I want to compete in a figure competition but in order to do that, I need to drop body fat and build more muscle. I'm so overwhelmed with information that is out there. I considered getting a coach to help me through it but they cost like a 1k just to get in shape and their competition packages is another 1k. Hubby said I should drop body fat and tone up first before thinking about preparing for a competition and he is right. I have been looking at this model's page on bodybuilding.com. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/lindsay-kaye-cutting-program.html I have been trying to figure out what supplements to get. I have protein powder, BCAA, casein protein powder and jack3d at home. What is the difference between BCAA and Amino Acids? Do I need Amino Acids? http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/sv/xtend.html Do I need a fat burner (thermogenesis)? I really don't like them. they make me jittery. I know that the nutrition is 80% so gotta start eating more cleaner and cut alcohol (i don't really drink in first place, only occasionally). my biggest issue is eating late on week days. i don't eat until 8pm. i go to the gym at 5, then cook dinner then walk the dog at 7 or 7:30pm. i do drink a protein shake after the gym so it fills me up until 8pm. on my non gym days, i wait until 7pm to walk the dog. i eat afterwards. Help!! I want to be a Jamie Eason, Ava Cowan or Jennifer Nicole Lee!!
Good luck Lady_Di, I hope you achieve your goals. In other news, I expect this thread is about to get real creepy.
Well, let's see...I'd say you have about two choices to choose from with this. You can either post pics... ...or you can get the f-ck out.
Thank you! I need a lot of support. It is like doing a marathon. (I have no interest doing them) It already started. Boys always will be boys.
Email me through the board and I'll put you in touch with my fiance'. She is a fitness freak, does Pilates (might be teaching a course soon), Bikram Yoga, works out 3-4 times a week, but rarely with weights, all UFC type work outs. She's 37 and looks like she's 25. I only pull the 12 ounce curls. I have a small beer belly. I enjoy wathcing Tosh.O and IASIP re-runs.
Adazare, I don't know my BMI. Based on the online calculator, it is between 18.5 and 24.9. I will try to get it checked at the gym tomorrow. LF, I am a weight lifting gal. I've never done yoga or pilates. I would assume her body is very lean, no? I think this plan is more what I would like to do. This chick's body is the ideal body I am looking for. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jen-rankin-muscle-building-program.html Some chicks are way too muscular and I don't want to compete in fitness competitions, just bikini figure competitions.
Yes, very lean and toned out. Not muscular really at all as that's not something she's in to. She does have the perfect body for a bikini and I will enjoy this starting Thursday on vacation. Edit- Looking at that link, that's pretty much her physique. We both eat healthy for the most part but she still has the chocolate cravings, she just works it off the next day. She's frickin' anal about keeping fit and keeping her BMI way down but in the healthy range.
If you are looking for good exercise equipment and are interested, my wife and I are selling a Pilates Premier machine for $200 (they sell for about $400 new I believe).
