Thread: Feelin' the HEAT!

Solid looking workout, man!

Are you doing just simple 3x10 with 1-3 min. RIs (or something like that)? Are you doing anything special.

I wanted to lose weight, the short RIs, heavy weight, and biking have really helped me to drop the weight. I've lost about 14 pounds (and 2 inches off the gut) in four months or so.

Good luck burnside! You will be fine. Slow and steady!

DOMS:
1st exercise: 5X5, 2nd: 3*10
D: Thanks

ok...I've got a...um...'joint cardio session' this evening....so I am gonna do standard 'CYCLE I' workout. (tonight, just chest/bis) For times sake.
Then head over for...cardio...
Will start regularly scheduled 'CYCLE II' next monday...

Best wishes on your goal my Friend, I have faith in ya!!! Can I suggest cutting down the volume though (not just cause I'm not into volume) but because of the punishment and abuse you will take w/ kickboxing 3 or more days a week, don't want to overtrain and hurt yoursel!!! Just my 2 cents my Friend, not trying to ignorant!!!

Oh boy, a new journal to w ... w ... , er, wish you the best of luck. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Hey Arch!
U think its too much volume? 2 exercises per BP? What would u suggest? Once I start the KB...I'll feel how my body is handling it and adjust accordingly..

Good luck buddy! I can't believe you have a new journal, that other one had so many hits, it was like a God among Gods, well ok, not really, but it was one impressive run in that journal, that's for sure!

And boy, if 2 exercises is too much volume, I dunno what to say man

A new journal from Burner! Kewl. 7 lbs a month may be a little much. Shoot for 1-1.5 lbs a week, like DD said 'slow and steady'.

You probably know about Fitday, but if not, sign up. It is a great free tool.

Chest:
Bench Press:
135*15, 185*10, 225*6, 245*4, 245*4

**time - felt good tho. Had to rendezvous w/ my um...cardio partner...

'morning, Stew, JD!
Naw...that journal got too whorred up...went pages w/out any workouts...so gonna try and keep this one more business...
I've been to fitday...they don't seem to be geared for BB'ers, do they? I don't recall...

Hey man new scenery means no time to slack its KICK ASS TIME! Dont think of slackin off here b/c I'm kickin it into overdrive w/ ya! I got 13lbs to go. If I of all people can do it you can too!

I'm down to 183 from 224 mi amigo!! I want 170 and damnit I WILL HIT IT! Theres no id like to I'm going to and the only person that has a chance of standing in my way is myself and that just aint gonna fly!

So its go time mike! Just keep the diet in check and dont bite off to much just yet...take it slow. This is a marathon not a sprint. Shoot your load to soon and there is no reserve for the final length. Start your pace now and build up in the weeks to come!

well...been a shitty week. I know...I know...I got hit HARD with allergies...barely see, sneezing...itching...miserable in general. But, whatever it was seems to have passed by this morning....or the drugs I bought are REALLY good.

No, that is different. I mean this site
FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal .

Good to see you back at it, B! Good luck!

I'm looking to cut about the same amount as you in the same time frame. I'll race yo to the bottom!

Hi Burner.

hey!
ok..last week: doesn't count. Nope. Not at all.
this week: fresh start: Cylcle II.
Boxing at 7:30pm....'k Py...c-ya at the low end of 180!

nothing happened this weekend. Stayed in pretty much all day Saturday...miserable w/ my allergies...Sunday was at an open house...no prospects...
Have had a bugger of a time finding wrestling shoes for boxing. Evidently...only are sold seasonally? So next month they should be stocked. Am gonna try and use my Ottomix lifting shoes till I can get what I need.

For not working out.....your bench is still pretty good.

NIIIICE!!!!!!!! A journal by Burnsy? SWEEEET! SWEET ASS SWEET!!!

It's terrible how we are always our own worst critics. But being as it may, we are. You are always going to see yourself worse that you are. But only you know how you feel. Only you know what you would like to look like. And only you know what you can and ARE WILLING to do.

I have been your biggest cheerleader for so long Mike and you know I love ya darlin'....but it is time for you to do something for yourself. You've been so busy for so long working on work and housing and all of this other stuff just to live. It is time to do something solely for yourself.

I believe your goals are realistic. I believe they are attainable and I DON'T think that 7 pounds in a month is too much to ask. I've done it, plenty of people have done it. Don't stress about it.

As far as the food goes, just know that you CAN make a healthy choice anywhere and everywhere you go. Every single place on earth now has some sort of a chicken salad or steamed veggies and everyone has chicken or turkey. Just remember that you DO eat healthy, you WILL eat healthy and anything else is just wrong. The better you feel about yourself, the better you'll feel about your diet, the wiser choices you will make.

I can't wait to hear all about your workouts that you ARE GOING to do and all about how wonderful you're feeling.

***was ok workout...took too long. Don't get down on yourself....at least you did a workout!

So what's your point? Don't worry about World's, just go back to 24 Hour. Yes it's going to be crowded -- lots of other fitness enthusiasts just like yourself want to be there too. Don't sweat the small stuff.

"probably rotating your wrists, this is an up/down movement for your delts/traps, should not involve your wrists other than holding on. Am I right DB/Arch?"

--hey! You ROCK! That's why u are my most favoritist Texan!
My form was spot on...but wrist did not much like the cambered bar. I may try it w/ oly bar...but think that would be more tension on the wrist...
