Good stuff Katt even if you take forever to post pics.

Posted by: SamEaston

You should just take pics of someone else and post them.

'Oh yeah . . . . . that's my . . . emm . . . . butt . . . . yeah. . . . . '

Don't encourage them Katt. You take pictures when you're good and ready

Posted by: Triple Threat

Posted by: soxmuscle

Same goes with the pictures I was planning on taking.

You think I'm going to take pictures when after I hurt my shoulder and couldn't workout for a week?

Just wait until your ready, even though you'll be hawt whenever you choose to post them.

good shoulder work out, katt

got a question for ya. the seated side lateral, do you use a machine or freeweights? see, i want to start adding shoulders back in to my routine but i don't want to hurt my shoulder again.

thinking about the seated side lateral machine vs. lateral free weight raises. i need to give my delts a workout with out putting a lot of strain on them that a straight-armed lateral deltoid raise would

any ideas? is one better than the other?

I don't use the machine at our gym.. I'm only 5'4" and the machine doesn't adjust at all and my arms keep slipping out when I raise it up

So I just use freeweights.. I like doing them standing, but seated makes me do them really strict.

The machine may be a good idea for you.. How did you hurt your shoulder the first time? You could just start off with the basic presses also..

Nice DB....

Posted by: katt

Cardio last night - 45 minutes on the treadmill - 3.7- 4.1 for the speed and incline varied between 4 and 6

Today - seriously,,,I can't even put into words how exhausted I feel.. last night when I just had to lay down by 8:30.. my body felt like a 200 lb weight ... I really just pretty just fucked myself .. this will be my 5th low carb day and it is really evident.. I wasn't thinking..

So strategy for next week... High carb on Sunday and Thursday.. low/no carb between... lets see if that levels things out a bit.

Legs today - my squats pretty much sucked,, started out good, but lost all strength in the second/third sets and the tri-set just wiped me out.. literally

Front Squats (75) 1x10 (85) 1x8, 1x7

V-Squat machine (144) 1x10 (194) 1x10 (214) 1x10
I feel the weights on this are the same as using the smith machine,, the resistance weight of the machine itself is 54 lbs.. so my 144 is basically putting 45's on ea side.

Tri set LF Leg Exten/LF Leg Curl/ HS Calf Raise
(165) 1x10 (65) 1x10 (45) 1x15
(180) 1x10 (70) 1x10 (45) 1x15
(190) 1x8 (80) 1x8 (45) 1x15

Done for the day... spinning tomorrow. I did get a heart monitor, so I will be able to check my rate to make sure I'm not burning muscle while I'm in there..

Posted by: Scarface30

I don't know how you can do it katt, all those low carb days. my apatite has been quite insatiable lately!

great workout those, you have some killer trisets in here

As always, a very solid workout, katt!

I've a very finely cultivated reputation for not dieting or doing cardio and just being a fat-ass, but I started doing the treadmill 2 weeks ago. I'm so far behind you. I do a 2 degree incline at 3.8 MPH for 30 minutes.

But I'll catch up to you yet!

Oh, and I've dropped 6 pounds in the last 2 weeks.

I really do hate cardio though. It's just not right. I think Hitler made the Jews do that.

Posted by: Brutus_G

Well good job girl you went in that gym and lifted your ass off thats what i like to see. You may want to consider caffeine pills.

Posted by: katt

Today was spinning... I went and got a heart rate monitor because I was afraid I was going over the 85% and I was right! I had to really hold back today to keep it at 85 or under..

I asked one of the trainers about it and she said if I was fatigued my heart rate would be high in the class... something about the way my body handles the lactic acid buildup..

I didn't sweat nearly as much, but I guess it was good... you just want to give it all you got when your in there... competitiveness I suppose??

you change up your diet and cardio and the weight drops... while I'm sitting here struggling and just losing 3 lbs so far...

But,,,,, I guess I don't want to give up my boobs yet.... so it's ok

I agree with you on that one!

Christ, you sound like you're killing yourself in here with all this low carb carry on. Are you sure its doing you any good - what with all the cardio you're doing? I just couldn't survive on low carb. That feeling of total weakness in the gym is something i hope i never have to go through again

Good on you though - the boobies are definately worth a few extra pounds

Posted by: katt

Yeah Sam,, I think just the 5 days straight is what put me in the shitter... I had a high carb day yesterday and will have another one on Thursday to see how that works.. all trial & error...

I really don't like that feeling of not having any strength either, it sucks.

doing dips after you've worked your triceps is just hysterical... no strength

I don't know why the OH extensions were easier today.. crazy..

Oh well... spinning tonight... burn the fat baby,,, burn the fat...

Super strong workout Katt...have fun spinning!

Posted by: Archangel

Lookin good Sister Katt, keep it up!!!

Posted by: katt

ok spinning last night.... BIG difference when you go in there and are not as fatigued as I was on Saturday.. didn't have as much of an issue in keeping my heart rate at the 85%..

Today..pullups..

they are not that bad, I need to do them, but since they replaced all our equipment.. the pegs are a good 5-6 inches higher than before.. even with the stool I use to reach them I still have to jump a bit... lol

Pullups 1x3, 1x2, 1x2 + 2 negatives

One Arm DB Rows (50) 1x10 (55) 1x10 (60) 1x10

Rack Pulls (155) 1x6 (175) 1x6 (185) 1x8

Hammer Curl (27.5) 1x10 (30) 1x9, 1x8

1 arm preacher (22.5) 3x10

I had to up the weights on my hammer curls today.. no smaller weights were available..

and on the rack pulls, I set the bar right below my knee caps and they seemed much easier.. usually the bar is set an inch or two below.. amazing what that little bit of space does for you.

So our barbell horders at the gym,.. they pretty much were in front of the racks that held the 5 - 27.5 lb dumbells.. and they do the standing swinging side laterals (you know, you've seen them,, bent down to about a 45 degree angle and swing the db's up over your head

) They were so close to the rack that you dare not try to put any weights away, let alone grab any...
At one point I caught myself just staring... thinking

No cardio tonight - dance....oh yeah, I had to get some volleyball type knee pads because we are learning how to slide & spin on the floor on our knees...ok,,, my knees are totally boney.. ouch..

ok, so you're doing one-arm DB rows with 60lbs but only doing sets of 3 on your pullups? i'll bet you could do more! i dunno, maybe i'm just misreading your w/o?

yes, i hate those dudes that hog the DBs. ESPECIALLY when their form is bad and they force everyone to watch them hog the DBs WITH bad form...

Im the same Katt. Are you improving on them at all, because you're doing them every week, right?

I've started doing them about 4 times a week, just trying desperately to improve. Which makes me wonder if my technique isn't great . . . . hmmm

I will definitely keep them into our back workout from now on. I think I'm improving.. it's more of a mental block for me right now probably.. The other half does this thing when he gets to the last ones... he pulls himself part way up and then kinda does a "jerk" type motion to get himself all the way up to the bar... That,, I haven't mastered yet..

Posted by: katt

Day off today.. I can totally tell it's 3rd no carb day.. last night I was feeling pretty good,, this morning I feel like my body has 30 extra pounds that I'm trying to drag along..

My arms are super tired.. last night we were practicing "freezes" in class.. where you hold your body up by your hands balancing your elbows on your thighs and/or side of your torso...

super tough...

Slept through my alarm this morning. Have no remembrance of the 5:30AM wake-up call I set. Does that ever happen to you?

I base it on 50/30/20 Arch.. p/c/f.. then I have two higher carb days in the week. But I'm still tweaking it a little each week. The only complex carbs I have each day (excluding high carb days) is 1/2 cup oatmeal.. maybe I'll throw in 1/2 c of brown rice, but it's mainly protein and vege's... Then on the higher carb days I'll ad a bagel and yams.

What's the Body Opus?

Posted by: katt

Today's wo

DB Press (30) 1x10 (32.5) 1x10 (35) 1x10

DB Front Raise (20) 1x10 (22.5) 2x10 - they are starting to burn

Seated Side Lateral Raises (12.5) 1x10 (15) 1x10 (17.5) 1x8

Reverse Pec Dec (50) 1x10 (55) 1x10 (60) 1x8

Shrugs (140) 1x10 (160) 1x10 (170) 1x8

all in all this workout felt pretty good

Higher carb day today - bagel and a yam ... yum...

Posted by: SamEaston

Yummy yams

Nice pressing, esp on the front raises! Do you ever do them with a plate? I changed to plate raises and it killed my forearms!

Good job on keeping the diet in check, its tough but im sure it'll be worth it in the end. How long till your holiday now?

I used straps for the last set jailhouse. I do them on a Forza machine(it's basically a machine for doing SLDL's) , while TOH uses the oly bar.

Cool, it won't be long in creeping around though - the way the weeks are wiring in!

You'll look great for the show, but of course the lads will be expecting photographic evidence of this, not just TOH's word for it!!

Last night was cardio 45 minutes on the treadmill. basically it was 2-3 minutes running at 4.8 mph and a minute walking to get my heartrate back down to below 85%.. I threw in some incline walking also.

Today was legs

Front Squats - wu w/bar (75) 1x10 (85) 1x10 (95) 1x5

V-Squat machine (195) 1x10 (214) 1x10 (224) 1x10

Tri set - LF Leg extensions/LF leg curl/ HS Calf raise

(165) 1x10/ (65) 1x10 /(45) 1x15
(180) 1x10/ (70) 1x10 / (45) 1x15
(190) 1x8

(80) 1x10 (45) 1x15

Damn it!!

The last set of leg extensions started out so good, I was like "yeah, I can get 10".. but at the 7th one I was changing my mind.. oh well, there's always next week..

Well, after the higher carb day yesterday, I could tell a little difference in how tired I was.. granted I'm still dragging, but nothing like last Friday - YAY!

Tonight is "date night" dinner at a great Italian restaurant...

mmmm I love cheat meals.....

Back to the regular diet today.. It was funny, after our big dinner on Friday night, topped off with a stop at DQ for a blizzard, I stepped on the scale Saturday morning and was 2 pounds less than I was the day before.. go figure.. I guess I needed that boost for my metabolism..

Great workout Katt - guess the refuel did you good huh?!

Just out of interest, when you're cutting, do you still train to failure or do you stop one rep short?

It varies on my mood Sam.... lol.. most of the time I just do the 10's on the first 2 sets.. then the last set I usually fail before 10.. but, somedays when I'm just not "feelin it".. I'll slack.. lol

lucky! you've got little weights to help you get to the next level?? our gym doesn't keep the little 2.5 or 5lb weights to rest on top of the 10 and 15lb plates. it makes it really hard to make a jump up to the next weight level. they had 'em before but someone was telling me that the owner of the gym took them away...

Another spinning class tonight.. I think I'm going be diligent in sticking with my original Monday & Saturday plan for this.. Since I did the class yesterday also, tonights session was really hard. I couldn't get me heart rate up where it was suppose to be because my legs were still too tired from yesterday's class.... that'll teach me..

Posted by: b_reed23

we always gotta learn our lesson the hard way don't we??

Posted by: SamEaston

That's funny, i always find it the opposite. The more fatigued my legs are, the higher my heart rate goes even with less rpm. I have to admit though, any cardio sessions following a leg workout are liable to be cut short

Good on you for sticking with it. How long is the class? Dont tell me its an hour - i would just DIE!

Today 's wo

Try doing some holds in the contracted position for as long as you can and then do a slow negative, that shold help with your strength, or at least I'm hoping it does in mine, LOL!!!

I've been meaning to ask, and this really does seem like a totally retarded quesion but - what exactly do you do in a spinning class?

breakdancing moves.. lol

No, it's an hour of stationary bike riding.. sprinting, ladders (spinning as fast as you can, standing up & jogging w/increased tension, then cranking the tension up all the way until you can barely move it) all in 20 - 45 - and 1 minute intervals... then you take a 30 second or 1 minute break while still pedaling... then you start all over again. Sprinting kills me,, you have to lean forward and have you butt about 2 inches over the seat and those are 20- 45 and 1 minute intervals also..pedaling as fast as you possible can...its like stand up, sit down, stand up,,,,

It burns the hell out of your quads...

Yeah, not very exciting though.. I usually bbq up a large batch of chicken/turkey, a big container of rice and we just eat that throughout the week.. our dinners are just salad & protein.. Except for the cheat meal, though,, then I can go hog wild..

another solid leg-day! are you and TOH supersetting on that tri-set? it'd be easier to hold down that many places with two people rotating than just one, huh?

Spinning today - I had a rough time keeping my heartrate under 85% today.. probably a combo of being tired from the previous week, plus the instructor was going balls to the wall today...

sprints, jumps, ladders, climbs.. I thought it would never end...

Brilliant leg day Katt - christ, the low cals would wipe me out after leg day. I don't know how you can do spinning after a session like that either - i mean, 15 minutes yeah maybe, but an hour, dearie me . . . . call me an ambulance . . . . *gasp*

Great leg day katt. Especially on the Front squats. Great job.

Spinning last night... I'm trying to hit Monday's & Saturdays.. I have to say, with the dieting I'm doing, that class is getting harder and harder... I'm getting more fatigued after each class..

Posted by: katt

Pullups bw - 1x4 + 2 neg, 1x2 + 2 neg, 1x1 + 2 neg

One Arm DB Rows (50) 1x10 (55) 1x10 (60) 1x10 last set w/straps

Rack Pulls (175) 1x6 (185) 1x6 (195) 1x6

Hammer Curl (27.5) 1x10 (30) 1x10 (32.5) 1x5

1 Arm Preacher (22.5) 1x10 (25) 1x10R/9L 1x5

All in all it went better than I expected given how tired I felt this morning. The one arm rows I was fully expecting not to use straps this time, but it didn't happen. Rack pulls felt good today, pretty strong.

By the time I got past the hammer curls I was spent and after the first two sets of preachers I just couldn't push any more.. I was done..

Low Carb day again... the only thing I'm eating besides protein, veges and a tad bit of evoo.. is my half cup of oats ..

Tomorrow morning is a day off - YAY - but we probably will do cardio tomorrow night.

so how is the carb cycling working out for you, katt? is it pretty rough? and what's evoo?

rack pulls are looking good!

Posted by: katt

I guess I watch the food network too often ..

evoo is extra virgin olive oil.. I sometimes use sesame oil too.

The low carb thing is good until about the 3rd day, then I'm just drained.. but, it seems to be working great for the fat loss.. I'll know next week when I get another bodycomp test done, and see how far I've progressed in a month.
