30 minutes of brutal cardio on the eliptical that damn near killed me.

10 minutes on the tread at a fast walk, grade 8.

Where are you that they banned Ephedrine? We got a ton of it....

w8lifter · 01-28-2002, 02:58 PM

Canaduh! But no worries, I'm happy once again and can make it through my cardio

Lorraine · 01-28-2002, 08:46 PM

W8~I had heard from others that Ephedrine was banned in Canada, but when I was there in September, I saw Hydroxycut all over the place.

Out of curiosity I picked it up to see if the ingredients where the same. As far as I could tell they were. So, what's up with that?

w8lifter · 01-28-2002, 09:03 PM

Nope, the hydroxycut here is shiat....it has something else in it that is similar to the ephedra, I forget what it's called...but it doesn't have the ephedra. You used to be able to buy pure ephedrine, sold as a nasal decongestant, but now they've pulled that...buggers

You mean the 51st State

I just picked some up this morning. Was thinking about my comment and thought maybe it was the competition you were training for that banned and tested for Ephedrine.

No, the comp is drug tested, but not for over the counter stuff, so I'm fine w/ the ephedrine

Hi w8!!! Hmmm, this forum looks very similiar to...

Cool workouts. Can't wait to meet up in April!

Yahoo. Now I'm happy. Too many people keep disappearing in the forums, never to be seen or heard from again. Well, almost.

I'm hovering comfortably between 129-130lb and 12-13% bodyfat. It's creeped up over the last couple weeks. <BOOZE. If I do the figure on April 6/02 I wanna be 120-122lb and 8-9%. I want to lose the least amount of muscle possible this time. We'll see. So much to do!!! Right now I really need to wean myself on my all out beer drinking weekends that start early Friday evening and don't end til Sunday night. It's catabolic to my muskles.

And I'm noticing a little more pudge.

w8lifter · 02-04-2002, 07:51 PM

Hey girlie...welcome to ironmag

Well, I'm starting to get weaker, my lifts are dropping...dieting so sucks.

I'm gonna change this leg workout next week, I've done this for 4 weeks. I'm also gonna add a calf workout on the weekend sometime. I'm so tired by the end of my leg workout that I'm not giving my calves the attention I should be.

I haven't dropped any scale weight yet, but I am leaning out a bit.

Feb. 7, Thurs.

45 minutes elliptical

I'm gonna try and get in some conditioning today, if I have the energy

I've got to work on my kicks.

Here, this is ME!

craig777 · 02-07-2002, 09:54 AM

I'll be more than happy to give your calves some attention if they need some. That is if mmafiter doesn't mind.

What are you into karate, kick boxing? Do you have a belt color like triple quadruple a$$ kicking black belt.

She CLAIMS to be a fifth level "ALBOB's a$$ kicker" but that's a recurring fantasy of hers. (That's where the above joke comes from.) It's actually a third level "Getting her a$$ kicked BY ALBOB".

w8lifter · 02-07-2002, 10:30 AM

Not likely albutt...the degree I hold is 10th and it is in fact called: Kicked Albob-Ass ryu

Actually, I hold a brown belt in karate...my biatch wanted me to go for black in nov but I was soooo sick of karate I just didn't want to train for it. I mostly do kickboxing/pad work now...but I haven't even done that in so long

....and who cares what mmafiter thinks *sticks out calf*

craig777 · 02-07-2002, 11:52 AM

Oh yea baby. Albob you can have a butt kicking contest if you want, I am just going stay right here massaging this here calf. Oh by the way how are your hams doing, and the glutes too. Can't ignore those.

w8lifter · 02-07-2002, 12:20 PM

LOL

My glutes could use some work too

Sore from me kicking them so much.

CLPgold · 02-07-2002, 01:53 PM

I am officially starting my '8 week out' diet on Saturday. I am finishing off Friday night with a lot of beers....then no more til the end of April. Wah hahahaha.

I hear ya on the size w8. I never thought I could weigh this much. The strength I have right now is awesome. It's such a rush to be able to do the weights I'm at right now. My dream was to make it to 124lbs. competition ripped, a few years ago. By next year I should be at or close to that goal. This year I could hope to come anywhere from 112-118lb ripped. I'll have to see it when I'm done. If I do the figure comp. though I'd be looking more around 120-122lb not so ripped.

I still haven't heard back on whether I can do a show on the 20th. So right now I'm still eyeing the bb comp. But the figure and Fitness Model Search do sound fun. Is it wise to do 2 Fitness Model Searches in 1 month, or do you think it will hopefully up my chances somewhere along the way? Cuz I've been planning on the one at the end of April since the summer.

Gotta go back to work by 4:30pm. Just a little time to play on the 'net.

w8lifter · 02-07-2002, 06:37 PM

I don't see why you couldn't do the two shows in one month...I'm thinking about it.

I cheated today

....I had two bugels, a ritz cracker and I liked sweetened peanut butter off the spoon. .............ok, I lied.

...I dipped the damn knife back in the peanut butter on purpose, then licked it off!

Damn my kids for having junk in the house

oh yeah....I also had a handful of those sugared mini wheats

Vai Fan · 02-08-2002, 05:50 AM

You're pretty damn dedicated, good job.

So, your idea of a cheat day is just that stuff?!? Last Friday I had a major cheat day; I had a philly cheesesteak sandwich with a few fries, and used WHOLE milk with my Myoplex! See if you can top that!

I agree about having kids junk food around. I have no problem or temptations throughout the day while at work, but when I get home, the little brats are ready for a snack, like, nutty buddys, chocolate, chips, etc. And I absolutely LOVE that stuff. Although I must admit, it's been six weeks since I've eaten any of that crap.
So, I grab some cottage cheese out of the fridge, and pretend it's chocolate mousse or a big, fat piece of pie. Yeah, quite an imagination, I know.

Anyway, good job, for what it's worth from a newbie like myself.

w8lifter · 02-08-2002, 06:24 AM

LOL....yeah, well, I can cheat w/ the best of them, but when I'm dieting for a show...there should be no cheating at all....gggrrrr...must....have....willpower

Cheating only makes you more dedicated and will help you reach your milestones. Or is it the guilt from cheating. Oh well, one way or another, either will make you work harder to achieve your goals. You are obviously not having any problems meeting your milestones....it is apparent. Keep up the hard work and training
