This Is Why I'm Hot!!

Posted by: b_reed23

Woohoo, a new journal!

I'm gonna keep this short, because most everyone that visits my journal knows me pretty well...I have the same goals, lose fat, gain muscle, blah, blah, blah...but I have a few new ones as well....

live life to it's fullest...if that means cheating on my diet or missing a day in the gym, it's ok...and I will NOT beat myself up over it. Sometimes you just need more sleep, or need to have a little fun.

Be happy! No matter what, try to do things for myself, as well as others.

they may be unconventional goals, but they are realistic, and will make me a better person

that being said, right now I'm sitting at 130lb, and you know what? That's ok...if I lose it will be good, but if not, I'm comfortable where I'm at

nice journal

Posted by: b_reed23

today was an off day, but I still went for a walk, 1 mile, 18 minutes

Posted by: Uthinkso

I love your attitude, I started beating myself up when I'd slip here and there too. Then I just had to step back and say screw it. Some days will be great, others not so much. I agree that I have the control and make each day what I choose, but sometimes you just have to live life and not be confined to a training and diet program like its a prison sentence.

Also congrats on the 5k time, that kicks my ass.

Posted by: b_reed23

I did turbo kick this morning, plus she ran us through a workout of legs/shoulders/abs afterwards, so I am wore out! It lasted a little over an hour....I may try to do a little more cardio after work though

When we were out on the jet skis on Monday a friend of ours got too close with his to splash us, and I cought the water PLUS the jet ski propulsion straight to the face..resulting in a black eye, it hurt SO bad...it still hurts right around my sinuses, especially when I try to blow my nose

It's all good though. We also jumped some HELLA barge waves, and I skinned my knee when the jet ski nose dived into a wave (about 5ft tall!!!!!) I am bruised everywhere!!

I've included a pic...but I have makeup on over it, so you can't really see how bad it is....check it out!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

YIKES!!!!

WOW girly....I hope you get to feeling better. Better get the sirloin out, to put on your eye, not to eat!

OH! quick question...I've noticed that after I drink on the weekends I have this bloated feeling, and my belly is all jiggly the next week...what's causing this and how can I get it to stop?

Posted by: Fitgirl70

salt, sugar and water in the alcohol -- along with yeast if it's beer will cause the bloating and the water retention.

Cure? Don't drink!

No seriously, I don't know if there is anything that you can take to make the belly not all "jiggly". It's a good question though because I'd like to know as well.

Posted by: b_reed23

maybe it's also because your dehydrating your body when you drink?? maybe you could swap the beer out for water (oh yeah...and that would make you more drunk too

)

Posted by: DeadBolt

Hot stuff good lookin workout!

As for the drinking...when you drink your body is getting dehydrated from the booz...this causes your body to try and hold as much water as possible afterwards to rehydrate the muscles and organs. Same goes for a nice carb up day...same concept here. One thing you can do it A) dont drink but shit that aint no fun! B) try to keep hydrated while drinking...I use to do that and it helped but now I'm fat so you can't tell the difference. I use to drink 1-2 liters before I went to bed the night of drinking then when I would wake up I'd kick all the extra fluids out of my body and keeps them nasty hang overs at bay! B/c thats all a hangover is...a dehydrated brain.

Now if you keep a strict diet...1-3 days after your night of drinking the water should kick itself out and you would be back to where you started. Back when I did my last competition I had visible abs went drinking one night and woke up to where you couldn't see any of them. kept a strict diet for 2 1/2 days and before I knew it they later of water was gone and the abs were back. But that was many moons ago

I just like to hear it from a woman...

Reminds me of a story:
Was after closing at the night club. I just happened to be walking past a bar where two of the female bartenders about to talkabout what the hottest sex was for them. So...naturaly, I stopped and began to listen w/ undivided attention. Thre was a FAT bouncer called 'House' who also happend to be there.
I asked what made it so hot. House...the fat fuq...sarcastically asked me:
"What...you need to take notes?"
me: "let's see; when two hot women are about to talk about the hottest sex they've ever had...and you are NOT 'taking notes'...
(I turn into him at this point)
YOU ARE A FUQQIN MORON.

This exchange of words of course, killed the subject and that was the end of that.

True story.
See...I know 'a few' things in the pleasuring of women. But, maybe...just maybe...somebody else has figured out something I had not yet thought of...that if I come across, I cna add to my 'bag of tricks'...and make that much better of a lover.

Posted by: Pylon

That's why lesbians are so interesting. They have the keys to the kingdom, and might will willing to share if you buy them a shot of Jagermeister.

Posted by: Burner02

hey hottie!
have an exciting weekend planned?

Posted by: Archangel

Lookin Great Sister Billie, keep it up, hope all is well for you and yours!!!

Posted by: b_reed23

chest/back/traps
decided to try a max lift on bench today...felt very weak

Bench 105x0, 95x1, x1, x1
machine flys 60x8
assist. pullups -90x10
machine rows 90x8
db pullovers 35x12
HISE shrugs 60x12
10m walk

I am thinking about changing to a 2 day upper/lower lifting routine....it just seems like by the time the end of the week gets here, I just don't feel like going to the gym...lol....work/the heat is killing my energy lately...I figure I can ride my stationary bike an extra day or two....what does everyone think?

no big plans for the weekend.....getting a massage tomorrow and spending the rest of the day with Cody's Mom...it's her birthday. We will probably spend Sunday on the water

Posted by: Pylon

You change would be good if it keeps you active and energized. What is your goal right now?

Posted by: Archangel

Sister Billie, I think a 2 days a week routine would be beneficial for you, here is a general guidline for ya, hope it helps!!!

Session 1

One compound chest movement
One compound back movement
One compound or isolated shoulder movement
One triceps movement
One biceps movement

Session 2

One compound leg movement
Leg Extensions
Leg Curl OR Stiff-legged (Romanian) Deadlifts
Standing Calf Raises
One abdominal movement

Posted by: Fitgirl70

You'll be fine with that Billie. And I so know what you mean by not wanting to go to the gym by the end of the week.

Posted by: b_reed23

honestly...I haven't set any goals for myself...I'm pretty much just maintaining what I have right now...if I lose a couple of pounds, it would be ok...I've just been into doing cardio lately because it gives me energy...and don't get me wrong..I LOVE lifting weights..but after Wednesday/Thursday I just don't have the motivation to go after work!! I think I will go with a 2 day HIT thing for a while...I like Archy's plan...but I'm not sure it will work my muscles enough...is it HIT or something else??

Posted by: Archangel

Trust me, it will work them Plenty!!! Try doing a rest/pause on the compound exercises only, the rest are 1 set to failure!!!

Posted by: Pylon

Never doubt the work level of HIT...or Archie, for that matter. I think you'll be fine with it.

Posted by: b_reed23

i have no doubt that Archy knows his shit, but I think I will try my regular HIT for a few weeks and then I will think about Archys...

do I still do a 3 second rep cadence on that workout Arch??

did a 20m walk today and also an hour bike ride.

Posted by: b_reed23

Sister Billie, Your doin Great imo, and whatever you decide I know you'll be just fine!!!
Yes the rep cadence is still the same.........................Unless..............

You wanna try a 4/1/2/1 rep cadence, I'll tell ya its a PAIN, but I LOVE IT!!!

Posted by: b_reed23

so with a rest/pause I would do 1 set, rest for 10sec. and then do it again with the same weight? I'm thinking of trying this because the uppers routine we did was WAY too much volume for HIT!

Posted by: Triple Threat

Posted by: b_reed23

I need to update for 2 days!

Monday was just a 20m walk
Today was Archy's workout suggestion for the upper/lower split, but we just did 1 rest/pause to get the hang of it...we will add the 2nd next week.

pec deck 60x14 r/p x9
machine rows 90x10 r/p x5
mil press mach. 60x10 r/p x4
preacher curl mach. 40x11 r/p x5
rope press 60x10 r/p x6

20m eliptical!

we really liked the rest/pause workout....seemed to give us a better pump than regular HIT

THANKS ARCHY!!!

Thats what I've been doing and I enjoy it...I do 3 rest pauses and man it is AWSOME! Nice and slow plenty to get the fibers going and def hits the CNS!

lowers!!
Leg press 260x12 r/p x4
leg ext. 60x12 r/p x6
leg curls 50x12 r/p x6
standing calves 80x13 r/p x7
powercrunch 25x10 r/p x6

powercrunch 25x10 r/p x6

10m walk/jog .60 miles

Yea so like on this workout it should have looked something like this:

Leg press - set r/p set r/p set
leg ext. one all out set to failure (true failure)
leg curls one all out set to failure (true failure)
standing calves one all out set to failure (true failure)

Now that workout should go pretty fast...do your leg presses 10 seconds r/p another set 10 second r/p another set then right from there you jump into the leg ext w/ an all out set to failure then right from there jump into the curls and so on. After your major movement it should be like one big superset. The entire time keeping a good cadence and strict form!

Its suppose to go rest pause on the compound movements and all out set of failure on the isolation work.

I've included a pic...but I have makeup on over it, so you can't really see how bad it is....check it out!

2 months ago, and I've still got a slight black eye...should it take that long to heal?

Posted by: Burner02

wow...now that's a bruise I'd be proud of! Sounds like u had a great time!
Weren't you wearing eye protection?
There was a pic?????

So...you're summer is going pretty good then?

found it!
hey...you weren't smiling! Didn't anybody say CHEESE!before they took the shot???
I mean really...even when the cop took the evidence pic of my face all sliced open from my attack..I managed a smile...

Posted by: Fitgirl70

No sweetie, it shouldn't take that long to heal unless the impact really tore away some muscle or unless if bruised the bone.
Did you go to the doctor?

Posted by: katt

Yeah, I was going to say, , you sure you didn't have a slight fracture there??

Posted by: Burner02

hey! What they said....forgot to answer myeslf...
have you gone to see the doc?

Posted by: b_reed23

hopefully will go see him this week....we went away for the weekend and on the way back hit a big pitbull, so now I have to take my car in for estimates

will be back in the gym this week...I've been slacking...I've had so much stress from moving, and work that I havent' felt very good...I'm thinking about changing jobs....I dont know!!!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Oh my gosh billie. What happened, did the dog run out in front of you guys? I hope you had a good weekend before that!

I'm here if you need to talk. Hope you get lucky on the job front.

Posted by: katt

That's sad

I dont like it when that happens... and I get equally as mad at the owners that let there pets run rampant

Posted by: Burner02

Hey B!
how is the dog? did it make it?
Guess I need to read more...you moved?
What kind of job are you looking to move into?

Posted by: b_reed23

the dog died...instantly I guess, it ran out of nowhere into the road...no collar, no tags...

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I'm sorry about the dog sweetie! I hope you're doing okay?

Posted by: katt

I feel sorry for the dog, but there was nothing you could do...

That happened to us also, a while back, but with ducks.... the mother was taking her "line" of ducklings across the highway to the river,,, well, I came around the corner and "BAM" there they were - no time to swerve or stop.. I cried for a long time after that happened.

Posted by: Burner02

sorry that happened, but it at least it sounds as if it did not suffer.

Posted by: b_reed23

the only things that suffered were my car.....and my ego

got to the gym today...

inc. Db Bench 20x15, x6, x4
assist. pullups -90x8, x4, x3 I need these with a wider grip that normal....I think my arms are too short to use the pullup machine

h.s. mil. press 35x8
upright rows 35x8
rope curls 70x8
rope pressdown 60x8

I've decided to do my abs 2 times a week...one weighted, one non-weighted...

leg raises x10, x4, x3

20m walk, 1.10 miles

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Nice workout B! Oh speaking of pull-ups, I have a question. Can someone tell me what the development differences are between a close grip pull up and a wide grip pull up, please?

Don't think your arms are too short sweetie, mine are short too.

I've been doing assisted pullups too, but I didn't know why my trainer was having me use the inside grip instead of the wider one????

Oh -- uno momento! Maybe the shorter arms is why I'm doing a closer grip???????

Posted by: DeadBolt

Different grips activate different muscles in the back. Wide pullups gear more towards width narrow grip gear more towards thickness (thats getting really crazy though) For the average person just trying to stay fit it is just a good change of pace to keep the muscles growing and progressing.

B hows it going?!?! Killed a dog eh...eh it wasn't your fault cheer up! I run geese over all the time in my truck. They are like roaches around here and destroy our cars!

Looks like your kickin ass in the gym!

Posted by: Burner02

yeah...but she wasn't actually AIMING for the dog...geese killer!

but yeah...what DB said. Just try varying your grip every here and then...or every set you do.
I've started wide, then brought them in, then went wide again...

Posted by: DeadBolt

I mix it up wide under hand BB row and close grip overhand pulldown has given me to the best results! When I was aiming for some width I was doing everything widegrip and underhand and it did wonders...could really see the difference! But now one widegrip underhand and one close grip overhand is a nice even mix that gives me great results!

Posted by: b_reed23

you guys are great! I ended up with $1400 of damage to my car!

!!!!!!!!!!

to answer DB...I use to do underhand grip all the time with rows and pullups, but for the last 6-8 month I've been having pain in my wrists when I do it, so I've avoided it!

I did 45 minutes on the bike yesterday, 8.7 miles! I worked legs today, will post workout later

Nice...don't worry B, you'll be right up there with Katt in no time!!!

Oh, I was going to tell you, when you get that Atro-Phex in, be sure to start with only 1 twice per day to assess your tollerance (it's pretty potent).
When I started on it, I started with 1 and then in about 3 or 4 days I went to 1 1/2, then another couple days I went to 2. I'm still doing 2. You can up all the way to 4....I can't imagine what I would feel like on 3, much less 4!!!

Posted by: Burner02

hey you!
You got a new job? Doing what?

Posted by: DeadBolt

Great job sweety!

Hey question for you ladies! I know you guys have tried ALOT of supps and such. I was wondering if ya'll have tried any that have acytually work w/ aiding in fat loss and increased energy? Being my cals are very low and I'm working so damn much I need something to help me get an edge. Was curious what you ladies have taken before and which ones work and which ones were BS?

Posted by: Burner02

I'm no lady....but have you tried any sports drinks prior to lifting?
I'm absoloutely hooked on Monster every drink...it's my liquid crack...it gets me up and moving in the am. The blue can only has 6g of sugar in the whole can.

Have you tried Spike Shooter? Read the label....then give it a while...

fat loss? I dunno....Tam likes the Lipo 6. I'm trying it now...dunno...of course...we know my track record for working out...

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I've found 2 - and only 2 that I'm living, breathing proof of! While it's true that you ABSOLUTELY have to watch your diet and get that workout in -- these are the two I will swear by!

IM Labs -- Lean Fuel Extreme
and
BSN - Atro-Phex

And trust me, I've tried it all: Lipo6, Hydroxycut, Adipokinetix before it was taken down, Red Line, Ripped Fuel, Trim Spa, Accelis, Slim Quick, Nano Slim,and even TIGHT.

Those two are the only ones that I've ever found that really and truly do what they say they're going to do. And like I said before in my journal, I really am liking BSN's Cheaters Relief too.

Posted by: Burner02

now you tell me....I'ev gotten the lipo6 'cause u said it worked!

Posted by: DeadBolt

I will look into lean extreme...always wanted to take it but never bothered. Thanks for the info!!!

Posted by: b_reed23

15m on bike Friday...but didn't get my leg workout in....I had to work Saturday, and the heat made me sick....it's been close to 120 degrees in the shop, and you can't even breathe

I will try to do better next week, but weather is still calling for hot and muggy
