Willing to try anything once....wtf

[Brutus_G]

Your benching is excellent for a girl and i know some guys you could completely own keep it up!

 

[katt]

good morning!
think the ewight thing was mental? You did 95 w/ ease...maybe psyched yourself out a little w/ the extra weight?

The rest looks great though!

Yeah probably the mental thing kicked in.. the minute I had it up, my elbows started to shake and I thought "oh shit"

heh...I remember I tried putting up a certain weight for incline DB bench presses.
I grabbed one and had my spotter (guy I knew and grabbed to come help)
get the other one.
I'ev got the DB's on my legs and getting ready to 'go'....and he says:
Wow....those look heavy!


that's NOT what I want/need to hear before going for a PR....what a jagoff! I still put it up....but dam...that mental link is important!

 

[the other half]

katt would have kicked me in the family jewels if i did that to her.

 

[Burner02]

she woulda had to catch you 1st...when he was done w/ the set...he kinda just stood there like a zombie for a few moments regaining his composure....that would be more than enuogh time to plan your escape!

 

[Scarface30]

yes, very nice benching indeed!

your incline is better then mine!

 

[SamEaston]

Nice one Katt!

God, looking at your cal intake makes me hungry! I think it's only about 50kcal lower than mine at the moment - and its damn tough!

Are you seeing any progress in terms of your bf% yet?

Yeah it probably is working... slowly.... I haven't gotten real diligent with the cardio yet..but I'm trying..

Yesterday I was really really hungry all day long, it sucked.. then this mornings workout I got to the 4th exercise and I literally didn't think I had any strength left in me.... then we did our biceps and I was struggling.. as soon as we walked out of the gym door I lost it.

Tonight was 45 minutes on the stepmill... if that's what you call it, that escalator thing.. level 4 all the way this time. I almost ditched it, but I thought if I did it, maybe I would get some happy endorphins going in my head...

Always incorporate Life Fitness and Hammer Strength products into your workouts.


I'm just kidding, of course. The company I work for owns them, but I do like the Hammer Strength Chest Presses at my gym a lot.

Haha...We do have Hammer Strength also... we try to vary them each time between dumbells, bar, Hammer Strength & Life Fitness..

The only thing I don't like about our Hammer Strength bench is that the bench is so small that I have to have a stool at the end to put my feet on, because I'm so short..... if I don't, my back arches just trying to reach the ground.. haha I like the incline press machine though

Yeah, it's actually my favorite. I've been using it a lot latley. I've also noticed the decline hammer strength bench has really been helping in blasting my tris. I've actually just started using both in the last month and have noticed pretty good results with my chest. Good idea though (rotating). I should probably do that a lot more.

 

[Scarface30]

Thanks Scar for the constant encouragement.. today was not a great day for me.... I appreciate it!

hey, anytime!

you're a tough woman, so hang in there!

 

[katt]

It's all good Scar..... I only had a day, that's not bad

Tonight was 50 minutes on the treadmill, incline at 4 - 6, speed at 3.3 -3.6

I need to get new headphones for my ipod... that go louder... or maybe I'm just getting deaf .

 

[Brutus_G]

Incline treadmills are a great way to own those calves. Try decline running and i bet your thighs will be very sore the next day.

Wow, 50 minutes is a long time to be on the 'mill. Do you not feel like doubling the speed and halfing the time, for for the same result?

Good job Katt. If you're getting deaf, just bring a ghettoblaster in with you to the gym. I leave mine on top of the treadmill and play "walk of the valkyires" at full volume. People love it.
