I had to work late



but that's all I'm telling.. 

We have one more week of our 6-8 rep plan, then I'll have to seriously consider putting it in for the next go round
will have to finish up ham's, calves and cardio this evening... yup, yup.
|
how can you stand having to go back in and finish things? that would bug the crap outta me.
|

V-Day
and a healthy dinner so we can have a small desert
|
we went up to do our squats.. I took the bar and said "I'm going to try that clean/front squat/push press thing"... did it once... that's all I wanted to do today

Go for it!
|
I would think a woman doing combos would seriously freak out most of the gym population.
Go for it! |




|
This is our last week of this program.. this weekend we will be putting another routine together for the next 4-6 weeks.. we are thinking basically all compound movements in the 4-8 rep range

|
OMG... I am going to feel like such a lazy POS.. What the hell am I going to do with all my energy????????? |




I'll start with 60's next time

hey lady!
pretty good! I'm surrounded by buildings and far from ther perimeter...so I kinda forget I'm in a war zone...beyond the fact that I can't leave the area. Think I'm gonna get my schedule hammered out pretty soon. work 5, 12hour days w/ 2 off. Lift on work days....rest on off days. Gonna have to suck it up and actually DO cardio...daily. Start back slowly and hope the muscle memory starts kicking in... ![]() When I get my lap top sent off, fixed and sent back...will get some shots of the mountains here. They are magnificant! If we can get these ass-hats to stop trying to killing everybody in the name of Allah (which I personally think is blasphemy) these mtns could be developed into some great resorts! ![]() |

|
Whats your reasoning behind the change in routine?
I ask because with so infrequent workouts and barely no cardio, your goals (at least in the short term) had to have changed. |
I was a little surprised on the weight I could do.
|
Yeah, we are doing 14 days of Lyle McDonalds PSMF diet.. 12 days of basically no carbs and then two carb up days.. Lifting heavy as possible at the gym, but short workouts.. it's starting out good, but I can anticipate it's going to be brutal. After that I will go back to a normal cutting diet for a couple weeks and see where I'm at.

I'm part ninja. Like a thief in the night...I find the stuff!
![]() do u watch tv while on the tread mill? I get BORED after about 20 minutes of the same thing... |
|
I'm beginning to think we've stumbled upon your problem with the ladies.

below is the free weight area, so you can pass the time watching other people workout..
|
Add in the front squat you and you have a killer exercise. |
So..........you like the Clean and Presses
Add in the front squat you and you have a killer exercise. |
I think we are going to split it up on Wednesday (next workout) and do them separate. . I just feel that I wasn't getting enough weight for the cleans, and a little too much for the presses. 


|
no it's not my dog and it's not me.... just Burners idea of sick humor
![]() but it is kinda funny ![]() |
|
Today's workout definitely was a struggle after the cleans..
![]() Cleans (85) 1x8 (95) 1x5 (95-85) 1x3, 1x2 On the second set, I must not have had my left hand tight enough or something, cuz the bar just slipped out of my hand on the left side about chest high and hit my leg... now I have a nice "war wound" to show for it.. dork ![]() |


I have Sunday planned out (200 grms carbs) and Saturday (400-600 grms) - kinda/sorta right now.. tonight will be just some potatoes w/balsamic & salt and prob a little white rice with the protein.. 
but it feels good to be 'full' for once in 2 weeks.
|
ok so yesterday I broke down... not bad though. I was feeling extremely light headed,, brain was foggy.. no jokes plueeze..
Anyway, I ended up eating a cup of low-fat cereal around lunch time.. about a half hour later I was feeling better... went after work and did cardio and that was it.. I can see why not many people do this... it's kinda nuts.. hope it works ![]() |

).. the drinks just kill everything even if you're eating good.
I'm happy with the outcome so far,,, but I'm not quite there yet.... 
oh well, we'll get it next time.
|
We did just 2 sets of each today - as heavy as we can go.. but, unfortunately picking the starting weight is a toss up .. so some of the exercises we could have gone heavier..
oh well, we'll get it next time. |

I will probably opt for the turkey burger, but it's all the same when you're there.
but tomorrow I plan on shopping with my girlfriend for most of the day, so I'm sure there will be lunch or dinner somewhere, which will give me a little break.
If I had my pick, it would be PF Chang's or the Mustard Seed (Aisan). Yum


I swear I had to take a double look to make sure I wasn't hallucinating..
WOO HOO Only one more week to go before my repreive!! I think I'll get another bodyfat test done to make sure I'm not losing lbm.

did a grocery store stop, then off to make food for next week.
|
I'm thinking so TT... he's looking pretty slim
![]() Today's Full body Leg Extensions (180) 2x8 that was as much as I could do today, I'm pooped did a grocery store stop, then off to make food for next week. ![]() |
|
Damn girl! look at the leg extensions
You prepare your food for the whole week? |
|
I try to.. I usually go shopping on Sundays at Costco for the vege's and grill up a bunch of chicken and turkey burgers and hard boil some eggs. It makes it easier during the week if you have it all prepared - just box it up and go !

They are the Kirkland brand.. 390 is the sodium per burger and 35 grms of protein - they seem to work for me.

Still on the reduced carb diet? If so, that could affect your gym performance.
|
It was TOH's fault!! He brought it home from a birthday party.... I just didn't wan't to waste it..
|
Oh not a doubt TT.. yeah, I am on a basically 'no carb' during the week, then on Sat and refeed with potatoes, rice, cereal..
Last saturday I had a piece of chocolate cake.. It was TOH's fault!! He brought it home from a birthday party.... I just didn't wan't to waste it..![]() |
ya like a held a gun to your head and made you eat it.
Hey stranger!
|
well...you can...but will be that much longer till you reach your goal...
|

but, then the brain kicked in and I thought "ahhhh,,,, no carbs"
Then the second set was easier.. and so on and so on....
so I put the pin back down to 72.5.
And you know it - I'm getting alot of relaxing time in while I'm there.... NOT! I know even if I want to - I can't sleep when I'm in Vegas...

We gained a few pounds while we were on vaca... too many good (or bad) places to eat and those coyote ugly slurpees... they are my death when we are there... it's either that or Fat Tuesdays.... so... if there is 600-800 calories in a large slurpee at 7-11....take that - add the alcohol..... and....
Dude... I was ingesting the calories.. ![]() Time to get back on tract and start cutting again.. it was totally worth it |


|
from yesterday's leg workout, everytime I got up from my desk today my quads felt like they were getting tighter and tighter.. I was worried if I didn't go do something I wouldn't be able to walk tomorrow..

probably because of the jogging.. The race is May 3rd, so after that I'm going to cut it down to one time a week at a leisurely pace.. the rest of my cardio will be on the treadmill or eliptical.
One more weight workout tomorrow morning then we are off to Seattle to watch the Emerald Cup bb & fitness comp.. yahoo!!
