Didn't pee as much as you normally do!

Seriously - 1 pound is NOTHING!! You could have a little more bulk in your intestines or you could have drunk a little more water than you normally do yesterday... That 1 pound may not be actual 'you' weight at all...


But - 140 pounds is a much more rounded whole number anyway... So even if it IS actual 'you' weight then leave it be!

No these are not them... And the link to the site is down at the moment!!

Drop squats use a high box - and you have one leg over the edge - and you squat (ATG) down on one leg (holding DBs if you can) and then back up again.

But you can just do lunges or split squats for now and I think that they would be just as good.

ok good because we don't have a high box ..
Omg .. Emma the split squats destroyed my legs , like you have no idea , my legs (both quads and hammies) are SORE as hell , I can't bend over .. and omg my ass .. it's even worse , if it even slightly burshes up against something it actual hurts .. tomorrow (quads + shoulders) should be interesting ..

Sit on the floor .. and the seat wouldn't go far enough down to lock my knees under .. and when trying to get the bar to my chest the seat would be in the way .. my gym's not equiped to do that LOL .. can I just do them on the seat??

Pull down?? .. hmm still kinda confused LOL sorry

But ... it makes for a better movie for me .. me and Corey both were like Crying because he was so hot then got so .. nasty. Then Andrew (Who btw is British , but also went to Austrailia for a year so his accent is so adorable) Turn to me and goes "Shh! Watch the program!" LMAO!! program!! ahh it was great , I couldn't stop laughing.

Ya .. but .. what if he was really gay and he adopted them and then sent them away to be adopted again , ahh ever think of that one??

I saw it this weekend. It is a good movie. Not great. I expected a darker movie. But it was just an entertaining fun-action sci-fi movie. So out of the 6, ESB stays my fav one

Hmmm.. this is the one of the sites i saw :The Split Squat. And on this page there is a Front Split Style Squat. What i called stationary lunges. So i guess they are the same great exercise for hitting the hams and glutes.
