As boobs unfortunately drop with my bf, I have no further need of anything helping me look less like a girly should I can and will get those bad boys up unaided!

Well, if you ever need a hand getting those "bad boys" into position, you just let me know...

 

[nikegurl]

You and I have the same goal there - hell, I'll take a single with the 50's on chest and retire happy

Do you reckon you're close NG? I'm trying UD2 at the moment, so with a creatine packed heavy carb load inside me ... I just wonder if I may get there in the next few weeks. Maybe with the right drugs - suggestions Mono?!

Hi Novo. Yeah - I'm close. I get decent reps with the 45s so I could probably get the 50s at least a couple of times. I'm using gopro's p/rr/s routine now so maybe I'll try 'em next power week and see what happens. (2 weeks)

Are you following the UD2 training plan along with the diet or just the eating portion of the plan? Bet your refeeds are fun!

 

[nikegurl]

my dumbass missed my preworkout meal and i now have no doubt - it matters.

first 2 sets went really well but then my strength fell off a bit and i got really nauseous. it was also the first day i tried NO-Xplode so maybe there was some kind of blood sugar thing going on there from not eating and taking it.

not blaming the NO-Xplode - just wondering.

workout turned out ok. i just felt like puking through most of it.

Me too! Well, the 45's, not gopro. I wonder if we just decide we WILL get them before October ... it will be self-fulfilling

Are you following the UD2 training plan along with the diet or just the eating portion of the plan? Bet your refeeds are fun!

Yup, both - it's an integrated plan, wouldn't work well without the training (I'd just get fat I think!). Carb-loads are GOOD, they'd be better if fat and sugar were in there too (I'd like cheesecake please Lyle), but starches are cool too. I'm like you, I like bread - it's great to HAVE to have it

 

[nikegurl]

i like that idea! it's decided. we WILL get them before October. and actually get them so we use them on chest day. none of that - i pushed 'em up twice and now i'm back to the 45s for a few more months. by october we'll both be strong enough to use those bad boys in our workouts. (i'm 5 lbs behind on inclines - i'm aiming for the 50s for flat)

does the training portion of UD2 have you doing full bodyworkouts? i think i'd hate that part. that probably means it'd be good for me.

do you keep a log over at avant?

 

[Novo]

Yes - it's full body stuff. Well, depletion days needn't be, but I structure it that way (those workouts will always suck, they are meant to! Painful, long, nauseous). But the other two - a tension w/o (fairly standard BB style full body, 8ish rep), and then the power (which I LOVE, heavy heavy low rep after the CL, feeling strong ), they are both enjoyable. It's making for a nice change.

DEAL! October. We'll do it.

No log at Avant, TP banned me because I started posting a UD2 log at the bodyrecomp forum (seemed to make sense to me )




Well, OK, He didn't ban me. Just made me cry.

 

[nikegurl]

awwwwww. don't you cry! we have ourselves a deal - 50s by october

sounds like you're enjoying the UD2. change is definitely good.

 

[Novo]

Gulp! DEAL ::shaking hands wit'ya girly::

 

[Jodi]

awwwwww. don't you cry! we have ourselves a deal - 50s by october

sounds like you're enjoying the UD2. change is definitely good.

I'm sure you both will reach your goal by October.

How bout if you both reach your goal you have to come to Vegas with me I do wish you two could both come along

 

[nikegurl]

i just posted in your journal (before i read this) that i swear no matter WHAT (i.e. picture me hitchiking across the desert) i am going next year. i hope you won't be sick of it by then.

 

[nikegurl]

as for the 50s...i'm pretty sure i could get a couple of reps now since i can get 6 with the 45s but i'm so nuts that 2 or 3 reps won't make me happy. i'll just be mad i didn't get 5 or 6

 

[Jodi]

You better

As for the 50's......just go for it

 

[nikegurl]

hey jodi - you may be in for a bad afternoon....some new virus making the rounds via emailed zip files and you KNOW people are gonna open that crap. good luck.

 

[Jodi]

OMG - do you know the subject title or anything about it?

 

[nikegurl]

They just told us it's a ???NEW VIRUS THREAT??? - so new they hadn't seen a name for it yet. Apparently the Norton Anti-Virus program doesn't yet detect or remove or quarantine the infected item. (uh oh)

They blocked zip files from entering our system in the meantime. The said it comes as a Foto.zip attachment or some variation of that.

 

[nikegurl]

you're in my prayers.

 

[PreMier]

Why are you taking a NO supplement?

35 g fat

I was freaking starving in the middle of the night and my leg workout really beat me into the ground....

At first I was thinking I need to eat more. But my fat loss has slowed a little and more calories doesn't seem quite right to remedy that. Now I'm thinking I might want to do a version of carb cycling again. I was thinking 2 no carb days a week (non lifting days) 3 or 4 low carb days that are about how I've been eating now and 1 or 2 days of higher carbs (like leg day). Weekly calories would be the same as now...but I might feel better and maybe it'll speed up fat loss. I'll give it another week before fiddling around.

 

[Jodi]

Before you do any of that, I would suggest adding cardio

[nikegurl]

Before you do any of that, I would suggest adding cardio

I know....can I do 30 minutes on the treadmill 3 times a week to start? I raise and lower the incline and the speed but not as intensely as HIIT would demand.

Cardio would obviously boost the fat loss - but what about the fact that I'm waking up at 4 am positively starving and I'm so totally drained after a standard leg workout? Just suck it up or do you think it's b/c my calories are too low?

 

[CourtQueen]

HEY NIKE!!!!
Now where were you when I was out there?????
We had a blast. It was crazy crazy crazy....
Good to see you still going strong.

Yes, 3x a week for 30 mins. on the treadmill is good and will help.

How about on leg day you increase your cals and add 200 more in. That way it will help so you don't wake up. You are eating carbs PWO right?
