[JennyB]

50 min on the stepper is impressive !! you go girl

 

[katt]

hey thanks J - it's the hardest cardio, I think. And the only thing that kinda-sorta resembles hiking in the mountains when we go elk hunting...

 

[katt]

No workout today - it felt so good to sleep in though - even for just that extra hour...

Feelin' all refreshed this morning!

Totally agree, to me the step mill kicks my a$$ every time.

I've heard the versaclimber may be better but I've only seen one gym ever with one so haven't gotten to try it.

[yellowmoomba]

I like the short and simple workout style

 

[katt]

ok, so after an extended long weekend...... lol The bb show was just ok, only 3 women competitors - 2 in heavyweight and 1 in middleweight class... wasn't much of a comp. in that respect. The men's classes were better, but more and more I'm seeing an over abundance in figure now. Plus the only fitness competitors were girls ages 9- 13?? wtf??

maybe it was the timing of the contest though - the Ironman is in October which is a larger show, so possibly everyone is shooting for that one instead.

this was today's wo

Standing OH Press (50) 1x10 (60) 2x10 (65) 1x8

Front Raise (22.5) 2x10 (25) 1x10

Seated OH tricep ext. (single arm) (20) 1x8 (25) 2x6

Cable push downs w/rope (30) 1x10 (35) 2x8

Cable Ab Crunch (60) 3x20

Leg's tomorrow

We are sticking with this 4 day split routine (from bb.com) until the end of October, then we'll switch it up a bit.

[JerseyDevil]

Thanks JD - how's the puppy?

She is doing great! It's been almost 8 months since the cancer surgeries, and there are no signs of reoccurence. Knock on wood.

 

[katt]

ok I've been slacking this week with posting my workouts... I'll get caught up

Today's wo

At the end of the EZ bar curls, I felt like all my energy was gone. The pullups were very hard today and I had a little help from TOH.

Today I am totally exhausted being virtually no carb for 5 days.. tomorrow is a carb-up for me and hopefully I'll get some energy back

I keep forgetting how brutal this diet is....
