Video 18 0 00 21-13

Great workout today! Felt really motivated and energetic! Really feeling the contraction on each rep for chest. It really is important to focus more on your breathing and the squeeze – from the bottom of the movement to the top of the movement – you should always feel that squeeze. Don’t let the weight take over.

Really got a super pump today. The no-xplode made me focused and the switch back to high intensity, lower volume really had me lifting some heavy weight wih great enthusiasm! Great back workout.
I love warming up with the pullups, getting a good strength and blood flow – really provides a nice pump and start to the back workout.
Switching the shrugs to barbell shrugs for the next 4 weeks. Heavier!

Wednesday: Shoulders/Cardio

………………………………………………...

I went back to 65lbs on shoulder presses because I really wanted to keep my form strict and really feel the lower portion of the move. I like to rotate the weight during the middle portion of the lift, from palms facing to being away at the top of the movement. Great workout!

    New workout journal 2010"Okay guys. I now have my computer back and I am back stronger than ever to do my second transformation cycle journal! My transformation results last time were fantastic - in my opinion. My weight went up 15lbs and I leaned out for a total of 10lbs of muscle gain. Leaner and bigger! However, I ended up finishing not as well as I would have hoped in the bodyspace spokesmodel contest finals - mostly due to the fact that I took over a year off doing regular modeling and had a lot going on in my life with moving countries. I hadn't worked out for size in over a year. I lost muscle - coming in at 172lbs just this past October, so I was happy going in at 184lbs. The contest was strong and I needed that extra time to compete, so no excuses! Just more fuel to the fire! My motivation is high! However, I was happy to make the top 5 out of thousands of people and it was a great experience. After a few weeks off reflecting and taking my new job, I am coming back with a new transformation journal. I am going to get shredded these next 4-5 weeks and then lean bulk it all the way back to 195lbs and beyond. I will be doing this with the help of Optimum Nutrition - I will be using their protein powders, creatine, no products, multi vitamin, fish oils, and CLA. I will document my progress with each supplement on my transformation blog. Keep updated for the first one - coming next week!
