This is great Pfunk. Steered me away from a cheat this weekend

Wanna hear something weird? I'm actually relieved..i've been thinking about/craving the cheat for the last few days, and now that I've decided not to, I don't have any cravings Plus I just had a great w/o and I'm in my size 6 jeans today...wahoooooooooo

Workout:

Notes: I can barely type, my necklace is in my purse cause I couldn't hold my arms up long enuff to get the stoopid clasp done up..I hurt...bad, My arms and chest feel all squirrley Oh and my pride was somewhat hurt..I'd start each first set strong...down a few reps next set, can barely get 1/2 my reps thirds set and barely a couple last set Why is my strength declining so much so fast?

RI= 30 min Strict
Total time = 40 mins

Bench
50 x 10
60 x 6
70 x 3
75 x 1
80 x 6 (felt strong)
80 x 6F (getting tougher)
80 x 4F (with a spotter, help on the last rep)
80 x 3F (with a spotter, only 2 on my own...barely )

Incline DB Press

20 x 5F
20 x 5F

Cable Crossover
30 x 12
30 x 10F
30 x 6F
30 x 5.75F

Skulls
20 x 15 too light
25 x 9F
25 x 5F

Triceps Pressdowns
60 x 10F
60 x 6F
60 x 9F only cause I went faster


Questions: Cable crossovers, lower or upper cables? I used upper...arms parallel at the top or above?

If I'm not making my minimum reps for the 3rd and 4th set should I start off with a lower weight even tho I can rep out at that weight first two sets?







Question P: Is a piece of fruit PWO ok? I'm pretty hungry at this time!!

my body knows when friday comes around. my cravings are a bitch to fight off.

answers

1) high cable crossovers.
2) arms parallel? not sure i understand you here
3) no fruit post workout. oats and whey please.
4) about the rep ranges. don't start with a lighter weight either (a) toughen up and deal with it or (b) lift smarter.....for example, bench press, try and hit 80/5x4.

fructose uses a non-insulin pathway to digest. also, fructose preferentially repletes liver glycogen.


you can if you want use fat (like natty PB) and protein and forgo the insulin spike. I am not opposed to that.....however if you do that is your one time a day nattyp PB!!!

K, thanks

Arms parallel as when you arms are in the starting position - arms extended up at your sides slightly bent. Do start with your arms at parallel or slightly lower or higher (I ask because I see folks doing it differently all the time)

No way man, I love meal #5 I make a pancake with the oats and eggs and smear the natty on top...almost better than any cheat...almost

K, just oats and Protein

I start with my arms up above my head and come down, slight lean forward at the waist (flat back and good spinal position ofcourse). Then perform a fly. Staggered stance is fine to use heavier loads....feet together stance will place more emphasis on the core stabalizers. Wanna make it hard?? Three count eccentric.

I can't wait to have you training on a cool program....hehehehehehhe

my pecs are quivering as I type That's a good thing right

I pour my whey/water over my dry uncooked oats and eat it with a spoon...yum!!

That sounds nasty But then again Im not a big fan of the flavour of any protein powders..wouldn't want to ruin my oats

No boob issues today thanks

Why are you dropping the protein and upping the carbs? Just curious.

ok seriously? I just found this journal now. thanks a heap for letting me know you started it! :P

Just read through the whole thing.

Girl i have to tell you those workouts look BRUTAL and you're only getting started! I think i'm transferring all usage rights of the phrase "I'm a beast. RAWR." over to you. Hahahahaha! I'm hurting just reading those.

Your diet looks great. Good job (and good job, P, too! )

You are doing awesome, Jeni. Congrats on the 4lb, congrats on the size 6 jeans, and congrats on surviving the first week and forgoing your first "technically allowed" cheat hahahahahaha!You're on fire...

Im following, but quietly. I dont know anything

Hey sista! Wasssup? Sorry, hee hee, i just made a quick reference to this journal in my other non-serious journal...i'm sure it was easy to miss considering how freakin busy you've been! Thanks for the support Ivy YOu rock! And ya, those workouts were brutal...reducing my RI's while upping my reps really kicked my ass, my back is still sore from last MONDAY's workout! :o I didn't end up going running last night cause i was way too sore and figured I better give my bod a break..P will be thrilled to here that

Hope you have a gggggreat weekend!!!

Jake

I thought your carbs were normally lower. More like 50/30/20 Thats sort of what I aim for.

What are you doing online this weekend, your not working??

no, I don't like that low carb...i've tried it and it makes me really cranky and tired. I may end up doing something like that as time goes on but not right now

I'm just trying to wake up before I start my weekend cleaning Have a great weekend!!!

UPDATE FOR P:

No cheat I was a good girl, meals went all according to plan AND, I decided not to do my 30 min planned run. I was too sore and figured it would interfere big time with my recovery..i think I'll need at least another month to recover
