How you finding the HIIT cardio on the eliptical.

I find it far easier, and more rewarding outside running, or on the treadmill.

Always felt a bit silly pounding away on the eliptical. But, if it ain't broke.....

Did you watch Age of Love last night?

Id do HIIT on the treadmill or outside in the sun if I could, but with my shins, I shouldnt.

Ive been wanting to go to this place to get these special shoes (after they watch me run) to help alleviate them, but theyre expensive and I have to start saving money now.

Eliptical still works though, so no problem.

okay, so Maria finally eliminated herself, then Mark tells her that he was planning on keeping her around. Then, Mark tells the three remaining girls that they're taking a trip to Austrailia to meet his family. Megan freaks out because she has a serious fear of flying. They get to the airport, walk down the ramp to the plane, and Megan starts crying and walks back out. So she quits. Now it's just Amanda and Jen. I'm really pulling for Jen now that my girl Megan is gone.

Jen is the 48 year old?

I CALLED IT!!!!!!! I knew theyd be the last of the last.

Maria quit? Fine, but I wish he eliminated her, but hes a fucking moron as Ive already stated.

Megan getting eliminated by default kinda sucks for entertainment value.

Skipped Cardio today.

Changed the oil in my car though...noticed my filter was leaking too. Oh well.

Tomorrow, I go to Fleet Feet to see if they can fix me a new pair of *better* running shoes. Then off to the gym.

katt · 07-31-2007, 11:50 AM

In my "dream world" I would never never have to do cardio....

AKIRA · 08-01-2007, 01:33 PM

Static Stretched

Insert exhausted smiley here..
I was really tired today. Some failures and HIIT was cut down a bit.

Bound to happen.

The presses will have to stop here. I dont like swinging these DBs up like I do..especially, 8 times. Going to have to rethink this.

Pullups felt strong but they got me at the end.

Seated Row was really when my fatigue showed.

The isolations were fine though.

Still a good day.

goob · 08-01-2007, 02:01 PM

Great pull ups. How did you do the hise's? Pause for 3 seconds at the top?

AKIRA · 08-01-2007, 03:13 PM

No, its a 1/1/1 tempo really. I used to use 275lbs and was going to today...but that was my plan before I actually started to workout. I am still tired and Ive taken 2 ephedras...

By the way, my weight was 209.5lbs today. My calories have hovered 2000-2500. I am going to increase it cuz even though it seems like great weight loss...its showing its effects. All that will happen now is a decrease in intensity. I kinda dont care as long as I achieve my goal, but well...ya know...who wants to lose muscle?

katt · 08-02-2007, 08:35 AM

Nice WO AK... you're going to be tired, it's all a part of the game. Just be careful with the use of the ephedra..

AKIRA · 08-02-2007, 08:40 AM

Ive actually always liked ephedra's effect more than caffeine. I get anxiety pretty easily, naturally too, but both of them are just about equal in that department.

I never do more than prescribed and yesterday was the first day that I took 3 a day insteads of 2.

Empty Calories = Beer????

AKIRA · 08-02-2007, 10:42 AM

Yeah. Bacardi & Diet...but when the buzz took over and my wallet started to get light, I switched to $1.75 MIller Lites.

katt · 08-02-2007, 10:47 AM

I don't go to beer,,,,, I go with tequila shots... That's so much worse!

Hell no. Those pills have a pretty good mixture of stimulants. The only caffeine I would get would be from diet cola or Excedrin.

What is the coorelation of women and Tequila? I think its horrible. I mean, I come from an understanding that I am not drinking alcohol for the taste, but the alcoholic effect. However, tequila takes it to a whole new "sea" tasting level.

Ive tried all different kinds...from chilled Patron to microwaved Ceurvo (sp?) as a bet. Its always been bad.

Oh yeah...192 MHR. (wont let me edit)
