Decided to slow down with weight loss so my wedding dress fits at the end of this month. Along with eating more (still at a deficit), my deadlift has increased significantly.. went from onky being able to pick up 160x2 to 185x2. So awesome.

[ESmith87]

Hope everyone is having a great week so far. Had an amazing workout today, looking forward to election results tonight. Great Day!

[beefcake66]

Ouch!! Loving your positive attitude, good to hear its only a big ass flabby blob, had myself a mini cancer scare a couple of years ago but I got the all clear. Enjoy your time off from the gym!

Surgeon did great job hiding cut in your skin fold. When they tell you to put ointment/cream on it, keep after it, hydration of the scar helps it heal nicer. At least that has been my experience. Hoping speedy recovery.

It is far from over, but I am proud of the journey so far. Thank you.

That is awesome! Great write up.

Long day, guy in Jaguar splits car in half on a light pole. Had to supervise getting the pole out of the cars passenger seat so we could get the road open again. Bad neighborhood, two guys get into argument down street, get freaky with guns. Barricade themselves in their houses. Two SWAT teams deploy while we trying to get pole out of car.

Alright now though food is in belly, heading out to the garage to pick up heavy stuff and put it back down for a while.

You're not wasting any time are you??? And WHOA on the deads! Girl, you put me to shame! Congrats!

That's quite an incision. I really wish MDs would take more care when closing a wound though. We need to help you find a better cover story. I'm thinking knife fight? Attacked from behind? Glad you're doing okay. Hope you're not on the sidelines too long.

Wut the...dude! You're HUGE! Your hard work is most certainly paying off!

I love DTP. Actually I love all of Kris Gethin's stuff, his videos are what got me started into consistent exercising last January. I did DTP for 5 weeks when he released the video trainer this past August. Dramatic Transformation Principle is not a lie, probably some of the best results I've had over a 5 week span.

I'm actually about to start a few weeks of it today!

Thanks for the kind word folks! Just got the official word from the doc:

NO WEIGHTS FOR TWO WEEKS!!! OMG OMG OMG ...... WUT THE FUK am I going to do with myself?? I'm bored already........

MoCardioBunny

[WorksGurl]

SOOOOO had an epic run last night, the kind where while you are running you feel great then after you run you feel like you are going to take over the world and restart you life and be that AWESOME super human that you want to be. WELL, then I woke up this morning to lift and my body was like, WHY in the heck did you make me run last night? As of this morning my knee and ankle on the same side that I broke my foot on are super sore and well "not happy" I still feel like I am kind of back on track though to get after it for the rest of this comp and hopefully the rest of my life ;o)


Hope everyone is doing well!

[mbogier]

For your next chest workout try this: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/dtp-supersets.htm

good job!!!

Keep it up!!!

[Cindaboo1]

I'm having a blast with this contest. Working hard in the gym and even harder on the diet. Had a full on cheat day on Saturday...WHOA! But, weighed in this morning and the scale didn't tip bad at all. So I'm looking forward to my bi-weekly weigh in on Friday.

I'm also starting to see some vascularity so even though my weight isn't moving like I want...the bodyfat is coming off. After Saturday it's back to clean eating, protein shakes and showing my body who is boss.

You guys are doing great and I can't wait to see everyone at the end with goals achieved and new goals set.

My next goal is doing my first show in the Spring. Anyone else plan on doing their first competition in 2013?

Very motivating my friend!!! Keep up the good work!

[McGarnigle]

Big time DOMS from a good chest workout last night.

A leangains style intermittent fast got me through to noon, and ran an easy deficit for the day, with a 5k thrown in for good measure.

Also, for your consideration, has anyone ever tried coconut oil in their coffee? Sounds crazy but I did it today and it was delicious!

[evarts78]

Great Arms Workout!
Alternate DB curls 3x6 @ 50#
Tricep Pushdowns 3x6 @ 150, 160, 170#
Standing Cable Curls 3x6 @ 120, 130, 130#
Overhead Tricep Extenstion 3x6 @ 160#
Concentration Curls 2x6,5 (failure) @ 45#

Keep after it sistah!

Love coconut oil! Sounds intriguing...will have to try it out. How much did you add in?

[crownroyle]

Hey guys- I'm back in the cold, wet, dark, Pacific Northwest! I actually got some decent exercise in while I was in Hawaii, but we ate out a lot and I'm sure I took in more cals than I needed. So anyways, back to reality, and back to the diet.

[McGarnigle]

A half tbsp to a Starbucks grande (16oz?).
