Trainers' Competition at work. My results so far...

Today was a weird day. Since the trainers' competition is over on thursday at 1 pm, i have been trying to post some numbers for some of the events, just so that my score card isn't blank all the way across.

So far, this is what I have:

Studio run
(20 wind sprints, about 440 yards with 19 sharp turns basically-- the office girl is beating me by 2 seconds on this. I can repeat it and try for a better time, but i don't think i will.)
1:52

Barrier Hops, side to side
(did this today and the office girl is beating me by a few seconds on this as well... what the fuck! I WILL do this over tomorrow or thursday morning)
60 hops in 0:44
1 Mile run
(did this today -- this time is pathetic and embarassing)
9:13

Pushups, 25, for time
0:29 -- I'm in the lead for women so far.

Squats with 75% of my body weight, for reps
45 reps at 80lb -- I'm in the lead for women so far.

Deadlift, 1 repetition, max weight, from the floor
(did this today -- i could probably have done a good 180-185lb but i didn't want to be stupid so i stopped after i reached 175, since i'm the only girl so far who has done it)
175lb -- I'm in the lead for women so far.

Tomorrow or Thursday i will do the following:
Bench Press with 75% of my weight (80lb), for reps
Rower, 1000 meters for time
Versa Climber, 500 feet for time

I don't expect to do GREAT on any of these, but i want to post numbers anyway, just to add some points to my team's score. That's why i did the mile run.
 
Workout - August 9, 2005

Trainer's Competition Portion of my workout:

25 pushups in 29 seconds
1 mile run in 9:13
Deadlift 1-rep maxed out at 175lb (there is more to the deadlift, as it was part of my workout and i worked up to that 175lb)

Workout:

Deadlift, from the floor
105 for warmup - 8 reps
working sets:
135/6 x 4
155/1

Rope pulls, seated and standing, two arms and one arm
#10 on the cybex tower, high pulley, not sure how many pounds
RI 1:00

- 8 reps from a seated position on the floor, hand over hand four with right hand starting, four with left hand starting

- 8 reps from standing position, hand over hand same as above

- 8 reps from standing position, four reps mostly pulling with right arm, light assistance with left arm, and four reps vice versa

These were SOOOOO FARKING HARD! I was beet red and sweating and panting when i was done. That has got to be the heaviest I've ever pulled on that rope since i started these in my workouts a few weeks ago.

65lb/8 x 4
RI 30

Superset: A) Hammer Curls -- B)Skull Crushers

Abdominals on Ball
20 Crunches, legs together, with Tempo 2/0/2
20 Twists, legs together, with Tempo 2/0/2
10 + 10 Crunches with one leg on the floor, other leg extended in front of me (10 each leg), with tempo 2/0/2
10 + 10 Oblique Crunches (10 each side), with tempo 2/0/2
 
A Peek at My Diet Right Now...

I figured I should post what i'm eating (supposed to be eating) for the next few weeks, in an effort to try to keep myself honest and on track with this...

I am getting some guidance from a local who has first hand experience in obstacle course training/dieting/competition, and is currently training, herself for her next one. The diet is pretty much the same ol' same ol' you guys see all over IM, except maybe a little more carbs than I'm used to since it's for a different goal now, not figure.

Here goes:

The Plan for the next few weeks to see how it goes...
1800 calories
150-180g of Protein
150-180g of CHO
28-35g of fat

--------

A Typical Training Day

Meal 1
6 egg whites
1 egg yolk or 3 fish oil caps
1/2 cup oats

Meal 2
1 scoop of whey
1/2 cup oats

Meal 3
3.5 oz. extra lean ground turkey
1/2 cup brown basmati rice
1 tbsp low-sodium salsa
3 fish oil caps

Meal 4 - Post workout
3 oz. boneless/skinless chicken breast
3.5 oz. apple (half of a medium apple) or half of a medium banana
3 fish oil caps

Meal 5
3.5 oz. extra lean ground turkey
1/3 cup brown rice
1 tbsp low-sodium salsa
2 cups of salad greens
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Meal 6
3.5 oz. steamed salmon fillet
2 cups salad greens
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Meal 7
1 scoop low carb/no carb protein powder with water

----------

On rest days, I will either change meal 6 to be a protein/fat meal or reduce the carbs in meals from 1/2 cup of oats, to 1/3 cup and from 1/2 cup of brown rice to 1/3 cup.

---------

Anyway, just wanted to share...

I have not been 100% disciplined the last two months and it has started to show. I had to start taking measurements and pics for her to see every week, kinda how jodi had me doing it when i was preparing for the figure comp that never happened. :) I took my first set of pics today and I am so grossed out by them I won't even post them. They aren't BAD, but my standards for myself are so high now that I am embarassed. Yeah yeah yeah. go ahead and post about how negative and hard on myself I am (heh heh... i said "hard on" hahahahahaha). I really am. All those "cheats" have started to show and I'm ashamed of myself. The pictures were like a big splash of cold water on my face.:eek: :barf:

So the goal is just to tighten up a bit more? Btw, how are those health concerns that you had regarding your blood test results?
Click to expand...
Nope. the goal is to keep myself fed through tougher workouts (more endurance stuff), and still manage to get a little leaner/not lose muscle/look good in a bikini in case i decide to do the grace & physique round.

As far as my blood tests, have not gotten any more responses from anyone to help me interpret. Whatever. I get my medical insurance this week and then 'm going to go harass the doctor at $10 copay per visit.

Time: 25:04
------------------------------

Other (stuff i had to do for the trainers' competition that was ending today):

60 side-to-side barrier hops for time* = 33 seconds
500 feet on the versa climber at hardest level = 4:23 minutes

---------------------
Newsflash: I won overall female in the trainer competition. It was not because i was the fastest, strongest or toughest. No. there were girls who deadlifted more than i did. Girls who squatted 80 reps to my 45. Girls who bench pressed 12 reps to my 5. Girls who ran 6 minute miles to my 9 minute mile. However, I was the only female to complete EVERY event. I still don't think it was fair that i win over all because i'm not the best one. HOWEVER, the judges have spoken and I am certainly not going to dispute their decision! The prize was a $50 gift certificate to any one of these restaurants plus a $60 gift certificate to use as I please at the gym (pro shop, spa, etc.). I will probably share the gift certificate with the other two girls who i think kicked ass in the competition. But the dinner is definitely all me and P!

and thank you :D
 
aggies1ut said:
First off, congrats :D. :lick: Second, those restaurants all look yummy. Have you and P decided where you want to eat?
Click to expand...
First off, thank you very much!

And second - yes, they all look SO DAMN GOOD! I can't decide. I told P to make the final decision, and he said he couldn't. He is still sitting at his computer looking through the menus now. He said I should pick. At this rate the darn certificate will expire before we decide where to go spend it! hahahaha!
 
I don't give a shit were we go. I just like to eat food.
 
fish, steak....what the hell is wrong with you guys? I just want dessert!
 
big juicy steak
baked potato/sweet potato
shrimp
water

chocolate icecream with hotfudge, peanut butter fudge, whip cream, and a cherry on top should do the trick.

When you visit, here are a few places that are our favorites that I'll recommend gladly and they're not too expensive at all:
The Gracie Mews Diner
Blockhead Burritos
Tottono's (pizza and pasta)

There are a few other places you can check out but you're on your own as I am not allowed to go in them (self-imposed restrictions):
Two LIttle Red Hens (pastry/cakes/cookies/cupcakes YUUUUMMMMYYY)
Emack & Bolio (damn good ice cream)

As for the restaurants on the list in the other entry of mine, i'll let you know what we end up doing and if we recommend or not :)

In a related thought, i guess I've already gotten accustomed to the cost of living here. None of those prices seems expensive to me. A little higher than what we pay for at our regular dining spots, but nothing that i would look at and say, "WOAH, no way!" :shrug:
 
Hey hottie! Congrats on a job well done! I get tired just reading your workouts!
oh..and let's not talk about me...I still have that friendly scathing pm you sent me months ago...I do read it every so often..
:)
Things are ok on my end..just hectic busy....
glad to hear that y'all are doing great!
