A little history about me!

I was a fatso...lol..really though, all throughout middle school and most of high school, I was very inactive and ate boatloads of crap. My highest weight was in college and I was 200#. After graduating, I started to change my eating habits and to exercise a little. I went a bit too far and ended up with anorexia combined with overexercising. I luckily found this forum and started working with the great Emma-Leigh. I am proud to say that I have gone from 107# in July of 2006 to my current weight of 121.4#, as of this morning. I love lifting and I'll never go back to where I was!!!!

Stats

Age: 26
Height: 5' 7
Weight: 121.4
Bodyfat: approx. 14-15%
Shoulders: 37.25
Biceps: 9.25
Waist: 25.5
Hips: 35.5
Thigh: 19.5

Current supplements

Whey protein
Sustain
Fish oils
Multivitamin
Xtend
Ragnarok

Exercise schedule

My routine is developed by Emma-Leigh, so I will only post my exercises in random order, along with the maximum weights used. I will not post my set/rep scheme. I lift 4-5 days a week, and right now, I am working on developing a good Vtaper.

Goals

*I am competing in my first figure contest in Oct of this year!!
*I want to gain 10 more pounds before summer
*I want a Vtaper!!!!
*More muscle!!!!
*I want to improve my bench and reach 100#

Diet

My nutrition is also designed by Emma, so I will only list macros at the end of each day. I am obviously bulking right now, so calories are fairly high :D

Ok..hope I"m not leaving out anything important!! I hope that many of you follow along with me!! I love funny comments/pics,etc, so let's make this log a fun place to visit!!!!!

All right....LET'S ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!! (oh wait...don't have the supplement yet...it's on it's way!!!) Can't wait to start!!

And if you're still reading after all of my blabbering, you deserve a reward! :D

[twinnett]

I'll post pics when I have my computer back. It's being repaired right now, so I'm hijacking my roommate's for awhile! I do have pics in my bodyspace though!

[twinnett]

I hope you do not mind..I used your layout as a model to get mine started..

I'm honored actually!!!!! :D


WAVES TARA!!!
GREAT LOOKING WO!!
How are you doing today??

I'm doing well Barb! Anxious to train tomorrow and start the Refuel! It's smells so good...glacier grape goodness! :D

Went to the doc today. I've been having panic attacks. he wants me to take Paxil. Not sure...we'll see

I'm going to switch back to Xpand preworkout I think. For the refuel, I'm going to split a dose between during and post workout, so we'll see how that goes. Not too sore from yesterday. I LOVE being sore! I'm a glutton for pain!!!

[twinnett]

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c286/lisa96lbc/d17ac3da.gif

Needed a pic in here!

[twinnett]

Nutrition has been on target today. It was a rest day, but I'll be training legs and abs bright and early (5:30AM) I'll be starting the Refuel, so I'm anxious to get in and get going. We're supposed to get snow tonight, but that won't keep me away!! My husband stole my space in the garage though, so that means scraping at 4:30 AM...boo!!

Yay for starting the new sup Tara! :D

Don't work too hard to scrape the car - got to save some energy for that workout! :p

[sherdi]

Great job with all the increases you have been making!!! See what less cardio and more food does??? Awesome work! :)

[vanessa40]

Good Morning Tara,
Hope you don't have to dig out from under to much snow..can't wait to hear about the new supp :)

[twinnett]

Not too much snow!!!

Did legs this morning..my favorite!!!!

Preworkout supplement: Xpand: Didn't feel the same pump and my muscles didn't feel as big as compared to the Ragnarok, but I'm seeing if it might help w/ the anxiety attacks..none today! :D

Refuel: I split a dose between during my workout and after my workout w/ my shake

Comments:

Taste: I did NOT like the taste of the grape flavor!!! It honestly made me sick and I could only finish half of it during my workout.
I would like to see a strawberry or fruit punch type flavor..

Mixability: Mixed great! Not gritty at all!!!

Side effects: No bad side effects[/size]

Effects: No noticable energy or strength or endurance..but then again, I only had half!!! I will see how my DOMS is tomorrow. I will also mix it with crystal light tomorrow to see if that helps with the taste

Lovely Leg Workout!!!!

Random order/highest weights

Leg extensions: 75 (increased reps)....Jan 1st: 60

Leg press: 390!! (increased weight)..PB!!!
1/1: 290#

Vups: 13# (increased weight)..1/1: 7#

Box squats: 100# (increased weight for rep range)...1/1:80#

Kneeling cable crunch: #13 plate (increased weight)..1/1: #10 plate

Leg curls: 90#...1/1...same but bad form!

SLDL: 120# (increased weight)PB!!..1/1:105#

Legs felt pretty shaky and are feeling sore...hopefully, I'll get some DOMS!!!!

[StlBarbie]

Just absolutely AWESOME WO .. TARA!!!:)
WOW .. you have become a FULL FLEDGED BRICK CHICK .. thru and thru!! :p

So very glad you are feeling well today!! :)

[Luvdogs]

Nice workout Tara! Wooo Hooo for PB's :D

Grape is a hard flavor for some reason. Xtend's isn't any better I'm sure. I did get used to it though and was thinking of re-ordering it, but think I'll go with Lemonade again. I'll see how you like the Refuel too. I've got time before I need to order.

[twinnett]

I'm not a huge lemonade fan...I used the Xtend watermelon, which I liked. I like fruity flavors like strawberry or fruit punch or something..

Here's some pics from this morning...

[twinnett]

I'm pretty sore this morning. I haven't been getting sore at all, so I'm wondering if the lack of Xtend yesterday is part of it. I didn't drink most of the Refuel yesterday though, so we'll see what happens today in the gym. I added Crystal light, so hopefully the taste will be better!

[twinnett]

Kick Ass Workout Today!!!!

Took Xpand again this morning and I actually finished the refuel during the workout today b/c the crystal light helped w/ the taste. Had a great workout and got some nice comments from people at the gym and some mean stares from my old trainer..lol..I always smile and say hi and she grunts at me. I think she's mad b/c of how much progress I've made without her!!! :p Flirted a little with the cute guy..shame on me!!! lol

Random order...highest weights I'll compare to the same workout one month ago..

St. arm PD:#6 plate..increased reps1/2/07: #5 plate

[b]Comments on Refuel

***Energy and endurance today was good!

***Very sore from yesterday, but I didn't finish the refuel..we'll see how DOMS is tomorrow!

[twinnett]

[twinnett]

Hi Barb!!! Thanks for stopping in! Yes, enjoying the rest day...huge headache!! Not too sore today..a little bit in all the right places!

My husband wanted to lift today :eek: , so we went to the gym. He's VERY weak right now and I think he was embarassed b/c he could only bench 75#..he just wants to push too hard too soon, so I'm trying to get him to concentrate more on good form.

Hammies and chest tomorrow! :D

[MuscleMom]

Is the Refuel making you thirsty?

[twinnett]

I'm always thirsty, but I haven't noticed it any more than usual...is it making you thirsty?

I am thirsty, but don't know what to attribute it to. I will have to pay attention..

[twinnett]

Rest day today...stuffed b/c I didn't have breakfast until 9..made the mistake of going to the grocery store without eating..bought WAY too much food! lol...nothing bad though! :D Tomorrow morning is hamstrings and chest, followed by a long day of teaching! I have meals packed and ready to go for the next 3 days, which is nice...even have stuff for my shakes measured out...

Hi Tara,

[pu12en12g]

Nice log !! Good luck refueling ! :cool:

[twinnett]

Thanks for stopping by everyone...supremely pissed at my workout today....

RDLs are pure http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n309/MENSUCK_2006/evil.jpg

Pissed at my workout today...started on a bad note and I was just out of the groove for the rest of the workout...RDLs are my arch nemesis now..I WILL defeat them!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, numbers don't look bad, but I feel like I could have done better today..

Random order..highest weights only to protect the genious that is Emma-Leigh

LEG CURLS: 105# PB!!!!

RDLS: 150#...ok...not the same rep range, but last time I did 165!!!! WTF????? Grip kept slipping..I have one word written in my notebook about these....F*&#K!!!!!!!!!! lol

WEIGHTED HYPERS: 37# PB!!!

WG BENCH: 80# increased reps

MACHINE INC. PRESS: 75# increased reps

HACKSQUATS: 280#!!! PB!!! Took out all of my anger on these!!!

CABLE CROSSOVERS: #3 plate increased reps


So, on paper, it doesn't look bad...just was tired and pissed...and this old guy was hogging the cable machine forever!!!!! I want my Ragnarok back!!!! I think I'll try it again next week..no attacks or anything!

NOTES ON REFUEL

I'm getting used to the taste..not so bad now and mixability is great!!! Today, I got tired during my workout, but I felt like the refuel helped me to finish and gave me a little extra kick...

[twinnett]

Forgot to add: I didn't want to let the RDLs beat me, so I did 15 reps @95# at the end of my workout...I just couldn't leave without doing them again! lol

EZ BAR BI CURLS: EZ bar+ 20#

LEG PRESS CALF RAISE: 90#...owwwwwwwww

NOTES ON REFUEL

I'm really starting to like the taste and I feel that it really helped today when I was dragging a little with my headache and not enough sleep.

Phew

[twinnett]

Don't worry! I'm really liking this product!! I wanted to add that I've noticed a definite decrease in DOMS and I've been working harder than ever! My recovery time is much shorter...ready to lift legs again, but alas, tomorrow is rest day!

[twinnett]

Macros for today...been pretty hungry! Rest day tomorrow, choir rehearsal at night, and visiting my parents. My brother is being recruited by several colleges for football, so coaches are coming over from Holy Cross and Lehigh tomorrow, and they want to meet the family. Weird that they're coming, b/c he just visited Lehigh and he's flying out to Holy Cross this weekend. Maybe there will be a fight! lol

REFUEL

Taste is improving every time. Really felt a good energy and endurance today. Started to get tired, but it really kept me going.

Well, I'm definitely going to get myself some more peanut butter and take it pre-, during, and post-workout to decrease DOMS. Thanks for the tips!!! :D

Another rest day tomorrow. Starting to feel my muscles a bit. I can tell I worked them, but nowhere near the DOMS I was getting!!!

[sherdi]

Nice macros Tara!!! Good job on getting the food in!!! Enjoy the rest days!!! They help your muscles grow and your energy is going to be HUGE on your next WO day so you can hit some more PBs!!! :D

[ab-swing asianbabe]

hey tara! nice new picture! :) Is the product helping with doms at all?

[twinnett]

Helping IMMENSELY w/ DOMS!!!!! I don't have any and my workout was killer! It's good and bad...sometimes, I feel like I'm not working hard enough!!!

I know what you mean, sometimes its great to feel sore so you know you really punished your body. By your lifts I can tell you are def still doing this, so don't worry! :cool:

Have a great off day Tara!!! :)

[twinnett]

Thanks Barb!!! :D

I am so pumped to hit the gym tomorrow after a long 2 day rest!! I bought some straps today, so I'm going to fiddle with those and probably look retarded trying to figure them out. Tomorrow is my favorite workout of the week! I am determined to get sore, even w/ the fabulous REFUEL

I have to pick up my brother and dad at the airport in the middle of the Superbowl!!!! I'm way too nice!!

Straps worked out well! I think I'll like them!! I just didn't want to leave the gym today! Did 3 chinups at the end of my workout! Woohoo!!

The refuel is not only helping w/ muscle soreness and recovery, but I'm feeling more endurance during my sets...longer for the burning to set in. I got very hungry during my workout and got a stitch in my side, which was annoying...

I love this supplement!!! Recovery is fantastic!! Helps me to power through sets and I don't get fatigued as quickly. Noticably less burning, even though I'm pushing hard and working my ass off!! I love it!!! Was finished halfway through my workout!!!

Good luck for tomorrow Tara - have lots of hack-squat-barf-a-licous-fun for me! :p

[StlBarbie]

OH TARA .. HACK SQUAT TORTURE from EMMA??? :eek:

Have fun with THAT!!! :p
I am still suffering from yesterday's 'fun'!!! :cool: :D

[bigbridrol]

bigbridrol - what is the recommended dosing for me? I am 100lbs more than twinnett.

Hey clown, It is recomended to use between 1-3 scoops a day. On non-training days, one scoop will be useful however, if I bought the tub, I would probably save it for workout days only to save money.

On training days it is recomended to drink about 2 scoops during the workout, as many loggers have experienced increased stamina and overall better recovery time.

You can also go to three scoops, however for the money, I beleive that is unnecessary.

Last thing, I received my Ragnarok sample, I can't wait to try it :)



Looking at you funny huh? Better not check out Barb's journal then!!! lol

Haha, yeah if all the avators of half naked men were not enough, now There are huge pics of them! I'll probably get kicked out of the library if I check out her journal! :eek:

[SPACECLOWN]

Thanks for the info. I plan on giving a roll in the future. I could see this be a great product to mix in the Post WO shake with the quick carbs (dex) in there.

RDLS ARE STILL EVIL!!!

I lost another battle with the RDLs, but I'm determined to win the war. Other than that, great workout!!

[sherdi]

Nice WO :cool:

Remember though...it's not the numbers that count but the way the exercises is performed (form) that gives you results!!!

Nice to see the hack squats did their job! :p

Have a good day Tara!

[twinnett]

Exactly Sherri. That's why I backed off on the RDLs. Shot to my pride, but better for my hamstrings!

[extremenergy3]

lol weird workout... legs AND chest?! You're crazy lol. My buns are quite sore today from RDL's and Squats from yesterday though... But it's a good feeling!

[twinnett]

I'm not crazy...Emma-Leigh is! There is a reason behind the madness...I just do what I'm told!

[twinnett]

Getting ready for my last meal and watching some Lost...I get to sleep in until 5:30 tomorrow!! Woohooo! Working out, then my friend is picking me up to go to the conference. I've got some snacks packed, but I will just do my best wherever we eat.

I'm trying Emis! Annoying when you have a bad workout. Feels like I've lost a day and an opportunity to grow!

Macros sucked today...we ate some Subway at 11, then I was stuck in clinics and stuck on the drive home with no food!!!! 6 hours of no eating makes Tara VERY unhappy!!! Was supposed to have 2800 calories today. Had to guess on the smoothie I had in the morning. It said it was 90 calories (made w/ splenda), but I got an extra protein booster added in...sodium through the roof from the Subway, but oh well!

Came to my parents to find that my cousin had dumped out all the stuff in my gym bag, threw it in a trash bag and proceeded to steal my gym clothes and bag! WTF??? I stormed over and demanded it back. I was kind of a bitch, but I was SO hungry! lol

I have come to the conclusion that any contact with CEL and their products results in family members screwing up our crap.

I'm almost afraid to workout tomorrow. After a bad workout, I start 2nd guessing everything and get scared that I'm losing strength and that my next workout will be bad too. I'm strange..

Also, I have a sore throat and headache. Hoping it doesn't develop into anything more..

[EMISGOD]

One good workout will help fix a lot of the confidence stuff. Just remember to let it flow and come naturally. Don't try to "force" a great workout...

As for the cold thing, I commented on this a bit in the ZEUS Log, but mega-dosing Vitamin B Complex seemed to not only keep the same thing you're speaking of at a reasonable level (where I could still train), but also wiped it out completely in 4 days...

haha nice! Did it help you push out those extra reps, or you still had energy after the workout, etc etc? Do you think you'd purchase this after this log???

Yeah..I think it really helped w/ the extra reps and I had energy at the end of the workout, but my legs were like jello!!!

I will DEFINITELY be buying a refill. I'm liking the grape, but I'll probably try lemonade next. Would love a fruit punch or strawberry flavor..

WOWZA!!! Nice leg frying!!!

[extremenergy3]

Yeah..I think it really helped w/ the extra reps and I had energy at the end of the workout, but my legs were like jello!!!

I will DEFINITELY be buying a refill. I'm liking the grape, but I'll probably try lemonade next. Would love a fruit punch or strawberry flavor..

haha cool. A fruity strawberry... don't see many of those today... :( I would like to have a strawberry one too! :D

[EMISGOD]

I didn't think anyone would know that!! My brother showed me that website...hilarious!

[arose70]

Hi Tara :). Nice log here! I'll be following :). That's a great thing to say about a product that you'd buy it yourself after a log. Good to know ;).

[extremenergy3]

I didn't think anyone would know that!! My brother showed me that website...hilarious!

My cousin introduced me to that site a couple years back when I was in high school. It was soooo funny! I spent hours watching their little cartoons! I even bought a T-shirt of Homestar Runner!!! But I've lost touch with it... I think my favorite was the Teen Girl Squad series hahaha! :D:D:D Good memories!


Hi Tara :). Nice log here! I'll be following :). That's a great thing to say about a product that you'd buy it yourself after a log. Good to know ;).

Very true. I like to know when people repurchase something that they log. That means it's good LOL.

[twinnett]

Yeah..I haven't been to that sight for ages. We used to love Trogdor, the burninator...

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c145/jessieelse/Trogdor.png



Yes, I will definitely be repurchasing this product. DOMS is reduced, but I still feel that the muscle was worked...great energy and stamina too.

[twinnett]

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e20/wolfwood3996/hooray.jpg


NO SCHOOL AGAIN TOMORROW!!

I'm actually starting to miss my students! I'm going to try to get work done tomorrow and I might go to a movie if it clears up. I want to see the new one w/ Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant..I hate having the day off on rest days..boo

No school but are you working out?

Happy Humping and V-day

[twinnett]

Rest day today for me. Feeling a little DOMS in the back and shoulders, which is cool b/c I NEVER get shoulder DOMS. Not a lot of soreness though, thanks to the Refuel, but just a nice reminder of a workout.

Good thing it's a rest day, b/c I'm snowed in!! So pretty to look at though!

[SPACECLOWN]

So pretty to look at though!

Yes you are ;) Have a great day off!

Been hungry today, which is weird, since I've just been sitting on my ass all day...

HOWDY BRICK CHICK .... sounds like you are more than ready to take some of your pent up energy to the gym .... READY for ONE HELLA WO tomorrow??? ;)

[twinnett]

Back to work today..lots of schools were called off for the cold, but not us!

I woke up to a card..lol..and he wants to use our Carabba's gift card to go out this weekend, so that will be nice..:D


Workout today was http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j176/Editor29/fantastic.gif!!!

HAMSTRINGS/CHEST DAY


DB HAMMER BENCH: 27.5# DBS...increased weight

WG BENCH: 90#!!!!! PB....10# to go to my goal of 100#

RDLS: 170#!!! PB!!!...finally figured out the straps!!!

CABLE CROSSOVERS: #3 PLATE

HYPERS: 35#

HACK SQUATS: 300#..increased reps

LEG CURLS: 100#

SOO happy with this workout today! Felt so strong and energized!

Now...back to work!!!

REFUEL NOTES:

Noticed that I'm very thirsty during workouts while drinking the refuel. It's ok though. Just drink water too. Great energy today. Never could get the bar up for 85# on bench before and 90 today felt pretty easy. Squeezed out some extra reps too...No negative affects other than the thirst. Still helping with DOMS and the taste and mixability are great!

[bigbridrol]

Ehh...it's ok...me, my dog, and Lost...what a way to spend Valentine's day..hubby went to a basketball game. I made heart shaped cupcakes, I was so bored..lol

the lost episode was weak last night... Not enough action, to much flashback!

Good workouts so far twinnett, keep it up

[twinnett]

Thanks! I agree...they flash back WAY too much!

[twinnett]

Went to the gym w/ Drew and helped him do legs...they were doing free bodyfat testing. They're not very good at it. Did the 3pt caliper test b/c they couldn't find the chart for the 7 point. They said Drew was 19 and they said I was 9! Ha! No way in hell am I 9%...they had like 3 other trainers do it, who got the same. I was like their little guinea pig. I figure I'm around 15% right now. Who knows? I'll just go by how I look.

My friend is coming in from out of town this weekend, so Saturday we're going to lunch, a movie and then I have to go to this Vegas night thing that my friend is dragging me to. Sunday, Drew and I are going out for lunch I think. Monday, I'm off for President's Day. I think I'll go to a movie w/ my brother, if he's not too busy for me! Kids have their Valentine's Day party tomorrow. They all keep dropping candy off to me. I detest sugary candies...blegh

Will post weight in the morning...pics will be coming next week

[SPACECLOWN]

Morning Tara!

[twinnett]

Hi everyone!!! Thanks for the yummy picture Barb!!

Boy Meets World huh? I used to love that show!!!

Had a solid workout this morning..

ARMS/ABS/CALVES

CRUNCH ON BALL: 25#

CHINUPS: LADDERS..18 total..16 on my own

STANDING CALF: 75# (increased weight at these horrendously high reps)

EZ BAR BI. CURLS: BAR+30(increased weight)

JACKKNIFE: sets to failure..increased reps

BB SKULL CRUSHER: straight bar+17#..increased weight

TRICEP P: #8 PLATE...more sets @ this weight

REFUEL: Still quite thirsty this morning. Felt a lot stronger with the bicep exercises and chin ups this morning. Those are usually weak during this workout. Surprisingly, hamstrings are NOT sore from yesterday's workout. Chest feels nice and sore though, but not overly sore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Emma wants me to hang around 125# until the start of the next program, so the next 2 weeks will hopefully be focused on maintaining this weight.

[SPACECLOWN]

Any hints on the next program?

[twinnett]

No ....she never tells me early, b/c she's afraid I won't rest and will sneak in workouts! lol...I know we're going to focus on my lagging back and hamstrings though

[SPACECLOWN]

I am sure it will be painfully fun!

[Emma-Leigh]

LOL -- It is so true....!! :p I just don't trust you to REST for your rest week... so a secret it will stay until a few days before we start!!

Anyway - I wouldn't want to distract you from the Arnold! ;)

:D

Thank goodness! A 3 day one for me! :D No REFUEL today..went w/ Drew to the gym, but I just walked on the track for a bit..felt tired...going to a movie today and tomorrow, I have a full body workout, then Drew and I are going to either Outback or Carabbas..haven't decided yet..

Watched The Departed last night. Usually not a fan of the violent mob movies, but it was good!

[twinnett]

Movie wasn't too bad..not great, but not horrible either. Visited w/ my parents for a little while. My brother went to a dance tonight..with a group of guys b/c he's too afraid to ask a girl out..Wes now has a pet mouse...interesting..just feel so alone here in the house. Drew and Wes do their thing downstairs..watch stupid tv, play video games..I got a book at the library, so I think I'll go read for awhile.

Macros today: had to eat a huge last meal...just glopped it all in a shake...wasn't very hungry today..just sort of ate just to eat..

I've been running around moving out of my classroom today..exhausted. I woke up at 3:30 this morning and couldn't sleep, so I decided to do an early morning workout. It was a good one! Only one more full body on Sat. until the 8 days of boredom..err..rest that is..

The sumos killed my legs though. The bar was HEAVY and I started to fall backwards and it smashed my shins..OWWWW

I'm trying to learn this dance from Disney's High School Musical..lol..I'm helping the middle school choir director w/ the musical this spring. It's fun, but this dance is HARD!! It's the one where they're playing basketball..I look like an idiot, following these step by step moves..I can't imagine adding a basketball to the whole thing!
