Yes, I agree 100%, I would NOT be where I am today without this forum - my diet was all screwed up!

I usually lurk around and check out other posts on diet and routines and definitely- "yes", tracking everything helps keep me keep my set goals, and even try harder to succeed.

And no way, I cannot post my photo progression shots here! I would be too embarrassed cuz they are shots of my arse in underwear!

I even went as far as to post in the gym my phone number for and note "looking for serious weight training partner", no luck and it's been a month!

Yes, the younger guys are helpful and nice then I get some that are just freaky, scream on a squat or pant like a women giving birth when they do bar curls! Sometimes it's hard!

Thanx for ur thoughts and support - it helps!

Thanks Sara!

Hi W8 - No way, I know difference between intensity and just trying to get attention

Thanx, It is just very draining. I had no motivation to work out, depressed and I guess just a process of grieving. I'll snap back soon.

Bladezz - Is there a reason you don't do behind the neck Barbell Squats? I think you may want to consider a heavier leg w/o. JMO

I like the leg press machines and I don't like to look like a whimp in front of the guys and that is the only place I can do them (In the dungeon).

Is there something you could suggest based on the stats I have posted??

Also, I did not do legs for two weeks, so basically all of my advances when downhill. So, I basically started from scratch again as far as my endurance/resistance goes, couldn't handle any more than that. I can work it up again tho.

You need to stop being afraid of working out in front of the guys. I'm serious. Even if you only start squatting with the BB behind your neck its better than nothing.

Would you like to work your legs harder and get them leaner?

Strong legs are a must IMO!

Sure I can and I will. I thought I was working them good enough, but maybe not.

Do you have an outline for me to change what I am doing and I will do it for my next workout? I can add to it.

I go deep on leg presses and angle my toes outward or position them pointed up and legs together in to work different areas not just quads and hams but a "blast" for entire upper leg area.

But I see where it may benefit me with the natural resistance and gravity of lifting with a bar w/weight vs. controlled angled movements of a machine.

Just focus on "type" of workout rather than weight? Or follow my guideline for resistance which is doing 8-12 reps per set of heaviest weight I can handle ?

Thanx

Pick a w8 that you will hit failure by 8-12 reps. Don't make that w/o and addition to your leg w/o. I bet your will feel a bit more challenged

I would suggest a diet change. You need to really concentrate on making it through an entire week of clean eating. Its too hard to judge where you are at when we don't know what you are doing.

I have been trying to eat my ratios as close as possible on my fitday.com account http://www.fitday.com/WebFit/PublicJ...wner=Bladezz33

I am totally out of everything.... I am placing order for Flax and Optimum (my daughter uses it too) SO I will not be able to diet strick until I get it.

How about workouts, you ever fall into a slump with exercise?

I had run out of my protein shake and flax. So, I just started back up on Wednesday, May 14.

Other than that I have been diligent in watching what I eat but havent been logging my diet. Also, my protein intake hasn't been as it should.

So, I guess I am back to square one...
