I am moving to Europe!!! I'm a Canadian born Czech. DAMN. They should have left me in my home country to drink!!!

A chic on the move.

Hey there Ladies!

NG - Ah, okay... thought you guys were heading there for a field study of some sort, but class party is all the better I expect stories and pics!

CLP - Yeah, beer is pretty cheap in that area... though here its pretty cheap to buy Peroni and other local beers. But being the Labatt girl that you are, I think it would be hard for you to become accustomed to Europe

No work out this weekend... went and partied hard last night, its my last night of vacation so I'll be trying to fix myself for the next week.

Monday

Had a great day... went running three times (once in the morning, once at lunch, and once in the evening) and totaled about 20 miles. Was a bit much, but training periodically like that I could up the intensity per workout instead of being negatively affected by lack of energy.

Kickboxing as well of course, but I wasnt very energetic and was a tad out of sorts as its been two weeks. All in all it was fun though and I got some serious sweating in.

Eggs

Jenny

Running three times in one day!?!?! Eggs, I hate to break it to you, but you are totally NUTS!!! Sure, I love running too, but three times in one day!?!? That's crazy.. lol You're crazy!

Have you stopped weighttraining? All I see is running, kickboxing, running, kickboxing, buying candy for girlfriend, kickboxing..

Anyways, hope all is well,
NG

Tuesday -

Chest, shoulders and triceps!

Chest was solid, feeling pretty good. Did a total of 10 sets with decent intensity.

I stuck to basic bench exercises and did 2 sets of flys, and one set on the pec deck.

For shoulders I Did military presses, side lateral raises and bent over lateral raises. Really workin on my form with the bent over raises, need to figure out how to best hit that posterior deltoid.

Triceps consisted of 6 sets, 2 set skull crushers, 2 sets of tricep pushdowns, and two sets of dips.

And my meal:

Wakeup
5:00AM - 1/2 orange, aqua, Vitamins
aqua
7:00AM Caffe Espresso
8:00AM - Western Omellete w/chicken, kiwi
aqua
11:00AM - Half chicken
aqua
2:30PM - Half Chicken + Salad
aqua
7:00PM Fish
2 cups of aqua
2AM - Protein shake (35g protein... woke up hungry!)

Okay, so thats it... and thats pretty much what my average daily diet is like. I like to eat more vegetables than that though... and I've cut pretty much all forms of carbs out except veggies, fruits, and occasionally a replenishment meal which has rise, etc (which is almost once a day now because my weights dropping so fast, need to possibly increase the carbs even more).

So I'm walking through the piazza after my Italian class and I see this ice cream store my friend owns. Of course I need to talk in and say hello to her... then walk out with a four scoop chocolate coated ice-cream.

bleh.

Well, I wasnt going to until I did that, but tomorrow I'll probably run the 10k they are having at my gym. Perhaps follow up with some kayaking, that might redeem me a tiny bit.

Forgot to post my workout thursday... just a basic back and bicep workout.

Today I ran to my gym, did a little bag work and then took a jog back. Tonight was supposed to be kick-boxing, but I've been skipping because theres a guy there that always bitches when I spar with him. Hey, dont come to contact kick-boxing if yer a damn pussy and dont like sparring with me. So I'm contemplating what to do about that, but I kickbox for fun... and when people like that dude detract from my good time it makes me consider whether I need to be there at all. Perhaps I'll start a sparring club with some friends.

Anywho, have a good weekend all.

I was writing this reply in CLPs journal, but figured it might slow down her page too much so I'll just post it in mine. Its a joke CLP, dont hurt me

I have to admit that my stomach spazmed a few times when I saw what you ate at the Chinese joint... CLP!!

Scene 1:

Location - Gym, Background music - Metallica, about 10 people roaming about lifting weights.

*Kuso and Eggs enter gym that CLP frequently attends... notice CLP tossing around some weights*

Eggs Wow, Hey Kuso... check out that a.. she's a hottie!

Kuso Yeah, thats true. But if you saw what she's been eating lately I think your little fantasies wouldnt last.

Eggs Nah, not possible...

Eggs

*enter Irontime*

Eggs Hey, what up Iron!

Kuso What up dog, about time you showed up.

Iron Sorry I'm late... these two girls.. last night... ugh, never mind.

Eggs Sweet, tell us about it. Ahh, is that CLP on the stairstepper... damn that woman, how am I supposed to work out in here.

Iron Yeah, but the food she eats... like just the other day, she ate like half the damn Chinese resturaunt!

Eggs: No way! I dont believe it.

Iron Yeah, I can prove it... check it out on http://www.ironmagazine.com She keeps a journal there.

Eggs Ahh, whatever, lets just lift.

Scene 1 fades slowly.

Eggs

Tune in next week for when Eggs hits up the journals on IM.com and comes across CLPs eating habits.

btw, CLP... where do you get those Lean Body Texas Pecan Pies? And do they taste like the real thing, just without all the diet killing power? I almost wish you wouldnt describe your meals in such detail, its enough to make a guys mouth water.

Oh yeah, and I worked out today too

Being Tuesday it was Chest, Shoulders and Triceps.

Decline - warmup, 1x10, 2x8, 1x5

Oh, and I've started doing pushups between all my sets. I figured that would be nice. It was, I cried.

Incline Dumbell - 2x8, 1x6

Incline Fly - 2x8, Decline Fly 1x6

Pec Deck - 2x8

Shoulders

Military press - 2x7, 1x4

Bent Over lateral raises - 1x25 (dont ask), 2x10

Lateral Raises - 2x8

Triceps

Dips, unweighted 1x28... weighted 2x12

Skull Crushers - 2x6

*Note: Only do skull crushers after dips if you dont really have many brain cells to potentially damage.

Tricep Pushdowns - 1x8

At this point I kind of figured it would be better to get some lunch. So followed up with a chicken ceaser salad and two burritos.

Eggs

CLPgold

LMAO to eggie. You are too cute!

Mmm the Texas Pecan Pie bars taste like a choc.bar version of the pie. Just super yummi!

A chic on the move.

kuso

LOL Eggs....people think I have a lot of time on my hands

Anyway, I have noticed you don`t have an avatar, and an avatar is one or the quickest and easiest ways of identifying someone. So, being the buddy I am, I made one for you out of a pic I recently posted for w8. It lost a bit of detail, but I still think it matches you perfectly.



this is the max size it can be

kuso

Incase you didn`t see the full sized one...here it is

Eggs

Thanks Bud! It made me a little nauseus at first... you know, the thought of staring at someone elses ball. Uh, not that I stare at my own. After a while it grew on me though, kinda like cancer.

So thanks... oh, btw Kuso, thats not one of your balls is it? Cause I'd feel a bit strange having your sack as my avatar.

kuso

Most definitely NOT one of mine......they are both firmly in place

LMAO that you actually are using it Looking forward to seeing some comments

Eggs

Back and Bicep Workout on Thursday! (and a little 3 mile run... weather is beautiful).

Back:
Lat Pulldowns: 1x12, 2x8, 2x6
Seated Rows: 2x8
Dumbell Rows: 2x8
Bent over Rows: 2x6
Reverse Pulldowns: 2x8 (Grip.. not.. strong.. enough.. agh)

Biceps:
EZbar curl: 2x6
Dropset Barbells: 3x12 (alternating hammer and regular curls)

Decent workout, my biceps were spent at the end or I would have done another set or two. Figured it was better to leave well enough alone.

kuso

Eggs, did you get the second Pm from me? I thought I sent it, but it wasn`t in my Sent tray

Eggs

Got it now, thanks dude!

btw, just so you all know... I went out and took a bunch of pics the other day with my friend. When we went back to download them though, the camera wouldnt cooperate with the computer and so I couldnt pull them off! So sorry, will have to wait until I can find a way to get this to work or buy a new camera. I'm going to do some 35mm and scan them if I have to... but didnt want you guys to think I'd been slacking.

Oh and also, I got 45 dips without stopping yesterday. My goal is to be able to get 100 or higher dips without stopping in a years time. Anybody out there able to do a load of dips?

LAM

Yo Eggs !

how much time you got left in the military ? are you going to re-enlist ?

Dumbest statement made in the Anabolic Zone for Nov

What you talking about Willis ?

Eggs

Hey LAM, long time (this is the LAM I know right?)

I'm out in two months, a month and a half if my early out for college goes through.

Registered at a little college back in Chicago, figure it will give me time to unwind, travel and of course lift.

So yeah, its time for me to part ways with the military. I considered re-enlisting, but I asked to see some action. I didnt want to go back to BUD/S because really my body cant handle that much abuse anymore. Was considering the Joint Communications Unit but I'd already done alot of footwork for getting out at that point.

How are things going for you? Still working the long hours?

Eggs

LAM

Things are great ! I got laid off christmas and moved from san jose to vegas. I've just been chilling..it's been nice being able to just relax and not be stressed out from work, long hours etc. I took a couple months off from the gym, but I'm back with a vengeance now...

glad to see things are going well for you too...you're almost out of there short timer !

Eggs

Well, I'm sorry to hear you got laid off LAM... though it sounds like you've been making the best of it and recharging the batteries O life. Gotta do that sometimes

I dont have any plans to go active reserve, its just another thing to do and I'm going to be busy probably as is. Theres a good chance I'll return to Government Service though once I get a degree or two, but not the military side of the house.

So I lifted these weights yesterday, wrote a song about it, just messing around.

Chest:
Decline Bench x 4
Incline Dumbells x 3
Pec Deck x 2

I know, doesnt seem like much... but I put alot of effort into it

Shoulders
Side Lateral Raises x 2
Bent over Lateral Raises x 2
Military Press x 2

Triceps
Weighted Dips x 2
Tricep Pushdowns x 2
Single Arm Dumbell tricep thingie I forgot the names x 1

So that wraps it up, did 3 miles for jogging.

Oh, did I mention I did a little 5k last Saturday? Yeah, got first place... but I wasnt overly impressed with my time. There is going to be a 10k this weekend, but I'm going to Rome tomorrow for four days. Any of you out there that life in Rome... drop me a note and we'll party.

Eggs

Went on a run today, not going to be able to go to Kickboxing tonight though as my flight is too early and I need sleep.

Anyways, ran 8 miles at lunch time... weather was great and the wind started to pick up a bit at the end which was nice cause its warm out.

Jenny

How was Rome? How was Rome? Are you making the population ready for my coming arrival yet??

Eggs

NG - Rome was great, had a really fun time. Do you like Jazz? If so tell me and I'll give you the name of a little Jazz joint that is really good, just found it this last trip and had a great time there.

No, I didnt work out in Rome. It was nice bit of time off, but I wish I could have gone running in the mornings. I also stepped off the diet and pretty much ate everything in sight, chinese, Italian, and even hamburgers. Guess its time to get back on track with that

I'm not sure if the people of Rome could ever be ready for your arrival NG Guess we'll see in a few months.

kuso

Good to see you had a good time, and made it back

Eggs

Thanks Kuso! It was a blast.

I have a friend who is a pretty big guy and has a large bench (powerlifter) and figured I'd have him give me a powerlifting routine and I'm going to play around with that for a while. I really want to start working on power now that I am into kickboxing. Dont need to bulk up, but certainly to get stronger.

This is the routine I did today. Doing three different routines a week, working different body parts.

First:
Incline Barbell 4 sets / 6 - 12 reps
Flat Bench Press 4 sets / 6 - 8 reps
Clean and Press 4 sets / 4 - 8 reps
Close Grip Bench 4 sets / 4 - 8 reps
Push-ups, 2 sets until failure.

Afterwards I did another set of push ups with my feet up on a bench.

Hmmm good. Well, to tell you the truth, the clean and presses kicked me in the balls. But it was a good kick in the balls, sorta.

Eggs

Wow, less than a day and a half of not posting and you guys already have me on the next page. Talk about faithful! Disgusting

Alright, Back and Biceps, here it is:

Dead Lifts 3 sets / 4-6 reps (whoops, did 4 sets...)
Pullups 4 sets / 8-12 reps + 10lbs (lost alot of lat strength lately)
Dumbell Curls 4 sets / 6 - 12 reps (tried to keep it around 9)

So that was it... in and out then time for Lunch! Which was a quarter pineapple, slice of watermelon and a half roasted chicken. I swear, it attacked me first.

Jenny

Thought it was about time to BUMP this baby up..
Eggie, I think we will need an update here soon... your journal was actually on the BOTTOM of the page.. You suck..

You only do 3 exercises for back and bicep?? you must really go until failure then, aren't you? I do 2 for lats, 2 for "middle of back" (yeah, I know, haven't done my back-muscle-homework lately.. ) and 2 for bicep.. Do I work too hard?
Or is it just you being lazy again?
