Yeah you lie face down,,, my knee is on the seat pad and my chest on the upper portion of the incline bench and you raise your arms parallel .... is that what you meant?
|

|
yahtzee!
![]() now...if only we could get a bench cam...that would be...super... ![]() |
No,, I really do...
I was so hungry....
The first two sets are good, then you get to the third and it's ... damn,,this is heavy!! |
good morning!
think the ewight thing was mental? You did 95 w/ ease...maybe psyched yourself out a little w/ the extra weight? The rest looks great though! |
the minute I had it up, my elbows started to shake and I thought "oh shit"
|
Yeah probably the mental thing kicked in..

I still put it up....but dam...that mental link is important!

The BBQ was awesome yesterday afternoon.... I had 2 hamburgers!!!
I was so hungry....Today was another day of.... "I should have started lower".. The first two sets are good, then you get to the third and it's ... damn,,this is heavy!! Bar Incline Press (85) 1x12 (95) 1x12 (115) 1x4 immediately dropped the weight (105) 1x6 Flat Bench (85) 1x12 (95) 1x12 (115) 1x7 DB Incline Flyes (25's) 1x12 (30) 1x12 (32.5) 1x12 Skull Crushers ss w/ CG Bench (40) 12/12 (50) 12/12 (55) 11/3 pause 3 All in all it went well,, it's just hard to get adjusted to the higher reps still. Cals for today 1585, 47% pro/35% carb/18% fat |

Nice one Katt!
God, looking at your cal intake makes me hungry! I think it's only about 50kcal lower than mine at the moment - and its damn tough! Are you seeing any progress in terms of your bf% yet? |
|
Superb workout. Skullcrushers particuarly excellent. I was looking at your leg day from the previous workout, and it was making my eyes water - looked pretty damn hard!!
|
|
high volume all the way! as were all your other workouts, but still...great job!
|

Always incorporate Life Fitness and Hammer Strength products into your workouts.
I'm just kidding, of course. The company I work for owns them, but I do like the Hammer Strength Chest Presses at my gym a lot. |
|
Haha...We do have Hammer Strength also... we try to vary them each time between dumbells, bar, Hammer Strength & Life Fitness..
The only thing I don't like about our Hammer Strength bench is that the bench is so small that I have to have a stool at the end to put my feet on, because I'm so short..... if I don't, my back arches just trying to reach the ground.. haha I like the incline press machine though |
|
Thanks Scar for the constant encouragement.. today was not a great day for me.... I appreciate it!
|
|
It's all good Scar..... I only had a day, that's not bad
Tonight was 50 minutes on the treadmill, incline at 4 - 6, speed at 3.3 -3.6 I need to get new headphones for my ipod... that go louder... or maybe I'm just getting deaf . ![]() |
|
Wow, 50 minutes is a long time to be on the 'mill. Do you not feel like doubling the speed and halfing the time, for for the same result?
Good job Katt. If you're getting deaf, just bring a ghettoblaster in with you to the gym. I leave mine on top of the treadmill and play "walk of the valkyires" at full volume. People love it. ![]() |
Cals are the same as yesterday, with an extra ww bagel & almond butter thrown in.. I honestly don't think I could get through the leg wo tomorrow if I don't up them today
|
Incline treadmills are a great way to own those calves. Try decline running and i bet your thighs will be very sore the next day.

Calves?? Here I thought it was good for my butt..... Great,,, I'll have a fat ass and big ole' calves... great....

hey Katt!
Great to see your numbers are still amazing! Do you also find that, when you restrict calories after a period of above-maintenance cals, that your body burns off cals at a higher rate than normal for a week or so? It's just that i had a couple of weeks there where i was at home, then at a conference so wasn't really watching what i was eating, then when i got back and dropped cals to 1600 again, i was burning fat like crazy. Do you get that? |
and this week I've been hungry every single day, except for yesterday when I threw in an extra bagel (which I only ate half of
) but today, I feel better, still tired, but better. I can definitely see that it's working...
I've had my days.
|
Totally get it. I can definitely feel the low carb days in training now..
and this week I've been hungry every single day, except for yesterday when I threw in an extra bagel (which I only ate half of ) but today, I feel better, still tired, but better. I can definitely see that it's working... The only part I get frustrated with is the vege bloat you get.. I mean I LOVE fresh vege's and don't have any problem eating them, I just hate the bloat... ![]() |
|
I hear you. In the same boat. Definately takes something off the top in terms of energy on low carb. I try to balance it out with STRONG Espressos before working out and it works ok. However it does have the side effect of making you feel and move like Diego Maradona after a session of Columbia's finest nose candy.
|
|
I bet! I've pretty much cut out coffee,, until recently, it's only a cup or maybe 2 a day during the week..
I'm totally hooked on the pre-workout energy supps though.. We just ordered more.... I think I'm going into withdrawls.. ![]() |

I HAVE to have my Monster...(blue can) I now prefer it to coffee....
I do miss my liquid clenbutrx though... (WARNING...BURNER'S CLIMBING ON HIS SOAP BOX!) Gotta love idiots in pposition of authority: Alcohol related deaths in the US are staggering...but booze is LEGAL. Cigarattes (sp) causes cancer...costs taxpayers millions in medical costs...but they are...LEGAL.... Ephedrine (products), steroids, enhancers to help one achieve his or her personal goals of fitness are....ILLEGAL... OH MY GAWD...a 'few' friggin idiots who cannot read a label that says...DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN XXX PILLS IN 24HOURS....and take 2-3 times that...and DIE...the rest of us suffer from it. ri-gall-dam-diculous. (BUner is now getting OFF his soap box) that is all. thank you, have a nice day. |
|
Hey Katt! Still rockin' I see. Great workouts.
I think the Hammer Strength incline press, while in no way can work the stabilizers like free weight, is still an awesome machine. Probably my favorite machine. |
|
im the ring master
![]() |
That'll do.
Can't believe you're starving and still putting out 135lb on squats for 10. Shit, you're good! |
|
Whoops I meant fishnets...I'm so dyslectic sometimes.
Sam, I had two factors going for me when we worked out though,, one was I had a high carb day the day before and 2, we worked out after I got off work vw early morning, so I had food in me On the 135's I asked the other half "did I go down far enough" because I didn't think I went quite to parallel... and he said "they looked as good as your last set".... to which I said.. "so my last set looked like shit??" ![]() |
|
It's ghettoin' along just fine, thanks...
I kinda like having a butt now... I never used to until I started squats.. ![]() |
|
How do you do negative lunges?????? Just stay down as long as you can??
|
|
No really, it's all a joke... I'm really a 85 lb weakling... on crack
|
|
BTW....NOICE on the 50's for benching! Loved to have seen that!
|
|
So you are off cycle, on a cut and still moving up in weight? That is awesome Katt. You must be doing something right.
|
WHADDA MEAN I'M NOT LIFTING HARD ENOUGH????
WHADDA MEAN I'M NOT LIFTING HARD ENOUGH???? That's just what the other half said this morning.... ![]() |
then (22.5) 1x6
Who in the hell does another set of curls after you do forearms - that's just stupid..

|

Heya katt damn nice workouts!!!
I take it the cycle is over if your cutting up already. What was the outcome? Good gains? Did you enjoy it? |
Great strength gains, a little too fast because I started have pain in one of my elbows ...
I've lost 6 lbs so far, now I'm at this plateau. My strength is pretty much staying with me, so that's good! We're doing higher reps right now and I think it's giving my tendons a chance to heal ! Yay! |
Well, I gained 15 pounds...

Also we'll have the opportunity to do ALOT of cardio in the 10 days we are hunting! oh yeah,, I had to edit because I forgot to answer one of your questions.. did I enjoy it?? Hell yeah! It was awesome! |
|
Yeah, it'll be fun.. we have a new "plan" this year, haha.. we always make our game plan when we go, it's funny.. Hopefully we'll be successful, (knock on wood) because we need some meat in our freezer,,, it's looking pretty sparse in there right now!

heh...this coming from the lady who was pornalizing MINE?????
hiya katt! how'r the legs treating you today? |
yeah, funny!
|
Damn i want some venison! I love buffalo its the shit with cinnamon.
|
yeah, funny!My legs don't feel too bad, I didn't go really heavy on the squats and I think that's what saved me. Today we didn't workout - were supposed to do shoulders, but my whole body is hurting today,, just tired.. I didn't throw in a refeed day this week, so I think that has been my doom.. but I'm down another 1 1/2 lbs... |

|
cinnamon????? Now that's one I've never heard before.
I really don't like venison - but I love elk!! Yum!! We usually cook a nice backstrap over our campfire when we get one... now THAT'S the shit! |

|
so you hunt elk? what is the biggest one you've gotten before? just wondering because the biggest animal we have around here are moose, not saying they are small but just wondering in comparison.
|
|
I really don't know the weight,, the last bull we hauled out, quarters were around 60 lbs or so, maybe a little less for the front quarters. Not quite as large as a Moose, but close. I think all in all it was about 250 lbs all together that we packed out?? Maybe the other half can help me out with this one!
our biggest was a 6x7.. I think,, he was a big one.. the other half got the chance to get him though.... the elk was about 25-50 ft downhill from me in really nasty brush and then decided to changed directions and went to him.. We don't get many easy shots here,,, ALOT of underbrush, elders, etc to get in the way.. it's either close or about 200+ yrds away across a draw It's kinda like going to JI Go camp,, crawling on your stomach sometimes to get through stuff.. |
word...
|
No workout today - not until we come back from hunting on the 18th..
Lots of cardio... lots & lots. |

Alot of the days was just too hot, and they weren't moving. The last two days were better, we got some hail, rain and it was really cold.

... we have too many alders & brush here it makes it really hard to be quiet. The other half has spent so much time trimming trails to make it possible for us, but we're not done yet...
|
Hey Katt - love the photos, again it looks like a beautiful place, and if you didn't get to shoot anything, you must be completely chilled out after walking in such peaceful surroundings, no?
It's been such a long time since i hiked in a park like that. However im going this weekend with a friend to the Lake District in the UK, and we're going climbing - so that should be fun! So nice to have you back - i expect you're dying to throw some weights around? |
