rockgazer69 wants muscles..&..needs advice

[Little Wing]

no. i looked at one of the machines closer today and it says poundage, overload poundage. that's what the different numbers are.

You cant switch them from "poundage" to "overload poundage"?

Ive never heard those terms before.

 

[Little Wing]

Does anyone know what poundage overload poundage means?

 

[vanity]

no. i looked at one of the machines closer today and it says poundage, overload poundage. that's what the different numbers are.

They must be Farmed Poundages.

 

[Little Wing]

Are they as bad as farmed salmon?

 

[nikegurl]

are you using any free weights? you'll make better progress if you don't stick completely with machines.

 

[Little Wing]

i'm going to buy some freeweights. just the bar at my gym is too heavy 45 pounds. no you can't cange the weight from 1 to the other i think what it means is that that is the weight or resistance your body feels as you move through the lift, press whatever.

anyway yesterday

[nikegurl]

does your gym have dumbbells? that would solve the problem of the bar being too heavy and get you going with free weights.

 

[Little Wing]

it isn't really what you'd call a gym. it's an old school weight room in a hotel up here. i like it cuz it's empty 99.9% of the time open late at night, you can crank whatever music you want, pool n hot tub are generally empty too, you can even bring your dog but the equipment is old n limited. there are two sets of dumbell things that are weight adjustable. they look weird n akward guess i'll ask this guy that uses 'em what's up with them... thanks.

Did you ever figure out the difference in numbers?

 

[ihateschoolmt]

What's a navy seal crunch?

 

[Little Wing]

Did you ever figure out the difference in numbers?

yeah it's pounds and overload poundage. something to do with resistance i guess. there's no way to adjust it i think it's just supposedly what work load your moving as you move through the lift or press.

 

[Little Wing]

What's a navy seal crunch?

i'll scan n post the exercise later it's something i got out of Men's Health.

Cool Down bike 10 minutes.

Why do you have to let the bike cool down?

 

[Little Wing]

Why do you have to let the bike cool down?

it gets all reved up from Tyler playing on it while i work out

 

[sara]

rockgrazer, I really like your kitty avi

 

[Luke9583]

Why did the fisherman cross the stream?.........






Just for the Halibut.

 

[Little Wing]

were they farmed halibut? farmed salmon is so good but i guess it's horrible for you....

 

[Little Wing]

the last time i went to work out there was a smell. a really bad smell. i can't go back there. i'm anal but this smell was a whole nother splash of hot wax.... i contemplated bringing lysol, the green apple stuff is really nice, couldn't do it . so i just bought a weight bench n 110 lbs of weights, a barbell n two dumbell thingys. it's a nice bench but simple you can use it flat or inclined n it has a curling thing n things for leg extensions and leg curls. in a few months i'm upgrading to a nice home gym but this'll do for now. oh n having a heavy bag delivered (i couldn't resist).

I equate splashes of hot wax with GOOD THINGS

 

[Little Wing]

okay. i'd have been better off sticking with the gym smell and all than converting to home workouts. i'm horible at staying motivated. recently tho i have recommited and am doing better. a lot of bike riding and some cardio on a mini stair stepper i like but i need to utelize my weight bench a lot more and stick to it. it has an attatchment for leg work and a curling pad. so here is my equipment




barbell bar and dumbell bars w 110lbs of weider metal plates.






pilates resistance band.

my diet is really clean. chicken, brown rice, oatmeal, beans, veggies, fruit. lots of water n a multi vitamin.

i can feel my muscles taking form underneath the bodyfat but the bodyfat is not leaving soon enough to suit me. having a journal here motivated me before i quit the gym, and i'm moving to bangor sometime this spring where they have a gold's gym. in the meantime here i am again.

hi sweety. i have a new journal now Little Wing get's serious. even has some new pics of what my body looks like now. trying to get back in shape. it's easy if i can stay motivated. funny u said hi... last night i dreamed i bought a house in florida. how have u been?

 

[Little Wing]

not sure if it's okay to write in n thus bump your old journal. just wanted to say my body has changed a lot since the 9/6/2005 entry. i didn't really work out near as much as i should have in that time but the pics from then to now have been very motivating and convinced me to give my workouts more priority. i used photoshop to attatch the pics side by side or top bottom to compare. the camera doesn't lie n when it has something good to say it is very cool.

also i wanted to thank everyone for the advice in here.

 

[ZECH]

So where are the pics?

 

[Little Wing]

i put some new ones up in my new journal and the contest thread from dec 25th. in my journal some are 9/05.
