*****OBF "2014 Winter Transformation Challenge" Official Contest Thread*****

[MoEcho]

Posted this in my thread - for anyone interested. 6th place right here. LOL

And here is a "weight" update:

01\24\14(OBF Start) 129.4
01\31\14 127.80
02\07\14 na
02\14\14 na
02\21\14 131.60
02\28\14 na
03\07\14 na
03\14\14 na
03\21\14 na
03\28\14 125.60
04\04\14 na
04\11\14 128.00
04\18\14 na
04\25\14 128.00

So 13 weeks and a total of 1.4 lbs gone. I am okay with that, since I really did not want to "diet" anyway. I seem to be maintaining 128lbs at 2000 cals. So now I am faced with - do I want to start a cut around the end of May for my vacay in Aug, do I want to just maintain until Aug, then start a nice long slow bulk.....I guess I will make a final decision once final OBF pics are taken.

LOL!! Looks kinda like my scale! I'm getting leaner though so I must be doing sumfin right!

[gobbles23]

Same here, I went from 121 to 121. lol! In almost 8 weeks but I definitely look leaner

[PhiSig2298]

Been dealing with strep throat for the last 3 days. Nothing but jello & antibiotics. Hope to eat something solid tomorrow

Abs on leg day is the best. I really can use the mind muscle connection after hitting legs..Maybe because its taxing from the squats or I'm just crazy. Had fun messing around doing what i call. "windmills"

Family has just got in town and we have been running around like crazy! Diet is not the tightest because of the hectic schedule, but trying my best to keep up with meals and training.

[rocketman766]

[qstick99]

Hope everyone's week is off to a good start, just got back in to town after a week of training for work in So Cal myself, glad to be back!

[rocketman766]

Today was of course leg day.... and being that I am working the night shift now, I felt like crap when I woke up. Almost took another rest day, but said screw it, dialed up some Hell Yeah tunes for the drive to the gym, got the adrenalin flowing and brutalized my legs! Damn I feel good!

[anti-bonk]

My buddy and his wife are health conscious about their nutrition. This is good. However, since they were talking about the Easter candy they bought their kids, and I am the godfather to their kids, I decided to buy some Easter candy for them also as a belated Easter present. Got to their house and they started talking about how they didn't get too much candy and they are glad it is gone. So guess who now has a drawer at home filled with Snickers and Reese's peanut butter cups.

[rocketman766]

Just minutes ago I dropped off two bags of easter candy that we didn't want in our house anymore in the truck drivers building here at work.....

[EjnarKolinkar]

Military press and Volume squats this AM went good, great energy this AM. Made the macro targets for today, getting harder though. Just got to look at the bright side, it is temporary, only a few weeks to go.

Knocked food scale off counter yesterday. Powered it up and no prob. This am put some oats on it and stuck on 0. Crap! Have another on the way now.

Off for an evening walk now.

[chavostrong]

Man gym is just a few minutes away and im stuck here at work... Man could sport my muscletech shirt "id rather be lifting" T-shirt right about now. Gonna hit legs, abs, arm... Shoulders, chest gonna go all out! ('¤') game face

[qstick99]

What's going on everyone. Just got home from the gym, feeling awful, having a relapse from the stuff I had about a week in half ago or so. Was really motivated to hit the gym though after being out of town and the gym all of last week while in So Cal for a work training. Everything felt heavy, was getting light headed after every set and on top of everything the gym was about as packed as I've seen it. Ended up hitting some cardio prior to weights just because every bench and machine was literally taken. Was limited on what I got in so I worked more sets than usual, switching grips, tempos up etc.

Incline BB Bench Press:

10x95
10x95

6x155 w/ 5 count negatives and pause at bottom
4x185 w/ 5 count negatives and pause at bottom
3x185 w/ Wide Grip 5 count negatives and pause at bottom
3x185 w/ 5 count negatives and pause at bottom
4x185 w/ Wide Grip 5 count negatives and pause at bottom
10x135 quick pace reps but controlled
10x135 Wide Grip quick pace but controlled

Flat DB Press:

15x50's
12x60's
10x70's

And that was a wrap, literally felt like legs were going give out and had a few dizzy spells going.

Macros: ( Have not calculated everything but here is meals consumed)

2 Soft Scrambled Eggs
Greek Yogurt
Odwalla Almond Bar
Peanut butter Sandwich
2 Hard Boiled Eggs w/ 2 small cheese sticks

The weeks are flying, they're hard to keep up with!!

Glad you're back at it

[chavostrong]

Abs on leg day is the best. I really can use the mind muscle connection after hitting legs..Maybe because its taxing from the squats or I'm just crazy. Had fun messing around doing what i call. "windmills"

Go squat with a twist, leg lift toe touches with 5lbs on each foot, and knee to elbow crunches(mind just drew a blank on that one lol) with 5lbs on each foot but extend leg out then in. One hell of a burn.... Hate burbies vary tiring

[PhiSig2298]

Am I DQ'ed?

Sorry I was on vacation for the last 10 days and this is my first day back at work, the only time I check these forums.

Tim

Nah you're still in. Just don't miss another week or you're out

[Vytis]

Low calories and HIIT cardio makes Vytis a....very....tired.....boy.....zzzzzzzzzzzz

[GettingfitAgain]

Only 3 more weeks go to? wow! Been spending alot of time teaching my kid baseball. Hes only 6 but the league is crazy competitive already. The last game they had someone out there with board keeping statistics.

[TimVYSS]

Nah you're still in. Just don't miss another week or you're out

Awesome news.

Hard at it here, although it looks like its squats and running for me for at least the remainder of this competition. No upper body workouts for at least the next three weeks I've got a bad case of tennis elbow in my left elbow and my busted right shoulder has flared up so physio has advised I rest both for at least a few weeks.
