Where I've Been

Posted in Other  :  Apr 02, 2012 12:00pm
I haven't been online much in the last 6 months.  Alot was going on with my family and I wanted to make sure I was spending my time in the most important places.  All is copacetic now so I hope to be on more often. It's motivating to keep in touch with other fitness folks and although I am uber motivated at the moment, it doesn't always last.  

I have debated whether or not I will admit this and if I should even go into detail and in the end I decided who cares if people know. I am not ashamed.

How I diet during contest prep

Posted in Nutrition  :  Apr 29, 2011 9:39am

I must be in the mood to write (which isn't normal) and I have had a few people ask me about diet & leaning out.  I'm not an expert by any means but I am an expert on how my body responds to food. 


First, I have dietary restrictions due to a stomach disorder and I can't eat most green veggies (broccoli is a big time no no), no beans, and anything that is super high in fiber.


Now that that is out of the way, my contest prep diet is pretty B-O-R-I-N-G. I retain water from grains so unless I am having a high carb day, the only grains I eat are oats

Superset:


a. Pull ups (all the way down, all the way up - no cheating here) b. Inverted rows (my LEAST fave exercise of all time)


a. Narrow grip pull downs b. Single arm bent over rows


No more superset:


Reverse db flies Straight arm pulldowns Face pulls
