Hi guys! Hope you havent forgotten about me! Heres a pic of what happens to you if you dont eat n dont go to the gym for 6 weeks.

my abs, shoulders, biceps and lats (and legs, but they're covered up) are gone

and i look squishy

WHO WANTS TO BE SQUISHY! NO ONE!!!!

anyway i've gone back again, started again and I'm starting at the same weight i left off (apart from chest)

I wanna do this ameture comp in May reaaal bad.

Since I've been off I now weight 53kgs, which is 1kg heavier than before, which is because of the implants. And if my weight is the same but I've lost muscle, that must mean i have gained a lot of fat! I dont feel that fat....

oh well, I'm going to try and make it to 60 kgs before i start cutting for the comp

**ppsuprise** · September 3rd, 2006, 08:59 PM

well its good to hear your back in the training game now and that youve recovered pretty good. and yea i wouldnt wanna be squishy either but at least you still look pretty good.

**liza larence** · September 3rd, 2006, 09:31 PM

Hey, those implants look lovely...and dont worry about the "squishiness" love...you CANNOT train hard after surgery for at least 6-8 weeks. Wait and see, you'll be right back and hotter / harder than ever!!!!
The "muscle memory" thing is a fact... you will have lost NOTHING once you get back on track...usually only 2-3 weeks of hard training to regain baseline condition after a surgery, injury, etc... and the competition in May? No worries

I'll be happy to help...

**Doughboy** · September 3rd, 2006, 09:47 PM

All this squishy this and squishy that my ears are burning, did someone call me? lol you not squishy Gymgirl I am, you dont mind a squishy dough man do you? Im famous for my squishyness.

Say it loud Im squishy and Im proud. *doughy is the only one to say it* Never had a rocker chick before, are you chicks into little doughy men?

**Insex** · September 3rd, 2006, 10:06 PM

Just like what Liza said, get back in there and work hard. Your muscles will remember everything that they're supposed to do and you'll get back to where you used to be and beyond.

You look good right now, and you'll look even better when that six-pack is more defined. Keep up the good work, we're all rooting for you!

**gYmgIrL** · September 3rd, 2006, 10:41 PM

i didnt realise how much it was getting to me but your comments have made me feel so much better.

Thank you so much! Look out world!!!

**joker13** · September 4th, 2006, 04:43 AM

**stephenlavin** · September 4th, 2006, 10:55 AM

I wondert what's wrong with this pic. I really can't see anything bad here. I see a very pretty, very fit young lady. Maybe you need corrective glasses GG?

Although self indulgence is not a quality, self depreciation isn't either!!! Just take it easy to start with, especially upper body, and take a few weeks to work on your wheels, there's no better time to hit the squat rack and hammer some long middle weight sets. I'd also advise you on a page of Liza's book for great wheels: barbell lunges (I pinch everybody's training trick, I'm trying to place one from PowerHouse in as well). Until you're certain you have fully recovered from the op, then add deadlifts and Romanian Deadlift (yeah, that sound enough like a PowerHouse tip!). Don't neglect you back and chest then, of course.

Since you want to gain, you have to get used to the idea that gain is not gonna happen fat free. You can just limit it. I've seen people advise on mixed diet: 3 days @ high calories, like say 3500 for you, and 4 days at normal calories, which is about 2200 if I remember correctly. You gonna ask how to hit 3500 cal? Sip oil if you need to. Olive Oil isn't all that bad

But reallistically, get a high carb drink (dextrose/maltodextrin) and stuff in some rice/pasta ... I can't eat 100g (dried) of pasta on their own, but with a tin of tuna and a spoonfull of mayo, I easily shovel 140g (weight uncooked) of pasta down.

Remember that gaining means certain exercises, certain method and certain diet. Adonis recently posted a guide on reps/time. It looks extremely interesting, despite some flows in the math of it all (I'm not saying he's wrong, I'm saying the numbers don;t add up in math, but fitness is not exact science

). And like we always say to the kids out there who wanna gain: Row, Squat, Dead

Bench is ok too, and girl, it's past time you start chinning up, and I mean it in more ways than one
