Yup - that's me... the other gal is my daughter and her very intoxicated boyfriend,, but - it was his first time in Vegas and he was totally taking advantage of that

Double D · 03-30-2007, 11:28 AM

SheLifts · 07-07-2007, 10:30 PM

wow, this totally went by the wayside...

update: i've actually lost about 8 pounds. i'm looking to go down about 8 more

Here's tonight's workout:

7/7/07

Warm up:
3 min. treadmill
Squat: 20 x 10
Lat Pull dn: 40 x 10

(supersets)
ALL BACK WORK HAS A 4/2/1 tempo.

a) Squat:

50 x 8 (still not comfortable going up since we have no squat rack and i have to basicly snatch the weight to get it on my shoulders)

a) Cable Row @ 70 +/- degrees
80 x 8
90 x 8
90 x 8 (I think I can increase the weight on this next workout a set or 2)

b) Walking Lunge (I curse the person who came up with these)
5's x 8 (each leg)
5's x 8
5's x 8

Notes: Very good workout, very tiring. Legs and back were jelly when I left.

SamEaston · 07-09-2007, 07:30 AM

hello there! Hope you don't mind me asking what your stats are? I think you might be about the same as me, and when i started my journal i had about 15 lb to lose. Im down by half so another 8lb to go, but boy, it's stubborn as hell to come off! I've been 148lb for about a month now!!

Oh and yes, Walking Lunges are KILLERS!!

SheLifts · 07-09-2007, 07:42 AM

i've never had my bf% done, but i'd say somewhere in the upper teens to lower 20's.

ht: 5'-3"
wt: This morning was 148.4

SamEaston · 07-09-2007, 07:49 AM

Cool! Well best of luck to you and i'll be keeping an eye on how you're doing!

SheLifts · 07-09-2007, 07:52 AM

thanks.

best of luck to you as well.

Double D · 07-09-2007, 08:20 AM

I commented on this journal entry on the other site.

SheLifts · 07-09-2007, 08:22 AM

i saw that. and i will use that recommendation since i need to increase the weight.

katt · 07-09-2007, 09:06 AM

Walking lunges are murder!!!! I hate them, but I love them!!

SheLifts · 07-09-2007, 09:13 AM

my buns were quite sore on sunday. and i'm looking foward to doing them again on thursday. how twisted am i. lol.

katt · 07-09-2007, 09:16 AM

Twisted yeah, but your ass is going to look great !

Burner02 · 07-09-2007, 11:46 AM

well! Long time! Welcome back!

SheLifts · 07-09-2007, 07:38 PM

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! typing is even hard to do.

7/9/07

This is probably the last week i'll do the TT program. It's starting to break things up into splits and I'm not really happy with the way it's dividing them up. So i'll probably go back to the push/pull/legs split.

I did this workout with pyramid sets instead of 3 straight sets of 8. no super sets.

Warm up:
3 min. treadmill
bench press 45x10

Bench Press
60 x 112
71 x 8
75 x 4

EZ bar curl
25 x 10
30 x 8
35 x 4

DB Incline Press
15's x 10
20 x 8
25 x 5

Incline Biceps curl
10's x 10
12 x 8
15 x 4

BW Decline Pushups
x 10
x 8
x 5 (this set was 3/2/X tempo)

Concentration curls
10's x 10
12 x 8
15 x 4 (last rep was assisted on the contraction and 8 counts on the negative)

Cardio:
Walk on treadmill increasing incline ever 2 minutes up to 6 on the incline, then lowering back to 1 every 1 minute. My butt is tired.

All in all, quite a workout. Like I said, typing is hard.

SheLifts · 07-10-2007, 07:30 AM

doms today.

ouchie!!

katt · 07-10-2007, 08:27 AM

Don't worry about the doms.... it'll be worse tomorrow

Nice workout though!

Double D · 07-10-2007, 03:24 PM

Your workout just makes me tired.....haha.

SheLifts · 07-10-2007, 03:48 PM

lol. i just noticed a typo. i didn't do 112 reps benching. it was 12.

double d, it made me tired too.

SheLifts · 07-12-2007, 02:57 PM

Legs tonight. I'm going to make out a new program, so i'm just resorting to an older workout I would do.

Squat
Leg Ext
SLDL (normally it was Leg Curls)
1 leg Calf raises

katt · 07-12-2007, 03:51 PM

What???? No lunges???? I guess you want to be able to sit down comfortably this weekend, huh?

SheLifts · 07-13-2007, 01:12 PM

i actually didn't do what i'd planned. i did db squats, deadlifts, lunges, and good mornings.

i'll post my sets/reps/wts later tomorrow when i get a chance.

katt · 07-13-2007, 01:17 PM

YAY - SHE DID LUNGES!!!!! Your ass is going to hurt tomorrow...

SheLifts · 07-13-2007, 01:53 PM

i did pyramid sets with them yesterday. i went up to 10# db's. sheesh, i thought i couldn't walk them back to the rack afterward.

i'll tell ya, they're becoming a favorite.

SheLifts · 07-14-2007, 10:42 PM
