Taking Premiers comment to heart I went in to bust ass today....


3BB Squats: 165x6, 135x7, 145x7 (set with Military Press)
3Military DB Press: 30x9, 32.5x9, 35x6 (this felt really good)
3Incline BB Press: 75x7 x6 x6 (set with ext)
3Leg Ext: 120 x9 x9 x9
3DB CG Bench: 75 x 8 x 8 x 6
3Cable Crossovers: 30 x9 x9 x9 (actually had the left at 40 for the first 2, oops, thought I was way off balance)
3VBar Pressdown: 40x8 50 x6 50 x3

This was probably about 45min. Forgot to look at the clock.....

My left side is sore from my screw up with the crossovers.
Also my forearms are sore, but I think that is just because I grip too tight. I really need to learn to relax a bit.

Today is a low day and things are going good. I feel pretty good just tired but that is from not enough sleep. Hopefully I'll get a good night sleep tonight. Might have to take the kids to the indoor play area to wear them out tonight. I know that the body has made some changes because of a pair of jeans I tried on this morning. They went on without a problem, that was a first. And of course always feels good.

Off for my Tuna and I look forward to Friday's workout......

Nice work!!! I'm gonna try supersetting, too. Should be interesting.

Damn Girl! Nice

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Thanks guys.
I love supersetting..... squats and lunges are a really good one (obviously not tppt), it is all about legs. Speaking of which I just don't feel my legs are getting it with this routine right now. I miss my sldls. But it is a weight thing. Just got to bump it up.

PreMier

Great workout And the military DB presses are quite impressive! I also miss my SLDL

curls
and calf raises all in one day.... the split just doesn't feel the same

oh and jumprope and block jumps

MONO - You are freakin huge. There is no way. And if so you are doing something wrong......

Novo

Ah, I'm with you there CQ! *sheepishly looking around and hoping noone else is reading * my legs are also feeling kinda neglected, still too fresh, and that's despite the fact I'm just about to start w/o 6 ... but honest to god, there's no way I can throw any more weight on there, I'm as high as I go. What gives?!?

Remind me of this when the 6 sets kill me and I'm confined to a chair, unable to walk will ya! Will serve me right ...

Happy to hear of the 'good news' jeans, they're a great tracking device hey? Well done you!

Not to worry. Phase 2 will be here shortly.

CourtQueen

^ Aren't you supposed to be packing?? Get at it so that you can go to sleep, geesh...... (and glad to know I wasn't the only one thinking that on the legs)


Off day here and just a very very slight DOMS in the quads and shoulders. Can't wait to measure next week. Today is a 'No' day so off to eat my eggs.......

Novo

I'm working on a reward system - pack 1, read 1! Am resigned to no sleep tonight, not if I'm to be done in time. Never again will I leave it so late ...

You look FORWARD to measuring?! You must already be seeing results methinks nice work!

about 40 minutes

This workout couldn't have come at a better time. Completely took my mind of work
Actually I look forward to the last one. Need to make sure I take a towel. Gotta love Fridays in the gym, hardly anyone there and some good looking male physiques in the gym. Oh but I wasn't looking

I'm actually making this a Low day and tomorrow a High Day. Also switching my Sun/Mon. I have had no appetite today...... strange.

Well be interesting to see if I'm sore tomorrow......

Doing a 'low' day today and then a 'no' day tomorrow since it is an off day (and I ate too much Fiber one yesterday )

CourtQueen

Oh, it took me about an hour on this one. I had not commitments today so took a little more time. Starting to wonder if I will survive the next two weeks.....

(I will but I might have to swear along the way)

PreMier

Nice workouts! Maybe you shouldfocus on training and less on the hot gym guys hehe

hush Jake. everyone knows you get to focus on the hotties the first 5 minutes after you arrive at the gym and for 4-7 minutes after you finish your last set.

good job CQ

^ Silly boy

Ok, So Sunday my lower ham starting getting stiffer and stiffer, like I had a charlie horse or something. Monday got worse, real difficult to walk until it loosened up and then it got better and I played volleyball. Have been icing it and did my workout today and again it is sore as hell. Starting to worry it is my knee. Going to do some major icing. I might have to go easy on the legs for a week.

Ok today

5WG Pulldowns: 90x9 100x7x6x8x7
5Barbell Rows: 90x7x6 80x8x8x8 (set with calf raises)
5Seated Leg Curls: 110x8x7x7x7x6 (the old machine)
5Barbell Curls: 50x6 40x7x6 30x8x8
5Seated Calf Raise: 125x9x9x9x9
5Cable Hammer Curls: 30x8x6 20x9x8x8 (w/shrugs)
5 ug Barbell Shrugs: 80x8x8x8x8

Took about 55 min.

Probably shouldn't have gone to play a bit of volleyball after this but...... going to go ice.

I was starved today for my 'High' day following my No yesterday. Food was greatly needed and I've loved every bite today. I have made some definite progress these last two weeks and I need to stay focused on not allowing that to make me think I can just slip. Need to stay focused here.

Rest of week
Tues - High-Workout
Wed - Low - Workout
Thurs - No
Fri - High - Workout
Sat - High - Workout
Sun - No
Mon - Low - VB

Your doing great Nice workout!

Be careful of squats tomorrow. I would skip them if your knees still hurts.

CourtQueen

stupid yahoo, let me try this a second time

Thanks Jodi

I did go a little easy on the squats and ext. It is just weird because it is more on the back of the leg and a little higher then knee....possibly mcl? Not sure, maybe just ham strain. Feels ok today. I'll continue to ice and see how it is tomorrow. Might put off the curls though.

Well, my grandma had a stroke this morning. I won't get into a lot of details here but I'm fighting between the relief and feeling terrible for her feelings. She is 95. I was thinking of putting off my workout today but then I figured that that will help no one. And besides, I know I will live to be at least 90 (damn genes) and that I refuse to go out that way. I plan on lifting for the rest of my life and doing everything I possibly can. There will be no room for laziness when it comes to my health and my physical state. So off to the gym...


5BB Squats: 135x8x8x8x7 135x8 (set with Military Press)
5Military DB Press: 35x8x7x6 32.5x8x7 (I think I can do more here but I just can't get them up No Var that isn't an open invitation )
5Incline BB Press: 75x7x6 65x8x8x8 (set with ext)
5Leg Ext: 110 x9x9x9x9x9
5Cable Crossovers: 40 x7x6 30 x8x9x9 (set with vbar)
5VBar Pressdown: 50x8x8x7x6x6
5DB CG Bench: 65x9x8x8x7x7

about 60min on this one. Was in no rush to head back to work. Good thing I didn't have to put makeup on after this workout. There was no lifting arms up at all.

In some sick way I look forward to next week. Just wish I had a personal masseur

OMG, I can someone please tell the guy in the white sweats not to grab his balls while walking around in the gym thinking he looks like the shit

Var

Damn! She already knows how I think!

Nice workout, CQ! Looking good

so sorry to hear about your grandma.

and by the way - i'm amazed you can do all that in an hour! i must be slow even when i think i'm hurrying! (it took me an hour and 20 minutes last night! )

hope your hamstring improves quickly.
