Boiler...how about you get off the puter, and go give her a "working" over???

that ought to distract her for at LEAST 5 minutes...

b_reed23 · 03-02-2006, 11:41 AM

well, Tammy, here is a leg workout for ya!

Walking lunges 20x10, x10, x9, x8 I am thinking about trying 25ers next time...we will see

leg press 230x12, x12, x10
leg ext. 70x14, x12
(OMG...quads are SO fried...)
leg curls 50x10, x10, 60x9, x6

cable leg lifts 50x12, x11, x10
seated calves 50x12, 55x10, 60x10, 65x8

leg press calves 90x12, 110x12, 130x10

Neither of these were a PR, but calves were feeling AWSOME today, I wore shorts to the gym for the first time in like, 6 months, and could really see 'em workin...got me PUMPED!

Now, as I said, I wore shorts, after being there 5 minutes I realized that I was blinding everyone with my legs, and hit the tanning bed instead of the treadmill

It is cardio day. Should I wear my HR monitor?

Fitgirl70 · 03-02-2006, 11:46 AM

I will definitely have to copy down that leg workout...I doubt I can push as much weight around as you are...but we'll see what happens....I need to do legs tomorrow

gwcaton · 03-02-2006, 12:31 PM

dam! It's snowing everywhere BUT here! I want it snow BAD....

Nice on the walking lunges...those just wanna make u cry....

b_reed23 · 03-03-2006, 12:57 PM

today was a shoddy back/bicep workout, after all this work, they were already tired...but I plodded on

VERY wide grip assist. pullups -80x6, x5, increased assist and did a big negatives set. -100x6
close grip rows 75x10, x9, x8
DB pullover 30x12, 35x11
Hypers 25x10, x9
cable curl 65x8

,60x10
hammers 15x12, x11

stroll on the treadmill....20 minutes. 1.07 miles

MAJOR DOMS in my booty today

I was in a big hurry today in the gym, so rest intervals weren't what they were suppose to be, it was just one set after the other

After putting it off for several weeks, I finally went bra shopping, and you know what?? nothing fit right...I usually go with a 34C...so I gave up and came home to measure myself...the area under my breasts is measuring a 30.5"!!!!...now where am I going to find a 30-32C?????sheesh....

Don't get me wrong...I'm losing weight in my tummy, and not losing it in my boobs, which is a big

but now I gotta find somewhere to buy that size reasonably..maybe Ebay??

Way to go on the WIDE pull ups! betcha feel them tomorrow! Gotta good 'finishing' move for the lats. Wish I could show you...easier than trying to explain.
Ok...you know the big universal cage / gym that has pullies opposite each other? (You can do press downs with one or do flyes with both? Kow which one I am talking about?
Well, set the cables to the highest point up. get either one of the balls, or benches and set it in the middle.
You are basically doing single arm high angle pull downs. can u picture that?
Sit just forward of the cables, so when you pull the cables down, squeezing the shoulder blades together, you are pulling your elbows behind your back.
Can you picture that?
It's a GREAT way to finish that body part. The 1st time I tried it, WHEW! My lats were KILLING me the day after....

I envy you. The first place I loose it is the boobs and mine were already small to begin with.

Great job pushing through for a workout

Archie can come to the rescue here. There's a place called Ann's Bra Shop about a mile from his house. It specialises in hard to find bra sizes (so i've heard)
