BBgirl's journal to comp..

BBgirl · 08-01-2005, 07:01 PM

Hi all

Ok, it's about time I started a journal, so here, I am starting a journal

Bit about be... I'm 26, work in an Arch. Firm, live just outside of Ottawa, and am training for a BB comp in the spring. I have a coach who is a retired competitor of 20yrs who's helping me alot.

My current routine is:

Mon - back & bi's
Tues - chest & tri's
wed - off
Thurs - quads & calves
Fri - hams & shoulders

I'm 5'9", 164lbs, hovering around the 15% mark. I am in a mass building phase now, so we aren't measuring BF as frequently right now.

Looking forward to chatting with you all

Good lookin workouts BB, looking good in the Ava too, good luck in the comp

BBgirl · 08-07-2005, 07:55 AM

Thanks Archangel

Thanks I'm Trying

Thanks Sean.

Appearently my mother in law and Brother in law are coming over this afternoon. We got an email (??) I'd better get a move on my day! Gotta love unexpected visitors

Archangel · 08-07-2005, 09:47 AM

My Pleasure!!! Good luck with the "Visitors"!!!

BBgirl · 08-08-2005, 07:15 PM

Thanks Angel. We had a good time actually. Lit the BBQ, and looked at BIL's navy pics.

Boy did I have a crappy day at the gym today. SO, the heat is back, and I had to take the bus today because Dieter was in a meeting, so it's a million degrees and Ottawa's fattest smelliest women have to come and smush into the seats next to me on an un-air conditioed bus. I was about to throw up.
Anyway, I was also starting to get a headache, and I attemped a ham & shoulder workout today that started w/ SLDL's.

Preface: I have been meaning to switch back & Bi's (mon) w/ hams & shoulders (fri) for a while, since my shoulder need the most work, so today was the day.

Anyhoo, for some reason I was irritable too, so every little thing aggravated me. Like the gy who was sitting on the bench I needed, supposedly between "alot more sets", but wasn't even holdng any weights, and didn't offer to let me work in.
WHen I was done with the 50's (deadlifting) some guy made a big deal out of the fact that I was using them, and he didn't even use them. Normally I would find this flattering, but this guy was VERY muscular, so I think he was making fun of me.
I am not having a good day.
Also, I am getting sick of SLDL'ing with DB's, but my coach wants me to. Grr. I was able to BB SLDL 185 for 6 reps (with straps) but w/ DB's I can only do 50's without taering my fingers apart. She want's me to do them raw.

OK, thanks for letting me vent.

So, this is what I did before my head really felt like it would explode:

DB SLDL - 5x10 w/ 50's (100lbs)
Lying ham curl - 12, 9,9,9,9 @ 130lbs
DB Shoulder press - 12 @ 30, 6,6,6,5 w/ 35's
Latteral raise W/ twist & hold at top-12,10,10,10 w/ 10's

That's it. Oh well.

Archangel · 08-08-2005, 08:40 PM

Don't be so hard on yourself, pretty good looking w/o to me!!! Don't you just love "People" like that at the gym!!! Keep your head up and heart light, your doin GREAT!!!

Seanp156 · 08-09-2005, 12:02 AM

Very good looking w/o, some impressive weights there

.

Rocco32 · 08-09-2005, 12:54 PM

Looks like your doing great BBgirl! I definately days like that and everything annoys me. Those are the days people decide to push your buttons also

Hope today is going better for you!

BBgirl · 08-10-2005, 07:33 PM

Thanks Angel. I'm glad there are nice peole like you on here though

Thanks Sean
Thanks Rocco. Today was a good day. And yesterday's workout went great:

Chest & tris
BB flat bench - 10,10,10,8,10,8 @ 95lbs
DB incline bench - 8,6,7,6,5 w/ 35's
Peck Deck - 8,6,6 @ 66lbs
Flat bar cable tris - 12 @ 95, 2x8 @ 100lbs
DB over head press - 3x10 @ 30 (I'm alwaays kind of afraid to go higher on these. I feel like my arms will pop out of their sockets if I slip up)
Rope extension to the front - 12, 10, 10,8 @ 50.

Today was rest day

I sat on my ass all day at work staring at corner details. Yay. <-sarcasm.

Archangel · 08-10-2005, 07:47 PM

Great w/o there Sister BB!!! I bet you can go up to 35's with no problem, maybe try 3 sets of 8, I bet you can do it!!!
There are a few on here who try to make it fun and Inspirational, glad if I can help!!!

BBgirl · 08-10-2005, 08:25 PM

Thanks Angel

I wil try the 35's next time! I'll just make sure I have a spotter.

Seanp156 · 08-13-2005, 02:07 PM

Wow BB, those are some very impressive #'s. I can't do hack squats, they put too much pressure on my knees for some reason.

Rocco32 · 08-13-2005, 05:27 PM

That IS a great w/o BBgirl. Your putting up some very impressive weight

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
