Gaining weight while getting leaner
Posted in Training : Feb 29, 2012 11:32amThis year for my competition training I have been meticulislly writing down every single thing I eat. I have had my calories around 2,500 up until last week at 4 weeks out. Now I am around 2,000-2,200. I basically cut down slightly on carbs which were low already and a bit of my fats. I started at 12% Bodyfat and a weight of 152 at the 8 week out mark. I am now at 7% or a little less and 149. I have maintained my weight at 150 up until this week. At 7 weeks out we changed our workout to the 4x workout from the March issue of Ironman Magazine that Steve Holman and Jonathan Lawson designed. It l...
Bodybuilding is a selfish sport????
Posted in Training : Feb 18, 2012 8:30amAll of us who have competed know how selfish bodybuilding can be especially in the final weeks of prep for a competition. I always try to put my family first and then fit bodybuilding around it. Recently a very dear friend of mine passed away after battling ALS for several months. It robbed her of her mobility and eventually her life as well as devestating her family of a husband and 3 daughters. Feeling terrible for their loss I tried to think of what I could do in Janet's honor to make a difference. I figured I did not have much time being so involved with training for the upcoming show and...
Back to "normal"?
Posted in Training : Nov 17, 2011 5:55amAfter about a 6-8 week stint of eating like "us normal people" (even though my version of that is probably more healthy than 90% of those "normal" people) I am back onto a cleaner diet...not a competition level diet (that comes a little down the road) but a clean diet where insulin is better controlled and nutrients are better balanced. There is still room for an off the wagon meal or two on the weekends but for the most part I am eating pretty clean.
Only a couple weeks into it and I have lost water weight which feels so much better than the bloated

Thanks Michael!!!! It will probably be about another month before I post anything new. Just started a new program this week and want to see some actual results before I post anything else. :) You're looking great by the way.

My private message app doesn't seem to be working properly but I do not live in the metro area or anywhere near there. I would still appreciate your experience and support if you have time.

Awesome thanks that would be very helpful. My biggest issue right now is getting over the humiliation of wearing this monstrosity of a body I have created into the gym. I can't believe that I just shut down and let this happen to me. I WILL get past it though and any support I can get will make it that much easier.

Amazing transformation!!! I am just trying to figure out how to fit fitness into my life and really want to be a competitive body builder myself even if just on an amateur level. It is a very long road for me though and it is inspiring to see what you have accomplished.
