I would do at least 3 exercises for each....I work bi/tri together and this would be a typical w/o: standing ez bar curls superset w/ overhead tri extension....4 sets heavy Reverse curls or hammer curls superset w/ skullcrushers or weighted bench dips....3 sets Alternating DB curls or preacher curls superset w/ tricep pressdown....3 sets...drop set on the pressdowns. Sometimes I will add a fourth set of exercises if I'm feeling exergetic....this is all done in about 45 minutes or less. |

thanks! w8 - do you think supersetting bis and tris like you do would be a good idea for me or better to stick more with straight sets if i'm trying to build? i've heard both.
i'm going to change my split starting monday. finish this week out so everything gets hit and then change it up. |

having a hectic day at work (all's well just busy)
today's meals are the same. have to log last night's workout though. it was legs and it was a great one. i hated every rep of every set of squats but still did 6 sets. i seriously thought about crawling the short distance from my car to the front door but know the neighbors were looking...i resisted. SQUATS 12 x 65 10 x 95 6 115 8 x 105 2 x 7 x 105 added a bit of weight and a few reps from last week. EXTENSIONS 10 x 60 8 x 70 7 x 70 LYING LEG CURLS 10 x 60 2 x 6 x 70 STIFF LEGGED DEADLIFTS 2 x 10 x 95 8 x 95 calves are still sore from monday! |

funky weekend. i was weak on saturday. figured out why (i think). saturday is the only day i train in the morning and i've been going first thing before eating. that's likely the problem. i won't do that again.
figures it was shoulder day and i wanted to hit them extra hard but all my weights were down and just felt funky. the only real change i made to my old routine this time was supersetting the upright rows and lateral raises. really burned. Smith Machine Presses 12 x 20 lb each side 7 x 25 6 x 25 8 x 20 Super Set - Upright Rows (wide grip) with DB Lateral Raises 35 lb upright rows, 10 lb lateral raises 3 sets 10 reps rows immediately followed by 10 reps laterals. only got 8 reps laterals for last set. BURNED! Rear Delt Machine 10 x 30 8 x 30 10 x 25 Not a great workout. Shoulders were fried but weights were down. Read on...it gets worse. |

Went to Long Beach Saturday with friends. I started off so well - packed my insulated bag with meals for the day.....BUT did I eat them? hell no. I messed up big time.
Lunch wasn't so bad. I got mixed greens salad with grilled chicken breast on top. I added 1 Tbs olive oil and vinegar. That way I got to eat with everone at the restaurant but didn't really cheat. Oh - until they ordered calamari (yes, fried) for appetizer and I ate some. Not much - but I did eat it. Dinner was worse. There I had half a mozzarella (fried again) stick. Ate a club sandwich no bacon and a few fries. Mentally felt crappy - REALLY crappy afterwards for the long drive home. My stomach was a mess too. But it still gets worse. I woke up Sunday morning feeling very hungover - but I didn't drink anything! My head was killing me and I was swollen. My fingers and my eyes were puffed out like crazy. That should teach me not to cheat....What the $%@^&*(@#@#$? Feel ok today. But DAMN! I'm so mad at myself. |

thanks Princess. I really paid for my bad eating Saturday. it wasn't even THAT bad. I mean I'm not happy but I didn't gorge like crazy or even have desert. But the cheats I had were enough to make me really sick. Stomach was a wreck after on Saturday and Sunday I had a killer headache and was actually literally swollen and puffy. Feel ok today but really mad and bummed out.
Wish I could go back and do it differently. Ohwell. Not sure if I should deplete again or just pick up with the regular eating plan. I do know I plan to train HARD tonight! |

feeling just a bit better today. i was in such a bad mood all through last night. still not quite myself. diet is back on track. one thing i really hate about cheating is once i do stray on the diet...i keep thinking about "bad" food for a few days later. once i'm in the groove I don't do that.

Hey, don't beat yourself up about the past- just learn from it! We all cheat!!! I have had the same effects from fried stuff, even the hangover and bloating??? That's weird stuff but don't keep revisiting it. Your attitude is everything and you still look great! Regards- Tom |

I'm here. Busy day at work - last minute scramble before 2 big meetings.
Haven't cheated anymore - feeling good again. Saw some changes in my legs last night that I liked. Nothing drastic that anyone else could see - yet. Trained arms last night. Good workout. Tried dips between parallel bars for the first time and realized how weak I am! I could only do 4! BICEPS Hammer Curls 12 x 20 lb dbs 8 x 25 7 x 25 the 20s are easy and the 25s are so hard! Standing BB Curls 2 x 10 x 45 6 x 55 (i cheated a bit on the last rep. had to!) 6 sets total. Planned to do 8 or 9 but biceps were totally fried. Much more so than usual so it was a good session. TRICEPS Overhead Extensions (cable) 2 x 12 x 25 8 x 30 Pushdowns 2 x 10 x 35 Dips - parallel bars (never tried these before - now I know why) only got 4 reps! |

you're doing great too Leslie! i'm fine for the most part but all hell breaks loose when i slip up (i bet you noticed) i didn't snap out of my funk for 4 days after this last cheat. makes me think it's not worth it - ever. thanks for visiting! |
