Blooming Lotus · 07-26-2007, 05:33 AM

It just occured to me less than an hr ago, that after having trained so hard and long for so many years in body prep, .. practically from nappys no less .. that during my transitional work break mid - end of last yr, I think i've lifted more already for more reps than the reigning olympic record holder for the lowest fml division. I really dont know how much i can gain on that or how often I'll be working out or posting, but since I'm lifting aanyway and coming into a new high performance science masters wind up where I'm expected to take a gym membership anyway.. I think I'd like you all to witness how I go. I could still fall on my ass yet, but , i'm optimistic and pumped for it nonetheless..
any critque or ribbing would be read and noted

.

Thanks for getting thiis far.

P.s. Dont expect any thing huge for a little while ( 5 -6 -7 wks )and all will be well

should be fun

PreMier · 07-26-2007, 01:42 PM

What are your stats? m/f height/weight/goals?

Blooming Lotus · 07-26-2007, 04:22 PM

Thanks Fitgirl.

Stats
fml
32
height 169 cm
weight ( atm swing around abouts) 97- 101 lbs
BF low but unsure . TBA.

I've always been around this weight since I first got sick 15 yrs ago. The lowest Olympic weight division for fmls is 53 kgs ( 116.85 lbs) and under I think (?.). I'm also only so light because Prior this , my focus hasn''t been about hypertrpohy so much as functional strength and density and endurance.
I have very little doubt that I'd be able to re-enact my PR lift and progress on that, but it'll most likely just come down to for me at what weight I'm going to do it from.
So hypertyrophy and continuance of endurance and aerobic performance is my main goal atm, and to pick up my flexibilty which I imagine will just happen anyway . The most interesting part of my program for myself is what I can do for extra complex carbs without killing my liver . . . which If I drop off in the right places will dictate just how that'll go and how fast it 'll happen.

Like i said, loads of fun

PreMier · 07-26-2007, 04:57 PM

Cool.. sounds interesting. Where are you from? What kind of program are you running and are you actually looking at competing?

Blooming Lotus · 07-26-2007, 05:13 PM

Yeh. I'm quite pumped for it myself.. but then i usually always am when it comes to training or anything to do it with it at all really..

Anyway, I'm in Australia atm on the Gold Coast. After I tie up my masters I'm heading out to Pheonix Arizona to study for a Ph.d.

I do plan to compete because i usually just find myself in that situation anyway.. the money in the U.S. from discpiline to discipline isn't exactly a big deterant for me neither

.

I haven't written up the exact details of the new program just yet , and i probably won't until I get my uni schedule in swing, but It'll probably be something like 3 weeks on 3 weeks off hypertrophy vs endurance and with some hiit / pylo cycling / cardio and bwe and callesthenics as the constant .. 3 - 4 sessions of something or other / day. I'm sure there'll be much more to it but I am definately looking forward to getting stuck into PR's and recouping my flexibilty .

when will your first logged workout be?

Blooming Lotus · 07-26-2007, 05:18 PM

Like I said, don't expect anything huge for a few weeks, but i'll think about it next week . Maybe then. I was actually reading DOMS's journal last night and I think i might spend a few weeks fortifying a base before I get into the bigger stuff. He is kicking ass!

soxmuscle · 07-26-2007, 05:19 PM

...so whats this journal for?

Blooming Lotus · 07-26-2007, 05:21 PM

What ever any of us get out of it. If you 're going to start shit here though, don't bother because I just wont do it.

cheers.

soxmuscle · 07-26-2007, 05:25 PM

I'm not starting shit. I'd be interested in seeing your workouts and don't really understand the point of a journal without them.

katt · 07-26-2007, 05:28 PM

Wow - you're really lean for your height..

Blooming Lotus · 07-26-2007, 05:37 PM

yeh. I think it's because of the types of carbs I do and how much less of certain types I do than ppl who lift and shoot for hypertrophy. I really admire ppl who can pull off a tight lean waist and still bulk .. lots of fun

.

Sox. get off my ass already because if you look around, most ppl here who have a journal going also post about other relative stuff to that. If you are interested, as I 'm pretty sure you might be if training high performance is an interest of yours then stay around and stay tuned or don't.

cheers.

PreMier · 07-26-2007, 05:43 PM

Do you have pictures?

Blooming Lotus · 07-26-2007, 06:46 PM

I'm fairly sure these aren't exactly what you were looking for. These were during the time I was sick abnd dengenerating aswell, but at least you get a little bit of an idea what i've been working with and can kind of guage from there.
I'll take some befores in a cpl of weeks and i'll try to update them as I go.
I wish had some better ones for you but here you go nonetheless

Blooming, you are an attractive woman. I'll play nice from now on.

Well i'd be nice to you even if i thought you weren't.

Swing for the fences is an American baseball colloquialism that means to try your best for only through your best efforts will you achieve your best results.

It was my way of saying good fortune and to wish you the best.

Crazy American's. . but i get it.

Did I miss it? Can I ask what kind of "sick" you were/are?

Don't sweat the journal sweetie, we're all just very excited to see a fellow fitness enthusiast and when there is no fitness/workouts, etc. of any type, we just tend to wonder. We all know there are periods in everyone's life [journal] where there are no workouts due to injury, off-seasons, taking breaks or whatever the case may be. Hell, look at Burner, he was cut and nearly killed at his job and has taken quite his share of beatings from everyone about where the hell his workouts are.

We are just a big community here and we care about our friends.

Just FYI!!!

Good luck to you.
