metabolic optimizer. Will keep leptin and related hormones elevated even when dieting. It is also an effective nutrient partitioner. By sending the Fed signal to your body, effects will be hunger supression, increased metaboilism, more effective dieting, calories being sent dispropotionately high to the muscle, rather than adipose.

**ncgirl21** · 02-25-2004, 01:39 PM

Thanks!! I might just have to check those out!!
