Oh I've made up my mind. I'm doing it and only something severe would make me back out now. It will be on Sept. 18th.

If it was just water then we would all be able to cheat whenever No it's not all water. I'm sure its a small amount but I gained some fat too.

35 sets!

Feel a little tired after all that? Nice BB curls btw.

 

[Jodi]

Actually 30-35 sets is what I typically do with Push/Pull so this was more normal for me. Not tired at all but I can't seem to stop thinking about sugar

 

[PreMier]

No sugar! Glad to hear your competing No sugar!

[Jodi]

Thanks P - this will be my first time in bodybuilding.

Monolith - I could go a few miles down the road and get that very same cheesecake if I wanted to. Cheesecake factory I don't need a picture.

 

[PreMier]

Send me the picture! I want to see it.

Jodi- I think you will do very well. looking at that back pic(recent) you can see very good musculature.

[PreMier]

I feel super drained after squats.. That definately hurts my incline BB. Maybe the same for you?

 

[Rocco32]

My Incline shot back up when I seperated it in the split! That's prob what it is. Your still superwoman! I tried the CG DB's today, but it just didn't work for me. I'm going to have to substitute CG Bench with something else. Maybe dips or Skullcrushers. Nice workout Jodi. You still kill me on squats

That's what I was thinking but it didn't make sense. I had no problem either increasing or staying the same with all the other exercises so I know it wasn't lack of energy.

Thanks Don't worry about your squats, your doing great Rock

I'm too lazy to get my ass out of bed in the am to go to the gym I have to be at work at 7AM and I am not getting up at 4 just to go to the gym

 

[Jodi]

TP and I have worked out a deal for my competition dieting. He's becoming a softy

I'll be starting 16 weeks out which will be June 1st.

High/No/Low/No/High/Low/No will be my weekly carb cycling.

The first 4 weeks I will be cutting however, dairy, whole wheat/grain products, s/f jams and syrups will still remain in my diet.

At the 12 week mark, I will be cutting everything out but the basics. Oh and obviously no cardio for a while

It was a fair trade.

 

[nikegurl]

on the diet plan.

and by the way....your workout looks damn good to me. i was starting to fade by the end last night. (but i made it)

 

[Jodi]

Thanks I'm glad TP and I could come to an agreement

I'm kind of glad to see I wasn't the only one with the incline problem

 

[nikegurl]

i actually thought of you when i was at the gym. once when i wanted to bail (i promise i never will - the thought just danced through my brain) and once when i realized it was a zillion degrees in the gym.

it's been over 100 degrees here for a few days and last night my car thermometer claimed 94 at 8:30 at night. has it been really hot in AZ this week?

 

[X Ring]

my close grip went down the drain doing this workout. I dont know why. I use to be able to do 225 for 6ish reps but can just about do 185 for 6 now. Incline is so so. At least it is a consistant theme with the participants

Good, I'm glad you didn't bail. Think of me everytime you contemplating it. Especially next week I'll do the same because I'm going to need some motivation for next week to.

Yesterday it hit 100. I think it's going to remain in the high 90's this week. I'm loving it

Definately seems to be consistant. So far 3 other people have had the same issues.

 

[Monolith]

You just need to take more GO.

 

[Jodi]

I've been out of GO for a week

I keep forgetting to order some more. I'm doing it today.

You might wanna try just buying kilo sizes of tyrosine, alcar, choline bitartrate, and caffeine. Dosed out the same way as GO, it comes to only ~21 cents a serving... whereas one serving of GO raises that price to $1 a serving for the same ingredients.

It wouldnt taste as good, though.

 

[Jodi]

Thanks, but I like the taste I can't drink just a cupful of powders

lol, i should take a pic of the mountain of powder i ingest every morning. it's like 13g, not counting the leptigen.

 

[Jodi]

I'm sure my stack of daily pills of vits/supps isn't much better
