Hey Lina!

How are your leg workouts going? It looks like you are stronger on the leg extensions than the leg curls, exactly the opposite of me!

Is that a lying leg extension or seated that you use? One suggestion I could make is to do your compound exercises first. I usually do squats, leg presses, lunges, then the isolation exercises like leg curls, extensions, then calves. I found that doing the lunges with dumbbells using a step or two from the aerobics classes really gets the hams pretty good. Range of motion is everything esp. when it comes to legs. Hope this helps

Have a great weekend!

it also looks as if you are paing more atention to your extensions than your curls. You did 3 straight sets for curls, but you went nutz on your extensions. maybe reverse it, or up the weight for less reps a couple weeks? Shake that up and make the curls the priority!

Hi jstar, Thanks for the suggestions... I like to do the curls at the beginning since they are my weakest link so I can be the strongest... I will have to try the step up Lunges... sounds like a good workout!

Hi Burner, where have you been? Playing vampire again huh? OK, will change things around!

Good ideas from you two!

hey!
Nope. No vampire....no victim right now....

What kind of knives did she sell you? I tried being a knife salesman way back when. Cutco cutlery. Good knives..very pricey.

I baked my chicken last night instead of BBQ'ing it. Not bad, but i need to get a wrack thing so they will not be sitting in fat that gets cooked out. Otherwise....I dun good! I had three thighs and some cottage cheese for dinner...then pretty much passed out. This cold I have is knocking me out. The lack of sleep sint' helping me, either. I will go to the gym this evening after this 12 hour shift, knock out my back (I'm actually looking foward to it, I bout some wrist claw things to help with my grip for when I move my deads and pull ups..)
maybe take a nap, thengo to the club...back to work sunday morning....

Burner, I do feel bad for you .... all those long hours, 2 jobs, exam... you are a definitely in need for rest... how many days do you workout? 6 days of cardio will only tire you out more...

Take it easy honey and hope your cold is bettah!

Oh, yes! Those knives were from Cutco! ...So if you came to my door you would have made a sale! We bought just the basic 4 knives for a whopping $140! ~~~ ~~~... Well I said 'no' to her first and she was getting ready to go, then hubby walks in the door from work and she shows him the demo where you cut the rope with the knife.... sold him on the spot... he has this thing for knives...!

oohhhh...TP is on yer case now......


I got the basic knives for my demos, plus the scissors. Did she show you those? Where you can cut through a penny? I hate cold calling, so barely made enough $$ to pay for my set...

I wish I did 6 days of cardio. I will be ramping up though...this damn cold...
I can't breathe....jeez, I'm taking cold meds, multi-vit, vit. A&e, Zinc...
I'm gonna sleep in tomorrow!

TP, my fiber is low since my carbs are low. Plus that meal where I had the emergency protein bar had no veggies or fruit.

Burner, I guess that 'cut the penny' is a standard pitch, eh? Do you have to buy all those knives to do your demos? I am know kicking myself for letting hubby buy them now... we can't afford those stupid knives! Please tell me they are worth it. Hope you are feeling better, load up the vit C!
