What a pump!!

Hey there see im doing good two days in a row. Im on it!!

Hope everyone survived Monday. :-/

I meet up with an old workout partner from back in the day at Gold's Gym last night to destroy my back. I had so much blood following in my lats my arms would barely hang down. Best back day in a long time. I would suggest that to anyone who is caught in a funk to rep it out with a workout partner. Everybody has there own style of training so your body will react in amazing ways if you change up your workout here and there. If you would like to be my workout partner for the day email me at jaimi_mize@yahoo.com and we can kill it together!!!

As far as our exact workout here goes: (mind you I had a mock workout in my head that I gave you guys yesterday but my beast of a workout partner had other plans :)

-We started with wide grip lat pulldowns treading up in weight to lesser reps alternated it with behind the head style as well before we were done we did about 12 sets of just this exercise.
-Low rows were next 4 sets last set drop set
-old school deadlfts make sure you wear a belt for safety
-db rows
-Golds gym had this narrow grip row machine it felt amazing perfect angle! Squeezing the muscle with every rep.
-wide grip pullovers (very good for v-taper)
-then went to reverse grip pull down machine works same as pullover we did but she wanted to make sure I fatigued the muscle and trust me she succeeded! Yowzer!
-wide grip pulldowns free motion machine, again just fatiguing the muscle we did burnout sets on this machine
-lastly, hypers for lower back with no weight
By time all said in done I was so pumped up i had a hard time changing my shirt to do cardio lol
I finished workout with 45 mins on stepmill (Course my pump was totally gone after cardio :(

Tonight Im tackling the legs!! Time to shine up the wheels!
Since my legs are naturally very muscular and I tend to hold a lot of water in my legs I flex my legs after every set to keep water retention out. Im working on my glute and hamstring tie in and quad separation which is very important on stage. There is a move that my old trainer Bodybuilding Pro Quincy Taylor taught me its amazing for quad separation. On leg extension set it to moderate weight and lift your hips up while holding on to seat and slowly raise legs up and squeeze muscle hard as you can (you can actually see muscles separate it a great exercise)! As far as my leg days go im very old school nothing fancy really. Usually always start with leg press or leg extensions to warmup. Then its weighted lunges, squats, step ups for glutes, old school "Jeffersons", stiff legged deadlifts or lying ham curls. Im really focusing on my glutes right now to master the "muscular bubble butt" to put it bluntly lol so deep squats are a must. But like I said I just do what ever at the moment so I let you know tomorrow my exact leg workout I ended up doing. I will end with a hour on elliptical to get the blood flowing in my legs again. I dont do step mill on leg days. :)

To touch a little bit on my diet today its leg day so im having a little more carbs than other days for energy. So pounding down sweet potatoes and brown rice throughout day. of course my two gallons of water as well which is a b*%ch sometimes!

So there it folks! Im feeling good a little bloated from all the water but staying right on track and making progress everyday. Im a fighter and know what I want and its Jaimi's time!!! Tired of sitting on the sideline its been too long. Those who dont believe in me better get ya popcorn ready cause its going to be a battle! Im taking a risk by blasting my contest prep so public but the pressure of everybody knowing my goals motivates me!! On the other hand I blast it to help other people who want to make that step like me but dont have the knowledge of what to do or how to do it. I remember back in the day when I first started following bodybuilding I wanted to do a show so bad but didnt know jack. I researched every website under the sun and learned so much. I only wish that someone would share there day to day experiences and knowledge like I am. I hope someone out there reading this is getting motivated cause no goal no matter how far out of reach it may seem is untouchable. Im prime example the first time I saw a picture of monica Brant I never thought I could have muscles like that and here I am today! I was outta shape all through high school and now you cant get me outta the gym! Start today! Stop using the word "hoping"!! My wish for you is that you accomplish all your dreams and goals but you have to start today!!!!

Much Love~
