I need some new clean eating recipes. I’m kinda bored w/turkey meatloaf, steak and chicken. I need some new recipes to add some excitement to these three staples of my diet. Please pass on any ideas! Thanks a bunch.

Okay I’m in training for my 2nd comp and the one thing I crave the most is sugar. I try to tell myself that its only goin to hurt me rather than help and then I make excuses like "but you did so well all wk, you deserve it, one bite wont hurt" Does anyone have any tips to combat these urges? are there safe choices to choose from? I started to much on strawberries with a bit of lite whip cream.

Every now and then I get into this funk where I don’t feel like I’m making the gains I want and seem to lose motivation. If anyone has any pointers as to staying motivated…pass them on. =)

I’m about to start taking Dark Rage by MHP since all the other hyped up products such as Vapor and Superpump (which sucks cuz I like all Gaspari products) don’t seem to work for me. I want to get that extra "pump" during my workouts w/out putting on mass. My goal is to lean out and define my abs for my next show. If anyone has any prior experiences or suggestions as to my needs, feel free to pass them on. Thx

So I just almost finished my first 800g of superpump and I cannot visibly or physically see any true gains. I can say that I am addicted to the flavor. Besides the frequent bathroom runs, I can’t say that I made any true progress w/it. If anyone has experienced any gains please comment back. I’m not sure if I need to continue taking it and over frequent use the benefits will kick in?

Im very interested in becoming certified as a personal trainer and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to who was the best accredited agency to go w/. I kinda narrowed it down between ISSA and NASM. If anyone has any advice or testimonials please pass them on.

Has anyone used Mitropin by Gaspari or lypolyze by Species Nutrition? If so what were the effects/gains? I bought the Lypolyze and I’m going to start that this wk. I’ve been hearing the Mitropin mentioned alot lately ans was wondering about the reviews on that. Thx

Currently looking 4 any supps that help w/leaning out. I’m so impatient lol I eat well and workout hard but want to lean out much faster than I am. If anyone knows of any good supps or has used SP250 I’d like to know if that has helped with leaning out.

Okay…so I decieded to try Superpump250 and before doing so I read some reviews and overall it was positive feedback. The one thing I didn’t agree w/was the  side effects. I didn’t really feel "pumped" nor did I get the urge to run to the bathroom. My stomach was fine.Although, my BF usually has to go straight to the br upon taking it. I drank 2 sccops and had virtually no side effects. Can this be explained? I understand everything affects everyone differently but I’ve read how it has made men much bigger than me pumped and it hasn’t done anything for me. It is only my first time but I was expecting some huge rush at least…nada. I also want to to know what type of improvements should I look forward to? Does it help lean you out? I am looking to lean out in my midsection (define the abs) and lean out in my legs. Open for suggestions.

Well as I keep thinking about my exp I keep recalling other things that could help the transition even smoother. In terms of ordering the suit it was a bit tricky for me. Now I’m a champ at ordering online, I order clothes all the time, but ordering a suit is tricky b/c your body is changing and you need to provide your present measurements and your prospected measurements. Well I kinda procrastinated on the suit ordering b/c I had a suit all picked out and when I went to order I realized I have no clue what I’m doing! I called the website and the lady was extremely helpful (lidiaconti-bodywear) she does great work. So I told her the date of my show and to my horror she told me it was way too late to get that suit b/c those suits pictured are customs suits and are only there to give the customer and idea of how much that particular design may cost. So panic set in but she said that she had suits lying around and to give her my measurements and she would see what she could fine. She ended up sending me two pics of two suits she had. I wasn’t sod on them but knew I needed something and fast. I chose one and had extra rhinestones added and it turned out beautifully. I had to get the bottoms altered a bit b/c they ran a bit too large but no biggy. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a quality reasonably priced comp suit. So next time I will be ordering ahead of time. K on to protan/dream tan and your suit. You have to be extra careful to not get anything on your suit. Most of the time you have to go in front of the judges for prejuding and then theres an intermission adn of course the suit had to come off. I had a lil trouble w/that and ended up with protan on my baby blue suit!! OMG what to do? I started freaking and went to the nearest pharmacy and bought an oxy lean pen. I wasn’t a believer until now. The pen worked it magic. Spray it on leave a few seconds and dab and watch the stain disappear!! I was amazed and very happy to ge the stain out..so make sure to get a oxy pen if you opt to go with a lighter color suit. Also it may have been easier to wipe off with a different mateial but I had a light color fabric in velvet so it wasn’t just going to rub off with out making a bigger mess. ANother thing make a list of things to bring a wk or two prior this way as days go on when you remember things you can write ti down. If you try and write the list the night befoer your bound to forget. I wrote my list two wks aheadd o time ans stil lmanaged to forget the ONE thing I needed most. My bikini bite. I don’t recommend going on stage without it but I’ve talked to some that have given up on it, its your decision. Also when things like this happen, don’t be afraid to ask ppl are usually more than happy to help! Hope this helps. ANy questions feel free to contact me.
