lol, My posing routine is pretty simple. While it’s not just stomping around hitting Most Musculars, it’s by no means dancing. I think it’s more reminiscent of the old 70’s style, sweeping arm transitions into some shots, but also hitting other shots hard, with a ‘pow’ effect. I actually showed it to a friend of mine yesterday who is a big fan of going to shows and following the athletes, and he said it just looked great. Actually asked about my choreography (all me!). Let’s just hope I can hear my music on stage, and don’t lose my place.
I’ve had Frank’s Red Hot before. Great stuff. Back when my brother and I were eating everything we could to put on weight, we’d brown a lb of chopped meat, throw in a dozen eggs, some mozzarella cheese, and dose the entire frying pan in Franks Sauce -lol. I highly recommend this meal to anyone who whines about not being able to put on muscle.
I do realize that the condiments are mostly salt, and figure that as long as I drop them the last week, I should be okay. I’ve already stopped my diet soda and diet iced tea, so it’s just a timing thing. I never actually put ‘salt’ on anything, so the sodium content in the condiments is all I get. I even read online somewhere that someone cuts out their green veggies by Thursday because of the stomach bloat (and I’ve been eating waaaay too many green veggies lately).
The steady state has found it’s place in my routine. Actually, this past week I’ve been doing cardio twice a day. 1st thing in the morning, 30 min steep incline walking on a treadmill (it’s still dark out and I’m just mindlessly moving in a haze), and when I train in the afternoon, if it’s a weight day, I’ll do another 20 min steady state after, otherwise, I do 25 min of intervals after some ab and forearm work.
Because my overall cals have dropped, and I especially want to take advantage of my ‘keto’ days, I’ve been trying to really “dig in” dietwise and cardio wise on those days. In fact, I think eating too much raw broccoli yesterday gave me one hell of a stomach ache, so I won’t be doing that again (at least not several lbs worth). My diet has come to really be centered around eggs lately. They’re just filling, especially if you hard boil them, or add diced broccoli to your omlettes like I do. My food intake yesterday was as follows:
7:20 am - Cup egg whites, 2 whole eggs, 2 slices fat free cheese, raw broccoli
10:15 - Large Canned Turkey Breast with mustard and entire bag o’ lettuce. 1 snack pack of sugar free jello.
12:15 - 6 hard boiled egg whites with mustard + several bowls of raw broccoli (Molly McButter cheese flavor sprinkled all over it!)
2:30 - 1 serving Turkey Pepperoni Slices + 3 slices fat free cheese on top + several bowls of raw broccoli (Molly McButter Cheese again)
6:30 - Cup egg whites, 2 whole eggs, Turkey Pepperoni and Raw Broccoli Omlette. + snack pack sugar free jello
9pm - 2 scoops Metabolic Drive
10:15 - 4 Tbsp Natty PB
TOTALS: 1850 cals, 257g prot, 30g carbs
I’m sitting here eating a bowl of cottage cheese with Banana met drive and Cinnamon on it before I head off to train legs. I already did my steady state about 3 hours ago, and I know I’ll be dragging ass because of it. Still… it’s not about building any new muscle now.
