84 Days To Musclemania - 12 Weeks!!!

[dvlmn666]

wow, you have been geting plenty of sleep. Whatcha resting up for? j/k

looks like yoru working really hard, good luck in your next comp.

 

[CLPgold]

LOL thankx dv. Well I'm resting up so I can...GROW!!! LMAO. I want to get bigger, and have more intense workouts ( all kinds of workouts hehe)

I'm doing the Musclemania on July 20th in Toronto. I've never gone into a comp yet thinking I was going to win. I just wanted to be there, gain experience and meet people. This one is mine!!! I am going to be so ready. I'm so pumped and focused right now. I just need to get back on track with the diet, which will happen tomorrow since it's 11 weeks out then. I am mentally prepared. My workouts are getting pretty intense again. I've been doing some serious assessing and critiqueing of my physique and making some training changes and adding in exercises for lagging parts.

 

[CLPgold]

Glutes - I trained glutes today instead of bi's and tri's cuz Wil was sick and wanted to do it tomorrow. I was going to make Saturday my glute day since we won't be training on that day regularly. Wil isn't into glute training. He's a guy, go figure. He's got nice glutes anyways.

We're hitting the GoodLife Gold's tomorrow instead too. YUMMI>

Saw SH#1 today again. I haven't even spoken to him all week. I just avoid him. What do I say? OMG were you ever a f****** loser at the comp? WELL??? I'm just so uninterested in him now...

Saw SH#2 (the absolutely gorgeous body builder that I hooked up with a couple months ago but then it just kinda stopped after a week ) I am still head over heels for him. He kept walking by me today (more than usual, like right by me and it's a huge gym), but I just completley ignored him too. If he wants me again he's gonna have to be a little more aggressive, I don't want to make any assumptions and mess it up. I'm worried though cuz I know I could get way too attached to that boy. I already kinda am and I hardly know him. I'm just a mess over the whole situation. So it's time for a new infatuation.

Anyways, back to my glutes LMAO

Hey CLP! I'm glad to see you're so pumped about your comp! I really think you could win it! You looked so amazing in the pics from last comp! Trained my glutes + legs yesterday too.. Am so freaking' sore right now.. and it will only get worse during today.. That's what we all love about fitness, isn't it!? Have a great weekend!!

 

[CLPgold]

Thanks NG. I would love to feel sore! I get 'tight' and fatigued, but never that same 'don't touch me or I'll have to gouge your eyes out with my fingernails' feeling anymore. On extremely rare occasions I get that sore. I need to cross train more. Hehe especially since I kinda have a new infatuation and he's a kickboxer. He's got his own studio. I've met him a few times before and taken a couple of his classes. Hmmm, ulterior motives that will still get me in shape, let me eyeball super hotties, and have fun!!!

 

[Jenny]

I stopped getting sore some time ago too.. Then I changed my routine completely.. I used to do heavy, low rep, but different exercises every time.. Now I do high rep, low weight or supersets.. Yesterday I did 3 sets of 50 on the leg press with 100 pounds.. Lunges 50 reps per leg for 3 sets and stuff like that.. that did it for me..

 

[CLPgold]

I have a guy mentality when it comes to things. Especially weight training. I get psychologically scarred when I have to drop my weights. I love to push it heavy w/low reps. I've just started investigating Weight Lifting (Clean and Jerk, and Snatch) and Powerlifting (Bench Press, Squats and Deadlifts). I've been educating myself on the technique and benefits. It's something I think I will start incorporating into my workouts over time to increase strength and hopefully size. I am going to start some serious cycling and jogging outdoors too. A client of mine is a cyclist ( with the most cut, killer legs) and manufactures his own line of bikes, and he is going to custom make me my own to fit my size perfectly. He is awesome! I need to expand Plus I'll meet more people hehe. I love meeting people, especially hot guyz.

 

[CLPgold]

Hehe, I heard that most cyclists are gay...just hearsay I guess. But then if you think about it, they spend an awful lot of time on that seat and that can cause damage to that area, plus the tight pants, LOL!

CLP hi!

 

[CLPgold]

LMAO. Thankfully 'my' cyclist is 'straight' all the way. He is 35, divorced and rich!!! He is also very handsome, 6'4" super tall, and super shredded with unbelievably developed legs @ 192lb. He is awesome. I sure wish he would hurry up and ask me out on a date! I like the guy. He rocks!

CLP hi!

Eh LINA!!!!
Just one second there,GIRRRRRL!!!
Just to clarify this FALSE RUMOUR you are starting...
I'm a cyclist and I'm far from being GAY...
As for the seat,yes if you don't get the right seat,
you will damage the guy!!!
BUTT,I spent good money on my seat...
As for the tight cycling shorts,they do have a purpose!!!
A- Keeps da boyz constraint(if you know what I mean)specially when ridding a rough trail:bounce:
B-Keeps the thigh's muscles warm and tight!!!
C-Then,it keeps da Betties looking

CPLGold...
What kind of bike will you get?
Road,Hybrid or MTB???
What is the name of the bike manufacture of your friend/client ???
I know that if you choose MTB,there is a great trail around the lake...
I've heard many good things about that trail!!!

 

[mick01]

Musclemaina?!?!?!?! WOW!!!!!! Big Show!

What did you have to win to qualify?

I wish you the best!

Mick

 

[CLPgold]

It would be a road bike I guess. Not an MTB. 'Attila' and yes he's Hungarian so he is Attila the Hun LOL, goes under the name Pegasus. He just started about a year ago I think. On top of his normal day job. He sold about 8-9 last year anywhere from $2,000-$4,000 a bike. He's got a TIG welder and all that fun stuff set up in his garage.

Mick, you don't have to qualify in another show to be able to do the Musclemania. Just go in with excellent muscle tone and super shredded - naturally of course!

 

[CLPgold]

OK for yesterday here is my nutrition breakdown.

Total Cals: 2990
Fats: 78gm 25%

So, if I hadn't kept track of my booze intake I'd be at:

2033 Total Cals. Hmmm big difference.

Actually, I don't remember going to bed last night LMAO. I did get up at 7:50am to let the dogs out. Then I cleaned the kitchen and living room and LAST BUT NEVER LEAST< > I CRACKED MY 1ST BEER OF THE DAY AT 8:30am. Great way to start the day. Am I happy, oh yeah!!!

Haven't eaten anything yet. Who needs food right now? I've got beer to sustain me through the day. I will have to do a liqour run in a bit. Hopefully I don't end up having to go 'dry' for too long before The Beer Store open. I'm working on a 950ml can right now though so hopefully I can pace myself. I already finished half of one that was left from last night.

question though. what's this for: apple cider vinegar Just curious sounds kinda nasty tasting.

and the pork chops sounds so good.

 

[CLPgold]

Ah dv it was a great workout. Back day tomorrow. Can't wait.

Apple Cider Vinegar is hard to swallow LOL, but I'm used to it. It is good for digestion, it slows insulin response and it cleans toxins and heavy metals out of the body. It has many useful benefits actually, unfortunatley I can't remember them all.

 

[CLPgold]

Total cals for the day: About 1,708cals. Add another 25cals for herbs and spices used. I'm really investigating every little calorie these days and trying to be honest in my assessment.

Fats: 65gm 32%
Protein: 160gm 35%
Carbs: 177gm 32%

Ended up eating more last night.

Total Cals: 1920

Fats: 61gm 27%
Protein: 164gm 33%
Carbs: 237gm 40%

I really don't know how accurate all of this is, but it's an estimate and helps to keep me on track a little better.

K kids I'm off to bed early again tonight. Hoping to get 8-9hrs tonight . My flu or whatever bug I've got is almost gone. I'm pretty tired still.

My parents are coming to visit me this weekend. That means my whole weekend of meals will be eaten out. Both of my parents are very health conscious and have to eat at decent restaurants. So I think I'll hit them up for The Keg and that wonderful Chinese buffe restaurant I'm totally in love with!!! I will definitely be kinda bad, have a few beers, have a Billy Miner Pie of course at the Keg, and go wild at the Mandarin. But at least I'll get in good stuff too like steak, baked potatoes, steamed veggies, rice, seafood .... Oh I can't wait!

Help CLP, glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better. Flu's suck!

Have a good time with your parents, and eating out of course. Hmm, Chinese food! I have to drive 50 minutes to get to the closest Chinese place, but its worth it.

Eggs

 

[CLPgold]

Thankx eggs! I didnt' suffer too much with this flu. It's minor. I'm still tired though so gonna take hopefully 1 1/2hr nap before work again. I keep trying to get these cat naps in, but I never fall asleep. Oh well, it's nice to relax, but now I've got housework piling up.

What!? No Chinese restaurants around Italy!? Or are you in the country/rural area? The bestest place in the whole world to go for Asian food is Vancouver! They have the best Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Cambodian and Thai restaurants around. YUMMI!
