[dalila]

You are so pretty! And your arms look nice shush!

OK I won't talk about my arms if you stop worrying about your water weight! Deal?

 

[Jodi]

I agree, stop picking on your arms. When you are ready to go full force you can develop them however you wish

Very Pretty girl

I agree!!

Good morning everyone ( well technically it's noon here, but I've just opened my eyes so.... ) Thanks Sara and NcGirl and ncgirl I kept reading your nick as nice girl hehe, but hey I wasn't wrong either way .

Friday was the chest day:
Chest:
Flat bench presses 15X40, 10X45, 8X50, 8X50
Incline dumbbell presses 15X10, 10X12, 8X15, 8X18
Standing cable flyes 12X2plates, 10X2.5pl, 8X3pl,8X3pl

Tris
Kickbacks unilateral 12X10, 10X12, 8X15
Kickbacks bilateral 10X12 3 sets
Tri dips 10plates assisted 3 sets

A question - when I do the flat bench BB presses do I go down almost to my chest ( which I thought was correct) or just till my upper arms are parallel to the floor ( which the gym instructor is telling me to do)?

I swear this gym is driving me nuts! Gotta find a new place to work out, but this one is so conveniently 5min away from my house...

Diet was good over the weekend, save the fact that I had too much wine on friday ( 6 glasses) and too little food on saturday, as I was nursing a hangover, and I felt terribly guilty on sunday!

I always went down to chest level worked best for me, I know others who dont but I think they have more of a weight ego going on. lol

mmmmmmmmm wine, I only like homemade.

 

[dalila]

Jen thanks girl! I thought I was right to do those benches the way I did! And you make wine at home? You mean like mulled wine or just normal wine?

Today was the back and bis day but because I didn't do shoulders this week I decided to lump them all together. After that I had to go to a hairsalon to get my hair washed, arms felt like jello haha.

Back
lat pulldown 15X30, 12X41, 10X50, 10X50, 8X60
low row 12X2 plates, 10X3 pl, 10X3pl, 6X4plates
one arm rows 12X12, 10X15, 8X20, 8X20, 6X25

Bis
Pronated EZ bar curls 12X17.5 ( 3 sets), 22.5X8 ( 2 sets)
Incline hammer curls 10X10 ( 3 sets), 8x12 ( 2 sets)
Cable curls 12X3 plates, 10X3.5 plates, 8X4pl

Shoulders

Standing lateral raises 10X10( 3 sets) 12X8 ( 2 sets)

Abs + lower back extensions

Had 10gm of whey before then 10gm after bis and 10 after after the workout - was that necessary, what do you guys think? Just thought it was gonna be a long work out ( 1.5 hours) and I'd better had some..?

Now another questions :
When I lift on weekends it's usually as soon as I wake up, so should I just have some whey or whey and complex carbs?

Today was a nice day because I managed to squeeze in a massage and facial after the workout! I like!

 

[Jill]

I always have whey and F1 or oaties pre-workout before a weight than cardio session. I couldnt imagine just whey. It I just am doing cardio its just whey or on an empty stomach. Jodi recommended pre-w cabies to a me long time ago.

 

[atherjen]

I would have just a small bit of whey as soon as you wake up and train. That way there is something light in your system, you can rely on the stored glycogen for energy. Make sure to have your postworkout meal immediatly following your workout, w.complex carbs and lean protein.

lucky duck for the facial and massage!!!

my grandmother makes the wine... Im not sure how she does it but she has a wine room full of hundreds of bottles made from different berries and blends.

 

[dalila]

Okies Jen, so whey before and whey plus complex carbs PW! Got it ma'am!

I already like your granny!! Mine makes plum brandy!! But I hate that stuff, you can remove paint off the walls with it, it's that strong!!

Note to myself : Eating rice noodles doesn't make your stomach happy, so QUIT eating them silly!!

Yesterday's diet ( which made me bloat like a balloon!)
noon : coffee, no sugar, LF milk ( watched movies on sat till 4am!)

Hi Dalila,


I wanted to personally (well, as personally as this can get) for your kind words the other day. My kids are the adorablestets, you are right. We have people at my wife's work who are begging us to have another because they think we make the most beautiful kids.... ....Not gonna happen. I mean, don't get me wrong, there is nothing more fun than trying (practice makes perfect, I say) , but we are fine with 2 gorgeous kids...
Once again, Dalila, thanks for your thoughts and I will be by more often after the 2nd hurricane comes our way (this hurricane thing is getting old )

 

[dalila]

Jen dearie, hahaha I can just imagine you with a sooty face! So cute!! And by the way I picked up my english in Malaysia, and this being a tropical country they never taught me the word " flue" hahah just had to stick my nose in a dusty dictionary ! I can't believe psyllium bloats you up, it helps me soo much!

Tony, you are such a thoughtful and nice person, and you deserve the cutest kids, the nicest wife and everything else that is good! I've never been through a hurricane and have no idea what you guys are in for, but I sure will pray for your safety ( and your quick return to the journal heheh, I know, I am selfish!).

Yesterday, there was no jinx of any kind, had a nice "Legs" day in the gym, but did tell off the gym manager!! She says to me ( trying to embarass me) " I've heard you're complaining there's not enough plates ( weights) in the gym", and I say to her "Yeah, I and I've heard you said I should bring my own!!" Well needless to say she kept quiet after that ha ha!! Why people never learn that if someone tells them stuff, they are very likely to tell elsewhere as well, sigh....

Yay Premy that's great news!!
Now, now, I know you are excited and burning to throw those weights around, but easy does it! ( do I sound like an older-"pest" sister? LOL)

You'll have to start with lighter weights too right?

 

[Jodi]

Lower back extensions 3X15

These aren't bothering you?

 

[dalila]

These aren't bothering you?

It was 2 months since my injury when I first resumed doing them Jodi ( that was 2 weeks ago). Initially I could only do one set and then the back would clamp up ( not sure how to explain it)... but I continued doing them with some serious ( physio) stretchin b/c my doc recommended srengthening lower back muscles with these asap, and now I am fine. But I MUST do lots of deep stretching afterwards.

And thanks for looking out for me!

Only lighter weights because I will eb weak The injuries are pretty much healed, so I dotn really need to worry about them much.

Well, you'll be only relatively weak.. I mean not weak, just weaker than you used to be. Good luck Premy! Eat a lot of moose and elk ( whatever the heck that is) and you'll get stronger in no time! LOL

 

[PreMier]

Sleepy heads

 

[PreMier]

American History X. Great movie, you should see it

See sig

 

[dalila]

Yeah I've watched it twice ( don't ask why, I say I can't watch something even the first time then I end up seeing it again! strangely wired!) Such ridiculous hate never ever leaves me impartial, I get angry to the point of boiling. I guess there is a well of anger in me for what happened to my own country that takes very little to stir up and erupt!

But I partially watched it twice b/c Norton looks really hot in the movie ha ha!

 

[PreMier]

Its really great because of the turn around he made with his life also. Its so sad that his younger brother had to die though.

Such is gangs in contemporary America..

It always is, but sometimes a big bad is needed to make people realize just how evil they've been to others....

Anyways, now to happy thoughts should I get a good whey supp, or should I go for an isolate? I only take it PW and the isolates are generally twice as expensvie as the non-isolates here... are they worth the money?

Can't wait for the weekend! I am going dancing!! Yay, a new Cuban club has opened recently in KL, I hear it's pretty happening!! Gotta dig into my self-tanning creams to make my big legs look smaller and small arms look bigger!! LOL , coz ya know, you can't go salsa dancing without a little skirt!

 

[PreMier]

PICS! of the little skirt

About the whey.. If you are on a low protein diet, Isolate is better. If you are on a high, then regular will do. IMO regular will be fine for you.

Errr if you get grossed out will you still visit my journal? LOL!

Thanks for the advice on the whey stuff, I am quite happy I don't have to spend all that money on isolates, more money for shoes LOL! I dunno if I am really on a low/high protein diet, I eat about 130-150gm of protein a day, and I weigh 121, ooops gone up to 123lbs! But my jeans still fit quite well and I refuse to be concerned!
