I'm glad to see that you started a journal! Welcome

I'll be keeping an eye on this journal! Look at those measurement decreases! Congrats! Are you going to post pictures?

Sunshineslynn · 03-10-2005, 10:15 AM

Good to see you started one and that we are competing around the same time. Question though are you bb or figure?

Ive been starting this for a month now. The courage that it takes to put your self out here is phenomenal. (You ladies are the BOMB!)
I figure "how & the heck are you going on stage Naked "almost" and afraid of a little/lot of well need criticism". Posting pics this evening, if all is successful.

Body Building is my fire!

Forgot supplements above:
L-Glutamine
7 - Keto(just started)
Lean Out(just started)
Vitamin Power Pak(too long to list)
On a rough day - Redline

Just talked to my consultant/Mentor - starting today Posing every other day for 30-45 min and between each working set. This will shake off the nerves, huh?

MMA_Fighter · 03-10-2005, 11:17 AM

When i did my first BB show, for the 4 months prior right up to the morn of the show. i visualized me on stage, no one out there in the audience, just me doin my thing..everywhere i went,when i could i listened to my routine music, and visualized it from start to finish, from me walkin onstage to leaving after..and u kno what? i did practice my routine of course, but when i went on stage, all i remember is them callin my name, takin a deep breath and goin into visualize mode, next thing i kno, im backstage again, my trainer tellin me i nailed every single part of my routine!!I dont even rember being onstage by myself!! Then again, i had the flu, maybe i passed out..lol..wait no, i got pix to prove it! haha..hope this helps a bit..

Your on a roll. Your weekend was committed as WHAT! SO help with the HIIT PLEASE. What do you do to receive the most from it. Im "cardioaddicted", so when I finish I feel the results, but just cant get over the time element. It seems 20min is so drastic from my 55min. Im using the efx climber or the elliptical rotating levels by multiplying the level and resistence by 2. I just started so natually I havent seen any results yet, your opinion, Please???

I thought I'd post this in your journal and mine. I'm not sure which one you will check first and you might want it in yours for later reference.

I hate cardio. No, I DESPISE cardio. If you are doing HIIT correectly, you shouldn't be able to do 55 minutes. On my moderate cardio days, I do an hour or so. I have some cardio videos at home and a jump rope. So, I jump for a minute and do the video for a minute. I have kickboxing and step videos, so I alternate between those. Your intervals may not be intense enough. Intensify your hard intervals much more and you should see results.

Honestly, I don't know if I have any results. I look at myself everyday and I am very very critical of myself. I have pictures and will take more progress pictures in 2 weeks. I'll be able to really see if there have been any changes. I feel so good after doing it though. Jumping rope really makes you work your core. It forces you to stabilize your entire body in order to jump efficiently. Hopefully, this has done SOMETHING to my body! I've only been doing it for a short time also, but I think that I should see some results after a month.

angeleye · 03-14-2005, 08:25 AM

MMA - Where are those pix?

If I leave out Saturdays menu, Ill be able to live with myself. I tried HIIT for the 1st time and I was so hungry it scared me. Every 2 hours I was "stomach-caving-in-hungry" didnt like this feeling at all.
I attended our local NPC Novice show. Again, a real learning experience. You can really evaluate your crappy discipline, when you see those out there who have worked and those who didnt. What was amazing to me was seeing more fat than I would have been comfortable with showing if Iwas competing. Knowing this is my weakest area, it made me reflect on my lazy leg day. There is a will, so I know Ill find the way to "BRING IT" the right way.
Sunday

BTW - water should naturally taste like Crysal Lite - IT SUCKS. You would think after years of this I could just drink the Crap!

Ready to take the brutal reality of posting my pix. Bring it, I need the truth.
Ladies, did you have any apprehension over posting, its safe right?

WannaBeModel · 03-14-2005, 08:29 AM

Post those things, girl! You know you look great!

Why in the world are you doing powerflex AND lifting? You don't really need all that...you're probably overtraining. Don't you think you'll burnout soon?

Sistersteel · 03-14-2005, 11:00 AM

Angeleye- So nice to see another women who has a passion for bodybuilding. I am very impressed with your progress made in the last year, you lost alot of inches.

If you are anything like me then you spend time looking at female bodybuilers who have been doing this for a few years. I like amandad.com, and nicoleberg.com. Then when you look at the novice bodybuilders at the shows they don't seem to compare. I found that by looking at the novice level bodybuilders who are in the same position as me boosted my confidence. My expectations get too high when I look at the national level bodybuilders.

Do you include an essential fatty acids, Udo's oil or Flax? This should help with the hunger. Are you tracking you calories or ratio's? Your complex carbs look really low, I tried this and it didn't go very well, my body just held onto everything. Let me know how things are going.

Can't wait to see pictures
SS

angeleye · 03-14-2005, 11:35 AM

IM READY - HAVE AT IT.

SS - I totally forgot to include 2tb of flax. I add it to my MRP.(WHEW - thats not good tasting at all.) And while Im out here in the world of honesty. My water intake along with my consistency with my supps was horrible. Ive recommitted to it today. I'd hate for something so small to hurt me. Besides I dont have the money to thow away$$$$$$$

WannaBeModel · 03-14-2005, 11:50 AM

You look great! Congratulations to you! AND, you are a mommy of 2...very impressive. I'm jealous now! I need to get my butt in gear after checking out your pictures.

Why on earth were you afraid to show those? Just keep working as hard as you have been, you'll do great!

sillyvent · 03-14-2005, 02:36 PM

kkapp · 03-14-2005, 06:08 PM

Hi angel
I was just checking out your post... YOU ROCK on the stats from a year ago til now... You really dropped inches. that's awesome. How did you do it? What was your carb/pro/fat ratio? Did you do supplements the whole time. Did you cycle them at all? Was most of it weights and how much cardio? Did you bulk then cut?
sorry for all the quesions, but I am trying to decrease my measurements and lose pounds too, but yet get more definition.

Sistersteel · 03-15-2005, 07:17 AM

You look GREAT!
Are you still dropping weight?

Your going to look awesome up on stage!!!

OH MY - I was spent last night. I wasnt even able to hold a conversation when I got home. I ate the pb because my body started shaking & I couldnt fix anything fast enough. OVERTRAINED - is the key word. I was a little to excited about starting a new program discussed by my "sculptor"l. Im so obsessed with my quads and lw back that Im not thinking REPAIR=GROWTH.

Support from you guys is like no other! Thank you isnt even good enough. But come on, bring the advice, do you see those legs :<! Give up gurus, How can I make this happen. Do I double legs days, or increase the cardio?

WannaBeModel · 03-15-2005, 08:38 AM

What is your leg workout like right now?

angeleye · 03-15-2005, 10:23 AM

Kris - seated extensions, curls, press, bb squats, dls., db lunges. Plie squats every other day. I feel the muscle(I think its shy & doesnt want to show itself :>) Im checking your site now for your reply to the other question.

kkapp - I wish I would have been more disciplined in doc.my history but here goes:Most importantly MY DIET. I wasnt eating any protein. My ratios where moved to 40/30/20
Exercise: Cardio 3 days(2 classes back to back = 1hr hi impact ie. step,kickboxing & 1hr class power lifting) day 4 cardio - reg class. I think these two elements dropped inches. Supplements from day one where glutamine, creatine, fat burner. Weight training is more effective for my body type when done in spilts. Whole body training was too much in addtion to my cardio work. My diet for competition started mid-jan. I posted it on top. It by far has given me the most results - lean ratio. I see my consultant this week for the cutting diet. I really thought this would have been sooner but He said I wasnt ready until now.

SS - scale says Im losing a .5-.75 lbs per week. Comp date I should be 6lbs leaner. I wish I knew how to comp. for how many fat lbs that would be.????

Hey you!

I should have asked before...how much weight are you lifting on these? They look like good exercises. I don't know if you saw my pics or not...my legs look soft, but are not soft at all. I do walking lunges with 45's in each hand, romanian deadlifts, barbell squats, and stepups. That's it! Oh yea, and I walk on the treadmill on a really high incline. THAT will get your legs so nice...lift your junk up high and everything!

YAY!!!! I'm glad you like it. Or hate it...or both! It's can be a love/hate thing. I love getting up in the AM and kicking my azz, having those endorphins buzz all day, and sweating like a fool. But it is torture!

Sunshineslynn · 03-15-2005, 10:43 AM

Hey just peeked in here and wanted to say you will lean up nicely. In regards to legs what is you foot placement on the press? I started doing a superset of 3x10 with feet low and touching close together then move wide and up high. Makes me burn like no tomorow and my outer sweep has come a long way. First time I did those I thought I was going to pass out.

Another fishoholic, I see

Hey, what is Power Circuit?

angeleye · 03-18-2005, 08:57 AM

its so cool - and the only way to describe it is power circuit. Ballys calls it Powerflex. Step warm-up, 2 min wt on each group, flr exercise for abs and glutes, and kicks or a run at 1/2 way point, depending on the volume of the class. My Sculptor teaches the class. Whats real cool is he knows Ive missed a group he will increase emphasis on that. Like I missed shoulders/calves hell add extra today and ask me to pick up the pieces 2morrow.

angeleye · 03-21-2005, 05:58 AM

Those missing fats may have made all the difference. And you know...monthly changes are hell. You have to excuse certain things at those times.

Did you remember your flax today? Check out how you feel with it. It might be the key!

angeleye · 03-23-2005, 06:05 AM

So its Wednesday and the effects of a 24 virus still sucks. I thought by now the queasy, yucky feeling would be gone by none. I did absoulutely nothing yesterday except suck down gatorade. At 5pm when I finally dragged myself of the couch, the fiend came out. I had to at least do Yoga. I must say a very good way for me to ease out the aches and kinks of the virus. (I used my own mat, hand sanitizer if ya know what I mean) Soooo, the excuse for not doing this mornings HIIT routine was.......weight training thats it! T-Sculptor was in, so we did Chest (as much as my body could stand)
chest press: 1x8@90, 2x12@70 1xfailure(super weak set)
push ups:5x25(ball)
I forgot my lunch, Im forced to eat tuna all day( my stomach is not ready for this:<)
cardio: Kickboxing 55 min
pm wo: inclines flyes 3xfail, decline press 4x25, db press 2x14@15

m1 - mrp, 4 strawberries,
m2 - tuna, spinach
m3 - tuna salad
m4 - chix, greens

tried liquid creatine wed. Increased energy in eve, even after very lazy afternoon. However, diet and all supps on point so hard to tell if it truly gave results.(or was it the power nap on the couch for 15m) Off to a corrective start: over slept on purpose, so HIIT is moved to pm with shlr/calf routine.
on set of fear crept in: reading to many journals I think. my bf% is freakin me out. Talked to nutritionist again, hes got to be sick of me. Says we will tweak on Sat. "High Tread " - what ever that means......is what the transition will be. I hope that means my legs wont be such an eyesore! Oh yeah, today big office party, fruit try with grapefruit/straws, 1 slice in the plan hooray!
