**Built** · 04-01-2009, 05:49 PM

its good to shock the muscles sometimes, go heavy for awhile and then confuse it with an insane workout.

katt · 04-01-2009, 08:27 PM

you did a spin class after that workout????? Are you insane??

sara · 04-02-2009, 07:04 PM

gotta have some good music for a spin/cycling class

katt · 04-02-2009, 08:33 PM

Yeah I actually love spinning, but I'm such a competitive person that I always want to do 150% and I had a hard time keeping my heart rate down and ended up burning precious muscle mass.... so I opted for other cardio instead.

Burner02 · 04-02-2009, 08:49 PM

me ex was a fanatic in spin class. I'd be lucky to just pedal the hour...and I'd look over and see her bearing down...gritting her teeth and....LOVING it...sick, I tell ya...

chiquita6683 · 04-02-2009, 09:05 PM

I go though through phases.....sometimes I love spin class, stairstepper ect and other times I despise ANY type of cardio.
My diet was pretty good today (for me) and my urine is clear!

**Built** · 04-03-2009, 12:47 AM

You're doing stuff your trainer says to do and you don't know why you're doing it?

Damn. That would drive me CRAZY! Aren't you curious?

Yes he always explains everything to me and is patient with me but I can't always remember enough to type it out again. He does have a reason for everything but I just cant always repeat it. I'm not crazy I promise, just a little brain injured

So it is frustrating for me when I'm asked questions that I know the answer to but cant explain it.

**Built** · 04-03-2009, 10:08 AM

I didn't say YOU were crazy lol - I said it would make ME crazy.

Maybe ask your trainer to write it down for you. He/she shouldn't have trouble explaining how your training is being periodized and coordinated with your diet. My small experience with these things is that it's a lot easier to stick to your diet when you can see where the whole plan is going, how it ties in together.

Gracias Senor!
My trainer said that we always change it up to confuse the muscle, sometimes we do 2-6, 8-12, 12-15, 20, or 50+. Its good to not go heavy all the time bc its bad on the joints. He's thinking maybe next week we'll go really heavy for a rep, bc he notices I'm getting stronger, even in my right hand (I was right handed before but after my accidents I had to learn to write left. It was like I had a stroke, couldnt move it at all, few years of therapy and working out helped that, now I'm ambidexterous

) But he said I handled the 50s on chest press really well, so hes curious as to what I can do, so am I.

Why is this a good thing, and how does a muscle get confused?

This is true, but I still don't understand how the workouts are being periodized, or how they are worked in with your diet.

What you are able to do - considering the injuries you have healed - is really commendable.

it kind of shocks the muscle I guess, doing the same routine over and over all the time gets the muscle use to it. We try to change it up, we just rarely go heavy

Thank you! A traumatic brain injury never really heals, u have it the rest of your life, a "disabilty" have u, but it does get better. Broken bones ect have healed. Appreciate the compliment! Thanx babe!

I must say your pretty amazing yourself!

**Built** · 04-06-2009, 06:11 PM

I guess I just don't understand your training but then, I'm not sure of your goals, either.

Are you cutting?

My goal I told you about, I've had ever since I got in my accidents, its like a wish that would be great if it happened.....and I still might do it someday.
But I LOVE to eat (Im sure everybody understands that) when Im on a diet I'm just not happy and I kinda become a bitch especially when cutting, I seriously doubt I could ever do it.

**Built** · 04-06-2009, 06:49 PM

Depends how you cut. I don't like starving, and I love to eat, too.

But low carb, high fat is very satiating.

And pats of butter dabbed on a steak are delicious.

That was how I lost most of the weight when I first started trying to lean out.

Worked a charm.
