Sorry for hogging this thread today everyone ..... please excuse me.
I only did the double cardio for 5 months when I was unemployed. I only did it cuz I had the time to do it and I liked doing it. When I went back to work, I resumed my regular workouts. Actually, that's not totally accurate, cuz since I found Cathe in February of last year, I've been working out harder than ever. I also cleaned up some of my diet a bit since I started doing Cathe and added a bit more protein. I thought an apple would be good to eat close to bed, as it can't be that bad for you.
As far as my shape, I guess I am somewhat of a pear. I'm not huge on the bottom, but I have a somewhat larger bottom half and round rearend. No matter how much weight I lose, I've always had my rounded rearend and carry more weight up high on my thighs than I'd like. The problem with lifting real heavy on top to build is my disc herniation restricts me somewhat with upper body strength. I'm not allowed to do some over the head movements (i.e., military press, triceps extensions seated) and I'm not allowed to do movements that require hoisting my own body weight, i.e, triceps dips, pushups. I only got the okay to lift heavier on my upper body about 5 months ago and have gradually worked my way up to lifting as heavy as I can (and I've only been going as heavy as I can for about 2-3 months). It seems like every single leg workout yields minimal to no results. I did Legs & Glutes for all of last month and no improvement yet. It's quite frustrating. In my upper body, I notice I am starting to get just a touch more shape and a touch more dense.
