I think if I had just one chicken tender... you know those greasy ones from the store deli's... it would put me into a "tender eatin frenzy"

Then I'd have a real bad stomach ache afterwards..

katt · 03-19-2009, 09:01 AM

Today's workout was really tough.. I was tired and my stamina was down..

but - oh well - on with it

Front Squats
wu w/bar 1x6 (95) 1x6, 1x8 (105) 1x8

SLDL
(135) 3x6

Extensions
(180) 2x8 (195) 1x6

Rope Crunches
(75.5) 1x15 (80/72.5) 1x5 ea (75.5) 1x10
ss with
Straight Leg raises (supported on that ball type machine)
3x10

Ok, so the first set of squats just seemed very heavy.. I was like

but, then the brain kicked in and I thought "ahhhh,,,, no carbs"

Then the second set was easier.. and so on and so on....

The rope crunches.. usually I can kick out sets of 15 on these.. but today I did my first set of 15 - went over and did the leg raises, then went back to the rope and thought "dang I can bump this up a bit"... well... I got to 5.. yup.. that idea didn't work

so I put the pin back down to 72.5.

One more full body on Saturday, then we are totally off for the next 5 days

And you know it - I'm getting alot of relaxing time in while I'm there.... NOT! I know even if I want to - I can't sleep when I'm in Vegas...

:jacks :

I always find the first set is like a wake-up call to my muscles - the second set is usually much easier. Someitmes tho, I forget this and it really freaks me out that my warm-up weight gives me so much trouble.

Eeeeew, rope crunches. I see you're still very much the masochist

I missed the unassissted pull ups...as mentioned previously...sha-wing!

What do you do to help with the PU'S?
Do you ever do negatives? (have hubby help you up then do a 4-6 count down?)
Do you wrap your thumb around the bar?
Do you use the gravitron?

Do you ever have a total # of reps you want to do?
(I used to see how few sets I could reach 50 in, for example)

Ever use straps?

Burner02 · 03-20-2009, 11:33 AM

...something I also would do is vary the grip a little every set. Then when strength started to come up, concentrated on wide grip

Burner02 · 03-27-2009, 03:47 PM

hey! Ya know...for being able to bench and squat a plate...I think this is in your realm of abilities...

Welcome Back Lady

Burner02 · 03-27-2009, 07:37 PM

Hiya katt! welcome back!

katt · 03-29-2009, 02:34 PM

whoo heee.... Takes a while to detox after Vegas..

Front Squats
(75) 1x8 (85) 1x8, 2x6

Deadlifts
(95) 1x4, 1x5, 1x4

Leg Extensions
(180) 3x6

HS Calf Raise
(25) 3x12

Lying Leg Curl
(65) 1x8 (80) 1x8

Cable Rope Crunch
(72.5) 3x15

Hanging Leg raise - supported
3x12

Ok, so I reduced the weight on the front squats so I can go all the way down on each rep... which made my deadlifts totally suck!! Oh well,,, have to re-learn and slowly work my way up again.

We gained a few pounds while we were on vaca... too many good (or bad) places to eat and those coyote ugly slurpees... they are my death when we are there... it's either that or Fat Tuesdays.... so... if there is 600-800 calories in a large slurpee at 7-11....take that - add the alcohol..... and....

Dude... I was ingesting the calories..

Time to get back on tract and start cutting again.. it was totally worth it

katt · 03-30-2009, 10:30 AM

yeah .... we even worked out while we were there... found a Golds Gyms that 'looked' close... after our 20.00 cab ride (one way) and 15.00 ea to get in.. ha ha ha ha.. It was a really big gym though .

A couple pics - we did get one great day at the pool called "wet republic' at MGM - an adult only pool.. They had music cranked and it was awesome!

Burner02 · 03-30-2009, 01:22 PM

da-am! Look at those sexy-ass guns!
TOH...you're doin' pretty good too!

katt · 03-30-2009, 08:53 PM

I went tonight and did cardio - incline treadmill. I figured I'd better.... from yesterday's leg workout, everytime I got up from my desk today my quads felt like they were getting tighter and tighter.. I was worried if I didn't go do something I wouldn't be able to walk tomorrow..

Scarface30 · 03-30-2009, 09:04 PM

hey, so what.. it's a few cals. sometimes you just have to let loose! betcha it was definitely worth it, eh?

great pics too, katt

katt · 03-30-2009, 09:10 PM

Yeah,,, I love the club photo where my eyes look like there totally bleeding.....

It was worth it - besides, what do we work our asses off anyway?? I say that as I sit here eating my salad with chicken and vinegar on it.....yum... not!!
