I will update the training so far:
Same idea as above except at 4 sets of 10 now.  Had moved up to 4x8 on week 2, and now on week 3 at 4x10 with same weight as used in my 4x8 which is up about 5-10 lbs from the above.
Aprils plan is for the bulking challenge, as below:

-am going for 3-4 thousand cals per day on a 7-9 meal per day program, strict but allowing for my decaf coffee (bad cuz I use whole milk, like a cup worth), diet pop and occasional cheat.

I will base the diet on the separation style eating:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_Separation_Diet

I will eat fish and dairy as my proteins, something to the effect of:
6am protein drink with greens, Udos, creatine and glutamine - 5gm each.
9am cereal and soy milk (natures path optimum or something of the like) or oatmeal with water - decaf coffee and milk
11am one of the protein choices below maybe some raw plain almonds
1pm quinoa or sweet potato, about a cup or so, bean or pakora curry and yogurt, maybe some padadam or yogurt and fruit
3pm a protein choice
5pm similar carb as 1pm
7pm protein choice
9pm It is a bit late here for carbs but I would choose a less starchy one such as a cup of yogurt (no fat plain of course) or a mana bread slice or 2, toasted and topped with a tsp no sugar jam for both slice.
11pm I may be asleep at this point so maybe I may set alarm to down a shake or may have it a bit earlier like 10pm.

In shakes, I would use the creatine in the one which falls after my workout or in my first shake of the day if I train early, which is most likely. I load for 5 days so I would take creatine 2 of the shakes preferably pre and post workout, or I can down it with water on its own if the food and timing is not right for it to be in a shake.
Water goal is 3 liter per day, no less than 2.

Protein choices:
40 gm protein powder (low fat /carb) 8 oz water, 2 tbs Udos, 3 tsp greens or
a cup of dry cottage cheese with a cup of chopped raw bro /a cup of spinach or tuna tataki and miso or
2 zoglos chicken patties with a cup of greens / green beans or
a can of tuna packed in water, rinsed, atop 2 cups greens with a lemon/grainy mustard or balsamic and Udos vinaigrette.
I may also have fresh fish (about 6 oz) once per week with 2 cup greens (green beans, asparagus) measured cooked of course which is the case for most of my diet.

I am also going to be testing some NO Limits so I will take that according to directions.

My workout will be to try out the HST program.

Well, things were strumming along but I suffered a tragedy on Wed March 28th, one of my dogs, Mini, was killed by a car. Smile Training and eating stopped.
Mon and Tues before that and Wed up to the accident, I was doing well with my bulking diet at 4000 per day eating every 2 hours, 9 meals per day - upper limit.
I was on the 4x10 of the above program with same general loads. I am now finishing those last days and will be on the 4x12 at same loads. Still doing the plyos once per week and HIT HIIT for cardio. I was doing HIT ascending style but now I am doing it HIIT style for example, walking fast on tread at 4.0mph on flat incline for a minute then run 8mph for 30 secs.

Here are the diets for Mon and Tues March 26 and 27,07.
6:30 am protein powder, 8 oz water, 5 gm glut n creat.
Usana, 15gm greens - Usana 3 times, once here.
10am a cup of Natures Path Optimum with 1/2 cup no fat soy milk and a cup of grapes.
11:30am protein drink with 8 oz water, glute n creat 5 gm per
1:30pm 1 cup brocolli, 2 tbs no fat plain yog. 2 cup cooked linguine and 1/4 cup alfredo sauce. Can of Diet Dr. pepper. mandarin.

8pm 1/2 smokey almonds and can of diet dr. pepper
9pm protein shake, just protein powder and 8 oz water.


6:30 am protein powder, 8 oz water, 5 gm glut n creat. 2 tbs Udos

3pm 2 celery stalks and 1/2 pk yves mock chicken strips stir fry with a tbs olive oil. 1/4 cup roasted almonds.
4pm coffee like 9am and peanutbutter oat bar with chocolate on top.
6:30pm can of tuna, 2 cup lettuce, 2tbs feta, 2 tbs Udos, balsamic, 1/4 cup olives.
fell asleep and missed 8pm yogurt.
11pm protein drink like 11:30am.

I am having a really hard time getting back into things but I have to. I have to take some video of my bulking program and such, measurements and am testing NO limits for Designer Supps. once it arrives plus I still have Diva and Coco, my other 2 dogs that I have to take out and feed etc so although I rather go die under the covers in my bed.........I have to keep going. I have had some great support though through my forums and online buds.
Thanks to you all.
Linda

Some of the above weights were at home, but week 2 and 3 were mainly in gym so things like squats were done with 175-185lb on rack with bar, deads were 185, bar curls 60lb....I will log Week 3 again for accuracy.

I was off for a few days after Mini was killed and am still really messed up:( .

I got back on bulk diet Monday and trained the last few days of my programs week 3 but am going to scrap wk 4 which was 4x12.

I just don't have the gumption right now. User Posted Image I will post diet and the last week of 4x10 I did, sometime soon, again just trying to get motivated again. Also need new measurements and such for BB.com. Will be shooting some footage soon.

I want to try more HIT and HIIT type training so if you have some of that stuff post away although I have found lots of info on all these I always like to see what others have done and how it worked for them.;)

I decided to try some other programs like Max OT last year and since I have been programming for myself for over 10 years and I got great results but thought it a neat idea to try some of these other programs so that I have some experience and knowledge about them right?? Also to not have to overthink especially now with Minis death. So I may try the HST program which coincides with my bulking goals.

I want to start back with some casual kickboxing with the heavy bag for some cardio as well.

I did get plyos in weekly for the last month except week 4 and that went well. Need to get on skills now and start working with tricks again, remind my body how to do aerials and clean walkovers, handstand split helicopters and my leaps, holds and pushups.

Have to design my Fitness routine very very soon as well.

Wow, your diet is very low in carbs. How do you manage to workout intensely 6 days a week, with such such a diet so low in carbs? I wouldn't be able to do it all all.

you think?  I have 4 carb meals in my 9 meal a day diet for when bulking, all the veggies, yogurt, indian food, oats, beans, breads, fruits, cereal, soy milk or the milk in my coffee, they are all dominat carbs........I guess that explains my year round 6 pack and keeping under 18% BF, but I have no issue with energy for the most part.
Sheesh, you should see me on contest lean diet and what training and stuff I have to do at that stage, you would really freak out seeing that!

I have less than 12% body fat, and my ab's don't show, ahh! I have done ab exercises but I can't really notice them, but maybe because it's only being since the last 2-3 months that I started. However I can see it if I lean down and tense my ab's, but they look like 4 pack's, the top 2 are missing, lol.

I will post diet and training later today or tomorrow since I am eating until AFTER I go to bedSmile!
I did try No Limits today, 6 caps about 30-45 mins pre workout, started with weights but today I only did a set of 6 barbell exercises to get some figures for my bodyspace max's followed  by 20 mins on an ARC trainer at 10% incline, low intensity.
I am also just finishing the design plan for my next 8 weeks of training.

I did not notice anything really with the No limits but I suppose being I only did 1 set per exercise maybe that was not enough to get the notice of the No Limits or maybe my body needs a day or 2 load.
We will see.
Linda

9:10am a cup of optimum and 1/2 cup nf soy, an orange
11:40am 125gm of dry cottage cheese, 2 tbs Udos, 7 oz green beans
1:45pm veggie fet alfredo, lean cuisine, a cup and half of doritos, 591ml Diet dr pepper
5 oz water

5:45pm venti americano, cup of milk n 24 equal, oat peanut bar topped with chocolate.
8:40pm protein, 8 oz water, 5gm glute, 5gm creatine, stick of cheddar cheese
10pm 2 slice toast white toast with 1 tsp butter and a tsp pntbtr between them.
11pm protein, 8 oz water, 2 tbs Udos

Did my max tests for 6 barbell exercises for mybodyspace.

Barbell Bent Row 70lb 1x18 underhand close grip
OH shoulder 70lb 1x17 seated, to chest

End with 20 mins on ARC trainer with 10% incline with 15% intensity

NO LIMITS REPORT APRIL 16, 07
I took the 6 caps of No Limits 30-45 mins before this workout, but I think the workout was not intense enough to feel the effect so I did not really notice anything this session.  The good news, I did not break out or get a flush which is possible with me when trying new supplements so it is a good sign!!!
I also note I am not super sore, just a bit on quads and low back so I don't know if the NO Limits helps with recovery or if that is my glutamine of which I take 5-20gm per day......its in my log above for today.
Here is a recent photo taken March 25th, 07.  Off season look, this is a casual shoot so I don't really  pose or flex but it does reflect body fat sufficiently I would say.
I can take some formal before pics this week as well.

Today I took it off.

Training & Diet Plan for next 8 weeks.
I have reviewed the HST principles and have figured out how to apply it to my needs.
I am 29 wks and a few days out from contest so I can do this for 8 weeks while still on bulking diet.
I will decrease my meals/cals after this 8 week so for this term I will remain on my bulk diet eating pretty clean all week then go with the flow on weekends. Sticking with the separation diet as well.

I need to get my water up so I am aiming for a gallon, so far have been getting 2 liters on average. Still with 9 meals per day and 3500 to 4000 cals per day with 240 or more grams protein per day.

I will do the below split with Vanilla reps of 1x15 for wk 1-2, 2x10 for week 3-4, 3x5 for week 5-6 then the last week will do drop sets. Same exercises more or less for the term, which I never do so this will be interesting. This will take me to mid June where I will drop to 2800-3000 cals per day, 7 meals per day still on separation style diet and probably will still have weekends to eat as I please, what I please at the frequency I please (not eat protein, not separate, eat less). I don't usually go to nuts anyway and it will depend on my physique at that time.

Monday/Wednesday and Friday are weight days, Tues, Thursday and maybe a weekend day are cardio days of either 15-20 mins heavybag kickboxing or HIIT on recumbent bike or sport specific plyometrics of gymnastic tricks and routine skills, holds, pushups and routine stuff like leaps or dance for 30 mins.
I aim to do one of each of those per week actually.

I will also add to the above sets, a warm up to but only for the muscle group, not for all the exercises, and it will be a warm up set of 10 with like 50% or under 1RM, very light.

AM Workout at the Gym
Barbell Squat ATG
Flat Barbell Bench
Full Barbell Deadlift
Lying Leg Curl
Barbell OH Press
Standing Calve Press Machine
Bar Mid Back Rows underhand close grip
Tricep Bench Dips feet on bench, weight on lap
Standing Barbell Curl
Crunch Twist with weight

PM Workout at Home
Leg Extension or Front Barbell Squat
DB Incline Fly
Single Leg DB Deadlifts
Lying Leg Curls
Barbell OH Press
DB Calve Press Singles
Barbell Rows underhand close grip
Barbell Nose Crushers
Crunch Twist with weight

So my next step now is to get my maxs for 15, 10, and 5 rep on all the listed exercises so I figure I will do it on the first week and figure out the max calculations based on that days lifts.

The 6th session of each 2 week period is for hitting your rep max for that week being 15, 10 or 5 depending on what week you are on.

I am still trying to understand your cutting diet.. I think I kind of get it... Just incase I ever cut again I want to make sure I understand it..

So your getting your constant source of calories from the veggies fruits protein shakes chicken etc So i can imagine you have all the fuel you need and your fatty calories are very low..

Your getting the carbs from the fruits, suppliments.. ?

Your main source of protein is from the protein shakes, soy and chicken.. Or fish which ever meat you happen to be eating that day. 


Did I get that right or do I just sound like a total idiot.. LoL i know its very Basic..  I am just not sure how well the veggies work for calories,  but i do know they help with digestion.. so it seems they would mostly help your body use all the nutrients from the food that you eat.

Hey, Ibend - just to be clear, this is FAR from a cutting diet HAHAHAHAH!!!
This is my bulk clean diet, with free weekends to be dirty or skip or just not worry about nutrients.
The above shows about 4000cals of food which I track on fitday so I know I am close even with margin of err.
The above shows protein meal first, then carb and so on alternating so the green veggies fall in both carb and protein meals but you will see the carb meals are fruits, starches, yogurt.......these are all carbs.
The proteins are pretty clear but the above does hit 4k cals per day.  Cutting is very different, you would have to look at my diet in Oct Nov 06 to see the cutting version.
The fatty cals come from the Udos oil.  I took in 8 tbs that day above here........
Make sense??
Linda

O wow... soo many calories.. I eat 3,500 - 4,000 calories but I may be a little under what i eat... I am probably 1,000 off.. I bulk a tad differently then you with all pastas meat hardly any veggies just in the evenings sometimes for lunch.

I really like how you throw the fruit in there for carbs. I think I am going to do that too.

Thank for clearing that up Linda lol.. I think our protein consumption makes the difference in the type of calories we are eating.. But i am a much larger person so I have to consume a bit more fatty foods for the extra protein. Although Soy seems like a good way of keeping the fatty calories down... The soy powders though do tend to have more sodium then the muscle milk protein powders.. Thats the only thing that turns me off..

Looking at my program again, I think I may omit the lying leg curls, there is not much chance for weight increase on it cuz its plates and I have deadlifts in there, although not SL, still hits em.

April 19.07
Workout
Did my HST AM and PM plan, felt good with slight pump this time from NO Limits use, my second use.
No cardio this day, tomorrow will do 30 mins gymnastics and skills - man, that is gonna hurt, am rusty from time off since last contest in Nov, although I always have my splits it take a few days to get used to the gymnastics and balistic movements after stopping them for a few months. 
I also felt a pump in the afternoon when walking the dogs, was still feeling like muscles looked nice and full!!

Diet
6:30am protein, glute, creatine, 2 tbs Udos, 8 oz water, out of greens, also out of proflavinols so taking 5 gm vit C.  Usual Usana.
9am a cup of optimum and 1/2 cup nf soy, and an orange.
11:30am protein, glute, creatine, 2 tbs Udos, 8 oz water, 2 cup lettuce - italian green partial bitter with a tbs of tofu dill dressing.
1pm 2.5 mug of herbal tea- with caf. a tea cake with currants, fried, and a vegan cookie with seeds and date and raisin etc. and used about 1/4 cup of sugar in these teas.....I know, sugar addict, even with equal I have to use a ton!
3:30pm protein, glute, 2 tbs Udos, 8 oz water
5:30pm ww toast plain with a cup of plain no fat yogurt, Venti Americano decaf as usual, a cup of whole milk and 24 equal.
7:30pm protein, glute, creatine, 2 tbs Udos, 8 oz water
9:30pm veggie and ww rotini soup bowl from Lipton.  2 slice of ww toast and 1/2 cup plain nf yog.
10:30pm protein, glute, 2 tbs Udos, 8 oz water
16oz water

NO Limits report second day use (did not use the day before but did on Monday).
I found the pump this time, near end of set, and felt it last through the day.  I also think the NO limits helped push lactic acid back so I could lift harder/longer...however you want to put it.
Linda
