Man that was awesome! I always feel so good after a leg workout, it feels good to not be able to walk correctly for at least a day. I'm impressed to see those Deadlift numbers going up all across the board (these SLDL's felt awesome today). Also, the leg curl machine only goes up to 205, so I'm awfully close to maxing out on that machine .

Thursday:
Core Workout: Learning Day
Torso Rotations with Medicine Ball (Both Sides): RI - 30 | 4 pound ballx12 reps, 8 pound ballx12, 8 pound ballx15
Crunch with leg raises and 2 pound medicine ball (doing a kind of catch and release with my hands and legs): RI - 30 | BWx8, BW+2x8, BW+2x6
Hanging Knee Raises: RI - 30 | BWx8, BWx5, BWx3 - Really just learning this and trying to get the form down.
Dive Bombers: RI - 60 | BWx5 - This is also very new and I just couldn't do it right so I attempted about a dozen times before I got it to work correctly. Maybe it'll be easier next time.
Cardio - 24 minutes HIIT
10 minutes on an elliptical trainer HIIT. Min hr - 80, max hr - 165, level - 1 and 10, 2 minutes @ level 10 and 160-165 bpm.
14 minutes on a treadmill HIIT. Min hr - 105, max hr - 171, incline 4.0, speed - 3.5-6.5. 5 sets of 60/60 at a speed of 6.5mph and hr - 165-171.
I'm kind of angry that I couldn't get a stair mill for the last half, because two of the six are still out of service (they've been that way for a week now, I'm going to file some kind of complaint about that stuff not being fixed and probably tack on something about not having a dip belt or weighted vest for us to use on occasion).
On top of all that, the treadmill had belt problems and I kept feeling the belt stopping under me (it nearly threw me off a few times).
The main workout was a nice change of pace, my trainer was happy to see that I wanted to spend some time on my core. When we tried the hanging knee raises, I was already half way threw the workout, so I was a bit worn out.
I never expected that to be so hard. I really have some work to do on those!

Yeah, I'm having one of those. I usually just have one cheat meal a week, but today I'm going to have a whole cheat day. It's been way too long. I'll probably pack down about 7000 calories today. I'm bulking anyway.

Ohhhh... 24 minutes of HIIT...
10/19/07
Friday:
Cardio
45 minutes HIIT
20 minutes HIIT on an elliptical trainer. Min hr - 70, max hr - 171. 5 sets of 120/90 @ level 12, 15, and 20 (max resistance - I was really just pushing 45 rpm on this one), hr - 160-165bpm and 70-75 rpm (except the level 20 interval - 45 rpm).
25 minutes on a treadmill HIIT. Min hr - 110, max hr - 172. 1 set of 6.5 mph @ 60/60, incline = 0. 1 set of 8.2 mph @ 20/90, incline = 0. 1 last set of 3.5 mph @ an incline of 15.0 for 30/60. Followed up with solid state cardio for 10 minutes or so. For the solid state segment, incline - 0.0-4.0-6.0-15.0, and speed - 2.5-3.0-3.5-4.0mph, these were mixed and matched randomly (I just won't do an incline of 15 and speed greater than 3.8 mph - too much for even me).
Everything felt great today. I skipped abs today because of all the work we did yesterday, I might get some in on Sunday (after I fully recover).
On the elliptical, when I hit level 20, I was really pushing it (I had to really put my arms into it as well to move the pedals, it felt like a glute-ham workout more than anything else ).
I talked to the trainers about canceling one of the contracts, we decided to kill the shorter and more expensive one in November (this gives me a 1.5 month buyout instead of the 2 month buyout I would have to do if I canceled it now). I also complained to the management about them not having Dip belts or at least a vest available, I'll just have to buy them when I get to that level. Also, I got to yell at them for not having the stair machines fixed sooner (it's been about 2 damn weeks and 2 of the 6 machines are still out of service)!
Todays calorie total -
3200+ a big cheat (I didn't plan on it, but what the hell, it doesn't happen often anyways).

I know! In reality, the first 8 minutes were just warming up. I normally end up with about 15 minutes of actual intervals (much more than that and my legs will start to cry).
Yeah, I'm burning so many calories with my workouts and trying to get by with only 3000 calories on some days, I know that this slip up will not hurt me in any way (heck, the added energy made things just that much easier to handle).

Yeah, I hear you. I usually lose a couple of pounds at the end of every week and have to try to gain it back over the weekend. Right now I'm staying a bit more consistent.
10/20/07
Saturday:
Chest/Tri/Shoulders (kind of):
Dips: RI - 60 | BW-100 x 10, 2 x BW-88 x 8 PR (sort of) for Weight - Kept good form
Superset A: RI - 60
A1: BB Flat Bench | 95 x 10, 105 x 8, 115 x 7
A2: BB CG Bench | 75 x 10, 85 x 8, 95 x 8 PR for Weight
DB Shrugs: RI - 45 | 80's x 20, 2 x 85's x 15 PR for Weight
Rope Pressdowns: RI - 30 | Machine #5x12, #8x10, #10x8 (6 sec negatives) PR for Weight, #8x8 (7 sec negatives)
Cardio - 40 minutes HIIT
5 minutes rowing (min hr - 70, mac hr - 170, level - 10).
15 minutes HIIT on a treadmill (a little pain along the side of my knee made it difficult to run on the stairs - It's that pain that comes from running, like some kind of friction or something). 3 sets of 180/90 @ an incline of 15.0 and a speed of 3.2mph. Min hr - 90, max hr - 165, incline - 4.0 and 15.0, speed - 3.0-3.5mph.
20 minutes SS on a stair mill (min hr - 105, max hr - 152, level 6).
I really wanted to do more of a shoulder workout as well, but I think I burned myself out too much on those dips - still felt pretty impressive to me though. Because of the dips, my bench was a little lack-luster and I decided to not even try any shoulder presses (shoulders started getting really tight - my body's way of telling me I might be pushing it a little today - so I backed off).
Damn, I got another HIIT session this week (that makes 3 so far), and maybe one more tomorrow (If I do it I'm going to keep it extremely short - I'm a little worried about burning myself out because 3 sessions is a lot for me, but I've never done 4).
Oh well, everything was pretty good today!

Looking at your workouts, I think they must be some of the most taxing on IM. Always weights followed by HIIT or long cardio, most people just do weights, or cardio on seperate days.
I just do it this way to save some time. Oh, and because it's "fun!"

Farmers Walk: RI - 60 | 85'sx230 feet - beat my old record by 76 feet PR for Distance
Cardio - 31 minutes HIIT
5 minutes rowing SS/HIIT warm-up (min hr - 75, max hr - 165, level 10).
15 minutes on an Elliptical trainer HIIT. Min hr - 128, max hr - 175, level 4 and 12. 3 sets of 120/90 @170-175 and level 12.
11 minutes on a stair mill SS (min hr - 115, max hr - 152, level 5).
Everything was awesome! I really exhausted my biceps in the beginning, so when I got to the curls, I could barely get the 150 pounds off the floor for 6 reps (my record is 200 pounds for 1 rep). I'm just a little sore right now
D ).
I can't believe I got FOUR (4) HIIT sessions in this week! I guess my body was ready to make up for some lost time over the last two weeks. Man, I'm so tired!

I don't know if I mentioned this, but I based my diet off of your cutting diet. Well, sort of anyways. I added my own twist, but it is working very well. So thank you!

Neck: 19 inches ??? no change
Bi's: 18 inches - no change

Lean Body Mass: 266.56 - up from last week's 264.24 (+1.32 pounds)
Body Fat Weight: 19.44 - down from last week's 21.26 (-1.82 pounds)
Caliper readings - 4 point test:
Abs ??? 7 mm ??? no change from last week
Suprailiac ??? 9.5 mm ??? down 1.5 mm from last week
Thigh ??? 9.5 mm ??? no change from last week
Triceps ??? 5 mm ??? down 1 mm from last week
Estimated body fat % is ~14.5%.
I think that half pound gain is due to the power leg day and the power back/biceps day I just went through. I feel very strong right now, so everything???s all good. The caliper measurements still show some fat loss, so there must have been a gain in lean body mass.

Ok, thank god for reading huh? I was going to immediately going to ask you what the hell you were thinking doing 40+ min of HIIT, but now I see theyre separated sessions.
I pay close attention to HR during HIIT sessions as they are the indicators if HIIT is being used correctly.

Yeah I generally only do 10-15 minutes of minute long intervals.I do them right after my regular workout and sometimes add on a solid state session after the HIIT session - maybe 10 minutes or so (a lot of work)!

10-15 minutes of pure torture is more than enough.......
I might have to get back into the old HIIT, instead of trying to tag a sprint section on the end of my runs...

I am burned out right now!
I ran into someone at the store today (apparently I have some kind of fan base at the gym I go to - everyone sees my progress and when they run into me they want advice or to just chat a whole lot - I love the attention ) I ended up talking to some guy and his girlfriend for about 20 minutes. He just kept on asking how everything was going with the training (by this time I had told him I was with a trainer). It just went on and on (even the guy at the counter got in on some of it). We ended on a little discussion on diet and the huge mistakes some women are making (the trainers - the questionable ones - usually recommend their clients drink a muscle milk shake 3 times a day with milk), we kept joking about how people don't like to take the protein supplements because they taste bad, but they'll dump 3000+ calories into their bodies in the form of 3 shakes - absolutely hysterical, I loved that one (I've seen it happen a lot myself and when I see those magic weight loss commercials I always want to break something 
).
Oh well, enough of my ranting.
I'm going to try a traditional three day split this week because I currently have some plans for Saturday night (going out with my friend and his partner ). Should be fun. I have no idea how much energy I'll have Sunday afternoon so I'm going to push to get everything done by Friday, if there is something left on Sunday I think I'll just do some abs and cardio.
