notes overall: i am not happy with this workout. i feel weak. i feel like shit. mentally i'm all over it. i walk in there with business to tkae care of and i get down to it. but for some reason, my muscles are just giving out on me too quickly. getting through this workout was MISERY.

low cals= low energy= lack of strength.
 
Ivonne, unfotunately while cutting your workouts are going to be less than spectacular. It comes with the territory unfortunately. Just do the best you can but don't expect PR's. ;)

I figured as much, Jodi. I am just in denial. I was so happy to be gaining almost from workout to workout that to have that all of a sudden stop is really frustrating. I think the past three months I've made more strength gains than in all the previous time that I'v been weight training, and not surprisingly I LOVED that. Raw(r) power!

And now i just feel like i'm running out of gas just loading the plates on the bar for squats or walking to the bench with my dumbells.

But yeah, I hear what you're saying... give me some time to just accept it and deal. hahaahhaah!
 
Train Like A Woman - Article by Kristin Reisinger

[font=arial, helvetica, sans serif][size=-1] By Kristin Reisinger

When I was asked to write a response article to an article entitled, 'Train Like A Man,' I envisioned myself writing a highly charged rebuttal piece to a sexist rant chock full of testosterone, andro and a bit of GH thrown in for good measure. After much thought about the topic at hand, I realized that a lot of the author's attitudes and beliefs towards training apply to everyone. Especially us women!

Let me explain. Through the years I have seen many women in the gym lifting these rinky-dink, pink and purple hand weights barely breaking a sweat. I see the same girls do three cardio classes in a row and spend countless hours on the treadmill like hamsters on a habitrail pondering why their bodies look exactly the same as they did six months ago. These are the same girls that come up to me and ask me repeatedly what I do to look the way I do or what do I eat or do I even eat. I even overheard a girl once say, "I'm doing so good today... I only had a bagel and a salad." The list is endless and it is endlessly frustrating.

I wish I had a megaphone right now. Ladies... you need to lift HEAVY to have a physique like the chick from Terminator! When you feel like you can't squeeze out any more reps... do two more! Get calluses on your hands... your man will love it. So many of you comment on how much you'd love to have a body like Madonna or Angela Bassett or Gabrielle Reece but most of you don't do anything to get it! Do you think these women work out with tiny little dumbbells and their bodies look like that by mistake? Do you even know how hard it is and how much meticulous planning and preparation (and testosterone!) it takes to put on muscle and "bulk up" like a professional bodybuilder? I've been lifting as hard and heavy as any guy I know for two years and I keep getting smaller and leaner! I look sexier and more feminine than ever before, too. By really lifting weights and stressing your muscles you will increase your lean mass, and since it is this lean mass (muscle tissue) that burns fat, you will have the capacity to burn more fat even at rest. Combining this with a moderate amount of cardiovascular activity (not three step classes in a row) will turn your body into a fat burning machine. Too much cardio works against you and will eventually begin to utilize your hard-earned lean muscle tissue for energy which is NOT the desired goal.

You also need to EAT. Your need to fuel your body with the appropriate foods for energy as well as protein for the build up and reparation of muscle tissue. Starving yourself is NOT the answer and is more detrimental than most of you realize. It will slow down your BMR (basal metabolic rate) and hang on to every last bit of bagel you consume as stored energy (fat). By eating small, low-fat meals throughout the day incorporating a protein source with good sources of fibrous and complex carbohydrates will stabilize your insulin levels and sustain your energy levels. This will prevent your body from going into starvation mode while giving you all the building blocks you need for developing and shaping your muscles. Plus, you actually get to eat more!

"It's all about ATTITUDE," says the author, and I agree wholeheartedly. I would even venture to say us women need to dish out even more of it than men. If I had a nickel for every time I witness some girl feeling intimidated in the gym because of the presence of a man or give up a machine or a bench because some dude is waiting for it, I'd have a bank account like Arnold. I have gone up to girls in the gym and yelled at them for doing that. Where's your damn backbone?! Self-esteem, confidence and an all-around, I don't give a s--t attitude are all part of the package that go along with my philosophies on training like a woman which is far more attractive than a whole heap of mascara, lip gloss and eye liner. And the gym is our domain as much as any man. Training like a woman is a synergistic framework allowing everything else in life to fall into place that much smoother including relationships, career or whatever you allow it to flow into. Having a great body is merely a fringe benefit. So ladies, to quote a very wise person, "Go hard or go home," especially if you're a woman.
Preach on, sister.

(yeah so i was searching for something wholly unrelated to this -- obstacle course competiitons -- when i happened upon this article on this woman's website - www.kristinreisinger.com. she's got a bunch of cool articles and an overall great website).

Thanks Kerry! Girl, I am so ON this diet, it's crazy. I don't know if you remember how i got when i was doing my body for life thing - we didn't really talk then. But it was the same kind of focus except that now I know so much more and that knowledge just fuels the fire for me. I'm not just blindly following a diet. I know why I'm eating what I'm eating and what purpose every part of my meal is serving. I know what I'm supposed to see happening to my body, I know what to expect and can even predict certain outcomes in certain time frames depending on what I eat or what I do at the gym. It is fucking blowing me away. That and I've got this phenomenal support group (all you guys!) from the beginning. You have no idea how much knowing you all are here with me helps.

aww shit i'm gonna get all weepy and ridiculous.

Let me go catch up on all ya'lls journals, and post about my workout. hahahaha!
 
Workout - March 24, 2005

Legs

Deadlifts
125/12 x 3
RI 30

note: yes RI: 30. Yes, i can't believe I actually made it through this, I could have probably done one more set! Talk about a comeback from a shitty workout a few days ago. It is 10lb less than the last time I tried to do this, but more reps.

DB Walking Lunges
RI 30
25/12 each leg x 3

note: was doing great at first, but was feeling a bit of muscle fatigue toward the end of the last set.Not surprisingly though, I was not out of breath. I could have kept on if my muscles hadn't started giving out...

Superset #1: Leg Extension + Leg Curl - Hammerstrenght Unilateral
RI 30 after each round
40/12 x 2 (LE) + 40/15, 13 (LC)

Superset #2: Standing Cable Ab/Adduction
RI 30 after each round
20/15 x 2 (ab) + 20/15 x 2 (ad)

45-degree Plate-loading Rotary Calf
RI 30
135/15 x 3

notes: could barely finish the last set, so I rested for a few seconds in the middle of that set and then finished it up.

Hyperextensions
RI 30
bw/20 x 3

Crunches on Ball
RI none
bw/30 (legs apart)
bw/30 (legs together)

Stretching - 10 minutes
notes: finally feeling like I'm getting back some of the flexibility I'd lost. My hamstrings, specifically, are still pretty tight. WTF. My RIGHT hamstring is worse than my left.

Posing practice - about 3 minutes before I gave up. I NEED TO HAVE SOMEONE THERE WITH ME FOR FEEDBACK. I feel like a retard just doing it in front of ht emirror at the gym without knowing if i'm doing it right or not. I feel like I'm doing it wrong ALWAYS. I see no improvement EVER.

Overall this was a much better workout for me than the last few. My energy was high, my focus was high, and my attitude was positive. I didn't even want to leave the gym after I was done. I felt like I could keep working out all day because I felt so good.
 
oh, and...

... i have to say this, and not to sound conceited or anything. I am TOTALLY LOVING MY LEGS today. And my abs, and my arms. And even my hair looks great. I feel fucking HOT AS ALL HELL today. :)
 
So I get this phone call...

... and it's a lady replying to an email inquiry i made on a whim at 530 this morning, after reading a job ad on craigslist. A few minutes later, after we exchange a few questions and answers, she hires me for this promo at GNC. I will be an InStone representative at a GNC store on April 2nd for a few hours. I'm giving out samples of stuff, and answering questions and just pretty much talking up the product (which honestly, I have no problem doing since I think the INstone products are great, except the price, and it's gold card week, so it's all good!).

And if the manager likes me and I like doing this gig, every month during gold card week, I will be brought back to do the promo for whatever they're selling that week! WOO HOO!
