Actually, OT pay the boss is willing shelling out provides lots of encouragement

Trip-Thanks

Arch-Thank you that means a lot to me.

Thanks. After having migraines all my life, I've learned how to bounce back as quickly as possible.

DeadBolt · 02-20-2006, 09:45 AM

Wow hun that was one hell of a workout!!!

Glad to see someone else besides myself is doing back/delts together. I love that combo....push/pull in the same workout just works so great for me!

gwcaton · 02-20-2006, 12:54 PM

Nice wo Dev

You were flying !

Burner02 · 02-21-2006, 10:16 AM

g'morning!
Guess the migrane is all better?
Helluva workout! Were ya gruntng? Making the guys around you feel inadequate?

Devlin · 02-21-2006, 12:03 PM

Gary-Thanks, but no where near as fast as Arch

Burner-Yep gone till the next one which could be next week when hormones take a dive, the joys of being a woman

No I wasn't making any noises, I'm one of the strong silent types.

I did notice a couple guys watching and they did seem to step aside when I approached the weight racks

I took yesterday off from the gym, no way I'm dealing with the monday crowd. Will be heading there tonight, thinking of doing just arms, abs and cardio. I was kinda down today and think it is withdraw from not working out

Ohh well I should try and get some work done today.

..rub it in, sir....

Burner02 · 02-21-2006, 01:09 PM

Hiya hottie!
Really? Not even a little grunting? hhmm...
I know the depression of not going to the gym...I haven't felt my muscles 'full' for what..3 weeks now..

I am REALLY gonna have to force myself to go again...till it becomes 2nd nature again...
how's the drama doing in the office?

Devlin · 02-21-2006, 01:54 PM

Yeah thanks Boiler. I'm sitting here freezing my ass off thank you very much.

Well let's see on this episode of As the Office Turns.....

We have 2 different construction crews working around the office filling up our parking lot, making noise (not too much), making a mess, but not too bad. Mom has been coming into the office in bad moods the last couple days and the secretary and I both walk on egg shells around her for a few hours till we can perk her up. Otherwise we get our heads chopped off when we least expect it. Mom apparently is still pissed that her son went to suture a laceration on sunday when he said he was going to work in the office, but that a whole other episode

Overall it not bad in here, just have to watch what we say to mom or the she flips and chops a head off. Boss is civil and actually jokes around with me when mom not around. he still kinda nasty and short with his mom, but she gives ragging on him about a lot of things and giving him an attitude. Basically it kinda funny to just sit back and watch the drama go round and around between the two of them. They both are controlling, they stress each other out, and expect confrontations from each other.

As for the "project" I'm working on....I have finished the data entry for 2005 and now working on getting 2006 up to date. There is a light at the end of the tunnel

Just need the boss to finalize the data and invoicing can go out

Burner02 · 02-21-2006, 02:20 PM

hey! Doens't sound too bad....as far as other days in the office...

Devlin · 02-21-2006, 02:34 PM

No it been kind of sedate for a change.

Burner02 · 02-21-2006, 02:46 PM

still freezing your ass off? I have a great way to warm it up....

lunges!

Devlin · 02-21-2006, 08:02 PM

Burner-Thanks....

Arch-To me back and delts just seem to go together really well

Thanks, I'm really looking forward to reaching that light.

I shouldn't have said that the drama at the office had settled, because right before I left work Mom pretty much was a powder keg ready to explode. I defused her a bit, but boss is in for an earfull when he gets home. The situation that set Mom off, left me feeling very uncomfortable (it wasn't mom going off that bothered me, but what prompted it) and I'm going to try and talk to boss tomorrow about it. Ended up going to the gym and working off the stress.

Devlin · 02-21-2006, 08:14 PM

As I'm sure you have noticed I rarely if ever ever perform isolation exercises for biceps and occassionaly isolate the triceps. As a result, I don't have a "routine" for an arm only day so I basically winged this workout

Cardio, Arms & Abs

Treadmill-20 minutes
15% incline
5 minutes @ speeds 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 3.8

Dumbbell bicep curls
15 x 15
20 x 8
Opps forgot to do a third set.

Tricep Press downs
20 x 15
30 x 6
35 x 3 + 1negative

Rope Curls(Stole from Billie

)
20 x 12
25 x 8
30 x 5

Overhead tricep extensions
20 x 12
25 x 8
30 x 6

Decline Situps
15, 15, 15

Laying leg raises
20, 30, 30

Bicycles (# done to each side)
20, 20, 20

Concentration curls (tossed at end as an after thought)
15 x 8, 8
10 x 10

Over all this was an ok workout. Abs got hit hard by the decline situps

. Still feeling the triceps now

, but feel I neglected the biceps. Ohh well there is always next time.

Devlin · 02-21-2006, 08:21 PM

I have changed up my "plan" for my workouts. I had initially planned to do:

Sunday--Legs
Monday--Off, maybe cardio
Tuesday--Back
Wednesday--Cardio
Thursday--Chest
Friday--Cardio
Saturday--Cardio and abs

However, my trainer and I work together on thursdays and he wants to focus on a different muscle group each week. So what I plan to do is continue with the above lifting schedule, but rotate the body parts.

That probably didn't make sense. Let's see here is a sample...

Week 1
Sunday--Legs
Monday--Off, maybe cardio
Tuesday--Back
Wednesday--Cardio
Thursday--Chest
Friday--Cardio
Saturday--Cardio and abs

Week 2....
Sunday--Back
Monday--Off, maybe cardio
Tuesday--Chest
Wednesday--Cardio
Thursday--Legs
Friday--Cardio
Saturday--Cardio and abs

Week 3...
Sunday--Chest
Monday--Off, maybe cardio
Tuesday--Legs
Wednesday--Cardio
Thursday--Back
Friday--Cardio
Saturday--Cardio and abs

I will just have to be ready to adapt week to week.
