i wanna rock HARD!

nikegurl · 09-23-2002, 12:30 PM

back at it again...frustrated by the lost time and decline in my condition but i'm picking up and going foward. i just tell me self that every day i do the right things i'll get closer to where i want to be.

i hit the gym thurs fri and sat very lightly. going back to the usual routine starting today.

i've decided to do a cut for 2 months and then really work on building muscle.

will log it all here.

nikegurl · 09-23-2002, 01:21 PM

here's the plan for the next 3-4 weeks.

6 meals:
1) 35P 25C 15F
2,3,4) 35P 5C 12F
5,6) 35P 15F

I'll carb up every 4th day like I did before.

DPW8 helped me with this the first time around - back in May and it really worked for me.

Training split will be:

Mon - Legs (using the 4 phase plan on W8s website)
Tues - Chest
Wed - Back
Thurs - Arms
Fri - off
Sat - Shoulders
Sun - off

Sometimes I end up wanting to go on Sundays so I may fiddle with this quite a bit.

Great to see you feeling better! We've missed you!!!

Good luck on your cut... we'll be watching

Adidas · 09-23-2002, 01:35 PM

Looks like I will have to stop in and see how you are doing. Good Luck Girl!

nikegurl · 09-23-2002, 01:38 PM

thanks butterfly and adidas! it feels good to at least be doing things to head in the right direction. will log my food later today. even getting enough water in which was always hard for me.

but i won't lie....i'm still dreading the 100 squats tonight!

Whatever you do don't focus on 100...think of it in sets of 25...much easier on your mental state of mind

Most of my workouts have sets totaling 75-100 and if I think of the total I am done before I start..lol

butterfly · 09-23-2002, 01:43 PM

I completely agree with Adidas!!! Just think of the 25... and it's only 4 sets... see how easy that is

nikegurl · 09-23-2002, 01:52 PM

you're both right! that's the only way for me to get through legs. i can't think about the whole workout or the next exercise. i have to go one set at a time and when it's done i look at the next one but no farther than that.

and if it isn't easy....i know i'll still get through and feel good about it when it's over!

dvlmn666 · 09-23-2002, 05:42 PM

just be careful.

but good luck. And glad to see your back at it and feelin better.

nikegurl · 09-23-2002, 05:49 PM

i hate being careful. lol. (but i will)

it is good to be feeling better. now i want to look better too!

nikegurl · 09-24-2002, 12:05 PM

i made it through the leg workout. barely. lol. i actually felt damn good when i left the gym. i think it was b/c i was satisfied with what i had done. the pain hasn't started yet - just the wobbles last night. soon they will kill. but i'd rather have leg pain than feel crappy for not doing what i set out to do.

(i say that now before the pain!)

here's what i did.

1 1/4 Lying Leg Curls
2 x 8 x 50
2 x 7 x 50

Squats
2 x 25 x 55
20 x 55
2 x 15 x 55

i really wanted to get my 100 reps in 4 sets. next time!

Good Mornings
4 x 25 x 25

Seated Calf Raise
2 x 20 x 35
2 x 18 x 35
2 x 15 x 35

So the leg hurtin yet? looks like you kicked some butt last night. good job

nikegurl · 09-24-2002, 05:02 PM

the pain has not yet begun....i feel enough to know that i trained legs. tomorrow morning i'm going to have a hell of a time climbing the stairs though! and i have to try very hard to hide it from my friends - they seemed to find it all a bit too funny last time!

funny - it's only 2 days that i'm back to eating right but i feel better mentally. i don't look any different (yet) but it feels good to know i'm heading the right way again!

Great seeing you back at it babe!

I know what you have a really strong willpower, when you get commited you're really in to it! And you know what us Nike's motto is: Just do it!

Kick some ass..

I`ve been telling you that for awhile now, but you keep refusing

Nice to see you back around ng

WHAT exactly is it that you want? A rock hard body? Stomack? D....?

nikegurl · 09-25-2002, 12:01 PM

hey - i have visitors! thanks guys.

kuso - all of the things you mentioned are nice to have. lol

legs are killing me from monday night. hard to train chest last night b/c it hurt to rest the dbs on my legs - seriously!

ng - thanks for the vote of confidence. i've been wondering where my discipline went b/c i KNOW it used to be here! i think i've got it back again but i hate that i slipped so much. you're right - i'm just gonna do it! one day after another and i'll get there.

nikegurl · 09-25-2002, 12:08 PM

well - i've lost plenty of strength (along with muscle)

i had been using the 40lb dbs for chest (db press) for 3 sets of 8 reps each. i've dropped to the 35s. may not sound like much of a loss but i know that it took awhile for me to go from the 35s up to the 40s before.

but i'll get there again and then keep going. i want to press the 50s! not sure why but i've always gotten stuck at the 40s - never gotten past them.

CHEST

DB Press
10 x 35
8 x 35
7 x 35

Incline DB Press
2 x 10 x 25
8 x 25

Pec Deck
2 x 8 x 30

not much here but it kicked my ass.

dvlmn666 · 09-25-2002, 11:44 PM

that was your first time back since you were sick. Just wait this time you'll go past the 40's in no time.

NG...take your time coming back, but with that rep range...there was no reason your could not do 40s for at least 4-6.

Many times w/my woman lifters, it's a mental hurdle, not a physical one. Secret is tight wrists, and a spot on getting the first rep up.

Leslie · 09-26-2002, 07:51 AM

40's!

I wish..LOL I am still on 30's......
