Thanks a bunch Brit!

BritChick

Shitty, shitty workout!
No strenth today, weights were down from last week, very frustrating!
Niggly little aches and pains throughout, shoulder and elbow.
Hope I'm not plateauing so soon.

Wednesday:

Back/Biceps

Wide Grip Pull Down 9/10/7/7 - 90/80/90/90 (shoulder, ow! ow! ow! )
Narrow Grip Pull Down 8/10/10 - 100/90/90
T-Bar Row 10/10/10 - 70/70/70 (barely made it through these)
Single Arm Row 10/10/8 - 55/55/60 (seriously tempted to go home now!)
Standing BB Curl 10/8/6 - 60/60/60
DB Hammer Curl 10/10/10 - 30/30/30 (elbow, ow! ow! ow! )
Concentrated Curls 15/10/8 - 25/30/35 (only thing that was suprisingly good!)

Cheer up! We all have bad days, and you still look really hot. What more can anyone ask for?

Maybe you are just tired? Take a few days off! Relax!

I can do it

I WILL be a size 5.

Cheers Max

Blasphemy!!! lol

It might be the new six day split I'm trying catching up with me.
It's been about 6 weeks now since I started it. I'll see how it goes and if necessary drop a workout or two.
I'm due for a 50% week here pretty soon anyways... I hate 50% weeks! lol
Gonna go take a hot shower and then go for a tan (nap!).
I actually think I might book a massage too, haven't had one in months and feel like pampering myself a little.
Tonight we are meant to be going to see 'Open Water', have heard mixed reviews from 'wicked, totally brilliant' to 'shit... had a hard time staying awake'! Anyone seen it yet?
Be back later when I am clean and rested.

Check this out.

Being as I spend a lot of time in the water I think I'll pass on that one

BritChick

Okay, I got sucked in by all the positive reviews.
Sounds like it's a lot like the Blair Witch, seemed to be you either loved it or hated it there was not a lot of middle ground. And the fact that it's a low budget movie no expensive special effects or sound tracks.
Paynne - I am not a water person at all, the ocean scares me so I guess I'm already off to a head start! lol
The good thing about it is it's rated PG so we can take the kids and my daughter can just bury herself into my neck if she get too freaked out... she's the one who actually requested to go see it.

greekblondechic

The last movie I saw was The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement

What's a 50% week, does that mean you only do half your workouts? The body DOES need rest, the massage sounds like a good idea

I can do it

I WILL be a size 5.

Wow BritChick I just checked your gallery, physique is looking incredible.

How is the training going in the off-season so far for you? And your current goals? I have missed your journal this entire time, I have no idea why.

Stats!

Monstar, that's because it was lost amidst a sea of your journals

Pick one and stick to it mister or you will never make any progress!

Admitting you have a problem is always the first step.

BritChick

LMAO... now are you referring to my problem with water... or the 'other' problem?!

BritChick

Hey Greeky... - I usually do a 50% training week about every 8 weeks, this is when I train the same routine as normal but use roughly half the weight, this is my 'week off' so to speak, I am usually able to lift heavier than before the week following.

Monstar - Thanks! My off-season training is going well, well, it was up until yesterday! My overall goals are to put on some size for next season, all the judges have told me that I have great potential, great shape, but need more mass to compete with the shorter girls in my class. In the short term I want to drop a few lbs before the Olympia... but food tastes soooo good right now! lol I am hoping once the kids are in school and once I start my classes too, I'll be busy enough to keep me distracted from the perpetual munchies!!!

Ha... just re-read my journal entries and realized the 'admitting you have a problem' quote wasn't even directed at me! lol I am so used to people telling me I have a problem I assumed it was!

Open Water - husband thought it was very suspenseful and liked it, daughter (7) thought it was very scary and okay, son (9) thought it wasn't scary but was okay, me... I thought it seriously SUCKED!!!! Had I been alone I would have walked out. If your idea of fun is watching two people tread water for an hour whilst having domestic disputes then this might be the flick for you! I personally was praying for the sharks to comes and kill their boring asses.

How can it possibly be leg day again so soon???!!!

MaxMirkin

You have a problem too, but it's more.......geographical.

Don't you hate that?

Max..it was a cute movie! Plus I didn't want to go see Open Water

I can do it

Denial can be a major setback to recovery.

OMG, I completely agree!

Sorry this is not workout related but I honestly couldn't stand this movie. What a waste. First of all the movie was so short, like what 1 hour and 15 minutes or something? It felt like a long TV show. Second of all the acting sucked, and it was almost like a cheap version of Blair Witch Project, although Blair Witch was actually somewhat scary. Then there were not enough instances of sharks and all that to make the movie even frightening. The way the guy died was not even pronounced enough, I thought he was asleep and before you know it he's dead. And the way the girl died in the end? She just sunk down into the water.

Overall, the movie sucked, bad.

Hello Brit!
New to IM... Nice pics.

BritChick

MonStar - let's hope no one who reads this actually plans to go see the movie since you just ruined the story for them if they did! lmao
Actually you probably just saved them $15!
Was it only 1hr and 15 mins??? Blimey! It seemed like MUCH longer... thank god for small mercies!!!
It was the kind of movie that had it been acted well it might have had some merit but I found myself laughing at all the bits that weren't supposed to be funny!
I have to admit that I did enjoy the Blair Witch, that movie definately gave me a severe case of the heebie jeebies

Wow ... if this is a bad workout for you, I'd love to see numbers of a great workout.

just kick'in it in the ole Charger

Velvet

WOW..you have strong hammies!

BritChick

Thanks Velvet... but the little suckers won't grow, it's always my quads and glutes that grow!

Thanks for stopping by naturaltan.

Time to change things up soon for me, gonna make a new program to start Sep 1, which will allow me to get in shape for the Olympia and a shoot I have booked... dang, think I will have to add back some cardio. Will probably do a 4 day split with 3 days cardio... need to plan my workouts and Sep 1 is the day to remove any remaining junk from the diet.

Off to train shoulders/tris in a bit... back later.
