i made SUCH an ass of myself last night at the gym. but once i got over the embarassment i realized i should be happy i didn't really hurt myself.

it was leg day. i started off on a new hack machine that lots of people use facing in to the machine as well as with your back against the pad. you use a foot lever to rack/unrack the weight.

i finished set one and something happened when i racked the weight. i think i hit the foot pedal thing right but the weight wasn't in the groove. .....actually i don't really know what happened.

i just know it didn't rack properly and i went flying across the gym. i had forgotten to take off a bracelet i wear (don't wear it to the gym usually) and i scraped most of the skin off the inside of my wrist. it was bloody and stinging but nothing serious.

scared the crap out of me though. i landed with my head about 2 inches from the weight stack on the universal machine so i'm feeling lucky (and dumb)

I just had to post that I did that machine yesterday and thought of YOU

I was extra careful

All seriousness, glad you are ok

w8lifter · 03-20-2003, 05:48 PM

Wow...I haven't used that machine yet cause I'm afraid i can't rack it right

...I'm glad nothing serious happened!

nikegurl · 03-20-2003, 06:00 PM

don't be scared. it was a totally freakish thing. also my fault b/c in my mind the hard part (my set) was over and i know my mind wandered and my concentration lapsed.

i love that machine! love it i tell you

nikegurl · 03-20-2003, 06:16 PM

starting a new diet plan. i've got to go over some of my old journals and leah, jodi and brit's. i'm so out of practice i forget how to make the numbers add up!

new plan will be 6 meals with no more twice weekly carb up (will be having slow burning carbs daily)

plan is 210 g protein, 70 g carb, 60-72 g fat daily

that works out to 35 g protein per meal
10 - 12 g fat per meal

carbs will be 25, 5, 25, 5, 10, 0

hitting 35 grams protein in 6 meals will take some adjusting. i know my "egg" meal is way lower and my turkey burger is too. i used to use egg whites to bump the protein content up. may do that again. i also thought of using 1/2 of those tiny cans of tuna (10 g protein) to boost any meals needing more protein. not sure if i'd be in danger of too much tuna then. it's easy and i don't mind it but i already have tuna twice a day so maybe using it in other meals would be bad...

also have to re-learn what makes 25 g of carbs and 10 g carbs

i'll study up, psych up and try to come out swinging.

also going to look into CLA - (i'm headed to brit's journal now to read up)

Britney · 03-20-2003, 07:12 PM

I just started the CLA. DP says it can take up to 6 weeks before you can see something

I am taking about 4-5 soft gelcaps per day. Here is a good link as well

http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/sh...A&pagenumber=1 (Fat Intake Post Work-Out)

Britney · 03-20-2003, 07:15 PM

As for 25g C

1/2 c oats
1/2 c Sweet Potato
Lil less than 1/2 Brown Rice
An apple

10g C
1 c Spaghetti Sqash
4 Strawberries
1/2 Grapefruit

You remember

IMO I think you should drop the 2nd 25g C meal if you plan to carb up. Keep the 25g C in meal 1 as your main carbs.
Just my opinion

Dr. Pain · 03-20-2003, 07:22 PM

Good opinion Brit...she's not gonna carb-up ..lol

Nice Plan H

OK - wasn't going to post Monday night's workout b/c I think it sucked. But....my chest is pretty sore today so maybe it didn't suck as much as I thought lol

The gym was an absolute madhouse. I usually go on Sunday and take Monday nights off for that reason but my schedule wouldn't work this week. I went at 9:00 thinking the crowd would be better and still couldn't get near a bench...and the place is HUGE. I was pissed.

BICEPS
