Britney was great She's such an awesome performer and it was a lot of fun! My whole body was aching after standing up for like 5 hours though All the waiting kinda wore me down

Britney rocks though there were some overly pornal stuff, but most of the show was great, I loved all the dancing!

I'm tired now

Hey Greek Actually I don't think Britney is trash. Not many people can do what she does and I admire her for it. Yes, she's down right pornal sometimes, but her heart is in the right place

Justin, thanks baby

Hey girl, how do u like push/pull in comparison to bp splits? Since I am so anti-mass, I'm looking for new routines which will help me get firm, but not big (Damn those genes)



I can do it

Well, it has helped me a lot in leaning out, but it probably has to do with the fact that I had been doing the 4 day split for years and my body responded well to change. Before I lost my weight (I still have moooore to loose ) I thought I was too muscular, but it was just the fat making me look bulky
Push/pull won't make you gain a bunch of mass, so it might be a good move for you

Thanks honey! I have read that training each bodypart to failure leads to mass gain whereas more varied, circuit type approaches lead to a leaner, toned look.. So basically I'm between push/pull and some kind of circuit training..

Well you can't tone a muscle You either gain muscle or you don't. Circuit training won't make you gain as much muscle, so it's basicly just building a little bit of muscle and burns calories.

That's what I want

Push/pull is a kind of circuit training right?

Yesterday when I was teaching spinning I got a weird sensation in my heart.. It started hurting a little and I got really scared. I've felt it a little today too and I've been a little weak and seeing stars when moving too fast. I know it's probably nothing, but it scared me. I read about this girl in Oxygen who were 20 years old and fit but got some kind of heart failure and nearly died. Weird that I came across it today of all days Well, I talked to J'bo about it and she said it could be from not getting enough carbs. Well, I haven't been low carbing, so I don't know. But I raised carbs a little today and didn't do any cardio.

On a positive note, I had a pretty good workout today Today one of my friends there said "Jenny, you have lost a shitload of weight!! REALLY REALLY much!!". I was like "thanks ". And this weekend this competing bodybuilder who started working out at another gym a few months back came back to my gym and when he saw me he was like "holy crap, what have you been doing??".. It's fun, I'm really comfortable in my own skin again I still have ways to go though, I'm going to keep improving

Rest up darling! It sucks when you get scary pains.. but maybe your body just needs a break?

Have you been taking EC? I recommend taking a break off that if you are..



I can do it

Jenny, I'm don't believe carbs would have much to do with that or not. If you are taking any stimulants, as Greeky said, I would highly suggest coming off of them. If I recall you are taking some form of stimulant. You should cycle off of them for a week and see if the pain comes back. If it doesn't and you wish to continue with them, then start with 1 per day and increase and monitor yourself very CAREFULLY! JMHO.

I hope you feel better and congrats on the kick ass compliments

Hey girls
AJ- thank you sweetie

Greeky- I use stimulants sometimes, but not yesterday when I felt the pain.

Jodi- I always cycle them, I don't even take them two days in a row usually, I take one maybe 2-3 days a week. I'm sure I'm just one big worrier as usal However, I'm having a physical examination next week for the health record I need to send to the US university, so I'm going to have them look at the cardiac activity even though the Uni don't require heart check ups. It's not really a pain, just a weird sensation. Thank you
