I am JUGGERNAUT® - lilmzchief

[lilmzchief]

Lmfao at your last quote!! Girl I can picture you doing squats at your desk and dips on your chair hahaha
I couldn't agree more with consistency people often get very impatient and give up, wondering why they're not seeing overnight instant results! You clearly have your priorities locked down you lead by setting an example!! One of My jobs is working in a bar/ restaurant, where I am a waitress/ bartender. Needless to say, I'm surrounded by fried food and lots of alcohol!! The same people who used to make fun of my healthy habits and structured eating are now the same people that ask me for advice now I bring in protein pastries for them almost every week hahaha

Aw, that's so nice of you!!! I try to bring in protein pancakes. You make protein brownies, right? How do you make them?

[Zach A.]

I admit, it's my fault. Usually when I don't see results, it's because I'm not sleeping enough. >.<'

[lilmzchief]

Thank you so much for your response, there is so much good info here!! Also, you have such a nice physique I kinda just figured you could go either way with bikini or figure
What's crazy is that I have literally never taken ANY supplement consistently, other than vitamins and whey- now that I am taking infinite labs juggernaut, bcaas, and glutamine- I'm a believer. I have been worrying a lot about losing the much hard earned muscle I've been building- I'm naturally little and lose muscle FAST! Your legs are awesome, and I'm JEALO!! My calves are diesel, but my quads suck. Anyhow, I'm seeing that I'm actually still able to make GAINS while dieting, with supplement help. Ecstatic !! Your shoulders are greedy, tell them to share the protein with leggies!!! How often do you train legs? Your routine kicks ass, I might have to try and take a page out of that book
4Cs: Carb Cycling (like its a job haha- just posted my new carb cycle!)
Cottage Cheese- 1/4-1/2 c every night before bed!! Usually with some whey for flavor.. I swear it's, like, the secret! I'll have to cut it out soon though. I'm 6 weeks out currently
What's on your workout agenda today??

Thanks, you're so sweet! Joe posted up a video here about doing some squats (my fave exercise). The trick is to go heavy. Of course, do it safely. I only do legs once a week because it takes me so long just go recover from them. AND rest is as important as exercising. Well, I suppose I work them out when I do the stair master or cycling as well but I count those as cardio. During spinning classes, I push myself really hard by putting the gear as high as I can. To the point when sometimes I can't push the pedal anymore. Most people in the class find me so silly b/c I'm going the slowest. But hey, I have a different goal than most people.

I'll have to eat some cottage cheese. It's good casein. But you're right, eventually you're going to need to cut it out. I remember my trainer yelled at me when I mentioned that I was eating some when I was already near the competition >.<

Today's "rest" day. I'm thinking of running around with some friends. I guess it's "working out" but as my trainer says, No, it's just a hobby. Now go do your workout. =P

Good luck with your competition! Which one are you doing???

Thanks John! =)

YAY!!! I received a good news - I lost 1.5 inches around my waist. Finally! My abs are starting to shed and soon I should be seeing results from my hard work =)

I did 15 mins of ab workouts yesterday and created that donkey squat video. It's under editing right now but I'll be posting it up soon. I just realized it's going to be my first video and second guessing whether I should post it up or not. I also did 30 mins of cycling.

The day started out with 6 egg whites, 1 c. of spinach, and 1/2 c. of oats. There was so much food that I had to eat it in two meals. I also took in my morning supplements.

Meal#3 is 4oz of white fish, 1 sweet potato, and 1/2 of spinach.
Meal#4 is 1 sweet potato, 4oz of flank, and 1/2 c. of green beans + BCAA, L-Carnitine, and CLA.
Meal#5 is 4oz of chicken, 1 slice of pineapple, and 1 c. of spinach.
Meal #6 is 4 oz of white fish, 1 c of oats, and 1 c. of green beans.
Snack - protein shake + BCAA, L-Carnitine, and CLA.

Today's rest day for me. Time to recoup and catch up. But "rest" day still includes some core exercises, pushups, and pull-ups. Well, I suppose it's not really "rest" day after all =) Some of my friends want to go running. So I think I'll do just that ;-)

[alika2die4]

I just started with it today, so can't tell the difference yet =) But I'll let you know within a week. Thanks a bunch. It really helps to know that logging in info helps =)

I'd be interested to see your review on phenyl-core. I have been on it for awhile and love it.

Great job losing those inches in the waist! It's always awesome to be able to notice the results of your hard work.

Your diet looks excellent. I am thinking about adding more fish into my daily diet once I start cutting. How do you like the white fish you are eating? I usually opt for salmon, but since I need to buy in bulk, I will probably end up buying frozen fish from a wholesale store.

Thanks =) I eat different types of white fish - Swahi, Tilapia, Mahi-Mahi, Tuna, Orange Roughy, etc. I also purchase my fish in bulk. Some fish are less expensive than the others. But I really like variety so I can't eat the same kind every time. When are you planning to do your cutting?

I'm definitely going to keep those in mind. Orange Roughy sounds familiar, I know I've heard it somewhere around here before.

Ideally, i'd like to hit 150lbs clean bulking, then get into my cut. I started at around 138lbs 2 weeks ago, and I just weighed in today at 143.4lbs. Hopefully I can make 150lbs in 3-4 weeks.

hey man, just curious, you have trouble gaining the lbs? the way you ended that sounded like your max weight is around the 150 range..

Read into the side effects of Orange roughy. I'll stick with talapia and other fish.

Lol!! I think of it as an "active rest" haha too true, rest is so important. Anything we do in the gym is almost pointless of we don't follow through with what goes on outside of it, right? I am cutting it out tomorrow-just going to finish what's left in the fridgidaire and then goodbye for 6 weeks.... Sad face I loveeeee it! When did you cut it?
I am doing npc Pittsburgh in may! When are you planning to compete again? Also, congrats on your 1.5 in progress girl!!! Go get yourself something cute to show off haha you should be so proud of yourself!!

[eriemoto]

The heaviest I've ever been was 150lbs., but it was a bulky 150, with a BELLY! I never want that again. I'm trying to put on some slow, solid mass back up to 150lbs. doing it the RIGHT way. Then I will hopefully cut for the end of Spring, early Summer. Next Fall, I will attempt to hit 160lbs!

Interesting to know. I will definitely look into it. For now I think I am stinking with Salmon, Cod, Flounder.

[elizalane5]

I am totally posting my recipe tomorrow... Telling you, they're soo easy and to die for!

Mine is around 6-8 weeks. It really depends on how I look at that time. It really comes down to art and science a few weeks out... Figuring out how to look your best but at the same time look "full" at the same time. Like Joe mentioned in his log that each category has a "look". And in figure, one must have muscles but still look feminine and handle herself with confidence and grace. =)

The first NPC competition for me is going to be in Lakeland, near Orlando. Depeding how I do with it defines when my next one would be. I just found out that there's 7 girls in my team! Woot! That should be a blast but also carries an extra pressure to work harder. I think we all have the categories covered, even the teen section. Since this is my second season, more expectations are lying on me. Last season, the promoter for the upcoming comp personally taught me posing tips and how to carry myself on stage. She does not do the judging but at the same time, I want to show her that taking a few minutes to help me out is worth the time.

Thanks, hmmm... Dress or a cute skirt.... Decisions, decisions... ;-)

How are you doing with your posing practices?

[lilmzchief]

Read into the side effects of Orange roughy. I'll stick with talapia and other fish.

Hm, didn't know there was any. Thanks for the info. I'm craving bass today. Oh man, chargrilled Chilean bass on a bed of spinach, onions, tomatoes, and brown rice with a side of mango salsa.... Oooooooo....

[lilmzchief]

I'm bouncing off the walls this morning. So much so I'm already driving people nuts doing hip hop dancing. I'm planning to stop by Disney today and do the Kim Possible agent mission designed for kids. xP who says you can't be young at heart?!

I have already done some compound exercises this morning, pull ups, leg raises, pushups, crunches, upside down sit ups, handstand pushups, donkey calf raises, and Russian twists. Must work on flexibility and do some stretches.

Meal#1 includes egg whites, asparagus, oatmeal,and a scoop of Juggernaut along with my morning supplements.

I'm taking some chicken with me to much on.

It's a beautiful day, no time to stay inside... Hope everyone has a great day today!!!

A friend shared this video and I thought this might help someone else too.

Glad you like fish. I eat quite a lot. Salmon, basa (sutchi), tuna, catfish, cod. I used to eat halibut, but it is too expensive now. Grouper, snapper is algo good and your bass sounds good!

Thanks. Fish is funny. You have to figure out which fish is in season so you can get the best price. Wonder if there's a chart that shows which fish to get during which time of the year.

Welcome to our lil Juggernaut group!

Sounds like you have your head on straight for some great workouts and are goal oriented! Awesome!

Good luck!!! Looking forward to reading up on your progress

If there is such a word that defines me, I’m a one-person circus. Busy may be an understatement at a first glance at my lifestyle. However, I can’t settle doing anything less. I’m a full-time and freelance web developer, full-time student, and a figure athlete. I only started competing in figure last year so I’m still new in it. Ever since I was introduced to the world of weight lifting, I knew that I found my passion. There is just something wonderful about this feeling of being strong that keeps me coming back, and knowing that I’ll break my own records the more I train. The greatest part is helping and influencing others to also lead a healthier and fitter lifestyle.

This year, my fitness goals include increasing the size of my upper body, giving my lower body a more defined look, give my back much more definition, make my waist smaller, and bring home a trophy from an NPC LVL V competition. There’s going to be so much work to do. But it excites me to see the progress I’m making. Along with fitness goals for myself, I want to help 3 friends this year to reach their own fitness goals. It’s always more fun making strides when there’s company.

Upon reading the contest rules, I felt that Infinite Lab’s philosophy of having fun being a juggernaut, motivate others, and training is in-line of what I’m currently doing. I like what being a juggernaut stood for – “A Juggernaut is an unstoppable moving force that pushes past any boundaries. We will stop at nothing to reach our genetic potential.” Since I’m a go-getter and refuse to step down from a challenge, I'm really STOKED to enter.

I lift 2x a week with my trainer especially for exercises that requires me to grow my strength in such as squatting. Once a week, I do my “touch up” exercises such as chest, triceps, and biceps. My cardio consists of at least 30 min. cardio (but no more than an hour) 4x a week. I try to make cardio “entertaining” so I pick up some dancing or group exercises sometimes to mix it up. Who says cardio has to be boring?

My diet consists of 6 “clean” meals a day and 1 snack. I do my “cheat meal” once a week which substitutes a meal and a snack. My supplementation includes fish/flax oil, BCAA, glutamine, kelp, CLA, L-tyrosine, B-Complex, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E. I just ordered my Juggernaut and Infinite Pro 100% Whey Isolate with Infinite Labs. Can’t wait to try them!

I'm sure google has it or there's an app for that somewhere.

Just thought to update my log before heading to bed. It's been a long day.

I found out that I lost 4% body fat today!!! WOOT WOOT!!! I'm making a good headway and haven't even started leaning out yet. Proper diet definitely help out a lot =)

There is a lot to be said regarding preparedness. Apparently, I ended up taking the day off since my dental appointment turned out into two events and the whole process took longer than expected. I'm so happy that I prepared my 6 meals and brought everything with me instead of thinking that I'll just make my meals from my stash of food from work. No hungry girl on the road today!

Meal#2: 4 oz of white fish, 1/2 c. of brown rice, and 1 c. of bok choy
