It's official I am joining the challenge!!!. I am pretty new to bodybuilding so this will be my first challenge. Below is some of my personal info, reason for doing the challenge and game plan.
Name: Mhariel
Hometown: Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Weight: 165.6
BF%: 30.9%
Occupation: Accountant + Juggernaut in the making
Current Goal: Lose fat + gain muscle mass
Fitness Goal: Compete (Figure or Bikini? not sure yet )
Reasons for doing the Challenge:
I have been pretty active most of my life but I have also struggled with my weight, mainly due to ignorance on my part about nutrition and exercise. For a long time I attributed a lot of my weight issues to my genetics and used that as an excuse to live an unhealthy lifestyle. In the back of my mind I have always wanted to compete but had never taken the necessary steps to achive this goal, not until last year. Last year, I started to learn more about eating clean, supplements, weight training and I started to embrace the bodybuilding lifestyle. So far I have seen some positive changes not only physically but also mentally. I KNOW I have the determination, dedication and positive attitude to achieve my goal! thats why I joined the challenge. I AM not a JUGGERNAUT YET! I AM JUGGERNAUT in the making!! I am confident that this process is going to help me tap into my core and bring out those qualities that are deep within me!!. The transformation will be internal at first as I tap into that "huge, powerful, overwhelming force" and reveal externally the progress of my hardwork.
My game plan:
I will continue to do what I have been doing thus far because I know it works. My diet is clean and my workout schedule is good, I am 100% clear that the reason why I havent seen better results is due to consistency. My lack of consistency with both diet and exercise as been due to work schedule, illness and my lazyness . So my first step on my game plan is to be consistent, stick to the diet and the workouts no matter what.
Cardio: My cardio sessions will be done in the AM. This will be running outside (as weather permits) or elliptical. I will be doing 30 minutes or 3 miles.
Weight training: I do 1 day ON, 1 day OFF for my weight training. Back/BI, OFF, CHEST/TRI, OFF, LOWER BODY*, OFF, SHOULDER/ABS, OFF...
On the OFF days I do additional cardio or take a rest day depending on how I am feeling or what other commitments I have
*For the first 4 weeks my lower body workouts will not be the same as I am training to a mini marathon and dont like to over train my legs
Diet: My diet consists of 3 meals and 3 snacks. For breakfast I usually have a protein shake + oatmeal. I snack on walnuts and fruit mid morning. Lunch is usually a protein (fish, chicken, turkey pattie) + a vegetable or quinoa. protein bar in mid afternoon. Dinner is protein + vegetable . Protein shake post workout.
Supplements: I take a multivitamin, fish oils, vitamin D*, Intra-workout supplement (Bcaa's), whey protein. Infinite Labs: I have ordered JUGGERNAUT Crimson Punch, and Carnitine MTX. I have never used either of this supplements. I am looking forward to what they will add to my workouts.
* Extra vitamin D is due to vitamin D deficiency I personally have, so this may not be needed for everyone.
Good Luck everyone!! Train hard!

I will be posting on my original thread that I used during the challenge. I encourage you to visit it often as I will be posting on there daily.

Loaded my pics, planned my meals and workouts for the week and I looking forward to my supplements getting here tomorrow!! I hope everyone had a good day ( whether you were training or resting). Not sure if many of you have tried Quinoa. I totally love it and recommend it, not only because its a super grain that contains all essential amino acids but also has 8 grams of protein per cup. Its easy to cook and delicious!

I saw that you went your first Arnold this year. Me too!!! I did run in the 5K, but was otherwise just an expo goer. What a crazy scene that was! I look forward to following your journey to the stage. That's something I couldn't ever do, but id love to look like I could if I wanted to, lol!

What flavor did you get? I have the orange and love it. Don't get the jitters or shakes with the Juggernaut like I have with other pre workout supplements. Im looking forward to hitting the gym tonight as well. It will be the start of week 3 in the challenge for me. I have seen greater results since taking Juggernaut and hope you do too. Tonight its quads/hams/calves for me.
Good luck

I got the crimson punch. I had stayed away from pre workout supplements because of everything I heard about the jitters and other side effects. I had been researching different ones and then learned about the challenge so I was happy with the positive reviews of Juggernaut so here we are!! I am so looking forward to tonites workout its back/bi's for me tonite which I plan to kill!! Upper body and abs is were I want to see lots of improvement!! My lower body seems to respond really good and quickly for some reason. Train hard tonite!! If you can walk up/down stairs afterwards you didn't work them hard enough
