Gotta cook supper for the girlfriend
- Thread starter kanukii
- Start date
hey there
i guess it may be too late to post a reply to your last post. I only just had the chance to pop in today to see what was going on.
Maybe this info will be useful in the future, so here it is.
Remember when Bill Phillips's 'Body for Life' was first published?
The book was a life changing experience to all those who followed his eating and exercise methods.
His llatest publication is, you can say , a sequel to the first book.
The name of the book is "Eating for Life". I kid you not, but this book is out of this world. Take your pick of a variety of recipes, the best dishes, all maintaining a healthy lifestyle and giving you the best of both worlds: flavor and nutrition.
You can spend hours in the kitchen preparing all these gourmet dishes that will meet your needs in maintaining a healthy, finger-lickin gooood lifestyle.
If she does not put on weight, that does not mean that eventually it will not catch up with her. Women get to a point in their lives where their hormonal changes due to childbirth etc. and other bodily functions will change their physiques and bodily responses to food intake.
Despite never gaining weight regardless of what she eats, it does not hurt to eat well. It pays off on the long run.
Hope this helps!

You might want to start by not referring to your girlfriend as a bitch. Then maybe I'd share my recipes with you. 
What if she really is a bitch? lol You sound kinda jealous of your g/f dude. Most guys are at a much greater advantage of staying cut. Estrogen is a fatty hormone. Thats why you don't see too many girls that are cut out of their head. When I do see a girl with a soft six pack I have tons of respect for her.
Estrogen vs testosterone
You guys, we started out with recipes and ended up with estrogen envy!
lol
That sounds like a great thread to start out
it's true women are not blessed with conveniently responsive physiques that men flaunt...I must say too much estrogen has kept me from attaining my goals and getting the body I want.
I've been working on my physique for years, and only now am i just barely starting to catch a glimpse of all the effort i've been putting into it.
Being a recovering anorexic, I've built my tiny physique up from frail and flat, to toned and buffffff.....and i want to be shredded!
my body fat is at 14% now and i weigh 150 pounds, 5'7"
yup...it was hard getting here and i am real happy with the results so far
but i have reached this plateau and am trying to get more variety in my nutritional intakes and my workouts.
The obvious way to get bigger ******** is not an alternative at all.
I am slowed down and my strength and endurance training is weakened
once a month due to the "female body functions",
unfortunately there is nothing i can do about that but wait it out.
I'm trying the different things out there for that extra boost us athletes thrive on. I'm using REDLINE by VPX as a fat burner, i think it is the best thing i've tried since Xenadrine that i did for years
i may not have a soft six pack yet, i think that is the part i need to work on the most
I don't want to lose my feminine look but i would really love to see some improvement on my abs. i want them cut !
Any input guys??????

Holy crap, I so thought I was gonna get flamed for that. My abs have been cutting in more and more and I do NO cardio. I just lift as heavy as I can.
Do crunches with a heavy weight on my chest.
Slow and controlled leg lifts w/ weights if you're easily going over 15 reps.
Sit sideways on the prone crunch bench and pickup heavy weights off the floor and slowly lower them back down using your love handle muscle. Sorry don't know the name of the muscle or excercise but it works like hell for me. Gives a nice v cut in your pelvis region.

God you're funny.
You thought you were gonna get flamed by some sexist feminist insisting that Estrogen makes the world go round ha?....lol
I don't know about the world..but it sure as hell makes you go round
No cardio at all and good results?
you must have a low body fat%...cool
the lower my body fat gets, the more definition i see and the only thing that really burns that extra fat for me is my cardio. I was doing it every day, jogging, running, hiking, and doing the eliptical trainer. The fat dropped but nothing sculpts the body like the weight room.
I do my cardio every other day now. Just stacked up on some high grade whey protein shakes and all that good stuff.
As for the input on the ab workout, I been doing just that actually.
I mean, i have a flat midsection that has a slight inward curve (
you can see my rib cage more than you can see that six pack
any input on frequency of an ab workout for results?
i usually do my abs with my leg workout which is twice a week, every other week, with upper body and cardio in between.
I messed up my diet last night, one of those days we call "time of the month"
isn't that sad and pathetic?

Not sad and pathetic, just unfortunate. Estrogen is definetly a flawed hormone is respect to bodybuilding but thank god women have it. The world would definetly be a miserable place without estrogen. It does make me go round .
For intensity I work my abs every other day wether I'm doing upper or lower body workouts. I work stomach muscles just like every other muscle, with short breaks between sets and with weights that I can only lift about 10 times.When you lift heavy weights your resting metabolic rate skyrockets past what it would be if you were only doing cardio.
I'm not saying cardio is useless. It builds great endurance. I only do a little cardio every now and then, maybe once every week or two just to keep my lungs in shape.

You're right, it does build up your endurance.
I started training for a half marathon in February.
I really hurt my ankles and knees bad but it did wonders for my hamstrings.
Took it to another level when I switched to the eliptical because it had less impact on my knees and ankles. I bulk up very easily, so i try to take it slow on my lower body where i have the most muscle. But again, there are these really stubborn areas in women's upper thighs that are very very hard to reach. i guess i have to drop my body fat another 2 or 3% to see some improvement in those areas. It's the same for men around their waistline.
Have you tried Redline by VPX?
Man, let me tell you this, if you think stacking ephedrine, caffeine an aspirin is good, THIS STUFF IS THE BOMB!

Never tried redline, don't know much about it.
I dated a girl a couple years ago that had huge legs. When I say huge I don't mean big for a girl, I mean pretty big for an amateur bodybuilding guy! They were tree trunks! All she ever did was squats and cyclying classes. She was the only girl I've ever seen that was in my opinion "bulky."
These days my ex (Mary) does almost all cardio from what I've heard and competes in triathelons (sp?). We are great friends. So if you really think you are getting bulky, post a pic or a before and after pic and we'll tell you if you have anything to worry about.
I was at work last night (Bouncer) and I saw a young lady with a barely visible 6 pack. It was like finding a 4 leaf clover, especially in that club where a lot of girls are wearing haulter tops with their stomach hanging out.
Anyway, enough of my rambling, gotta go hit the gym. Later

I'm jealous!!!
I want that six pack baaaaad!
I fried my abs at the gym yesterday, I think i pulled a muscle because i was in excruciating pain by the time i got to my cardio.
I felt this nasty pulling on the left side of my midsection. I was doing 15lb dumbell pull-ups with my feet when i felt something go "RRRIIIIIIPPPPPP"
Now i'm miserable
This does nothing but set me back from my goals.
Sounds like a great idea. i will post a picture, i don't think i have a before one though. I will have to make a point of taking some good snapshots.
my legs look like a "v". I was a ballerina for 6 years before i got into bodybuilding, so my legs have had most of their built for quite sometime.
I can do 175 lbs stand up calve raises! Insane for a girl!
My bf is a bodybuilder, training to compete prefessionally , we met at GNC.....lol...and i remember him going: "OH MY GOD LOOK AT HER LEGS"!
I am very self conscious about my physique, you know the stereotypical, long-svelt-catwalk-legs that every woman wants? well that ain't me and there is nothing i can do about it. I mean running 8 miles a day for the past 7 months made it even worse. Never thought guys liked muscle bound chicks.
I am particularly proud of my upper body. I ripped a muscle in my bicep last week that is healing nicely, other than a navy blue bruise....i was trying to do curls with a 50lb dumbell
I guess I need to take it slow on increasing my weights. I forget i'm a pathetic female and so i end up hurting myself. You should see me swinging around trying to get a 50 lb dumbell over my head to do triceps...lol...PATHETIC
I am just starting to incorporate creatine titrate crystal into my diet. I am waiting for my shipment, i think i should be able to see more definition and tone up a little more, but i need to learn to take a couple of days off from the gym for recovery time. I can't seem to get it into my thick skull that i will not see results if i dont give my body time to heal. I'm such an addict! The more, the merrier.
You tried anything by VPX? I hear they just banned Paradaca???
They're just pullin all that good **** off the market aren't they. (can I say ****?)
well, YOU'RE AT THE GYM AND MY ASS IS IN AN OFFICE FOR THE NEXT 10 HOURS! i just wanna die
I'm doing legs tonight, now that's a workout from hell. I didn't do my Redline this morning because i just wanna get down by my desk and do pushups in the office on that stuff. Don't think i'll be getting a raise anytime soon if i get caught doin that....don't you think?

That reminds me of the first time I started doing lying leg lifts. Didn't feel my stomach till the next day and I ripped them pretty bad. It took acouple days for them to stop hurting but you know how that goes.
175 is insane for a girl, jesus! Right now I'm only doing 220. Once I start getting close to my max a tendon on the button of my foot starts to pop and it feels like someone is shoving a nail in the sole of my foot!
Maybe you actually are more bulky than most chicks, but I don't think a lot of guys would mind, apparently your b/f really likes it. I think most healthy guys that workout would find it attractive.
Holy crap! curling a 50 lb dumbell?! Never seen a girl do that. You'll have that 6 pack pretty soon with that kind of intensity and dedication. But REST is a key ingredient in muscle growth, thats the time your muscle really grows.
Never tried anything by vpx. I don't really take anything to speed me up these days. I just try not to rest too long between sets or throw up on myself in the gym,lol.
I prolly wouldn't start crankin out pushups by my desk if I was lookin for a raise. Anyway, I get my butt to school then work for 12 hours.....fun. And no you can't say **** on here,lol.

Don't you just hate it when you pour your heart out on these boards, then the page expires for some reason and you need to go through alllllllllll the drama of typing it alllllllllllllllll out again??
My last post started with an estogen ouburst at not being able to use the word "body waste" on here where as dude just called his lady friend a "female canine"...LOL
How's that for a typical female response ?
But anyway to make a long story short....you know anything about creatine serum vs the powder? The pros say its worthless but i read some pretty good reviews...dunno
I am doing the six meals a day plan, 350 to 400 calories a pop, keeps my energy levels up and my metabolism going. I been hungrier than ever these days, i guess my body is needing more and i am kinda getting bored with the same meals...i don't really have much diversity in my diet...ts very strict.
I would like to hear of some breakfast alternatives to soy milk and cereal. Something quick and dirty cuz i got no time to mess around the kitchen in the mornings....and the night before i am fixing the next day's lunch...
Panman, what do you have in the mornings to kick start that furnace?

It's so expensive to pack int the calories when they are healthy calories. Thank god for weight gainers. I just got my new 10 lb tub of N-Large 2 today, wooohoo.
This morning I ate malt-o-meal with a dash of cinnamon and 3 packs of sugar substitute with a protien shake. I made a post on here very recently about breakfast. The egg beaters carton is really convienent. Scrambled eggs w/ fat free cheese and chopped lean ham mixed while scrambling eggs in the skillet, really good stuff.

That sounds good.
I've never tried the egg beaters. I need to go grocery shopping.
I did lower body last night.
240 lb on quads, not bad huh?
I feel alright though, better than I thought I would
for some reason when i don't feel the misery of muscle pain, i feel like I didnt exert myself enough.
I need to put more time into the kitchen, i've been doing one meal and 5 meal supplements for a while now cuz i have no time to cook
Office...cold outside...work....fun
Thanks for all the helpful input!

I've been eating a lot of this raisin wheat bread I get from Wal Mart with low fat butter (promise land i think it is).
You did 240 lb squats? Holy crap you're strong. Please post a pic or two. You've gotta be one of the strongest ladies I've ever met.
What all do you do that causes you to not have time? Not calling you lazy, just curious.
I workout 4 days a week (1 day of cardio)
I go to school full time.
I work full and part-time jobs.
I feel sorry for my g/f, she kinda gets whatever is left. She says she loves me or something though. She's kinda cool.

I am a Graphic Designer.
I am the production artist for one of the top commercial real estate companies in Atlanta. I graduated from college 4 years ago. God knows I feel old
I work Monday through Friday, regular hours, 8:30 to 5:30. I get up real early so no time for cardio in the mornings on an empty stomach unfortunately, except on the weekends. I get home at around 6:00 pm, and am at the gym by 6:30, 7:00.
I am at the gym untl they kick me out
They close @ 10:00 pm so i joined another 24 hour spot and so I altenrnate. By the time i get home it is somewhere around 11:00- 11:30 pm. I am usually so tired and ready to eat, fix my food for the next day and hit the sack.
I do cook but nothing fancy, i fix oatmeal, turkey sandwiches, tuna salad, cottage cheese and fruit and all that good stuff, i pack it all up and its ready to go. I don't manage to cook some good chicken or lean beef and steem veggies to take to work with me though. but i do fix those meals over the weekends so they are ready during the course of my week and that saves me alot of time. I don't like to be up late because i need 8 hours of sleep.
The gym is my whole life. I wish i could do this full time. I did shoulders and traps last night and i got a good cardio afterwards.
i do my cardio at least 5 times a week on alternating days between my training and after my training on training days except on leg day.
I had these guys come up to me last night at the gym and ask me if i was training for a competition. They said my legs were awesome. They wanted to watch me do seated calf raises. They said they had watched me do them before and could not believe their eyes. I can do 180lb seated calf raises..(4 x 45lb)
which is freaky!
I had this girl look at me like: "WHAT THE F***?!!!"
lol
But...to be honest with you Panman, it gets lonely, it really does. I broke up with my ex bf because he could not keep up with my lifestyle. I spent no time with him at all and i felt bad about it all he time. I could not change his way of life to suit me and he couldn't change his. I broke up with him because i didn't want to hurt him anymore. I spent more time at the gym than i did with him and we LIVED TOGETHER! Terrible.
My current bf, we have alot in common, we're both gym rats and body building is our life, but, it don't feel about him the way i felt about my ex...doesn't life suck?
oh well *sigh*
Sometimes you wonder what is more important, loving the person you are with and meeting them half way to make a relationship work, or loving yourself and what you want for you.
I think if i can't be happy with myself, i can't make anyone happy. If i am an addict then maybe there is someone out there just like me that i CAN love...
who knows, i'm getting carried away. This is worldfitness.com not imlonleyashell.com
as i was saying:
I do the 100% Whole wheat, no sugar, no fat toast with lean pastrami and sun dried tomatoes at work...yum
i have soy milk with one scoop of 100% whey protein, a banana, high fiber and protein cereal with a cap full of vanilla extract in the morning.
During the course of my day, i have a trioplex whole grain bar as a full meal with lots of water
Isopur protein shake and a tablespoon of flax seed oil before my workouts
extra glutamine before bedtime
grilled salmon for my fats and string beans for dinner...
lovin it...his is a typical daily nutritional intake for me
i never eat out
i don't drink
i do my multi vitamin, my calcium and my fatburners..throw in some ephedrine every now and then
it's like having a family, a love affair, a fulltime and partime job, and a pet
but i would't give it up for the world.

i do my cardio at least 5 times a week on alternating days between my training and after my training on training days except on leg day.
I had these guys come up to me last night at the gym and ask me if i was training for a competition. They said my legs were awesome. They wanted to watch me do seated calf raises. They said they had watched me do them before and could not believe their eyes. I can do 180lb seated calf raises..(4 x 45lb)
which is freaky!
I had this girl look at me like: "WHAT THE F***?!!!"
lol
But...to be honest with you Panman, it gets lonely, it really does. I broke up with my ex bf because he could not keep up with my lifestyle. I spent no time with him at all and i felt bad about it all he time. I could not change his way of life to suit me and he couldn't change his. I broke up with him because i didn't want to hurt him anymore. I spent more time at the gym than i did with him and we LIVED TOGETHER! Terrible.
My current bf, we have alot in common, we're both gym rats and body building is our life, but, it don't feel about him the way i felt about my ex...doesn't life suck?
oh well *sigh*
Sometimes you wonder what is more important, loving the person you are with and meeting them half way to make a relationship work, or loving yourself and what you want for you.
I think if i can't be happy with myself, i can't make anyone happy. If i am an addict then maybe there is someone out there just like me that i CAN love...
who knows, i'm getting carried away. This is worldfitness.com not imlonleyashell.com
as i was saying:
I do the 100% Whole wheat, no sugar, no fat toast with lean pastrami and sun dried tomatoes at work...yum
i have soy milk with one scoop of 100% whey protein, a banana, high fiber and protein cereal with a cap full of vanilla extract in the morning.
During the course of my day, i have a trioplex whole grain bar as a full meal with lots of water
Isopur protein shake and a tablespoon of flax seed oil before my workouts
extra glutamine before bedtime
grilled salmon for my fats and string beans for dinner...
lovin it...his is a typical daily nutritional intake for me
i never eat out
i don't drink
i do my multi vitamin, my calcium and my fatburners..throw in some ephedrine every now and then
it's like having a family, a love affair, a fulltime and partime job, and a pet
but i would't give it up for the world.
post!

Wow, that was a post.I think we've hijacked this poor boy's thread,lol.
No fat toast? Didn't know toast had fat. You are definetly more hardcore than my ex with the big muscular legs. Suddenly I feel very lazy after reading that post. Why do you get up so early? I would think you would be able to sleep in till 7-7:30.
180 on seated calf raises is insane for a girl. I think my max is somewhere around there. I know I've never done more than 200 seated. Your determination and success is pretty damn impressive by anyone's standards.
I wish I had enough time and rest to be a gym rat. I only get about 4 hours of sleep a day the first half of the week. I only workout every other day. I'm on a bulking cycle right now. So far so good.
I really can't tell you anything nutritional or bodybuilding wise. You know more than I do, and I'd just be preachin' to the chior,lol.
Maybe we should carry on conversation through email. At this rate, this thread will be 10 pages long,lol.

Testosterone Rules
I meant low fat bread. I actually do the toasting.
Today is the last day on this cycle. As of tomorrow I start rotating my carb intake again. Dropping my calories and reducing my carbs as the day progresses. Doing 5 meals instead of six for the next 3 weeks. I did biceps and back yesterday. Today is abs and cardio. I get up real early because I need to walk the dog, shower, have breakfast (SEATED!!!the only meal of the day i eat sitting down!) Write my journal..and all that.
Yeah , we did crucify this thread. Email is fine. Can i post my email it on here? Dunno
