Kim's freaky mini bulk and cut log's

[kim]

And it will be nice if I can be able to send a picture from my webshots into my gallery which doesn't work anymore and what ever I'm doing to get there it is just not working.

1) From my webshot I copy the url and paste it where it supposed to be going and there is no way IT IS NOT WORKING At least it will be great having my dummy face into my Ava

 

[simbh]

Try just uploading your picture to IM itself , if you already have it on your computer. If you only have it on the web , save the picture on your computer then upload it to IM . Thats what I did and it works fine.

Good luck // Bonne chance with youre goals

I said bonne chance , since I saw someone who said it . If youre french great , if not , ah well

 

[kim]

Merci beaucoup Simbh

And yes I'm a real french speaker, that's why I'm probably all stuck with all those written things in english When you said to send my url to IM, I guess you mean sending an e-mail to the moderator with my url. See how hard it could be sometime's catching everything people said to me. but my english is getting better.

My picture is too large, I go to my paint shop into skew and strech and I don't know what the hell % I should enter, I try everything and GodDammit I'm stuck, stuck, stuck. I save everything with new %, download in my webshot, put when I paste everything, I'm always too large, Hopefully not my body but everything is too large, I just can not get the right sizing. Sorry for venting or rambling but I'm becoming weird with it, really weird

So if I understand I e-mail IM which is I guess Iron Magazine moderator and they will fix it for me.

Is that what you mean.

 

[kim]

I'm sure I'm not catching you well, you said IM if you have it on your computer, well my picture are on my computer and my webshots Okay if I'm making my self crying, I hope I will make at least some people having good laugh at my self

 

[dalila]

Hi Kim,

Hope you've managed to figure out the photos thingy... I am thinking they are probably just too big..?

As for the assisted pull ups, yes the more weight you add the easier it is, cuz you are actually lifting your weight minus the weight you select on the assisted machine. You are strong, if you can do 2 unassisted pull ups, then on this machine try only like 30-40 pounds assistance for reps, and see how it goes from there.

RECAP OF THE WEEKEND




MEETING WITH MY NEW PT

Today's I have met and talk with my new Personal Trainer's, Mr. Jimmy who is preparing his self for Montreal Bodybuilding Competion in next May 2005. So he will gave me my new program's workout this Thursday's. He took a look at my pics and will be working in regard's with my weakness body part. So he want's to work harder with my shoulders, he said he want them bigger, he said that he will make me train hard with my abs I HATE IT, I HATE IT, and he promissed that in 2 months, I will see a teardrop in my quads He doesn't really want me to get bigger everywhere but he would like to add some mass into my quads. So if I understand rougthly his plan attack for my legs, eventually, he will add a 10 minutes bicyle after my legs workout He want a clean definition muscle and work to separated my muscles , not really bigger but quality muscles he said.

He will prepare my self for the next March 2005 competition fitness, that's what he said and he said that I might be okay for it and if ever I'm not too bad, bodybulding Competition in May 2005 if he think's I'm okay, if I'm not ready, he thinks that next year might be okay. But I think I'm not ready for bodybuilding competition, no big muscle enough anyway.

Hi Kim. He seems knowledgeable and the shoulder emphasis is good from my perspective. I also think your lats need to be bought out a bit wider also, but that's just my opinion.

I'm confused when you say "fitness competition" Is that fitness or figure? If its fitness, have you done gymnastics in the past? Fitness has a heavy emphasis on gymnastics and if you have not done this, four months is a very short period of time to prepare. I definitely think you could be ready for a bodybuilding contest by May especially if you working with a good trainer. No, you are not ready for a high level national competition, but you could definitely win or be very competitive in a local open or Master's contest.

Hi Kim,

You are strong, if you can do 2 unassisted pull ups, then on this machine try only like 30-40 pounds assistance for reps, and see how it goes from there.

Thank's Dalila for the explanation regarding assist pull ups, it was really my first time doing it with those kind of machine, and I wasn't able to figure out how it does really work. So I will try like you said 30-40 pounds.

I love my new gym so much, there are so many tools, many great machine that were lacking from the other gym's.

Bonjour Simbh, your french are really, really great and I feel great that if I'm stuck sometimes with my english, I can be able to count on you, but I don't want to bug you as well.

It is all about resizing my pictures, it's complicated for me, I go in paint shop where is skew/ strech and attributes as well (it's all in english) So I have been fitghing to get some % reduction or some number into attributes with no success So I'm gonna e-mail your my url, but if you have some quick tips to give me as well, I would like eventually to add some other pictures but I don't want to bugg you too.

Many thank's

Good Morning Ego

I also think that my lats need to be a little wider, but he said no, but he said that the big works has to be done with my shoulder's, my rear deltoid are lacking so much I guess

And he seem to have we work hard with my abs, aren't abs are make into the kitchen and nice with only with a low %BF. I know I did lack by the past with them, it's my fault, but I'm really curious to see what will be his program for me. For a quick understanding, I'm feeling that he'll make we works my abs every 2 days.

Fitness Competition, dancing, gymnastic and everything No, No, No, if I ever competed a day, I want to be judge only with my achievement from my body, muscle and definition. I'm not Nadia Commennecy Only rolling on the foor I'm all dizzy like an old Mama.

I'm very anxious to see his program for me, That guy's is having some gear and he is training 3 hours in a row into the gym, no cardio, that's what he told me, Not about the gear but about his training, and he mention quickly to my self that some little gear, can not do harm if it is well taken He is freaking me at the same times, and aks if I was able to train around 2 hours, so I clear him that 1hr to 1hr15 minutes is the max I would allow my self to the gym.

So I'm anxious to received his program, well happy to be working with someone who have better experience of me, but at the same time's it is freaking me a little, just the way I see how he is working. I guess it will be a great experience.

I do agree with you, If I do ever competed in a near future,it will be in novice bodybuilding, something local and master's class for where I am right now with my achievement. So I'm gonna clear with him what is his competition in March, If it is something like Gymnastic, Nadia Comenenci, being judge because of my hair color and the color of my bikini and all those things. GOOD BYE, FITNESS COMPETITION. That's not what I'm looking for.

Wednesday

Okie Dokie, What' about me today, so no training it's a day brake, I'm already sore from my legs workout from yesterday So I'm happy about it.

Finally, I spend alot of time trying to send some pics into my gallery with the help of Simhb, Once again many thanks. And I am able now, well I think to resize some pictures alone. I use my Nikon programm from my digital camera, so there is a place I can resize pictures, I did it

My eating plan so far I was so busy trying to understand all those resizing that I forget to eat but here what's happen.

MEAL 1

6 white, 32g oatmeal, 2 teaspoon flaxseed grinded

MEAL 2

1 cup cottage cheese
100gr frozen strawberries

MEAL 3:

1 whole wheat bread
106 grm salmon

MEAL 4

2 glass of red wine
4 onces sirloin steak
1/2 cup mix brocoli and califlower
1 medium tomato

MEAL 5:

dunno

I'm out of everything cottage cheese, white eggs and I'm sure I wont feel like eating salmon tonight, but I do have some tofu but I don't want to mix some carbs with it at night Oh gosh what will I do tonight for my last meal.

Hum... not a good plan eating for today, I'm out from almost everything, will try to do better tomorow.

 

[Egoatdoor]

I also think that my lats need to be a little wider, but he said no, but he said that the big works has to be done with my shoulder's, my rear deltoid are lacking so much I guess

Do not be afraid to speak your mind to him on this matter if you feel really strongly about. If both of us are thinking the same thing in regards to the lats, that must mean there is some substance to the argument. I saw the relative lack of wdith right away in your rear view pictures you posted before, so it seems to be an obvious potential weakness and believe me I know from my own experience that when you diet down and all the surface bodyfat is trimmed away, any weaknesses you have in muscle symmetry will become even more glaring.

Remember that you are the one PAYING HIM, you are the client and it is his job to satisfy you. There is no reason that he cannot put some emphasis on the lats as well at the shoulders. A good trainer also has to be a good listener and if is not going to listen to what you have to say, then he may not be the right trainer for you, regardless of his credentials as a bodybuilder.

And he seem to have we work hard with my abs, aren't abs are make into the kitchen and nice with only with a low %BF. I know I did lack by the past with them, it's my fault, but I'm really curious to see what will be his program for me. For a quick understanding, I'm feeling that he'll make we works my abs every 2 days.

You are right. Six pack abs are almost solely a function of a low bodyfat percentage and to some extent your diet. Until you start to reduce your bodyfat ( which will occur when you go into pre contest training mode), you can do all the ab work in the world and the abs will probably not really show.

I'm very anxious to see his program for me, That guy's is having some gear and he is training 3 hours in a row into the gym, no cardio, that's what he told me, Not about the gear but about his training, and he mention quickly to my self that some little gear, can not do harm if it is well taken He is freaking me at the same times, and aks if I was able to train around 2 hours, so I clear him that 1hr to 1hr15 minutes is the max I would allow my self to the gym.

So I'm anxious to received his program, well happy to be working with someone who have better experience of me, but at the same time's it is freaking me a little, just the way I see how he is working. I guess it will be a great experience.

I'm confused again. Is he talking about you taking "gear"??? If so, that is your decision to make, but if you intend to train naturally and he is talking about gear, I would again seriously question if he is the right trainer for you. I am frankly shocked that anyone would bring up the subject of gear to someone is still relatively new to bodybuilding. The stuff has serious non reversible health implications, no matter how "little" the dosage, for any woman and should only be considered by both men and women when they have reached a very advanced stage of training and development and have exhausted their body's natural abilities to gain muscle mass.

You are right Ego, I know that my lat need to get bigger and my rear deltoid are not good and it's my fault because I did not work them enough. This will be my main focus, with my legs


Remember that you are the one PAYING HIM, you are the client and it is his job to satisfy you. There is no reason that he cannot put some emphasis on the lats as well at the shoulders. A good trainer also has to be a good listener and if is not going to listen to what you have to say, then he may not be the right trainer for you, regardless of his credentials as a bodybuilder.

I have a hard head when I want, if I don't agree with some of his point, I will do my hard head in regard's with my lats.

You are right. Six pack abs are almost solely a function of a low bodyfat percentage and to some extent your diet. Until you start to reduce your bodyfat ( which will occur when you go into pre contest training mode), you can do all the ab work in the world and the abs will probably not really show.

I won't work my abs more then 2 to 3 times a week, I'm sure abs don't need more then that.


I'm confused again. Is he talking about you taking "gear"??? If so, that is your decision to make, but if you intend to train naturally and he is talking about gear, I would again seriously question if he is the right trainer for you.

Yes Ego, he talk to me about gear with my first meeting with him, and there is no way I'm gonna use some gear, I know about the irrevesible effects for a women. Glutamin and creatine is all what I'm taking and will be taking. Hey I'm 43 year's old soon and eventhough I will be 25, I won't take any gear. And I thin that I can achieve a great physical with any gear, just a real good eating plan, working hard and with my glutamin and creatine.

That's for sure that when I will received my workout from him, I will bring it into my log's training. You'll be able to take a look at it.

Many thank's for supporting me through my log's and achievements, I appreciate all you feedback so much.

Hi Kim

I'm off to the states until Sunday, but I'll be checking in with you when I get back Thanks again for visiting my journal and sharing your advice regarding the flaxseeds.

 

[simbh]

Hey kim !

Your plan looked pretty good yesterday even though you didn't have all the food you migh of wanted

Anyways , have a great day , and try to do some groceries

 

[jstar]

Hey Kim!

Everything is looking super duper! I am glad to see you are considering competition and hired a trainer but I feel a bit worried for you. The others are right - be careful who you choose as a trainer. If he is suggesting steroids on day one I would just make it absolutely clear to him that is not going to happen. Naturals and "users" don't train alike either. Because he is on gear he is training 3 hours at a time and for the rest of us that would be overtraining...good luck though. I know you will kick butt if you do decide to compete.

 

[Egoatdoor]

Hey Kim!

Naturals and "users" don't train alike either. Because he is on gear he is training 3 hours at a time and for the rest of us that would be overtraining...

Jstar has an excellent point here. A user can train 5 or 6 days a week, train intensely all the time and do things such as 3 days on, 1 day off because steroids boost the body's recovery abilities. A natural trainer would almost always become quickly overtrained doing these programs.

 

[kim]

Ego and Jstar: Thank's so much for your advice, I make it clear with Jimmy, my new trainer's and today I just received my workout and the guy is really okay, I'll explain later on on my other poste what's everything is looking for me. Jstar, I don't think, I'm ready for compete, I think my shoulder's are too weak, my rear deltoid are not good at all. I talk with Jimmy and he said, I'll train you for March like you were going to do it, but he is not sure I can be ready. He really feel that my shoulder's are really weak, but he is impress with my biceps and my back. I love when people are honest with me.

Simbh: I make the grocery, now I'm full of cottage cheese, eggs, brocoli and everything I'm so happy for you for your new job in the Gym, Yahoo for you

Klmclean: Hope you have a nice weekend girl, don't know where you are going, but have fun big times. And hope everything is going well for you with the cramp things. - Take Care

WEDNESAY UPDATE

It was a good running days, so running that planning my eating plan was not pretty good. So I have been craving tonight on some foods that are not really really, OH well, at least, I have done my groceries, so everything is there. Also big running to meet customer's on the road, so it was a crazy running days.

MEETING MY PT WITH MY NEW WEIGHT PROGRAMS TRAINING.

So today I met with my new Trainer's Jimmy. He did workout my program for my shoulders, back, quads only, biceps and abs. So next monday, the rest of my program will be finalized for my harmstring, triceps and calves.

The first goal has he explain to me, is to equilibrate my symetrie.
So my real weak point as per his experience are my shouder's, abs and legs like he mentionned.

1) My rear deltoids are really bad and he want to build like he said a big plate over there. So my shoulder's will be train 2 times in a week. We are going to work them hard.

2) My quads and harmstring will be work on 2 separate day's.

3) My abs for what I received today will be work for now 2 times a day. I don't know if he will add another training day's in the week for them. Will see next monday.

4) My back, I'm happy with what he gaves me, so I'm still working on getting my lats bigger.

As for now my days will look as:

1 day: Chest / Quads / Abs (upper abs workout)
2 day: Back / biceps / abs (lower abs workout)

The rest of the wokout is to come.

We went together on all exercices form, and I don't regret at all putting all my faith with that guys. He really show me while doing my back, how first to stabilize my shoulder's to block them and then pulling with my lats. I was needing someone like him to teach me so much with my form regarding my lats. I realized that the way I have been working my lats, with the lat pulldown, how bad I was doing them, My chin-up will have 4 different positions (grip), to target all angle, so meaning 4 sets of chin-ups, Rowing machine for my back, as well 3 position with different grips and reps, and another set with again the 3 positions, but working them differently so meaning 6 sets. So I love my back workout with the other exercices that I did not mention.

My shoulders: Great workout too.

Abs: He show me how he is doing his abs, for now the abs workout seem great, no killing or crazy workout with them. As I said upper and lower abs will be separate. The only things, that oh well, I don't really like, well it's the chair leg raise cause I think they work much more the hips flexor then anything. Anyhow he told me that those abs workout will give better definition eventually. So no weight add to my abs for now.

QUADS: I was expecting more different exercices, but will follow is advise, so for now 2 exercices for the quads, ONLY - Will see (Squat and leg extension but a little blast with the leg extension. But Squat 6 x 20-15-12-10-8-20 and legs extension 15-12-(8-4 mass non stop) (8-4 mass non stop)- 12. Will be great to experience that. He want to get my quads with better definition.

So I'm pretty happy because, the shoulder's workout is great, the back workout is great, the quads and harmstring are split in 2 days. It was what I was doing very oftlently for my quads and hamstring. So his thinking is about the same as me.

Really the only thing for now that I doubt is the famous Chair leg raise because I do think that it will target much more my hip flexor then anything.

SO MEAN GOAL: EQUILIBRATRE MY SYMETRIE AND TRYING TO SEPARATE MY MUSCLES. He don't really want me to get any bigger for now, he just want to equilibrate everything while being able to see all muscles really separate.

PRETTY - PRETTY HAPPY with his workout and all the time's he took to watch out all form and explain everything with me. I wasn't shy at all to ask some question of why that exercises or why this one and what is the goal of each exercices and where was the real target.

So next Monday, I will start my day 1 with his program.

No need to said that tomorrow is Friday and all sales rep have to be to the main office for sales meeting, so as always, all Friday's......S.....K.

REally fun to see that new workout Kim ... I post a little info on what creatine has done for me since I started it

I hope that training helps you reach your goal , and remember , you have to stay focused on what you eat !

If you want a good ab exercise if ever you feel that for some reason it doesnt work as well as you want it to be , I have a crazy one that works the middle / lower and mostly the side abs. I got this one from men's health , its on the swiss ball , its kinda weird to get used to first (took2 me about 5-6 times of doing some small sets to get the hang of it) . If you dont get mad at the damn swiss ball too quick , its great.

Oh Simbh, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT I will like to have your workout with the swiss ball because, sometimes I will do my abs at home and I don't have a chair leg raises and I think that some times I may be out of time in gym to workout my abs, so at least If I can have a good workout to do at home with my Swiss ball, it will be so great.

You are a sweetie

 

[dalila]

Hi Kim, I am looking at your meals right now, and it seem unbelievable that you get 1,800cals a day with "32gm of oats here and 100gm of salmon there"... how do you check your cals, do you use fitday.com?

Your bis are so strong girl!! I am impressed!!

 

[simbh]

Oki kim , Ill try to scan the article itself , that way it will be way easier for you to understand ... I should be able to do that this weekend.

Hi Dalila, I track everythig manually as per the label of the food I am buying. Except for my chicken breast, sirloin steak, eggs and white eggs, so for those one I'm using the Chart of Tom's Venuto and the rest is all track manually. I do not trust fitday or calorie king, I really prefer tracking everything manual to a T, to make sure that I'm eatin the right amount of prot/carbs/fat.
