JenJen I have a question.. how long do you have to eliminate possibly allergenic foods before you reintroduce them to see if you're allergic?

did you tackle the rapids??

RISE AND SHINE!!!

Viv- I would allow 2-3 weeks without the possible allergenic substance, then re-introduce it and see how you respond.

myCAT- a few, the river is SO high right now theres not as many rapid areas, but its real fast waters.

Yummy- Salmon!! I love it Call me later if you get a chance hun!


Posted by: atherjen

Andrea! you fiddlehead! look what Viv started! haha

we will go kayakin someday if you ever make it this far east!

my mom's been trying to get ahold of herself a bit more lately, walking everyday, so I decided to make it more enjoyable for her and join her. and shes trying to eat healthier, etc. Im proud of her making those small changes...its taken a long time to twist her leg! lol

Ill defintly give you a call in a bit girl!


Posted by: greekblondechic

How do u know if you're allergic if say your allergic reaction is a slow one that builds up as opposed to an immediate strong one?

Hahaha! Fiddlehead!

Yeah I got my mom to join the gym back in December and she's been working out at least 3-4x a week (1hr or more each time), and she says she's been tryin to eat less and pick better choices, but she hasn't lost a single pound and her clothes don't fit any better and she's feeling discouraged.. I dunno what to tell her!


Posted by: Stacey

Hey girlie!! Fiddlehead! You guys are cracking me up!!!

Yep We go mudding down here-- I never see snakes though. I haven't been mudding in YEARS. Its fun though!

Have a great day girlie!!! Sounds like your just having a blast back at home!


Posted by: ncgirl21

JEN............................................... ....... Where ARE you???????


Posted by: atherjen

Viv- example?
its good to hear that your mother got in to the gym! I guess somehow you will have to tell her she needs to make better choices nutritionally to see changes, remind her how important diet is!

Stace- Thanks!! I am having a good time! much needed.
how often do you see snakes?? Im kinda worried about them when I visit! lol!

ANDREA- GIRL!! omg Im soooo sorry I never got a chance to call today!! my mom asked me to go get groceries with her and it turned into an all afternoon visiting time with some of her friends! (she needs to tell me these things before she goes!!). Ill defintly without a doubt call you tomarrow hun! I am soo sorry!

I used to have a pet rattle snake I had to umm... "get rid" of him. I had nightmares that he would get out of the aquarium.

Depending where you go(un-populated areas), you will always run into snakes in the desert.


Posted by: atherjen

I would have night and DAYmares!!!!

Im just going to wear waiters to my chest and have a poking stick to protect myself!


Posted by: PreMier

No poking stick!
If you leave them alone, usually they dont bother people. Its when they get stepped on is when they bite. Just be careful, and watch where you walk

a pet rattler?

ive got a pet boa right now... and he can get a little "grumpy" at times. id hate to have a grumpy rattler on my hands.


Posted by: PreMier

Well, I never took him out. I had him in a 55gal tank. I would feed him "pinkies" from the pet store.

Don't linger at the same weight. Go from 95 to 115 to 135 to 145. If you need a few more warmup sets, start with 45 for 3-5 reps. So it would ideally look something like this:

95/3
115/3
135/1
145/1

Only thing I would change is moving this to your last exercise, after the push press.

Quote:

Perfect. Just move it up one like I mentioned above.

Do abs on your Squat/Deadlift days. Also, we want to go over the form you're using on squats. Generally with a powerlifting mindset, you want to go wide and put the emphasis on your posterior, and that will be a whole new world for you.

Looking good so far, though.


Posted by: Saturday Fever

Some stuff on form for squatting. I'll try to clear up any confusingness.
