Stephanielynn's Journal: Finding the beauty in the beast

[thehobbes]

Holy muscle poppage woman! Love the vids, puttin' in serious work, aww yeahhh.

[cmg1976]

My phone won't show me your vids or pictures so I guess I'll have to wait until next week for the awesomeness

[tahinilove]

Damn you have such a good physique - so my dream figure! And I love how you can always see your strength in every rep - if that makes any sense?

[ronrob22]

Looking very nice Stephanie! Your back is definitely a strong point. Not to leave out anything else but it does look great. Videos are great, too. Nice to know that others struggle and push. The guys I work near seem to have no issues with anything they pick up, so it's at times humiliating to have to stop and reload with something lighter when I'm burnt out.

I'm coming back from many weeks off from injury and illness. Nothing like picking up a nasty staph infection in the gym. Wipe down your equipment people! Grrrr.

[stephanielynn76]

You've got some nice chest definition Steph!

Thanks chickie! My BP is one of my weak points so I'm glad to hear that.

Awesome videos!!!! Love the ROM on those chin-ups!!! Awesome job with it all- you look amazing

Thanks Lori! You are such a sweet ray of sunshine... always encouraging!

The thing that keeps coming to mind when I see your vidz are that A.) you have a job, B.) you have a hubby, C.) you have kids, D.) you still look this fabu! Wow.

Girl I will not say it's easy to manage it all... it ain't. I sacrifice other things in my life to pursue this lifestyle. I don't have many friends, my house is never clean and organized, and there is little time to devote to other hobbies and things I'd like to do. I love training though so I do what I have to do to get it in!

I too love that tank!!

Love all the videos! I wish I were brave enough to break my camera out a bit more...

Just do it!!! You should be proud of that incredible body!

You're welcome.

I think I'm gonna put in a request for a few pieces of equipment I've been eyeing.

I was doing the same thing...LOVE that tank!!

LOVE your videos, Steph. Awesome work!!

Saw the Versa Gripps

And, I notice that your gym doesn't have any music blaring?? I've only shot a few videos...and there is always some cheesy music playing in the background. LOL

Haha somehow I knew you'd say you liked that tank! No they don't play music in our gym... they never have. I guess there are just so many people with different music preferences that someone would complain about the song selection...

Oh WOW!!! Your daughter's friend looks just like my wife when she was that age!!

THAT IS SO SWEEEEEET!!

Haha!! Awwwwww... that's cute! Those girls get along great. I'm glad Ryleigh has a friend like her...

Great videos, Steph! Man, you make me want to break out the phone but I just haven't yet. Slacker! And I want some shots doing pull ups... people have told me my back is looking good, but I never get to see the darn thing!

Mirin

Slacker!!! Break out the phone and share some awesomeness. We ALL want to see that back!

Oh wow! That was my little "lunch at the movies" ... complete with cardboard popcorn! You look awesome! I didn't even know you had a journal because I never leave my User CP neighborhood

Killed that workout too!

Haha!!! Thanks for the visit swooshie!! I see you round the journals and you are always such a sweetheart!

Holy muscle poppage woman! Love the vids, puttin' in serious work, aww yeahhh.

Awwwwwww yeahhhh!!! Ham's in the house... I always love your posts!

My phone won't show me your vids or pictures so I guess I'll have to wait until next week for the awesomeness

Girl I KNOW you are enjoying yourself on your trip!!! Now THAT is the way to deload!

Damn you have such a good physique - so my dream figure! And I love how you can always see your strength in every rep - if that makes any sense?

Gosh really??!?! What a compliment! Well girl you WILL get where you wanna be... time and patience.

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by. Haha... I do get complimented on my back more than anything else it seems (other than my bum haha). For me, it's one muscle group that seems to respond well and GROW for me. LOL... and yes... I've said it before... I never make lifting look easy and effortless like some others do. I work for every rep. Towards the end of my bulk I was pushing my numbers up as high as possible hoping to make some strength gains before my cut. It's been a little bit of a blow to my ego to have to take some of the weight off and focus on volume since I started cutting but that's what needs to be done. Sorry to hear about your staph infections... eeeewwwwwww. Yeah if you go in the gym with any type of break in the skin it's best to keep it well covered! You never know what kind of bugs are lurking around a place like that...

you've awesome traps indeed

[tahinilove]

I'm going to have to be pretty patient - want to bulk but don't want to be a summer fatty ha!

How are you finding the cutting calories so far? I fear the hunger when cutting ha!

I'm not going to be that overly complimenting guy on the internet. There's enough of "that guy" already. So no butt love for you today. ;D

Crazy stuff...no breaks in my skin to cover. Originated close to my ankle. Only thing I can figure is that I was sweaty and hot with pores open. One of the pads was rubbing across it. However it got there it took six weeks to get over, right after a bad injury from dead lifting.

[stephanielynn76]

I've been busy this week so now I'm trying to catch up! I miss all your journals and I'll be dropping by to see what's going on later tonight when I get to work!

SLDL - So I was hoping to hit a PR for these but that just didn't happen. I was already too zapped from the squats. Before I shared the vid... I wanted to explain my weird set-up. I used to do SLDL on a platform like this... (my friend here)

^^Well my gym got rid of it!!! Yes mad. I like to do a full ROM with my SLDL (I go all the way down until the bar taps the top of my feet). I can't do that just standing on the floor and it certainly doesn't work with big 45's on the bar. So... in the video you'll see my own make-shift setup for getting the same ROM as with the platform. I decided after taping though to drop down to one wooden step instead of two as getting the bar up the first time and putting it back down seemed to be a bit precarious.

you've awesome traps indeed

Girl I had to quit doing shrugs because my traps were blowing up. I don't like big ole traps on a girl.. it don't look feminine... lol

I'm going to have to be pretty patient - want to bulk but don't want to be a summer fatty ha!

How are you finding the cutting calories so far? I fear the hunger when cutting ha!

I know dat feel. Even before I had my sights set on the stage I still wanted to be lean for the summer. I would always start bulking in August when the kids would go back to school. I could get away with the calorie increase for quite a while before I started to look too fluffy. It's like a delayed reaction. You wake up one morning and your pants don't fit! LOL You know... I'm hungry but not uncomfortable by any means. I'm still eating around 1900 calories which is plenty. I am going to stay here until I plateau then drop gradually. I want to lose on the most amount of food possible and I want to drop gradually so that my metabolism has time to keep up with the changes. It takes a lot longer to see results but I should be able to retain more muscle.

I'm not going to be that overly complimenting guy on the internet. There's enough of "that guy" already. So no butt love for you today. ;D

Crazy stuff...no breaks in my skin to cover. Originated close to my ankle. Only thing I can figure is that I was sweaty and hot with pores open. One of the pads was rubbing across it. However it got there it took six weeks to get over, right after a bad injury from dead lifting.

No butt love??? LOL!!! I don't think you need to worry about being "that guy." I've met him before and you bare no resemblance at all.

Ahh, deficit SLDL- those are great!

Oh the PAIN...... I'm sitting at my computer and I'm very thirsty. I am dreading getting up to get water because it's gon HURT!

[Redfizz]

Wow. You look so wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.

[tahinilove]

You look so amazing - those shoulders! Loving the hair too! It is so great to think how far you have come with your body from where you began, makes me feel it is so much more achievable for me, which is great. 1900 isn't bad at all! I can understand why you would want to take it slow - muscle is so precious. How many weeks out are you?

[dreahere]

Wow. You look so wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.

^^^This. I like the wavy hair too.

[IrishLassie78]

Lurker coming out of the woodwork here to say you look fantastic and I love your videos They're really inspiring for someone like me who's really just starting out. Reading through everyone's journals and seeing that the whole bulking/cutting process really does work and work very well makes the whole concept of gaining weight purposefully much less scary. Glad to see someone who actually knows what they're doing using a box/platform for SLDLs. I started doing it about a month or so ago when I was finally able to use the 45lb plates because I'm short and my knees are low (srs) and I felt like I wasn't getting anything close to full range of motion. I can now tell my boyfriend (who about died laughing the first time he saw me use a box) that this is a real thing and not just me making sh!t up as I go along

[Cardioconvert]

I kinda like the wavy hair if you are taking a poll

I like when women bodybuilders have the whole "hard body, soft hair" look going on I am still trying to figure out how my hair will be for my show - my trainer and I are playing with my extensions and the whole wavy vs. straight thing

Pics are awesome - you are looking fab girl!

CC

[gobbles23]

I had no idea there were so many pictures in here- they're all blocked on my work computer Hahha! Love the hair! Mine's wavy today!!!

[BubsNBean]

I do SLDLs on that platform thingy too, love it. That way I can take the bar all the way down to my toes.

You "bulked" >>>> me "cutting". You're body is fantastic!

Steph, you're beautiful!!! And I like the wavy too

[stephanielynn76]

Wow. You look so wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.

Awwww thanks Red!!! xoxox

Girl you can DO IT! When I did my first cut (couple years back) I started at 1200 because I was a tard and didn't know what I was doing. I thought I would die of starvation. Cutting on 1900 is a dream! LOL I have learned so much in the last few years and it has changed my life. It IS my life now. I will be 16 weeks out come this Saturday.

^^^This. I like the wavy hair too. : )

Thanks Drea!

Yay... a lurker appears! I agree... seeing the vids and pics of "normal folks" has really given me a perspective of what is achievable and what the bulk/cut process really looks like. That's the reason I like to share my own journey with it... I want others to see the transformation! Haha... you go girl using your platform! Dem boys don't know everything. Sometimes we have to improvise...

Thanks CC! I have extensions too and I will be doing big loose curls with them. I actually like my hair with waves/curls when it's LONG. Short and curly doesn't look good on me. I actually have kinky natrually-curly hair and it's gotten pretty broken and damaged from being straightened every day. I am thinking of going back to wearing it curly for a bit so that I can grow it out longer. It won't grow with all the crap I do to it. It's the same length as last year but I've only gotten it trimmed about 3 times since...

I had no idea there were so many pictures in here- they're all blocked on my work computer Hahha! Love the hair! Mine's wavy today!!!

Not being able to see the pictures would drive me CRAZY!

I do SLDLs on that platform thingy too, love it. That way I can take the bar all the way down to my toes.

You "bulked" >>>> me "cutting". You're body is fantastic!

Steph, you're beautiful!!! And I like the wavy too

The SLDL platform crew. We rock! Thanks so much chick but no... me "bulked" is not ">>>" than you "cut." Dat avi!!!! Damn girl!!! Brb cutting inspiration!

So... I haven't been posting hardly at all lately. I haven't even updated my own journal much less visited anyone else's. My life has been go go go since last week and I'm exhausted. I usually keep my photo sessions down to 1-2 per week. I have done FOUR in the last 4 days... now I'm at work at my nursing job (night shift) tonight. On top of that my husband has been out of town and I've been playing single mom. I need some downtime soon before I go crazy. Brb checking myself into the looney bin for a break... Rant over.

Ok... catching up on workouts in the new few posts.

MONDAY - MARCH 18TH - HIGH-REP LEGS

TRAINING

So after Saturdays DL's I was still suffering from DOMS, particularly in my lower back. Because I am limited on the number of days I can train this week I didn't want to skip a day. My compromise was to do a light-weight high-rep leg day instead of my usual destroy-every-musle routine. It was fun and different... a bit more like cardio. I was so sweaty after...

**I was given permission by my coach to add 200 calories to the days that I work night shift. The reason being... because I am up and moving for 24 hours straight and thus my caloric needs are higher (increase in NEAT).

New workout pants that came in the mail today... ... I shall dub them "da booty pants!" LOL

[tahinilove]

Woo for the PR's!! Killer! I love the feeling of strength I get when I hit a PR - endorphins on high!

I really do love those new workout pants!

I used to always think if you want to cut weight then you have to be hungry and under a certain number of calories - naive! I'm on the bulk train now. Turn my little 122lb body to a beast hopefully!

16 weeks, that's quite a nice time to stay on fairly high calories then!

[ronrob22]

Serious question while I am not staring ape-faced at the new workout pants...what are you eating that's giving you such high protein numbers? Is that heavily supplemented with powder, or are you killing and eating 11 chickens a day? That's the one area I really struggle with, and it's clear to me that high protein really matters a lot in this process. I just can't seem to get there unless I drink about four shakes a day. A little diet insight, please.

[gobbles23]

Nice workouts in here!

Will have to go home to see pic of pants!

THIS, only thing I could think is you're eating 400g chicken breast (which is a TON of chicken breast) and a 50g protein shake, that'd knock out 150g of protein right there, then fill in the rest with other normal foodz.

Awesome pants!

I think this says it all!









Have you seen the stalker lately? Since you don't like wearing headphones and don't need music, perhaps a good pair of ear plugs are in order?

Yay, I can see your pictures now that I'm home I cannot believe you look so lean at 145#, it definitely speaks to your muscle development. I'm at 133# right now and I'm seeing all sorts of scariness in my videos and pictures (I try not to look to hard, lol)- saddlebags, thigh cellulite, stomach rolls. I'm not sure that my bulk is yielding the same kind of muscle growth yours do...

And, I love the wavy hair. I've never seen a bad hair day on you however. I need to be less lazy and actually do something other than a ponytail.

[stephanielynn76]

Wrote out some long freakin' replies to all these then LOST THE POST... I'm pissed!!!!

Let's try this again... I'm going to reply to one at a time then post it and edit it incase that crap happens again.

Woo for the PR's!! Killer! I love the feeling of strength I get when I hit a PR - endorphins on high!

I really do love those new workout pants!

16 weeks, that's quite a nice time to stay on fairly high calories then!

So yeah I was stoked to hit those PR's. PR's have been few and far between since I started cutting but that is to be expected I suppose. You, on the other hand, need to get on dat bulk train and get to hitting all kinds of PR's! Beast mode! As for my calories, I will stay at 1900-ish for several more weeks. I am 16 weeks out as of this coming Saturday. I will wait until I am 12 weeks out and see where I am and re-evaluate. Truth be told I have been literally too busy to eat lately. I've been either behind on calories and tried to catch up or skipped them altogether. That along with the extra added activity is enough to put me in a bigger deficit than I intended. I was 144lbs today... 9lbs down. Anyhoo... I LOVE the new "jeans" gym pants but I won't be squatting in them. They are great for my lighter upper-body days and for cardio but I've still got too much junk-in-the-trunk to be going ATG in them. That will change as I lose more body fat though...

A little diet insight, please.

LOL!!! Ok so my "protein numbers" are taken from my MyFitnessPal entries. I don't know how accurate it is but I can give you a run-down of what a typical day looks like for me. You can also go to MyfitnessPal.com and see my food diary. My username is the same as it is here.

Breakfast: I do IF so I only have coffee, BCAA's, & a pre-workout
Lunch: chicken breast (7-8ozs) + sweet potato
Afternoon snack: There are a few different options...
#1: diced-chicken egg-white omelet
#2: protein pudding (pre-packaged)
#3: pure protein bar (pre-packaged)
(^^ these work well on the go because I can keep them in my purse or gym bag)
#4: meat... whatever leftovers happen to be in my fridge.
Dinner: This is the meal that varies the most...
meat source: ground turkey, turkey patties, fish, etc.
carb source: brown rice, bread, low-carb wraps, etc.
vegetable source: broccoli, asparagus, mixed veggies
Evening snack: 1.5-2 cups of Greek yogurt, casein protein powder, & granola

Nice workouts in here!

Will have to go home to see pic of pants!

Thanks girl. Did you see the pants? Lori you would look SMOKIN' in these pants!

THIS, only thing I could think is you're eating 400g chicken breast (which is a TON of chicken breast) and a 50g protein shake, that'd knock out 150g of protein right there, then fill in the rest with other normal foodz.

Awesome pants!

Haha! Thanks! I have no idea how many "grams" of chicken breast I am eating, I just go by the ounces. As for the protein powder... I don't typically drink it in a shake (unless I'm behind on calories and trying to catch up). I only dump 1 scoop of it into my yogurt at night.

I think this says it all!


Have you seen the stalker lately? Since you don't like wearing headphones and don't need music, perhaps a good pair of ear plugs are in order?

Bwahahahah! I did see the stalker lady but she has not approached me. I think she mumbled something about me to her friend but I was just going on about my business. Crisis averted.

Yay, I can see your pictures now that I'm home I cannot believe you look so lean at 145#, it definitely speaks to your muscle development. I'm at 133# right now and I'm seeing all sorts of scariness in my videos and pictures (I try not to look to hard, lol)- saddlebags, thigh cellulite, stomach rolls. I'm not sure that my bulk is yielding the same kind of muscle growth yours do...

And, I love the wavy hair. I've never seen a bad hair day on you however. I need to be less lazy and actually do something other than a ponytail.

Girl don't even stress over saddlebags or cellulite (not that you have any... I certainly don't see it). I've still got all that fluff right now (mainly on my thighs) and it'll be here until I lose at least another 10lbs. I'm just enjoying having boobs and a booty while I can. I'm hoping at least some of the booty will stay but I know I'll be flat-chested come the end of June. Just keep on bulking. The muscle is there. The fat is just an illusion to hide dem gainz.

So about my hair... I'mma talk about that in a new post...
