    so, you were turning heads then? WAHOO!

    is there a boxing club anywhee near where you live? You might want to take a few lessons on how to punch. There is technique involved, and if you do not do it right, you could hurt yourself, especially if you are punching a 70 - 90 lb bag. Get the basics:
    Jab, overhand left/right, hook, upper cut. Maybe get a video. Not a fitness video, but an actauly boxing / training video.

    There are a couple woman at my gym who do some version of kick boxing and they look like they get a good workout. Maybe you could see if anyone at your gym boxes and could give you some pointers.

    Hey hon, how are you doing?
    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...

    hello all!! The Desserts went a little TOO well, I gained 2 pounds over the weekend...it's a good thing I decided to bulk!! hahahaha...

    gonna ask around about the boxing thing...my hubby knows the basics, so I should be okay for a little while

    chest/shoulders/tris Rep Range
    Inc. db bench 30x8, x7, x6
    DB bench 30x9, x8
    DB fly 15x12, x11 AWSOME squeeze at the top!
    single DB military press 20x8, x6
    side lats 8x10, x9 (lowered wt so I could get a good squeeze at top of motion)
    o/h DB ext. 30x11, x10
    single cable pressdown 30x12
    standing cable crunch 100x20, x20, x20
    reverse crunch x20, x16, x15
    dec. situp x20, x20, x20
    cable obliques 60x15, x15
    total: 201
    eliptical, 20 minutes 1.59 miles, nice and easy

    I feel like my arms are bigger...haven't really measured yet, but will soon. I am going to try to post pics and measurements every 3 weeks or so to track my progress with my creatine, I definetly feel a bloat..but not really very badly, mostly in my belly (could be the turkey and dressing though )

    think of all the stored energy u have for the next few workouts!
    (again, it's all matter of perspective)

    Remember:
    Keep your dukes up! (WTF is a duke? and how does that translate to a fist???)
    keep your hands up, chin tucked
    Does not matter which hand u are gonna strike with, when u throw the punch, snap it back into guard (FAST! Dont give your 'opponent' anything to grab hold of) ((train like u are gonna fight)). ALWAYS keep your hands up! (even if u are not ever gonna fight, perfect practice makes perfect)
    When u are punching the bag, aim for 6" past the bag. (if u aim for the bag, u are gonna be too far out, not en effective strike. (only make a small 'pop' when make contact. When u aim 6" behind the bag, you will drive thru the bag. Make a solid THUD. (this is where u HAVE to have wraps. Imagine your body punching into a 70 - 90 lb bag...your wrist is gonna get wrecked!)
    Forcefull breathe out when u punch.
    Always....step in with your jab.
    When u do combos, jab, then do something else: hook, overhand left / right (power hand) upper cut, then jab back out as u step out of range:
    ex: jab, jab, overhand, jab out.

    oh..and dont forget toget the sound tracks to the Rocky movies to play in the back ground...it's paramount...

    I agree on the wraps...can't be overstated. I've worked my heavy bag with and without them, and would never do it without again.

    Also, a great tip from that movie is to hit the bad as it swings away from you, not at you. Try working the heavy bag hard for 3 min, rest 1, then back to work (simulates boxing rounds.)
