This is why I'm not.

**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

Good luck!

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

I wasn't on your ass, just wondering what purpose this journal served.

good luck.

What's that supposed to mean? 32 is young.

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

**Blooming Lotus** · 07-26-2007, 10:45 PM

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

Stop stinking up my journal with this stuff anyway. Sleazy comments do not win votes here.

Hey Oaktown boy: thx. Must be the English / Portugese in me. I blame my family mostly.

thanks.

Swing for the fences BL. You will get there with the right mind set ...

**Blooming Lotus** · 07-27-2007, 12:34 AM

I don't do swing BC. Enough unrelated personal anyway. .and I know. ( as an after thought) .. that's where I look to buddhism to keep my head on.. as uncool as that might or not be. Back atchyoU all equally anyway.

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.

**Blooming Lotus** · 07-27-2007, 02:11 AM

Oohhh( blush) .

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.

That must have been in your dreams "darlin' ", 'cause EVERYONE has heard how you and I have never even met!

You ready to throw down now?

We better quit whoring BL's journal....

**Burner02** · 07-27-2007, 10:48 AM

heh.. good old throw downs huh.. never know who might turn up for one of things

Anyway, i don't do sweetie love lovie darling neither .. good way to put me on a backfoot with a person.. as likely as youure probably going to find yourrself offended, .. but I was going to come back and post this morning and say that if ppl keep breathing on me for a schedule theyy would prefer to see then..I might not want to that. I saaid at start of this thread that I would show something within 5-6-7 wks or so and I'm likely going to , as I usually do and have over the years, spend more daily hrs at it than most ppl - possibley working harder and with likely bigger goals in mind.. i would get jack, snot and drop it( shrug) than continue to take shit from ppl here for what for my benefit??

I have a liver disease that I'm doing my best not to be dying from. That means if I eat certain things I get ill very quickly and i can go into liver failure. .which is cool because it just means that i have to eat reeally clean and reeally efficiently as I possibly can.. and keep my body strong and supple and my internal thermostat at a slightly higher kick than most usually have to.
Because of the thermal thing, I can sometimes run into trouble with pottasium ( re - fluid and temp regulation and heart function .. cough cough cough cough:/

..) and because when a person trains massive loads and becomes dehydrated they can develop a dry nerve line and brain .. tumor and variations.. when I ran into a transitional work contract over last christmas , where I was lifting what I still think is fucking phenomenal amounts of weight for my size or otherwise, and in all different movements and ranges and heights and directions - ( and which i think I could improve further on yet in healthier more clinically fed times and on better daily routine

) and working for 12 hr shifts sometimes up to 13 days in a row(

for 3-4 months ) - 3 hrs rtn travel - sometimes no breaks or not til 2-3pm from 7 or 8am - not even sometimes so much as a chance to slurp at a waterfountain -bastards.. - and I guess i just overtrained myself to within inches.. I've been in death throws before with my liver and counseled myself though but this on top of that was pretty fucking scary. .. I can only empathasise with those that go down like that... and those they do that for..

Anyway, if i need to work while I'm back at uni soon I'm re-organised for security guarding so that's what I'll do and should be sweet to explode otherwise in whatever areas I've spent so long replanning..

i have worked out some hrs up to 6 - 8 a day since then but no where neear consistently.. because my body needed some recovery first I guess.. as nice as it was to test the water of how far shot each aspect got and play with what to do about it...
I'm going to change that routine to more faciltate hypertrophy cycles for 3 weeks out of 6 and bigger lifts - which is exciting the hell out of me at the moment

- .. I figure my recovery regime and gains plan will be something like driving a 4 gear motorbike.. from 1 st to 4 th to 2nd to 3 rd to 2 nd to 1 st to half back to 1 st and back to 4 th and so on..
so I'm by any means not rushing for aanyone.. this is my drum and i 'll dance to it however I choose.
I'm pretty optimistic I can still do big things myself in world class sporting acheivements in the next few and several yrs but it's not something that can be rushed. I feel youre all privildged to eaves this way drop to be frank.. and if you don't then okay. I 'll still be doing it all anyawy.

My situation and supps are in a rapid change up cycle atm and the 7 -keto / lipofusion combo have been soo godamming good that I'm really excited to see what the next fortnight and month is going to do for me. I'll see what next week produces anyway and if I'm still posting here then I 'll bare in mind that this here and that i can post about it .
