Suzanne~Time to get FREAKY shredded!

[Suzanne]

After a very long off season (since Nov 2007) Sunday begins prep for Jr Nationals!!! I am so excited. I had a very productive off season gaining muscle and fixing my metabolism. I can't wait to see what i uncover!!!

I work with Jeremy Minihan, Size and Shape Fitness, in Oklahoma City. I lvie in NW Chicago Suburb so i fly down there a few times a year to get my ass kicked! I was there a few weeks ago and just booked my flight to go April 2-9 While there i stay with the beautiful IFBB Pro Sherry Smith and she has a stepmill at home whihc makes cardio really easy while i am there.

Jeremy and I have our work cut out for us. I am about 34lbs form making weight and 4lbs heavier then the Nov pics on the right of comparisons. I have never lost anywhere close to that much during a prep. We are going for FREAKY shredded with striated glutes with deep lines.

Here are some progress comparisons during the off season March 2008 vs Nov 2008 wt 145

Hey MG....Suzanne has taken posing lessons from Jennifer Abrams a couple of years ago.

Suzanne, MG65 and I both trained under Jen. MG65 went on to compete as a member of her team at one of Kevin Noble's shows.

lol NO! :eek:

Tomorrow will be last cheat We are going for Mexican yum! Then not sure for dessert either cheesecakefactory or i should probably have COLDSTONE!

[GirlyMuscle]

Coldstone's in the shit!

Will you have cheat meals this far out? What kind of dieting philosophies does Jeremy use for you?

[Suzanne]

Coldstone's in the shit!

Will you have cheat meals this far out? What kind of dieting philosophies does Jeremy use for you?

I LOVE coldstone for super bowl i got 2 pb cup perfection and oreo overload :D

This will be my last cheat meal. My off season has been about 3000 cals with weekly cheat meal. It did take along itm eto get there prior trainer has f-ed up metabolism with that trainer back in 06 before Jeremy my off season was 1350 cals :mad:

It nutrition is very individualized. I did have 1 cheat 8 weeks out and a refeed 4 weeks out with Jr Nats as i was ahead and gonna do figure at the time of the 8 week out cheat. For nationals i got neither.

He is more along the line of carbs and carb cycling. We are looking at refeeds this time not sure what they will be yet whether all carb or some carbs and fats.

Wed
Cardio

delts/hammies
felt great all day love the Vyper but when doing workout strength was down booooo I am sure form low day yesterday

[Suzanne]

At home cardio
I must saying buying a stepmill has got the be one of the best purchases we have ever made. I wake up when i wake up (although this is between 5:30 and 6:00) I can get up and actually wake up for a bit before doing cardio, drink some caffeine. You can never forget your iPod. Breakfast is right they when you are done. Don't have to put contacts in. Don't have to get dressed to go to gym then change into workout clothes then change again to go home. Not on Chase's sched like when we used to go in the AM we had to be at the gym at 5AM so he could be at work on time. Now he does cardio then i do cardio.

[GirlyMuscle]

I have a treadmill and an elliptical for that reason. Of course, the treadmill is doing me no good out in the shed. I need to get my brother to help me move it into the house before my comp prep starts.

Yesterday was like damn walking lunges wiht 60s are hard lets do smith lunges instead. but even so without the level of drive i like i did do 6 plates+20 for 8 on each side of the hammer strength single leg leg press and the week before i could not do 7 plates and hadn't started diet yet
I love the hammer iso-lateral leg press i do one leg at a time

[Suzanne]

so far this prep is going really well! much better than i thought it would.

Thur
cardio

bis/pecs

starving! i am so hungry on my high carbs days!! J said i m really burning through them. I am not very hungry on my lower days but it isn't like i have a bunch of fat to keep me full just some flank at 2 meals. It's weird i am a freak, my weight goes up slightly or down just a 1/10th lb after the low day but after the high day goes down .5-1.5 I am 2 high 1 lower right now. Jeremy said the best plan for my body is not to assume anything cuz my body does whatever it wants and he will just be ready to change things depending on what my body does.

[Suzanne]

Hi Suzanne:)!

Flight home :banghead:
My flight was at 5:00pm I arrived at airport at 3:30. At 4:45 we board and taxied out and drove around and around and around. Then pilot announced the winds were too high to take off so we were gonna turn off engines and wait a bit to see if die down Well at 7:00pm we went back to gate and deboarded. We had no idea if flight would be canceled completely or not. I had enough meals to make it til 7:30 (i was supposed to land at home at 7:00) So i called Jeremy and he told me which place to try to get grilled chicken so i did that (unless a situation like this restaurant food is of limits) We continued to wait as they kept setting the departure time later and later. Finally at 8:45 boarded again and began to taxi then pilot announced that because of winds north of us they were changing the flight path and they had to make sure we had enough gas to fly that route :eek: Well we FINALLY got off the ground and i got to chicago about 11PM and finally home close to midnight. I should have learned form my other flight ordeal to have at least 3 meals more than i think i will need!!!!!

Chase was with me so i took the opportunity to try db press the 60s!!!
40X15, 50x12, 60x8!!!!!!!!! he only helped on last 2

i think i look tighter today after refeed!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Suzanne]

I am so happy with the way this prep has been going. There have been no changes to the diet since i started 6.5 weeks ago and i have had two refeeds. I am progressing at a rate that has NEVER happened; I have lost more in the last 6.5 weeks then i have in all the other preps the entire 12 weeks! I feel great!!! Sure i have had some tired days and some days where i wasn't quite feeling it in the gym but hell i have those offseason. I am hungry but i welcome it that it means my metabolism is still burning through all the food!!

I can't thank Jeremy enough for having me take last year off. We got my metabolism working got my caloric intake way up and my cardio way down. And going through the hard time from jan-june last year trying to find out why my body was not responding gave me time to really think about why I do this. I no longer WO and eat clean because i am afraid i will gain weight. I do it because i am a bodybuilder. I am over the scale causing me stress. I can now not be bothered when the number goes up It is just a tool that helps determine how my body is responding. I look way better now at 136lbs then i did at 125 when i had less muscle. I LOVE what i do! I think going into prep with this outlook has made a world of difference. I don't dread the cardio. It is part of the tools that will get me freaky shredded. I have had zero issues with the diet (even though i was worried after 15 months of huge weekly cheats and much more fun food that it would be hard) I am really enjoying and experiencing this prep. I know harder days are coming and i welcome the challenge.

I will bring the best me physically and mentally to stage this year!!!

[bndniron4evrgal]

i think i look tighter today after refeed!!!!!!!!!!!!

He said 7 days and he left on Sunday so Sat or Sun????

Suzanne..I did hammies today too. Do you think there's much of a difference as far as the placement of exercises? I typically do SLDLs first and curls after. Do you think it makes a difference?

no prob not i usually vary my WO i am not one to go and do same thing week after week in same order. I usually don't do sldl first I want to be able to get a really tight full contraction on the curls. I kinda find hammies boring :o but one of the parts Jeremy says i need to improve so i am hitting twice a week right now.

Looking great girl! I am getting so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks excited too!

Been a busy week my friend Christine's Godfather is in town for Christine's 18th birthday which was thursday. I was pretty tired mon-wed got to bed way to late between cleaning and airport etc. He got her a wii the bolwing is lots of fun and the game drives the dog crazy and they try to bite you and the controller. Firday nite we went to Melting Pot for family BDay dinner. they had cheese fondue and 2 diff choc fondues; i brought my chick green beans and rice. Saturday was her party it was laser tag we had alot of fun and they had pizzanand ice cream cupcakes form coldstone. My firend is also living of of my fav chicago deep dish pizza while he is here.

Saturday morning we went to the Sieger Show which is a german dog show for German Shepherds there is the ring portion which evaluates how closely the dogs meets the standards of the breed and then the PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION TEST

All dogs of the Working Dog Classes must participate in the Sieger Show Performance Test. There will be two (2) helpers; one for the “attack on handler” and one for the "pursuit and courage test".

The dog has three (3) tries to perform the free heeling exercise to the attack on handler and must reach a predetermined distance from the blind (20 feet) to pass. The actual attack will commence when the dog is between 10 to 15 feet from the blind. The distance from the starting point of heeling to the blind will be 60 feet.

The judge will evaluate the gripwork as it is described in USA’s Schutzhund Rule Book, “The dog should counter the attack securely and energetically in stopping the attack by the helper.” A lack of self-confidence in the gripwork shall be evaluated as “sufficient” in courage.

The "out" should show the dog clearly off the sleeve and in the guarding phase. The only command permitted is one word for the out such as: out, aus, or any other single command of out. The commands of sit or down to affect the out are not permitted here. The dog, however, may sit, down or stand upon the out command, but may not bother the helper. The sit or down may be reinforced at a distance of 10 (ten) feet, if necessary as the handler approaches the dog

Workouts have been going really good. Changed my split.

Less than 8 weeks!!! This prep has been pretty stress free and i am just enjoying the ride. For the first 57 days diet, cardio, training has been 100%. Even tho i still have 20+ lbs to make weight i am not stressing; how would it help? it wouldn't. I am just gonna listen to Jeremy give it my all and that is the best i can. I know i will be my very best at this show. It is so nice to just let go and not think just do everything with all i got and enjoy it.

[RealLilSwole]

Your avitar pic is very pretty.

[Suzanne]

Thank you!!!

Thank you seriously for this post - I lurk in here consitently and have leg envy (thats where I carry my weight in my legs) - yours are awesome!!! I'm sitting less then 6 out, I know I'm behind and I need to lose @ least 12 so comprable numbers and your centered thoughtful comment rang so true and meaningful to me. I think I will adopt it as a mantra :bowdown:

Just know with that attitude you have already won and will only get fantastic from here!

It is amazing the diff i feel just letting go and not stressing about prep. It even makes cardio (which i detest) better.

Talked to Jeremy last nite made a few changes and he says want me just "stupid shredded"
He says my body does very well with carbs

back/bis had pretty good WO for having a headache. I am thinking it might be the weather we go from 40 to 80/humid then 50 then 70 rain no rain. Woke up stuffed up either sinusy/allergy

[figurebre]

That is a great attitude to have, to let Jeremy take over and not stress.
I have a difficult time with that myself :) I always like to try and figure shit out, but I still obey. :)
Enjoying the process makes a world of difference, doesn't it? the best feeling doesnt come from winning, it comes from knowing that you gave it your ALL. That there was nothing you could have done better or different, that you couldnt have pushed any harder if you tried.
I like the 'Tude dude!

Thanks!! only got 7 weeks to get FREAKY SHREDDED!

My body seems to be processing carbs really well. As an overanalytical person i was weighing everyday just to see how my body reacted to certain things and a pattern came up. I was doing 2 high carb days and 1 lower carb and my weight would go up after the lower days and down after the higher days. So we got rid of the lower days and i have all high days and we dropped protein a bit and i am down 2.9 this week. :) and i am starving even more just burning through the food. I love having a trainer that actually responds to how MY body is reacting not what "should" be done at a certain time in prep (most trainers would have dropped carbs lower to get results) or what he does with another client.

7 weeks to go! Still feeling good and enjoying the process :awesome:

These pics are with a diff camera.

[Suzanne]

Fri got a 90 minute massage which was much needed but still not long enough!

this weekend the Long Grove chocolate festival is going on right up the road I think we should go buy some fudge and freeze it :D

I am more starving now that I am all high days which is good love my carbs!!!

Here are some funny pics all 7 weeks out

Wow, Suzanne, you've really put on some muscle. Think you'll always want to stay lightweight?

[Suzanne]

Wow, Suzanne, you've really put on some muscle. Think you'll always want to stay lightweight?

Thanks!!

I think to balance my legs I need more upper body which would put me middle weight but want Jeremy's thoughts.

Hell I think it is gonna be tough making LW this time! :eek:

[GirlyMuscle]

I think so too. Not because you can't get the fat off but because you've put on so much muscle in the last two years. It would be a shame to lose muscle just to hit lightweights.

[MsGuns]

keep it up gurl!

[musclegoddess65]

Damn girl you look GREAT! I want your legs..... fuck they are awesome and you are 7 weeks out.

I took pics yesterday and I am so f'n depressed by them its disgusting... upper body I'm very pleased with... legs and ass... UGH!

[Suzanne]

I did have room to be tighter at Nationals and since we are going for just "stupid shredded" I may make lightweights


keep it up gurl!

:wavey:

Thanks! My legs always have definition even when i am off season beyond where i like to be. I hold it ALL in my midsection. I will be lucky to get abs the day of the show :eek:

Today I did my stepmilling sporting my new weight vest :) had it at 16lbs it goes to 40lbs less than 7 weeks to go time to kick it up a notch!!!

[musclegoddess65]

WOW you have a stepmill at home!! SWEET...

Ok lets do some day of show body part exchange/borrowing... I will let you borrow some abs/midsection, if you will let me borrow some legs!

seriously you are looking great girl...

Yep it was our Christmas present to ourselves :D Ebay

It makes life so much easier for me. Since i have to walk to the gym AM cardios weren't a whole lotta fun either i would go with Chase at 5AM so he could be at work or if he was out of town i would have to walk over at 5am. From 6:30-about 8:00 the street is too busy for me to get across. And walking over at 5AM in the middle of winter is not so much fun.

Chase has been traveling at least 2 weeks every month so having it at home is a God send. Plus i now do cadio at 7 or 7:30

[Suzanne]

I am almost too sane no stressing at all this prep
did someone put prozac in the water? :lmao:

diet going easy
cardio surprisingly tolerable
going by FAST!
45 days to go will be here before i know it
last 2 weeks will be easy June 8-13 will be in okc training/posing with Jeremy and last week always flies by
week before i go to okc will bake: oreo fudge, jumbo triple chip cookie..

[musclegoddess65]

[Darkhrse99]

Your looking great!

How long are your cardio sessions?

[Suzanne]

Your looking great!

How long are your cardio sessions?

thank you!

I am doing twice a days in all my preps I have ended up with 2 hrs (60 min and 60 min). Part of the amount i do is for conditioning of muscle not just fatloss. I also am getting a lot of food and carbs :D

[figurebre]

So whats the plan for Jrs? What days willI be rooming alone?

[Suzanne]

Yesterday I had a "Whoa when the ell did that happen" moment at the gym. I have decided they have great liking and magic mirrors!! I was posing between sets and could not believe how tight i was all of a sudden. I was actually impressed with how i looked. Now where do i buy those mirrors??

been stepmilling with wt vest at 16 lbs may try 20lbs next week
wt still dropping after the diet change

[Suzanne]

tonight is brow wax and hair cut/color. I wish i could just sleep thru it i get so bored getting my hair done seems like i am sitting there for hours.

taking the boys to the vet. krieger has an ear infection and due for rabie and both boys getting their nails trimmed.

[GirlyMuscle]

How often do you weigh youself, Suzanne?

[Suzanne]

How often do you weigh youself, Suzanne?


every day mostly for research by doing that we discovered that my body responds better to carbs. i was going down after high carb days and up after low carb days. So we changed my diet based on that got rid of low carbs days and i dropped over almost 4 lbs in the week and a half after the change

[GirlyMuscle]

Wow....I'm the opposite. With carbs my weight kept climbing. Take out the carbs...down down down.

[musclegoddess65]

I find it fascinating how different things cause different reactions in all of us...

can't wait till I see you ladies rockin' the stage at Jr Nationals

[Suzanne]

Finals 6 weeks from tonight!
This week i have been pretty tired i think cuz pms-y Today I took a nap after cardio and meal 1 lol

[RealLilSwole]

Mmmmmmmmm.......BBQ! Me love some!!!!! LOL!! Looking good Suz!!!!

[musclegoddess65]

Saturday i did AM cardio ate meal 1 then sat on couch to watch some tv with Chase and fell asleep and was just DEAD it was all i could do to get up and eat next meal shower eat and drag tired ass to the gym!!! I am hoping that the tired was just part of pms crap

[RealLilSwole]

That was an awesome gift! I got a cute black dress and a Guess Handbag that I have had my eye on for a while! LOL! YOu wil have to let me know where the best place to get some stuffed pizza after the show will be. Hell, maybe we can all go out for food afterward.

[tammyp]

Talked to Jeremy yesterday. He is happy with progress getting tighter altho scale isn't budging much. I am not worried I already know i will look better than my last show. He says huge improvements comparing the two diff 6 week out pics.

[musclegoddess65]

didn't realize there was a Malnati's over that way... I agree much better! Love the Lou Pizza!!!

[Suzanne]

HI suzanne! I have been meaning to leave ya a "you go girl!!!" note here....I have followed along(I do my reading while doing cardio)it is so fun to see you be so excited about your progress and show...you look awesome and I can wait to see the final package!! your posing is great! one thing I would suggest is to put your arms down for front relaxed shot(I did this back in the day! hehe) also I would pull back a little further for your side chest shot! hang in there ! you are almost there!:D

[RealLilSwole]

I am gonna have to agree with the others. I think you are going to be a SOLID middleweight!! Which in my opinion, is a compliment. I would like to step up myself, but I got some growing to do! LOL!

Prejudging 4 weeks from today! on the one hand that seems so so close yet it is 1/3 of a regular prep. It will go by FAST! Next week will be regular week, then a week of baking, then a week in OKC then the final week! And during that time on June 7th is Christine's high school graduation.
