Way to go Jess!

5 weeks out -182.4lbs

Cheat Period

Saturday (5/26) wrapped up 10 days without carbs.  I ended this period with a 40 hour fast that included three 55 minute cardio sessions.  Starting at 4:30pm, it was carb up time.  Here is what I ate to replenish glycogen stores and to get all the cravings out of my system:

Meal 1:

• Kung Pao Chicken and Bourbon Chicken from Food Court in the mall
• Double Doozie Chewy Pecan cookies

Meal 2:

• Outback Steakhouse - Ahi Tuna appetizer
• Blue Cheese Pecan Salad with extra everything
• Prime Rib Focaccia Sandwich
• Steak Fries smothered in ketchup
• 1 Slice Turtle Cheesecake from Sam's Club

Meal 3:

• Sausage Biscuit
• 8 pizza rolls
• 4 donuts - 1 glazed, 1 creme filled chocolate, 1 raspberry jelly filled glazed, and 1 custard filled chocolate
• 1 Heath Bar flavored Klondike ice cream bar
• 1 bowl of Fruity Pebble Cereal and milk

Other Snacks between these meals:

• 1 homemade cookie
• Creme Brulee rice cakes
• Fat Free Pringles
• Jacks Links Peppered Beef Jerky
• Crispy Almonds

Then bedtime.  Sunday started with a gruelling leg workout upon waking, then whole eggs and a protein shake, then a gruelling arm workout and two more high protein/moderate fat meals.  Back to no carbs until next Saturday.
              

8 Weeks out from Master's Nationals

Rock Solid's Current Roster

Jessica (the better half, or we'll say softer half  :-) of Rock Solid) and I both have full time jobs and our training is our passion.  We usually don't have a lot of time to take on a huge number of clients, but we try to accommodate whoever wants our help.  Here are the Rock Stars, as we like to call them, that we are currently working with:

Sarah Shulz - prepping for the Kentucky State Bikini Division
Tina Boots - also prepping for the Kentucky State Bikini
J.D. Wesley - gearing up for competing in Physique at the Tricky Jackson Classic
Dee Dee Bailey - losing some unwanted fat to feel and look better
Edip Elitas - getting rid of those few stubborn pounds that won't let go

We have been contacted by a few other interested parties, so we'll see who else we can add to the team soon!  Stay posted for results and before and after pics.

Upcoming Bodybuilding, Figure, Physique, and Bikini Contests in Kentucky

For anyone looking to compete in a Kentucky show, here is what we have coming up:

Kentucky State Championships in Frankfort - 10 weeks out (from 5/26/12)
Tricky Jackson Classic in Lexington - 22 weeks out
Kentucky Muscle in Lousiville -  23 weeks out

Those looking for something soon, The Kentucky State is a nice smaller show.  The Tricky Jackson and Kentucky Muscle would be a great combo of shows to do.  Once you do all that hard work, why not go ahead and compete in 2 or 3 back to back for your efforts?  More chances at trophies  ;)

12 Weeks Out from Masters Nationals

Jason Allinder (me - a.k.a. rocksolid) is planning on doing Masters Nationals on July 20, 2012 in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.  I began my contest diet 12 weeks out.  Here are a few of the pictures we took the day the diet began:

Side Chest Pose

Facing Rear Relaxed Pose

My starting weight was 198.7lbs in the morning and my Tanita scale had my bodyfat at 17% (although the fat percentage is not real accurate, it does give me something to compare to and gauge my progress sometimes)
