Jaim91 becomes an American Figure chick!

[Bad.bull]

Good Morning Jaime, Rise up and lets hit this wonderful day running...WTH....I must have got enough sleep last night....LOL...

Helen????

[jaim91]

Morning guys!

So...kinda upset about the results of BL last night. Don't get me wrong, I respect all the players, and for each one of them to lose more than 50% of their weight is amazing...but....I'm upset Tara didn't win. Not to mention, Helen kinda looked genuinely unhealthy. Her arms and legs were boney! Totally not expecting that. Oh well. The girl I voted for to be on the show next season got on, so I was slightly less disheartened, lol!

MOVING ON!!!! I'm going in to be a lab rat today. It's the whole do a blood test, swallon carbon dioxide, do a blood test day today. So I'm not allowed eating or working out until about 8:30. But then I have class at 10:30, so I'll be training with nothing in my system but Vaso and Xtend again. Here's hoping I can still put out a PR!!! Wooo!!!

I'LL report back later with how it went!

Motivation of the Day: Not necessarily what I'd want to look like...but she's Canadian...and has amazing legs...



What I'm reading: http://ericcressey.com/newsletter154html - Classic front squat vs. back squat argument. I love Eric.

Jebus you're strong!

You ready for Tara to get owned tonight?

As long as Helen doesn't win (which she won't - not enough weight to lose), I'll be happy. I hate her! She's annoying

Wow....who would've called that? Looks like we were both wrong...that never happens!!

You know, if you keep on piling on these PR's, you're gonna make the rest of us feel so ordinary.

Hope all is well, Jaime!

If you keep piling on those compliments, you're going to make my ego feel so swollen...

yer the best!

Good to hear that Courteny was able to meet up withyou. She sounds like a great training partner. I like it when my bf and I go to the gym together because then I can get him to spot me if I need it. I have asked other people but I dont trust them the same. They often come in too early (I think cuz I'm a girl) where as the bf wont touch the weight unless I am really failing and need it.

Look at all of those PR's. You are gonna be at the end of the rack soon
And you did 50 minutes of cardio and are going to do more later. Why so much?

If you train at the uni gym tomorrow for the last time, make sure you make it the best one ever

P.S. The article was good and I totally agree on how important stage presence is. Gotta know how to show what you got

Sometimes Court helps too much, but it's only because she doesn't know how strong she is. So when she spots a 135 bench, it's no big deal for her to lift the whole thing, lol! But I hear ya about the guys....

Uh...yay cardio?

It'll be a good one...hopefully!

You set the bar high girlfriend, I was extremely happy with my 50's, I guess 55's next week!!!

Man you killed it today, super proud of you, keep up the hard work, clean eating and positive attitude, it's definitely contagious.

I can't help but rave about you to the rest of my social networks, you take awesome care of all your clients and we can't express how amazing that is!!

You rock Jaime, have a kick ass night tonight, keep killing the workouts!!!!!!

Don't hurt yourself

Ruh-roh...how many social networks know about me?

YOU'RE THE BEST!! Good chat yesterday!

I'm picking up on your sarcasm.....

Some say brevity is a sign of intelligence. I know you're jealous.

And for the formality....*cough-nice workout-cough*

Jealous and intelligence have probably driven a lot of people to do a lot of amazing things, ie. Thomas Edison and Ben Franklin. One prolly heard about the other...

This is the ONLY way to eat popcorn!!! Parmesean cheese sprinkled (ok, drenched) all over it!!!!!

Way to rock those PR's! You are whipping it!!! Keep up the good work. No binge, all good!

That sounds sooooo goood....

Thanks C!

This sounds Uber Perverted! Have a great night at your friends!

Thanks Jimmy! No perversion here...you know that....err....ya.

great looking workout there Jaime, hope you have a great night.

You too J!

nice benching Jaime...
How the heck am i ever supposed to catch up?!??!

You're not. That's the point....mwa ha ha!

GREAT JOB on the CHEST PRS!!!

Good Morning Jaime, Rise up and lets hit this wonderful day running...WTH....I must have got enough sleep last night....LOL...

Helen????

No. No running. Let's hit this day at 3.5mph baby!!!

I know.I'm upset...

[BaFtub]

Oh so busy in here LOL. Morning! Gluck with what seems to be a Lab for today o_O

[CMRCrider]

Have fun with the lab stuff today! If your ever in the Young and Finch area call me on my cell and you can come check out the hall if you want. You can laugh at my ghetto weight room lol

I know.I'm upset...

I was pissed myself. I never saw Helen as a threat and to be honest, I lost all respect for her when she wanted her daughter to go home so she could stay. As a mother, your children should come first...she is young and she obviously needed to be there.

I have to ask, because I asked Dave last nite as well.....is it NOT unhealthy that she lost 57% of her weight? More than half???

I was rooting for Tara myself. That girl kicked ass no matter what everyone threw at her. She is such an inspiration.

Thanks for the reading! Srs. This was actually answered some questions I have had for awhile.

Jealous and intelligence have probably driven a lot of people to do a lot of amazing things, ie. Thomas Edison and Ben Franklin. One prolly heard about the other...

I'm sure that's true. Scholars maintain, much like the loss of the translation of San Diego, that TE and BF actually had a joint venture involving flying a kite during a storm and getting the energy to power a lightbulb at the end of the string. Common folk lore says it was a key...but it was a light bulb. I read it somewhere.

[Kai2008]

I know and poor Tara was only off by 5 pounds!!!! She looked really disappointed.

So do you think its safe to workout on just Vaso/Xtend and not lose muscle?? I'm wondering this myself if I decide to do some morning cardio, I dont want to lose the musclez

[xXJennyXx]

Very interesting!

My Can-Fit-Pro instructor claimed to be able to tell what a person did for a living just by looking at them. He was pretty accurate too! Creepy.

He trained a lot of athletes, and said swimmers were the most difficult. Apparently, there is such a thing as being TOO flexible!

[push_it]

I agree with you about BL. I wanted Tara to win. All of them did amazing though. They have come so far.

I am so jealous of the lab work you get to do. And I know you will be busting out some PR's. You are Jaime you know

[Verti-gal]

Happy Hump Day. Hope your lab ratting goes well this morning. I'm sure you workout will still be awesome, even fasted.

[Mountain_Goat]

Happy Hump Day Jaime!!!

[HoosierHardGain]

I want to see a Biggest Loser with Jillian training one team, and Jaime training the other.



It would be epic!!!!

I was actually just thinking this.....wouldnt that be the perfect job for Jaime????

[Carlito99]

Are you kidding me? Stupid Helen (she did a good job, but I still don't like her )

[jaim91]

Ok, gotta address an issue here first and foremost...

Fasted resistance training:

1) READ THIS!!! http://bradpilon.com/2009/05/how-to-...of-muscle.html

2) Dr. Stuart Phillips - Look him up on Pubmed.... J.W. Hartman, D.R. Moore, S.M. Phillips. Resistance training reduces whole body protein turnover and improves net protein retention in untrained young males. Appl. Physiol. Nutr. Metab. 31(5): 557-564, 2006 smf http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/content/abstract/137/4/985 .... Mr. Phillips, out of McMaster U has done extensive research on the area of skeletal muscle hypertrophy in a fed/fasted state AS WELL has how much protein is optimal for growth (hint: we take in a lot more than we think we need).

If you have an hour....spend it listening to this. You will think QUITE differently about what you think you know about nutrition, and what you need if you're an athlete. http://www.podfeed.net/episode/Super...abolic/1633849

You are going to be anabolic when you resistance train. The minute you pick up a weight, you start a cascade of events involving hormones, metabolic pathways and nervous systems that induce hypertrophy. If you're eating enough throughout the course of the day, you'll be fine. Whether it's intermittent fasting, 3 meals a day, 6 meals a day, or fasted resistance training, if you're getting enough protein, you will get the benefits of lifting the weights!!! You're not impeded just because you don't have food in your system!!!

Now, to support this argument, what happens if you get too much protein? CLEARLY, the protein degradation enzymes (ie. protein breakdown enzymes) are going to be UPREGULATED!!! Taking in more than you need will tell your body to start breaking down the excess to take to the amino acid pool (or fat stores if you're taking in too many calories).

Ugh. Sorry for the rant. It's just that I've been doing a lot of researching, and studying and I'm not so quick to believe everything I hear anymore. So when someone says, "Fasted resistance training is bad", I wanna say, "O'rly? Cuz...I dun think so..."

AWESOME WEEKEND!

Jerry FTW!

Ha! Yeah right dude!

I agree with this!

I was pissed myself. I never saw Helen as a threat and to be honest, I lost all respect for her when she wanted her daughter to go home so she could stay. As a mother, your children should come first...she is young and she obviously needed to be there.

I was rooting for Tara myself. That girl kicked ass no matter what everyone threw at her. She is such an inspiration.

Ya, it was super selfish of her...good call.

You know, I do believe these people were being medically supervised, and I know for a fact they're not on ridiculously low calories. They do workout excessively, but they also eat healthy. So I guess as long as they're being monitored, it's legitimate.

Hoping?!?!? If I don't see a PR, I'm going start editing your posts.

Thanks for the reading! Srs. This was actually answered some questions I have had for awhile.

I gave you one!

More to come! I think you'd appreciate these ones as a DO/SP (smarty pants).

Whale's vagina.

She deserved to win....fo sho.

See my explanation above...I couldn't wait to PM you, lol!

Yes, 100% there is!

Aw, you're welcome to finish up my degree with me here Jess!

Happy Hump Day. Hope your lab ratting goes well this morning. I'm sure you workout will still be awesome, even fasted.

Thanks hun! The workout wasn't so bad....

Happy Hump Day Jaime!!!

You too Cliff!

It would be epic!!!!

I was actually just thinking this.....wouldnt that be the perfect job for Jaime????

yOU DON'T understand how much I want to BE that when I grow up. It's been a dream since i started watching the season years ago. When people compare me to Jillian, it's teh biggest compliment in the word!

Are you kidding me? Stupid Helen (she did a good job, but I still don't like her)

Me neither...ugh...bad choice....

[MoEcho]

Are you kidding me? Stupid Helen (she did a good job, but I still don't like her )

You'd like her if she was younger and hotter! S W U T!

[Kai2008]

Good info Jaime....listening to it right now!!

[xXJennyXx]

Yaaaay!!!

I'm not an idiot for doing all my workouts fasted!

Another interesting article, J-ME! I love the new feature.

[HoosierHardGain]

So, would the high amounts of protein that some take in during a cut be simply wasted protein?

[rpaul11]

So, would the high amounts of protein that some take in during a cut be simply wasted protein?

this is my question also...and if so...what would be the best choice to get the calories if you cut your protein?

[neilkaz]

Great info in those links, thx Jaime !!

And a serious question for Ms Awesome...do you ever have a workout without some kinda PR?

You're amazing ..keep it up .. neilkaz ..

[CM82682]

Thanks for dropping all these articles and whatnot on us, I'm like you and cant ever read to much about this stuff.

Solid workout too I guess...

Hmm....30's are what I use ....

[JY_21]

[norinicole]

Damn woman you have some wicked shoulders! Awesome workout girl

[AshDancer]

First of all...30lbs lateral raises?? DUDE (or rather DUDETTE!)

Secondly....a Jillian VS Jaime season would be ridiculous!! (or you could always take over her spot if she doesn't return)

Third....how was that popcorn last night?? I was thinking about you enjoying it last night while I was sipping my water!!
