Revamped my program

Made a new friend who happens to be a personal trainer as well as a recent former men's figure/fitness natural competition....checked out my program and also my food. I was doing some wrong things. He tweaked it a bit.   Here's my new regimine. I created a personal webpage for my transformation.   http://www.angelfire.com/crazy/tellytell/beginning/

Checking in and updating journal

Welp, I just finished Massage Therapy & Entero Lavage Therapy school and I'm all spent. Now I have to play "catch up" with my work load and get back into the groove of things as I prepare for the State Boards.   I worked out religiously most of my time in school with the exception of the last 3 weeks, where truthfully I have been in the gym, maybe 3 times. Tomorrow is back to the workout grind so that I can get my pump back.

Supplements I am taking..

A friend asked me..on another forum, what supplements I am taking.. thought I'd post them here for anyone who would like to know.   Fish Oil, 1,000 - has Omega 3's fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Helps to maintain heart and vascular health.   Nitro Explosion - Has creatine, glucuronolactone, vincamine, caffeine and keyt amino acids, including L-arginine which is an essential precursor of nitric oxide which helps maintain blood vessel tone. The formula is equipped with electrolytes that the body can lose during intense workouts. Electrolytes help to regulate body fluids and important functions, such as muscle contraction. So yeah.....it boosts workouts (taken 30 min before) and also helps speed up the recovery of your muscles   Biotin - helps promote growth and health of the hair, skin and nails.   GNC's Women's Ultra Mega ACTIVE multi-vitamin - (This is an awesome new product) - It's premium performance multivitamin formula is for active women. Energy production, electrolyte replacement, bone health and antioxident support.   MRM BCAA+G - An Amino Acid - You probably know that amino acids are the building blocks of protein. When you eat a protein food, it gets digested in the stomach and intestine into individual amino acids and short chains of amino acids that are small enough to be absorbed into the bloodstream. These amino acids have far reaching effects in the body from building and repairing tissues, to producing chemicals that enable our brains to function optimally. Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body. You must get them from complete protein foods or combinations of incomplete vegetable foods. There are 9 essential amino acids: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and valine. Your body can make non-essential amino acids by itself from vitamins and other amino acids.   EAS - Phosphagen (I dont take this anymore but will again in a few months) Phosphagen from EAS uses carbohydrates for triggering insulin thereby transporting creatine more effectively. Apart from increased creatine delivery, Phosphagen increases cell volume and accelerates muscle gain. You should mix it well in water or juice and drink four servings for 5 days. Gradually decrease the intake to 1-2 servings in a day.   The phosphagens are energy storage compounds, also known as high energy phosphate compounds, are chiefly found in muscular tissue in animals. They allow a high energy phosphate pool to be maintained in a concentration range which, if it all were ATP, would create problems due to the ATP consuming reactions in these tissues. As muscle tissues can have sudden demands for lots of energy, these compounds can maintain a reserve of high energy phosphates that can kick in as needed, to provide the energy that could not be immediately supplied by glycolysis or oxidative phosphorylation.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphagen   I drink:   Isopure - whey protein isolate (more pure and higher quality protein about 90-98% pure and less fat and lactose per serving)   Myoplex Lite - whey protein concentrate (concentrate - about 70-85% pure, the rest, fat and lactose)   Spiru-tein - soy protein - also known as a plant protein (phytoestrogens) which is a plant estrogen.   Lipo6 - Fat Loss excellerator - thermogenics     That's about it I think, lol...

110lbs? Is that too small? I don't know

I'm thinking I want to push for 110lbs but is that too small? I have no idea. I gotta figure out how fit, how much fat% I want to have etc. I'm lost. I'm about to get into some serious body building and I need to figure this out. Is it even important to be a certain weight?

Competition Readiness - Beach Body for Summer 2007

I have decided that today is the day I put a plan together where I can be either competition ready or beach body ready by May of 2007.   I am at the point now where I want to try my hand at body building. My Personal Trainer and I have developed a plan for me to be in competition readiness within the next 4 -6 months (amateur) if I do this to the "T".   Here's my plan:   Weight Training My weight training will be consisted of a six day a week split, created and designed to put emphasis on each muscle group, individually and allowing me maximum recovery. I will train each muscle group once per week.   There will be alot of emphasis on my posture and form. I will concentrate specifically on the muscle range, squeezing my muscles through the entire full range. I will be using heavy weights and will not do just 3 sets but maybe 3-4 sets with lower reps..such as 8 - 10 on most exercises to maintain my muscle during my calorie restriction. Remember lower reps, higher weights bulk you and higher reps, low weights tone you.   Cardio I will do cardio 4-5 days per week doing only 30-40 minutes of cardio per session at a high intensity level. I will be training on the elliptical and my bike and take some spinning, maybe treadmill as well. I may take some classes such as yoga and pilates to vary my workouts.   Nutrition I will be on a strict nutritional plan, taking in a 35%/55%/10% ratios on foods. 35%-carbs, 55% protein, 10% fats.   I will be consuming slow absorbing carbs (value carbs) that are low on the glycemic index. Carbs like oatmeal, all wheat breads, broccoli, bananas, green beans, etc. My fast absorbing carbs will be consumed directly after weight resistance training.   Since we all know protein is the key to building and gaining lean muscle. I will consume lean protein meats such as turkey, chicken breasts, tuna and eggwhites. They will be low in sat fats and low to no trans fats.   Supplements are extremely important in this process (I read alot). I will be taking additional supplements which I know I will force down b/c i feel im taking in waaay too much now but...here goes:   Whey Protein Phosphagen L-Glutamine Multivitamin Creatine Lipo6 - fat burner   Before & After I will post a before picture (current photo) and an after picture in 4 months which will be current at that time.   Anyone wanting to participate with me on this, we can compare, research, share and take notes.

Belly Comparison

Here is a picture of my belly before the tuck and a picture after. Notice how close my new button is underneath my tattoo and how far it was before the surgery. I had quite alot of skin removed.

Tummy Tuck

I had a Tummy Tuck with Lipo on 10/09/06 here in Tijuana with Dr. Romero. What a fantastic surgeon. I will go into depth a bit more once I am off of medication. The doc removed a bit over 4 kilos totaling 9lbs and 3lbs of fat sucked out. 12lbs total. I walk hunched over but I'm doing very well. Will report back with pictures.

Tattoo

Yesterday I decided I wanted a tattoo to kind of cover my diaphram scar. It's color has been bothering me. My skin, pale around my belly and my scar was very dark.   I wanted something significant and relevant to why the scar was there. The scar meant "change". The Scar represents the Changes I wanted in me. I wanted to lose the weight, become more active, live longer, look better. It's the Scar of Change and thats what the Japanese Symbols mean.
