Miss Springsteen's Road To Domination!

[SVT03DAL]

Jeez thats crazy..i never been to a thrash metal show before lol. Thats good that you are pretty much 100% though. I have been having shoulder issues for a while now and its a pain in the ass.

Yea, I know all about shoulder/rotator cuff injuries all too well. Last year was the worst but I managed to train through the pain and now (knock on wood) everything is 100%. doing rotator warmups/exercises seemed to be of huge benefit prior to and during any type of chest or delt training.

I agree the protein is fine just with water. I prefer my protein with water anyways.

Why no milk? Sugars?

Do either of you ladys have experience running t3? Im knew to this forum. My fiance and I are in a contest to see who can lose most bf% before our destination wedding in December. Ive been having no problem recomping, but she is having a tough time losing weight. She's a former D1 athelete, and knows how to train. We've both been tracking macros and basically eating the same thing. She has a lower calorie maintance than me, so her portions are smaller but lots of lean protein. I shoot for a 50/30/20 ratio (p/f/c) because Im very insulin sensitive and carbs are my enemy.

Anyway, shes been struggling to lose bf and it looks like there are some in shape females on these forums. The other forums Ive joined dont seem to have many female members.

I was thinking of recomending t3 to her to kick start her thyroid and metabolism, but Ive never heard from a female who's used t3. Her bf is too high right not for Var to be effective, and Im not a fan of Clen or Albuterol...Any advice or exeperience you ladys could share would be great.

I know you have probably heard it enough but...diet and cardio is key. Stick to it and be patient bc change doesnt happen overnight. You should get your post count up so you can receive PMs

I had a great back workout on wednesday..veryy sore! Didnt record it because im trying to get use to the new gym. Today is leg day and im going to DESTROY them(in a good way of course!) lol

 

[SVT03DAL]

Have fun killing those wheels (in a good way lol!). Training at a new gym always comes with a big learning curve with the equipment and fellow members, good luck!

Fellow members are the biggest challenge in a lot of gyms. I like to put my ear buds in and crank out my workout. It's seems like 90% of the people are their to socialize. It's not a bad social outlet, but I'm their to get shit done. I am polite, but I just crank up my music and ignore people. Hard to get a focused workout in when people are standing on machines talking or trying to talk to you the whole time. I'm sure it's harder for women.

I worked legs yesterday and my glutes are sooo sore! Cant wait for the next leg day!

I worked back today and it went great. Was trying to try some different exercises to get out of the same old routine.

 

[Miss Springsteen]

I am a huge fan of Oksana Grishina! I was watching one of her videos just now, seen her doing this dance and thought it was funny! I had to make it a gif enjoy lol

Great way to train...keeps things from getting stale and forces the body to continually adapt and GROW!

Exactly! I never give my muscles a chance to get use to certain exercises and it has been working very well. I have a hard time finding new ways to work my biceps though. Hopefully i can find some fun things to do at my new gym.

 

[SVT03DAL]

So are you training for anything in particular such as an upcoming competition or do you train for the love of training and to look/feel a certain way?

No there arent any competitions i am training for right now BUT i do plan on competing in the near future. I just LOVE training, pushing myself to a new limit everyday and looking in the mirror with complete confidence but still knowing there is more room for improvement

 

[SVT03DAL]

I think you should take/post more progress photos

 

[Miss Springsteen]

^^ah yes i know..i havent updated my pics in a while. Hopefully will be able to get some up soon!

UPDATE:
I have been getting some great workouts in this week @ my new gym! I am really getting the hang of it I will start to record my workouts starting next week. Today i will just do a bunch of cardio(bike, stairmaster, elliptical and treadmill). On a downside, I made a stupid decision by working shoulders(very light) a couple of days a go and i really shouldnt have. Having horrible pain now..even worse than normal. Feels like it has to pop everytime i move it. This crap gets in the way of a TON of other exercises and im pissed.

 

[SVT03DAL]

Make sure you do your rotator warmups...

 

[Kleen]

Try icing them real good or better yet ice them then apply heat. Also try sleeping on your back for a little while if you can. I found after my shoulder surgeries that helps when my shoulders are getting achy. We tend to lay on our arms and shoulders in all kinds of weird angles when we are sleeping. Arms over extended under our own weight, at odd angles that apply stress to the joints. There is a really good product called Blue Goo or Blue EMU that is a transdermal solution of emu oil, msm, glucosamin and a few other things. The EMU oil doubles as not only a very effective transdermal carrier, but also a strong anti-inflammatory.

Are you doing rotator cuff exercises, you can do them between sets

 

[Miss Springsteen]

Yeah i always warmup and it felt great at the time but now...not so much

I have been putting ice on it for 2 days now but today i will start applying heat after. Yeah i havent been able to sleep on my side since i first messed my shoulder up so i definitely cant now and it sucks! Cool, i will look into that stuff asap..Thanks soo much Kleen!

Yeah i was but i wont be able to do anything at all with them for a while

 

[SVT03DAL]

I hope ya feel better soon...

 

[Miss Springsteen]

Yesterday i did 5 miles on the bike..10min on the stairmaster(as fast as it can go)..and ran on the treadmill for a while at 6mph. I got home and worked abs for the hell of it.

Today i will do some training in my backyard(a few laps, box jumps and suicides **all done with 5lb leg weights on each leg) I normally do a lot of training with a 10lb medicine ball but cant because of shoulder

Tomorrow i will play some beach volleyball!

 

[Miss Springsteen]

I hope ya feel better soon...

Thank you so much!
