I live in the Dimond district, near Farmer Joe's, Safeway, Pete's Coffee, WaMu, etc. I like the area. I know a lot of people think Oakland isn't the nicest/safest city, I know flexingtonsteele HATES Oakland, but I've found there there are some really nice areas (where I live and around Lake Merrit). I like living in the Bay Area.

Born and raised in that hell hole, and the best thing my parents ever did was move me out of there.

But i would still LOVE to take a drive down to the dimond district and get a workout in with you

Ok another reason why I hate oakland. Check this out

Im a counselor at a juvenille prison. it houses the most violent offenders in the state ages 18-25.

The unit that I work at has 46 inmates. 6 are from oakland.........so about 1 out of every 7

Now we have juvenilles from all over the state (its a big ass state), and one out of every seven on my unit are from oakland..........THATS REDICULOUS! Just more fuel to my hatred for oakland fire

Ohhhh, I work in a youth prison, so thats where they might have been before they come to me, or sometimes after they leave from me.

Glad you found the site helpful (not mine, its the Species site; my sponsor). No problem with what your doing if thats what makes you happy. Not everyone has aspirations of competing or winning a show. If it makes you happy and its what you want to take 2 weeks off for holidays, I think that's great.

With that said, it's smart of you to try to minimize the negative effects, while still enjoying yourself. If I could suggest only one thing, I woul suggest keeping your protein intake high. Even if you do eat lots of delicious/cheat foods, make sure you keep your protein intake up.

Hey jrod,

I know that salt is important in your everyday nutrition but in small portions, so how much salt do you consume a day while dieting?
Do you cycle it? days on days off for example?

Help me out!

Thanks!

I don't pay very careful attention to salt when dieting, I just ballpark it (no attention at all off-season). When dieting, I make sure to start having more sodium than usual. At about 8 weeks out I start seasoning or salting most of my meals. By 4 weeks out, I make sure to season or salt all my meals. I keep this up until the day before my show. The day before and day of the show, I don't load on sodium anymore, I just have whatever is naturally occuring in the foods I eat.

Bump for Jrod, how's the peeps at Species treating you? When's the next show?
