That is the plan. You may also get to me the infamous Red that I have mentioned that is currently in Iraq. He is scheduled to arrive back state side on or about March 1 and told him, "I was going to the Arnold (if I get the weekend off, which I should) and if he wanted to spend time with me than he better plan to attend the Arnold." Lucky for me he is into lifting too so it is something he will enjoy.

make sure she wears that hot pink number in her gallery....

Sorry that number rarely comes out and only for private showing.

Trip-Aww, it's ok there will be other times I'm sure that a meeting could be worked out.

Hmm....so she DOES stil have it....

I didn't post it last night, but I worked abs a bit yesterday. I'm going to pay for it tomorrow.

2/15/2006- Abs
Situps x 30, 20
Bicycles x 20 each side, 20 each side
Laying leg raises x 30, 30

Today I worked with trainer focusing on isolating chest. I dropped the weight a bit, but upped the reps. We did this as a circuit of sorts.

2/16/2006-Chest-weights are per arm

warmup: walked 1/4 mile, jogged 1/2 mile, walked 1/4 mile

Hammer Strength Iso lateral decline chest press
20 x 12, 12

Hammer Strength Iso lateral incline chest press
20 x 12, 12

Pushups
BW x 10 + 10 (on knees), 10 + 10 (on knees)

Decline situps with twist at top Done in the middle of the above circuit
25-30 (lost count when abs started screaming and trainer kept saying nope didn't count didn't touch both knees )

Single arm cross over*
20 x 12 + 1 negative

Cardio
Treadmill- 25 minutes at 3% incline
5 minutes at speeds 2.5, 3.3, 3.8, 4.3, 3.5

*The single arm cross over was done by sitting at a 90 degree angle on the seat of the Hammer strength iso lateral incline bench and then pressing the weight across the chest. Hope that makes sense.

By the end of this workout, my range of motion when I tried to cross my arms across my chest was seriously decreased. Trainer scored me a nice pump The chances I'm going to feel it tomorrow are pretty good. This was a different workout, but really good due to the isoaltion of the chest.

 

[Triple Threat]

Nice workout, Dev. You still planning on doing a comp soon? Date?

 

[Devlin]

Nice workout, Dev. You still planning on doing a comp soon? Date?

I would like to do one and I was shooting for maybe May, but my diet is no where near on point for that. I like how my arms, chest, back and even abs are coming, but the legs especially the quads, hams, and hips need lots of work. My trainer is gearing our sessions towards "scultping" and on my own I work on adding muscle. So long story short, keep posted for updates on possible competition.

 

[DeadBolt]

So I guess that means you won't be working out tonight after all.

He wont be 'working out' per say but he'll be working something out later

 

[DeadBolt]

Good lookin circuit there Dev! Iso work is killer you'll feel it tomorrow LOL!

 

[dougnukem]

Great w/o girl!

 

[Triple Threat]

He wont be 'working out' per say but he'll be working something out later

If he's wearing his thong, I guess he'd be doing a forearm workout.

 

[gwcaton]

Way to go Dev ! Looking good on the wo's , you must be the trainers best client .

 

[Burner02]

so...u gonna meet me at the door with that, or put it on later....

 

[King Silverback]

Awesome w/o Sister Devlin, I say go for the comp.!!! Get your diet in check and Go For IT!!!

 

[King Silverback]

Hey, just thought of somethin.......................... Thinking about one in May huh??? Are you gonna do the Show-Mes with me???

 

[Devlin]

Hey, just thought of somethin.......................... Thinking about one in May huh??? Are you gonna do the Show-Mes with me???

If I do a competition I think that would be an ideal one to be the first ever for me. Plus it would help knowing I would have you there providing huge support. However, as I said the diet is an issue and my work schedule is a bigger issue. May is our busiest month at work so it hard to get the time off then.

I am feeling yesterday's workout, despite the low volume.

Burner- I think having it on under a trench coat would work

Gary-Thanks. I don't know if I am his best, but I'm probably the "fittest" of his female clients and one of the few of his female clients that works out as frequently with high volume free weights.

Trip-Agghhh Burner in a thong Men in thongs

 

[King Silverback]

Let me know, would definatly be there for ya if ya did that!!! Best wishes for you my Friend!!!

 

[Devlin]

Doug-Thanks. I'm feeling it a bit today.

DB-It didn't seem like a lot, but it was focused. I was feeling a pump after each set I am feeling it a bit.

Well I went to work today, but after an hour Mom put her foot down and sent me home. The severe weather change (68 yesterday, 33 for a high today) caused me to have a killer migraine. The temps dropped during the night and through the morning making the migraine worse as the morning went. After an hour at work, I was more than ready to throw in the towel. I came home, crawled into bed and alternated between sleep and . My abs are really loving me now after heaving the guts up for hours. Still have a very slight headache, but trying to slowly introduce fluids and crackers to the tummy which should eliminate the remaing headache. Today is a day I really curse Mother Nature for being a bitch, for not being to make up her mind what the weather should be, and for granting me a body that sensitive to severe barametric pressure changes.

 

[Triple Threat]

I find that when I'm sick and can't keep any food down, a protein drink (mixed with water) will sometimes work. Hope you're feeling better.

 

[Kal]

Migranes suck. hope you are feeling better !!!

 

[Devlin]

Trip-Interesting, thanks I'll have to try that next time. Unfortanetly I know there will be a next time.

Kal-That they do. I've had them all my life and would only wish them on my worst enemies. I'm feeling better now, but will need another 24 hours to be back to 100%.

 

[boilermaker]

Shake it, Dev (the migrane)
