Just curious how your contest prep is coming along. Are you on track with your goals? How are you feeling?

Seen a couple of your posts lately that mention that you're doing it but not how it's going, figured I'd give you a spot to talk about it.

[MoCo]

12.5 weeks out and I think she's coming along just great :)

I'm honored you asked! :)

Yup, 12.5 weeks out and have dropped from 131 to 123. My strength is down a bit and my workouts feel harder to get through, but besides that I'm OK. I know it's not supposed to be easy :D

I'm trying to dial in my abs and get my quads & hams to pop more, but I have time so I'll begin a regular cardio regime next week.

I'm thinking of incorporating 5mg of Anavar 9-10 weeks out (with one week off, maybe two before show time). One of my coaches wants me to throw in Nolva, Clen, and maybe T3. I'm going to keep it simple and not include those. I want to see how much I can accomplish without a smorgasbord of supplements.

Maybe I'll start throwing up some progress pictures as I go along...

[Jello]

Are you doing figure or fitness?

Dieting down is never fun and it can make the workouts harder but that's what makes the end result so worth it. Keep a log on here if you want and weekly/EOW pics to help log your progress. The pics aren't necessary on this end (not that we wouldn't want to look) but more for you to have a visual of what you are achieving.

Good luck and keep us posted.

[drob29]

........ The pics aren't necessary on this end.......

I dont know.... Jello I am thinking that a few pics would really put things in perspective for us. One area that is always a challenge in the lower back, glutes and hamstring area. certainly a side view pic and rear view pic taken of those areas will help us provide the best advice. Same with chest. One area that some women are really challenged in is the chest area. Again, both front and side pics will provide the best point of reference.

Also, skin composition, definition and tone are critical, so pics that highlight skin tone are helpful as well. Try to show as much skin as possible so that we can really see where your at.

:cool: just trying to help.....drob

[rclifter]

Figure this time around. I'm hoping to get into fitness over the next couple of years.

I will get some pics up too! I wouldn't mind having a few outside perspectives. Either MoCo is being honest with me or he's worried I might get mad at him for telling me how I really look, haha juuuust kidding

I could jump in and say so much at this point....
but i have already been picking on her.
I dont want her to think im a bigger creep than she already thinks I am.:rolleyes:

[rclifter]

I'm down to 121 as of this morning. I could easily afford to lose another 6-7lbs, which is a little disappointing - I thought I was in better shape than I actually am :D

I'm working with a new coach and have a feeling I made the right choice by ditching the other guy.

I'll get some '11 weeks out' pictures up this week.

[superbeast22]

im about your age and am very jealous there arent girls like you at my gym..

11 weeks to loose 7lbs gives you more than enough time. You will have better luck with a coach you can trust.

she ur gf or somethin? if so lucky u

I am happy with my weight loss so far. It's been very consistent. My new coach upped my carbs and overall calories which are making me feel better. I was on less than 100g of carbs, courtesy of the old coach...I know I'm not an expert but he didn't seem to know what he was doing. His goal was to get me down to 1300 cals 3 weeks out :confused:

she ur gf or somethin? if so lucky u

Yeah, he's my sugah daddy

[superbeast22]

where i live it seems most of the girls dont care about fitness... its disgusting, they wanna lose weight, they do some ice. a girl asked my gf what she was doing to lose weight and she was like oh im eating really good and workout out a lot, and shes like, "no... what are you DOING?"

congrats on finding a girl that cares about herself man, and good job rclifter

Haha, I hear ya. I'm wondering how competative my show is going to be. I was looking at pictures from past years and a lot of the girls don't look that great. I'm not saying I'm going to win (I just tell myself I'm going to - purely for motivational purposes :D), but I hope I go up against some real competition. Placing 1st against a group of women with hoards on stomach fat won't be as rewarding, but we shall see what happens.

[Jello]

A wins a win but it feels much better when you actually have to earn it.

[mrvtwin80]

Good Luck on your contest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kaju]

Yeah, he's my sugah daddy[/QUOTE]

that cracks me up. LOL

Good luck! Ive been following your thread. I hope the best for you.

[rclifter]

I just saw these replies! You guys are great. I really appreciate all of the support. Is it weird that I think of you all as my extended family? :D

[Jello]

No, I think that's normal with these boards.

[rclifter]

Had to take some update pictures for my coach...here's one of them in my practice suit. Don't laugh :o

Why would we laugh I think you look fantastic and I also think the suit looks great too!! You'll reach your goal in time especially with your new coach. Keep us posted, can't wait to see the pictures before the show! Good luck once again!

[Mikillium]

Dang it girl. I believe u could take it right now without even seeing the comp! Lol, looks like you've been puttin your time in. All that hard work will pay off! Were behind you all the way:) Kick there asses!

[dudcki27]

Looking real good. Looks like you put a lot of work into your legs. How are your calves looking? You should do real good in your show. Keep it up.

[Invrt]

This might sound strange but your skin tone looks awesome. You should look great by the time the contest rolls around. Abs should start popping soon.

[drob29]

VERY NICE:cool:

[Billsale2000]

Wow you look amazing.

[superbeast22]

you look great... shame when girls are that lean they dont have any boobs :( u should get like 400-500cc implants.. give u a nice C

[rclifter]

Thanks everyone :D

I've thought about it but the downtime is what is turning me off to the idea. I don't think I could deal with not being able to go to the gym :) we'll see though.

[drob29]

Thanks everyone :D

the downtime isnt that bad from what ive heard, my gf went to see a doc about getting implants and the downtime is 2 weeks from what he said

Bump~~ Much respect for a woman who knows how to take care of herself. Very nice build rc and best of luck with your show!

[rclifter]

As much as I would love to get them (maybe even a little more so now, with a downtime of only two weeks), it's not really an investment I want to make right now. I'd rather save up for a down payment on a house so MoCo and I can get out of this tiny apartment :D

It's unfair that heavy set ladies have no trouble in the boob department. I think it should be in the reverse - the leaner I become, the bigger my boobs get, so as to make a fit woman much more "well rounded" :)

Anyway, you all are awesome. I appreciate the support!

step 1 - get boobs
step 2 - get job as a waiter
step 3 - get huge tits for wearing low cut tops that show a lot
step 4 - pull 400$ a night in tips
step 5 - buy house outright with cash (crumpled up ones and such)
step 6 - thank superbeast22 by giving him a % of what you make

[rclifter]

Now why didn't I think of that...

[superbeast22]

seriously though, youd be suprised.... this girl i know works at a resuraunt, and when she needs more $, she stuffs the crap outa her bra and bammo, WAY more money...

her co workers make fun of her, and so do her regulars..

Things are going well. Thanks for checking in on me :D The diet is starting to get to me - I've been really tired. Other than that, I'm 4 weeks out! I feel like I should be more dialed in at this point, but my coach says I'm right on point and that I'm holding some water. I have to take more pictures tomorrow so I'll put them up here too.

Btw kaju, want to send me up some Louisiana hot sauce?? ;)

[kaju]

looken forward to the pics

[Mikillium]

I agree, were enjoyin your progress as much as u and moco are! Thanks for keepin us posted, were all pullin for ya!

Awesome thread!! I don't know how I missed it. I wish I was on more often. Good luck. You look great!

Make sure and post some contest pics. You usually look the best the very next morning. Take pictures!!:cool:

Well how'd it go ?????

Curious as well the suspense is killing me.

[Dimes]

Looks like we are all patiently awaiting.:D

[MoCo]

Well I'll give you guys the update since she hasn't had the chance to get on and report back.

4th place in Open Figure Short, up to 5'4"

It was a tough class and a pretty big one (15 competitors) but she was awesome. She looked great and I'm incredibly proud of her. We're still waiting on the pictures and will post some up once we get them.

That is such GREAT news! Congrats to her!:)

[rclifter]

Feeling pretty solid today...OJS is right - I was so much harder today. I noticed I began filling out more once prejudging was over and after I had my steak/potatoes and more rice cakes. It was a great first show though! My really good friend ended up winning first place in my class and she definitely deserved it.

Thanks everyone for all of your support :D

[ojs]

Congrats!!!

....., Oh, ...and when do we get to see the real pictures? I know you didn't compete in that top and those sweats!!!:cool:

Wow, looking hot!

[dudcki27]

Come on man that's not even a funny joke. She took 4th out of 15 in her first show. Pretty fucking good IMO. Great job rc.

[Jello]

LOL

Smart ass:D

RC you look good and not too shabby getting 4th in your first show.

[Dimes]

She took 4th out of 15 in her first show. Pretty fucking good IMO. Great job rc.

I agree very much so! Please understand my humor.

I think she looks incredible just like that and was humoring ojs and hopefully her too. She's dedicated as hell.

Edit:I actually meant it as a complement as well. I just thought that was implied.

[Dimes]

RC you look good and not too shabby getting 4th in your first show.

You have to give credit to anyone that steps up there. Her placing is more than exceptional given the number of competitors and level of competition. There's always the politics/subjective factors but she did very well.

[buff86]

Looking Amazing!! You did great and I aplaud you for your dedication and good spirits. Id be happy to place at all in a competition, as long as it werent last place. lol! One of my cousins is competing in miss teen illinois next week, i hope she gets it too! Just thought Id throw that out there.

Haha, I thought that was funny actually. I didn't get a chance to reply when I read it, but I was going to say that I think I missed the memo about needing to wear a posing suit :D

I'm waiting for the show pictures to be posted - I'll make sure to add them up here!

I am happy with my placing. I understand that the judging criteria can fluctuate among shows and promoters. My coach didn't want to bring me in too lean on purpose. We talked afterward and we came to an agreement that next time around we are going to bring me in a little leaner and drier. I'm pretty sure I would've placed higher if I had done that, but how we either of us supposed to know :)

I appreciate the positive feedback from everyone. I had my pig out day yesterday and ate a little dried fruit and some PB cups today but I'm ready to get back into the gym and keep my diet solid!

I'm looking to get another cycle rolling around February or March :cool:

[motomatt]

Why would we laugh I think you look fantastic and I also think the suit looks great too!! You'll reach your goal in time especially with your new coach. Keep us posted, can't wait to see the pictures before the show! Good luck once again!


Bump...! :D
