Go for 2....Let's Do This!

[kgramlich]

It has been a long time since I have been on here, but I haven't strayed from my workouts. Adding one day of leg conditioning plus a second day of heavy legs has been a change that I have needed. I am looking forward to seeing the results when I start cutting. Using the vibration plate in between sets helps me keep my endurance going. I would live to hear from fellow competitors that have gone to the Arnold to compete in the past!

^ you really think the vibration plate makes much of a difference?

To me I'd rather a underwear bike lol

[kgramlich]

Ha! I cannot imagine an underwear bike. I do know that for me, using the vibration plate for push-ups and squats has helped me with my form when doing squats Witt the barbell and regular push-ps/bench press. I struggle with lack of skin tone, resulting in cellulite, and the vibration plate has helped with that as well. It also breaks up my sets and keeps me motivated. I would not recommend it for the sole purpose of doing your whole workout on it, or for weight loss.

Welcome Keep up the great work

Thanks, F.D.! I am really enjoying the change with adding leg conditioning exercises between resistance workouts. I have been spending my day off work today researching clean veggie recipes/soups so I can increase my fibrous easily when the time comes. 16 weeks out! Hotel is booked, now getting ready to book our flight....

Me too!

Ok, I am pretty pumped! I am leaning out, legs are constantly sore, and I get a refeed this weekend! You know u r a competitor when.....��
I have really enjoyed this prep, but a little bummed my regular gym has closed��. New environments have a way of bringing out new motivation, though! I have been adding leg conditioning between chest exercises, and doing tris and bis on the same day. Little changes, but better effects on leaning out my legs�� 12 weeks out����

[kgramlich]

Any tips out there to increase the number of reps I can crank out in my plank walk-outs?

[kgramlich]

A little over 8 weeks out, and feeling lean!! I have enjoyed this prep, especially the conditioning with mountain climbers, plank walks, step-ups, etc, between lifting sets. My shoulder workout yesterday was heavy, but it was the first time it burned in a long time. I usually get that burning closer to competition...

Good luck with your prep

[mpalleyne]

Do your thing girl.... Hoping to be in Arnold myself!! It would be great to meet you.

[IslandGirl]

Glad to hear from you. Not much longer!!!

[kgramlich]

Thanks, girls! Less than 4 weeks away, and I fell great. I crashed hard after morning cardio yesterday, but feelin alright this morn. I am excited to meet as many people there as I can. Still deciding if I am doing my own makeup or not....oh, and did I mention I finally get to shoot with Dan Ray? ....cannot wait! Sneak peek pics soon

[Sunnyday]
