BritChick's Off-Season Journal

[BritChick]

yep ... my wife has family down there and I thought she could visit family and I could go watch the show.

Wow, that would be so cool!
Since I will be travelling alone (again!) it would me nice to have at least one person I can pay off to be in my cheering section! lol

What I wouldn't give for Canadian citizenship right about now.

Training is going to be changing up a bit, switching back to a more traditional 3 day training split with cardio 5 - 6 days per week in the morning. I am re-introducing regular cardio as I tend to feel more energized when I do it... even though I hate the workouts themselves. Three days split of day 1 - chest/shoulders/tris, day 2 legs, day 3, back/biceps, abs and stretching I will do outside of the gym. I will be lifting in the evenings now instead of mornings, Rod has asked me to help get his lazy ass back in the gym, he just can't seem to make it back on his own and he's been out for 6 months now, for the most part I don't like training nights so this will be a bit of an adjustment for me. Changed some exercises up also, had to come up with a program that Rod can follow with me, at this point he says he will follow my lead and doesn't care what I have him doing... he might change his mind when we get to the butt blaster , the good thing is I will now have a spot again and someone to push me to lift heavier which is great since I am wanting to bulk.

SOunds like a great plan Britty and very similar to mine! I so hear ya on the cardio thing..I like the long and steady, I feel energized doing it..the HIIT's damn near killed me and I'd dread having to go and do it!

 

[Velvet]

Good morning Britty!

pay off ... I'm sure we could work something out

Brit ... update from last night's PB on the pull ups ... I did 115lb + bw for 1.5 times. I'm thinking that next week I'll be able to do 2 reps. If not, I'll put on 5lbs more and do a close grip and see how that works out. If .... and this is a big if, if I can do the 120lbs with a close grip, I may just try 3 plates ... just for the fun of it. What are the chances I can do it, really really slim, but it will be fun trying.

40 Minutes Elliptical L13

Ah, got busted for doing cardio this morning by my trainers... I'm not currently using them in off-season but I still got in shit! They are both totally anti cardio in off-season, hell they are pretty much anti-cardio for me in pre-contest too... damn I felt like a little kid being caught with their hand in the candy jar... I felt so guilty that I bailed after 40 minutes instead of doing the full 60 I had planned on! lol

Thanks for the birthday wishes.

Yeah, I do have scoliosis... I was actually only diagnosed with it about a week and a half ago though. I have suffered with severe headaches and neck and upper back pain for years, since I was a teen... it comes and goes, apparently I am finding out now this is probably due to the scoliosis.
I do squat yes... although I have to say heavy squats, hack squats or even calf raises anything where the weight is carried across my shoulders tends to aggravate my head, neck, back... the doc didn't tell me not to squat though so I probably will continue to do so unless it becomes too unbearable.

 

[BritChick]

Thanks Jilly and thanks for giving Greeky the info on allsorts! lol
I totally missed that post sorry!
