Chest/Bi

A. DB Press.....(22.5lbs*) reps: 8,7,8,8,9= 40
....DB Curl.......(15lbs*) reps: 8,8,8,8,10 = 42

B. Incline DB Press.....(20lbs) reps: 8,8,8,8,10 = 42
....Hammer Strength Preacher..(25lbs) reps: 8,8,8,8,10 = 42

C. Incline Flyes....(22.5*lbs) reps: 8,8,8,8,10 = 42
.....Incline DB curl....(15lbs) reps: 6,6,6,6,5,4,4 = 37

I had an awesome workout... great pump afterwards...went up in the db press, db curl, incline flyes. So pretty happy today

Still, you are obviously not going heavy enough, if your reps aren't decreasing by the 3rd or 4th set.

Really?

I'm sitting here and my arms are hurting!(bis)

My chest is OK. (what chest! )

I dunno if I can go higher cauz I was really pushing it at the end. Plus I'm afraid to injure myself...

What I like bout this style of training is that I can see my weights increasing and my reps. I'm pushing myself.

I think I will increase next week then...

Oh, lala...yes she must be flexible too! You ought to take a class with her! Make sure you wear long pants, if you wear shorts God only would know what might fall out when you have one leg behind your neck and the other leg is standing straight up on the floor!

Hubby still doesn't know... maybe tonight!

Why would you get injured if you use strict form?

If you can keep up the same number of reps, ya'ain't going heavy enough.

 

[dvlmn666]

Actually if you look her last set is the highest number of reps on almost everything. Which means you have to up the weight, because you can definately handle the weight very well that your doing.

 

[Twin Peak]

Also means she likely isn't warming up well enough. For shame.

 

[lina]

TP and dvlmn,

I agree. I think is more of a mental block that I'm trying to overcome and also trying to see where my strength is at. I am slowly learning week by week where my strength is at and upping it. Next week I will up them again.

Also, with this type of training after yesterdays workout I realize a CKD diet is not best for me. I do need my carbs to refuel after such intense workout for me. Maybe after this 8 wks is over I'll try it.....but that bowl of Capt'n Crunch does sound yum! In my case it would be a bowl of Honey Nut Shredded Wheat

hiya L!
Oh, damn...she said it...I'm suprised TP didn't jump you on this one...You do of course know how hard it is for a women to get BIG legs? Are you taking a testosterone supplement?
Rip them legs, lady! I doubt that they will get huge!

TP can better tell you than I...but I wouldn't be too worried about getting to big...

Cottage cheese for breakfast? You my dear...are hard core!

 

[lina]

TP, I am not rude like that in person ... online that's a different story... J/K

Burner, I kinda have a different thinking about legs vs arms. Arms I have no fear of going heavy but legs I do think they will bulk since there is more fat there and tend to make my legs look thicker.... Maybe I'm wrong on this one too... but I read that many competitors try to tome down their legs by doing lower weights and higher reps How are ya btw? Getting ready for the weekend?

 

[Twin Peak]

Good point burner.

Lower weights and higher reps, BAH!

You either build muscle or you don't. If you are perfectly happy with the AMOUNT of muscle, then fine, just seek to maintain, nothing wrong with already being perfect.

But if you think there is a such thing as workout to improve TONE, again I say -- BAH!

Just lift heavy, and if/when they get too *musclular* (as opposed to too big), then you just do legs less often, say everyother week, or you reduce intensity for maintenance.

 

[Twin Peak]

And you don't want to explicitly tell them so, just chuckle when they are doing their sets.

 

[Burner02]

Hey!
I am fine...about to go and eat...hmm...food...
80% lean burger...w/ cottage cheese....

This is my last day shift for the next two months...I have this weekend off form here, and will be working the club all weekend...I might even get to get a nice motorcycle ride in on Sunday. Cannot get up too much into the mountains...too much dirt on roads..plus bike needs some maintenenace...so no pushing it..
What are y'alls plans?

Actually I don't know what I should be doing but noway I'm posting pics of my bubble butt and thunder thighs.. I think when God was giving out butts to all Asians he gave 'm all to me!

I do have lots of muscles there but also lots of fat...

 

[Burner02]

Lean burger and cottage cheese sounds good now...I'm hungry too!

Last day shift? Awww that sucks!

Have fun on your ride on Sunday! I thought you sold that thing. Must be nice to be able to take that thing out on a gorgeous day.

Our plans? I think we need lots of yard work to be done and eventually take down those christmas lights outa our bushes

I'm gonna try to get a sitter for me and hubby to do something fun. I help my friend decorate her tables for an Oscar party this last Sunday and she gave me a nice gift certificate to a restaurant so maybe we'll go there!

 

[Twin Peak]

On a serious note, we can discuss this via email, if you like.

So there..

Just take my word...

When I do SLDL in the gym...everyone stares...and gets outa way!

 

[Stacey]

Hey lina!!! Just reading your journal! Your doing great girl!!

I LOVE YOGA! I do different moves every morning!! 2 yrs ago I would go 3 times a week.. learned a lot.. Now I have videos
It TOTALLY will increase your sex life

 

[lina]

OMG Stacey!! It will? Why didn't you tell me sooner! j/k

Yeah, I can see it already! It is a great workout and I am trying to get more flexible for my dance classes!

My only dissappointment was towards the end they go into this meditative state but it was too short... I wanted it to last longer. But it ended at 9pm so maybe they didn't want people to fall asleep and stay in the gym!

IM is ssooooo slow today.

that may be what you think is going on..butt..take it from a guy who ALWAYS gets busted for looking at teh cute girls on the butt blaster machine...
they are probably trying to be polite and not stare at teh hot, sultry, even when 'stinky and sweaty' I think you put it lady in front of them...I mean...if you get hit on all washed out from your workout....you must be doing something right.
I am cutting you no slack. Modesty is nice, but self depreciation isn't gonna work with me!

 

[Stacey]

GO BURNER!

I Love that butt blaster machine~ mine your laying down almost flat (like the lying leg curl..kinda)
I'm VERY modest.. I hate doing it when the gym is packed, I just can't..lol!!

Yep, yoga's great! Have fun with it! You will get super flexible!

 

[Burner02]

lying down, eh?
The one at my gym....the girl's on...all fours.....glad that machine isn't in the benching area...or there wold be a LOT of accidents!

She is a silly little Lina, isn't she....

 

[Stacey]

YA OOOPSSS MY BAD.. YOU ARE ON ALL FOURS.. BUT like in lying over a bench holding u up..type thing!!

 

[Burner02]

I can never visit your gym on leg day...

It's supposed to be almost 70 degrees on Monday! I am going to have to steal a little time to go and ride int that weather!
hm, or put air in my mtn bike and take it to the park and hit the trails.....
