Well.. after our 6-8 week power program, then I'll start a serious cut again,, and stick to it!! Our 10th anniversary is next year and we're planning a vacation to somewhere with a warm & sandy beach... and I want to look super good by the time we have to put our swim suits on..



Posted by: SamEaston

That sounds amazing! What better motivation do you need than to look as good (or better, most likely) than you did 10 years ago.

Fantastic!

Plug 'em into Fitday.com, then copy'n'paste 'em in here. That way you have a backup (and it's free). Plus you can track your weight so you can see which programs caused which weight changes.

What if this whole site goes down someday!? Then what?

Anyway... 'sup Katt
Liver prob' cycle related?
Even if not, no more of that $hit pls!

It seems to take longer to get rid of colds this time of year than when it's warmer. So do you have to nurse the other half back to health?

Posted by: Pylon

Nice workload. Like Brut said, don't sweat the reps. Sometimes you just run out of steam. I've had it happen on days where I didn't think I had done anything out of the ordinary. You'll be OK.

I've gotten sick before...it's a good sign usually

how long did that last workout take? your kicking some major ass!!!!



Posted by: katt

The workout took us approx 45 minutes. I'm glad the change up is coming soon..

Today was a snowboarding day - and it was AWESOME!!!! over a foot of fresh powder, but it was snowing, windy & very cold... I only lasted 4 hours, after that my legs were fried!!! But it felt good!

The hot tub is going to feel really good tonight!!

Damn you! Damn You katt!!!! I have'nt made it up boarding yet, and it's killing me. Fresh powder too....all this is like twisting a barbed knife into poor goob's heart. That's it katt.....twist it a little more.

All the leg work in the world won't save you from brutalised legs and DOMS from hell after the first day boarding each year....

And he was getting his hopes up too. It's a lonely time of year for goats, and he was just needing some cheering up.

Goats have needs to katt. This is him at a party, just in case you change your mind...

i have some good halloween pics- i dont know if she posted any of them or not. all the other good pics will cost some serious cash if you want them posted.



Posted by: katt



Actually it's not that bad.... well, kinda,, you know, I let myself slip a little....

Ok, A lot.. My weight has been right at 140 since the end of my last cycle.. well I'm only at 143 this morning,,, so it's not that bad... I just have a visible layer of FAT that's getting to me, but now with tightening my diet, that should resolve itself in due time



Posted by: Fitgirl70

I hear ya Katt, I have a layer I need to get rid of too. I've been yo-yo'ing since my last IVF cycle in Feb of last year. I'd been hanging right around 130 and am at about 128 right now....there I said it and this isn't even my journal.

I would like to (short term goal) sit right around 120-123.

So why is it that I work with 10 dietitians and can't get my ass in shape?



Posted by: katt

Today's wo was good - I'm in the total mind set for a change up..!!

Flat BB Bench (95) 1x6 (115) 1x6 (125) 1x3

Close Grip Bench (55) 1x6 (75) 1x6 (95) 1x3
ss w/
Skull Crushers (55) 1x6 (65) 1x6 (75) 1x3

Db Kickbacks (15) 1x6 (20) 1x6 (22.5) 1x5 this last one was no rest between sets, just pick up the next db and go!! We were totally out of time!

Egg Whites & 1 piece WW toast after

Yeah, the last time I was down to about 15% I was sitting at 127.. I'm thinking with the increase in muscle, I would be around 130-132 maybe, but I'm not sure right now.



Posted by: soxmuscle

The difference between your post cycle weight (140) and your weight now (143) is a matter of gorging yourself on Christmas most likely. Blah, who cares, you'll be back to normal in no time.

Good workout, btw.

Well it could be worse you could be a guy wanting to use anavar that shit is just crazy expensive. Id love to see a log of clen on IM.

I second that.

no worries though, with workouts like that you'll be back to where you were in no time



Posted by: katt

Well, we had a cardio day of sorts yesterday,, snowboarding again. It was tough this time, wet snow the previous day that had frozen overnight made it difficult to navigate for the first hour.... At one point I had to take off my board and truck back up the hill because I thought I would seriously hurt myself if I went down it.... oh well

We'll be back at it on Monday with our "normal" workouts.. lol

sounds like some fun cardio!

Lat Pull Downs (90) 1x6 (100) 1x6 (110) 1x5

Chest muscles are still a little sore from yesterday, I almost forgot about that feeling
you continue to impress.



Posted by: katt

Today's wo - we started taking creatine and glutamine today.

Flat Bench (95) 1x7 (115) 1x6 (125) 1x4

Incline (85) 1x6 (105) 1x4 (95) 1x4

Incline Flyes - didn't do

Close Grip Bench (65) 1x6 (85) 1x6 (95) 1x4

Skull Crushers - didn't do

kick backs (17.5) 1x6 (22) 1x6 (25) 1x6

ok so today we decided that we were going to start fresh and do the workouts in order that I had posted previously. My chest was still a little sore, but I decided to do it anyway. Flat bench went ok, felt ok until the last set,, which was hard. When I got to the inclines and the second set, on the stretch down,, something just didn't feel right, it actually started to hurt,, so I went light on the last set. Moving to flys.. I picked up the 20's figuring it would be pretty light and I could manage it.... did one stretch down and knew it wasn't going to work, so I ditched it

Close grip bench, I was ok,, then on the last set I really started to feel sick... ditched the skull crushers and just did the kickbacks.. ..

So,,, now I can defintely feel a "dull pain" in the left side of my chest muscle... I think I need to take an asprin..

If I could thow out a whole lot of cuss words right now, I would,,, but it wouldn't make it any better...



Posted by: Scarface30

hey, there's nothing wrong with that workout katt! your benching is great..I think you're benching more than me on incline too!



Posted by: Pylon

Just a little overwork. No big deal. Get hydrated, get some glycogen in you, you'll be fine.



Posted by: katt

Yup - I was getting nervous for nothing.. it's still tight, but it'll be A-ok!

Dayum, some great workouts and numbers in here lately! I second what fufu said up there, youd give most guys i know a serious ass-whooping. Me included!



Posted by: b_reed23

those numbers are crazy! especially the cl. grip benching!



Posted by: goob

Great work katt. I love the way creatine gives you that little bit extra...



Posted by: SamEaston

Lookin good Kitty Katt - i bet you're pleased that the chest twinge didn't come to anything?! Christ, there's nothing worse than getting injured just when you're getting back into the swing of things.

You're numbers are mucho impressive. How are you finding the creatine? I just bought CEE to try for the first time - im hoping it'll give me that little bit extra too while doing 5x5



Posted by: katt

This is only our second day on Creatine,, so I really don't notice any difference yet..



Posted by: katt

Today's wo

Bar Curl (60) 1x6 (63 3/4) 1x6 (70) 1x4 -

ok so the 63 3/4... I couldn't find the other 2 1/2 lb magnetic weight, so I had to use a 2 1/2 and a 1 1/4.. damn losers that don't put the weights back...

Incline DB Curl (22.5) 1x6 (25) 1x6 (27.5) 1x5

DB Seated Curl (25) 1x6 (30) 2x4

HS High Row (ea side) (50) 1x6 (60) 1x6 (70) 1x6

Seated Cable Row (100) 1x6 (110) 1x6 (120) 1x6

Lat Pull Down (100) 1x6, (110) 1x1, failed (100) 1x4, 1x6 - wtf.??.I just had a hard time with this one

SLDL (70) 1x6 (80) 1x6 (90) 1x6

On the lat pull down I pulled on the 110, got one and on the next one I don't know what the hell happened, but I couldn't get a grip without my left hand hurting like hell... ok, so then I started getting mad..yeah yeah I know.. I'll ace it next time..



Posted by: b_reed23

the last time I used creatine I got nothing from it...no gain, no pumps, no nothing

your numbers are lookin good Katt...I'm sure you'll do better on the lat PD next time...sometimes when I do heavy weight my left shoulder gets a catch in it when I get close to extending..what were you having trouble with?

Just a pain in my left hand, kinda right underneath where your knuckles are.. I tried putting my straps on the bar, but that didn't help... maybe I was just being a tard.. lol



Posted by: Pylon

Might have pinched a nerve or something. Is it feeling better?



Posted by: SamEaston

Your hand is full of tiny bones too, is it possible you might have broken one of them?

Also, is it just painful when you grip something heavy or do you notice it all the time? I hope its better soon - theres nothing worse.



Posted by: goob

Good workout katt. You might have damaged your hand gripping all those, er.. poles. .....

Hey burner - how are your workouts going?????



Posted by: Burner02

heh...what?

I know...I know...I'm actually going today. AND...am gonna have to force myself to stay with weak, 'girly' weights. Why? well...
1) I need to break back into it easy and then buld up momentum
and B) I don't have much choice...man...I've lost most of my strength.

I've got 4 more 1/2 session w/ that PT I hired to see what he has to say.



Posted by: katt

Whats a half session??? 30 minutes???



Posted by: katt

ok so tonight we went and did cardio - 45 minutes on the treadmill, 3.4 - 3.9 speed, 4 - 5.5 incline.. my calfs still hurt from the leg workout on Saturday,,, I had my heels on all day at work and went to take them off when I was changing into my sweats and holy moses!! I just about yelled as my foot flattened on the floor,,, it hurt so bad!!!! lol



Posted by: b_reed23

Katt...I am so jealous of your weights on benching/inc. bench etc...SO jealous!!! about how long do your workouts take?

Thanks B

We only have about 50 minutes before we have to go.. we get there at 5 and we have to be out of there at the latest by 5:50 so I can get ready for work... so sometimes it's totally rushed..



Posted by: katt

To sum up this morning.... wholly fucking shit!! ok,, so I go out to start my car, it's all iced up this morning... hmmm.. drivers side door won't open,, lock broken??? hmmm... well, I know that I can't unlock the passenger side with the key, because it doesn't work.. hmmmm... ok, so this is a 1991 Geo Storm.. so I open the hatchback, climb in the back and start it up.. grrrr... 10 minutes later I go out to see if the locks had "thawed"... nope... I think the drivers side is definitely broken.... grrrr.... so in through the hatchback again and open the passenger side... yay! It opens...

I'm going to look like such a total tard getting out of my car from the passenger side this morning at work...

So today's workout...

Bar Curl (60) 1x6 (63 3/4) 1x6 (70) 1x1 (60) 1x4

Incline DB Curl (22.5) 1x6 (25) 1x6 (27.5) 1x4

Seated DB Curl (25) 1x6 (30) 1x5, 1x6

Hammer Strength High Row (ea side)

Seated cable row (90) 1x6 (110) 2x5

SLDL (95) 1x6 (105) 1x6 (115) 1x4

Lat Pull Downs (100) 1x6 (110) 1x6 (120) 1x4

I've done that before!
Worse part: I was in my highly polished military boots. Read: You spend a LONG time polishing to where you can see yourself with great detail in the shine...
so...try crawling thru the hatchback, over seats, gearshifts, etc and into place without 'scuffing' the polish. Oh...I was able to slam against the door when I got to the armory and get it to open. but yeah...

oh, and sorry...I meant 1/2 hour sessions.



Posted by: katt

So..... did you have to re-polish them after you got out of your car??? lol



Posted by: Burner02

nope! Scuff-free!
I gotz skillz, yo!



Posted by: Gazhole

Lol, sounds like bad luck with the car - but at least you kicked karma in the ass with a great workout

Screw bad luck!



Posted by: b_reed23

def. a great workout ( and no offense...a hilarious story )



Posted by: katt

Totally funny, huh..... it would have been a "classic" if I couldn't get the hatchback open also... lol



Posted by: Burner02

BTW: were there any profane words coming from your lips?

that little car get pretty good gas mileage?



Posted by: katt

Yes and yes!!!! great gas mileage... I love that car....(in the winter, that is) in the summer I bring out the eclipse from the garage... voom voom... not good gas mileage, but a kick in the pants... lol



Posted by: Burner02

nice.
I'm hoping for a good snow storm so somebody slides in and hits my ccar good enough to total it...

I always am thinking that also.... but then,,,, if I get hit, I'd probably be seriously injured... there's not much protection there.. lol



Posted by: Burner02

I've got the protection...
Actually, thought I had my perfect wreck this past summer. There I was...
Driving down a back road...actually going kinda slow...some knuckle head and his friend were playing 'fast and furious' in the on coming lane...lost control of the car, locked the brakes and came hurling at me sideways.
Now...I COULD have kept on going and turned to the left at the last second, he would have hit my right side, killing the car...Mike here would have been fine.
However...my danged sense of self-preservation kicked in...and I stopped the car...and said knuckle head came to a stop 10 feet in front of me.



Posted by: SamEaston

Nice rowing Katt, and incredible Lat Pull Downs!

Shame about your car though. I always had funny stories about my old bangers. Once, we were going round a roundabout and my exhaust fell off. We had to stop the car and walk back to the roundabout to get it. Oh the shame!

So how you doing? Happy with your progress on this program?



Posted by: the other half

this is her car.



Posted by: katt

ok, so everyone is going to look at your post and go... wtf??????

To clarify, we call it the yellow banana... lol



Posted by: the other half

and your point being?



Posted by: Scarface30

as mentioned before, shitty (yet funny) story.

great looking workout though, very nice lat pulldowns and cable rows

Posted by: b_reed23






hows it going today Katt?



Posted by: Gazhole

I wish i had a dancing banana

(Wait for the innuendos...)



Posted by: katt

Today's workout was supposed to be tomorrows ... but,, since we are boarding on Saturday the other half didn't want to be sore so we switched the workout to today.... But since I'm a 2 day lag for the soreness,, I'm the one that's going to be suffering and trying to turn my board on Saturday... I know,,, it's all about him... lol

Back Squats
warm up w/bar
(95) 1x6
(135) 1x6, 1x5.. I'm lowering my weight to work on form

Life Fitness Seated Leg Press
(255) 1x6
(295) 1x6, 1x6

super set w/
Life Fitness Leg Extensions
(150) 1x6
(165) 1x6
(180) 1x6

Deadlifts
(85) 1x6
(95) 1x6
(115) 1x4

Calf Raises (#7) 2x15, 1x11

We switched a couple of things, went with machines for presses & extensions because of time. The calf raises I went lower because they were still sore from last time.. I don't get that..

Deadlifts were hard.. I was going to lower the weight to work on my form, but I put my feet out a little farther with my toes pointed out and it seemed to work better than last time.
