Today's Workout - I decided to split up Phase III week 2 like I did last week. Except this week will be 6 days working out instead of 4. I can't only workout for 3 days in 1 week and feel comfortable with it right now.

I had my posing class before my workout today. I think posing really affected my workout because I was drained afterwards. My lifts were pretty poor today

Ah well, sacrafice I guess because I really need to learn to pose.

2 Chin Up: BWx7, BWx6
2 DB Curl: 25x8, 25x7

Superset
2 Cable Curl: 60x10, 60x8
2 Reverse Cable Press: 100x10, 100x8

Superset:
2 DB Calf: 75x8, 75x7
2 DB Shrug: 75x8, 75x6

**P-funk** · 06-15-2004, 02:57 AM

Posing class??

Rocco32 · 06-15-2004, 05:13 AM

That's cool your in a posing class! Is it private or open to the public?

**Jodi** · 06-15-2004, 08:23 AM

It's not really a class. There are 2 women at my gym that have been competing for a long time. One day talking with them, they offered their help. So once a week now I will be learning how to pose with them.

They are huge...........I feel so little standing next to them

One is middleweight and the other heavyweight.

**IainDaniel** · 06-15-2004, 08:27 AM

Jodi - I envy your dedication, you Rock! you will be a machine come comp time.

BTW - quick question. Any books or references you would recommend reading for nutritional/fitness info?

Thanks
Iain

Monolith · 06-15-2004, 10:07 AM

Thats awesome to have two veterans there to help with your posing! Youre gonna rock this comp.

I'm pretty fortunate I think. They are awesome. They are both competing in 3 weeks here in Phoenix. I'm going to the show, I can't wait to see them in action

They are killer lean its unbelievable seeing them pose. Muscles popping out from everywhere.

I can only hope I look somewhat as good as they do.

Nothing in Particular, Just want to learn a little. As I have seen how much you have grown here. Just figured you would have some good Ideas where to start.

**Jodi** · 06-15-2004, 03:42 PM

Well, the only books I've read are NHE, which I thought was a waste. It's your standard low carb diet.

I also read Lyle's Keto book which was decent but again, a low carb diet neither of which I will ever follow again.

Other than that, I have a great trainer

, excellent refereneces and ready material at Avant's site and I read and reasearch alot on the internet.

Monolith · 06-15-2004, 07:23 PM

Hey Jodi, how is Lyle's keto book? I was thinking of buying that and his UD2.0 book. Does he bring up anything new? Is it worth the $20?

JLB001 · 06-15-2004, 07:53 PM

Jodi..posing takes alot out of you. Learn them early!

Oh...get your routine together early too! Mine sucked.

hikerchick · 06-15-2004, 09:28 PM

Hey Jodi,

I don't know why I just noticed the link in your sig. That is a great bunch of information you have gathered together! Thanks for all the hard work in putting that together.

Also, good luck on your comp. YOu are an inspiration to us all.

Jill · 06-15-2004, 10:11 PM

Hey Jodi. Why are you against low carb dieting? Bad experiences?

I thought it was an EXCELLENT baseline for beginners. I do think its worth it but it is easy read.

Funny you say that. I was going to ask you something today. Did you hurt like hell the next day?

I swear I'm in more freaking muscle pain today than I am from lifting these past few weeks that were tough

Bad experience, not while I was on a low carb plan, more like when I tried coming off of it.

My body was messed up. Once I decided to try other things and come off low carb diets my body halted and fought me for a while. My body could no longer process carbs properly and any carb days that consisted more than 50G carbs killed me. I was literally in pain for a while. I could not go to the bathroom properly

and I was bloated with more than 50G per DAY! It was torture. I use to dread low carb days, never mind high carb days. High carb days were obviously the worst. I couldn't eat many carbs but I knew my body needed them. FOr the first month or so I was happier on No carb days than any other day. It took a bit for my body to kick into gear again and sometimes I still have issues that I never had before but I love my carbs now and I have energy in the gym that I never had before. Also, after doing low carb for almost 2 years and never getting far didn't help. Once I switched and followed TP's advice (mind you it was comp dieting so I was stricter) I became leaner than I ever have and still enjoyed having more carbs.

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
