Little Wing · 01-17-2005, 08:19 PM

You cant switch them from "poundage" to "overload poundage"?

Ive never heard those terms before.

Little Wing · 01-17-2005, 08:21 PM

Does anyone know what poundage overload poundage means?

They must be Farmed Poundages.

Are they as bad as farmed salmon?

nikegurl · 01-18-2005, 11:58 AM

are you using any free weights? you'll make better progress if you don't stick completely with machines.

Little Wing · 01-18-2005, 12:58 PM

i'm going to buy some freeweights. just the bar at my gym is too heavy 45 pounds. no you can't cange the weight from 1 to the other i think what it means is that that is the weight or resistance your body feels as you move through the lift, press whatever.

anyway yesterday

nikegurl · 01-18-2005, 01:06 PM

does your gym have dumbbells? that would solve the problem of the bar being too heavy and get you going with free weights.

Little Wing · 01-18-2005, 03:03 PM

it isn't really what you'd call a gym. it's an old school weight room in a hotel up here. i like it cuz it's empty 99.9% of the time open late at night, you can crank whatever music you want, pool n hot tub are generally empty too, you can even bring your dog but the equipment is old n limited. there are two sets of dumbell things that are weight adjustable. they look weird n akward

guess i'll ask this guy that uses 'em what's up with them... thanks.

yeah it's pounds and overload poundage. something to do with resistance i guess. there's no way to adjust it i think it's just supposedly what work load your moving as you move through the lift or press.

Why did the fisherman cross the stream?.........

Just for the Halibut.

Little Wing · 01-28-2005, 01:57 PM

were they farmed halibut? farmed salmon is so good but i guess it's horrible for you....

Little Wing · 02-01-2005, 06:40 PM

the last time i went to work out there was a smell. a really bad smell. i can't go back there. i'm anal but this smell was a whole nother splash of hot wax.... i contemplated bringing lysol, the green apple stuff is really nice, couldn't do it

. so i just bought a weight bench n 110 lbs of weights, a barbell n two dumbell thingys. it's a nice bench but simple you can use it flat or inclined n it has a curling thing n things for leg extensions and leg curls. in a few months i'm upgrading to a nice home gym but this'll do for now. oh n having a heavy bag delivered

(i couldn't resist).

I equate splashes of hot wax with GOOD THINGS

Little Wing · 09-06-2005, 05:45 PM

okay. i'd have been better off sticking with the gym smell and all than converting to home workouts. i'm horible at staying motivated. recently tho i have recommited and am doing better. a lot of bike riding and some cardio on a mini stair stepper i like but i need to utelize my weight bench a lot more and stick to it. it has an attatchment for leg work and a curling pad. so here is my equipment

barbell bar and dumbell bars w 110lbs of weider metal plates.

pilates resistance band.

my diet is really clean. chicken, brown rice, oatmeal, beans, veggies, fruit. lots of water n a multi vitamin.

i can feel my muscles taking form underneath the bodyfat but the bodyfat is not leaving soon enough to suit me. having a journal here motivated me before i quit the gym, and i'm moving to bangor sometime this spring where they have a gold's gym. in the meantime here i am again.
