lurker coming out to say I have followed your prep and loved it! congrats to you!

I am working on this - a structured off season diet plan and I will work with my coach this time! I obviously need to be accountable to more then myself because that has been proven NOT to work!

WOW!!! Good luck - you look amazing!!!!!!

I will be competing in two weeks and then I MUST have a dedicated off season diet plan. I am either on or off my diet and when I am "off" it isn't pretty. I don't suffer from post competition...

1100 - 1500. 9wks out

I would just love to learn to stay leaner year round, period - without having to have the goal of competing. No more up and down and up and down in weight. I think that is really what I...

I am fine at work as well. I pack and bring all my measured meals. My problem comes when I am home alone - the binge monster comes out to play and it seems to be all or nothing. I am either on a...

Tammy how much post comp "free eating" do you allow yourself? This is where I always struggle because one free meal leads to two to four to six........you get the idea:confused:

lololol
Are we related????

Simply amazing Tammy! You are such an inspiration! Best of luck!

I'm not a vegan but there are some good Vegan protein supplements. Sequel makes a great line called Vega which has a plant based all natural organic wheat free, gluten free and dairy free protein...

Did it daily for weeks before my last competition! Found an amazing Brownie bottom Reece's peanut butter cup cheesecake receipe! It weighed about 10lbs when I made it!

I agree with the earlier post that it depends on how secure you are with yourself and your own self confidence. Lack of self confidence regardless of age will make any woman or man for that matter...

It's NEVER in the house when I prep. My next door neighbor babysits my stash - so far, I haven't broken into his house so it's safe there lol!

Top Sirloin

gardening, rollerblading (not well :)) reading thrillers or horror novels when I get a chance. Seems like I really don't have a lot of hobbies other then bodybuilding now that I actually think about...

ditto!

Fantastic article!

I'm confused. She won her pro card in Bikini and is allowed to compete as a figure pro? Or is she going after her figure pro card now?

Wow! You look amazing!

congrats!

Thanks for all the input! I have received some really good tips from everyone here. Hopefully I will grow some shoulders (along with everything else) Time + Effort=muscles :)

Thanks, I am going to continue with my program with a few tweaks added from the advice I've received. I love powerlifting style programs but I think I may increase my reps a bit...........I just...

Thanks Tammy. I have looked at fst 7 - it looks tough but I am willing to try anything to add some size. I am tiny on stage:(

WoW!

Thanks for the advice!

I have done wted dips in the past but as for wted pullups I struggle to get 10 with my own BW but I am working on it! I'm all for getting some guns!

I follow your journal quite closely Suzanne so I know how much you have grown and I do use some of your workouts when I am training! (hope ya don't mind :) )

thanks I am going to take a close look at this! I need DELTS!

I usually spend 6 or 7weeks on a 5x5 program and take a week off and then head into split training 5x/week for prep.

thanks so much Suzanne! Wow - 100 reps! What would you recommend for Delts - they are my weakest area?

I have been trying to add some much need muscle to my frame for BB and it has been a slow process. I love doing 5x5 style programs off season for 6wks before starting split training and have made up...

I hate baking and I did this during my last prep but none of it was healthy. My mom and I baked all afternoon one day and everything had peanut butter as the main ingredient! I had collected about...

I agtree with GX WTF?
Nice.....that's alittle prejudice don't you think?

Wow! Awesome shoulders! Good luck!

MMmmmmm peanut butter.............

I am far more scrutinized by coworkers etc for my healthy eating/lifestyle then the person sitting beside me eating the takout fast food or the one heading out for her smoke.............it is an...

Did he say why they decided not to include FBB? I emailed the promoter for some info repeatedly and he didn't respond. Guess we don't rate......

lolol

Have you been taking the laxatives (colon cleanse etc) continually since your last show? Your bowel will get "lazy" if you have been using something to help you go on a regular basis.

lol, really??!! I can just picture that......."ok, can you bend forward alittle so we can get your cheek smiles"

It doesn't include FBB

this is me to a "T" I love watching my hubby eat fatting foods when I am prepping. He gets mad because I will make him these huge sunday's and decadant desserts and he ends up gaining wt while I...

Essential Fatty Acids. (fish oil caps, evening primrose etc) I tend to get off track when I add fats into my diet in the form of peanut butter, nuts, oils, etc so I find taking my fats in capsule...

That's what gets me every time! I can't include them in my cutting diet at all because I tend to "overindulge" in them to put it mildly! I stick to EFA capsules because so far I haven't binged on...
