toe press 240 pounds
heel press 240 pounds
seated leg curl 85 pounds
smith rack lunges 50 pounds

Jodi, I emailed you all my questions yesterday. Our smith racks are back in working order so I did those for my lunges today. Let me know if I should do something else. I love leg day! those one legged leg presses literally kicked my butt.

Good to see that you are on a high keep riding it.

I have fibre one every morn in my Protein shake with either some Fish oil or Flax Oil, tastes fine to me, but it is usually down the hatch in a matter of secs.

Hey Iain! Good to see you in here. I will stick with it. You stick with it too!

How's the baby coming along? Do you have your nursery done and all that? The first year goes by so fast, I can't believe my daughter is already 15 months! I used to whenever my Mom would say that but it's actually true.

 

[tucker01]

Buns doing pretty good. Nursery was done a while ago, before Christmas.

We did a bunch of renovations before the holidays, so we finished of the baby room at the same time.

Talk about time flying by, I wish these last 6 weeks would fly by, but we all know they will take forever.

The last month took FOREVER!! I did not gain much weight, but by that time felt absolutely huge! The last month all I did for exercise was take my dog on a one mile walk everynight. My poor dog was pulling me by the end I was going so slow Everything aches by then though. Be very kind to your wife!

I'm so excited! I'm booking the trip today, I think we're going to do an all-inclusive deal.

I'm looking forward to going back to school. It will just be part time this year, then full time starting next January if I get into the program I want.

 

[atherjen]

Thanks - that is my sweet puppy, Haley, she's 4. She's my little love muffin!

I am going to apply for the ultrasound tech program. They only accept 8 people a year so it's tough to get in. I have a B.A. in psychology with a minor in exercise phys but want to do something different.

Thanks babe! How's that Dr. Phil book? I read in your journal that you're reading it. I think that anything that will help you resolve any food issues is a good thing. I have a few myself, that's for sure. You'll have to let me know if it's worth a read.

The row I did one at a time. It's actually 35 pounds on each side, 70 total. The lat pulldown I did together for 90 total, do you want me to do one at a time for those too? Also, I don't alternate, I do one side at a time, then switch. Did you want me to alternate?
Our lat pulldown needs new grips so it killed my hands but hopefully they'll fix it before next week. I know, I'm a cry baby!

 

[atherjen]

Awesome workout HC!! diets looking good too!! Keep'r going hun!

Yes, please do 1 arm for the pulldown and row. Oh and could you please list it as weight per side oppose to total weight. I almost had a cow there for a second LOL! Do no alternate. Do 1 arm at a time. Use straps if you have to to help with the grip on the pulldown. When I do really heavy pulldowns, I use my straps.

 

[Rissole]

Love it

 

[Jill]

Jill, Jodi is having me do 3 sets of 4 for 3 different exercises, at the end of my chest and back days. I want to thicken up the muscles there so I am GOING HEAVY!! I' was doing a lot of high rep stuff which hasn't been giving me the results I'm looking for.
