Hardcore Fitness Maniac Hotties for 2/10

Today was Back, Biceps and Abs. Had an excellent workout but my bicep strength has dimished to about nothing. Kind of bummed about that. I know it will come back, but that is my hardest muscle to train.

10 minute warmup on treadmill doing a light jog.

1 minute rest between each set

BACK
Underhand Barbell Rows:
45# - 15/15 (warmup)
52# - 10
55# - 10
57# - 10
***Should have started higher but this week is an experimental week. Need to see where I'm at with my weights.

One Arm Dumbbell Rows:
30# - 10
32# - 10
35# - 9

BICEPS
EZ Curls:
35# - 15 30# - 15 (warmup)
***Dropped to 30# because I wanted a light weight for my warmup. 35# was a bit too heavy.
45# - 10
47# - 9
50# - 7
***I was pissed that I didn't make 8 reps with 50#.

Incline Dumbbell Curls:
15's - 10
17's - 10
20's - 8
***These felt good.

ABS
1 Minute Elbow Planks: 3 sets with little rest.
Straight Leg Crunch: 3 sets/15 reps
Reverse Crunch: 3 sets/15 reps w/8# med ball

That is all....

Good Morning Maniacs!!!

Gonna do 50 mins on elliptical, I think I will do that Cycle workout that Bionics gave to me and then do Legs and Glutes (standing and floor). I have a massage scheduled for 2pm so I need to get going now.

Debbie,

Fantastic workout! You too, Teddygirl! Debbie, I will pm you later. Getting flowers from Bobby tomorrow and some other surprises..have no idea what he got me other then the flowers. What a great week!
 
Teddygirl - Why no sleep? That's not good.

Char - You had an EXCELLENT workout yesterday. I like that, I may copy it and use it for later. Nice job Maniac!
 
Morning Maniacs! No workout this morning...early customers coming. I think later I'll do the same as Char and do the Icycle workout.:D I need to do abs too. Since a lot of you posted bf% yesterday; I took mine and it's at 19.2% (down 1+%). I like to be at at least 16%, so need to get to work. I'm sure once I can get outside on my bike I'll get there quicker. It's snowing again.:rolleyes:

Char-
What's the special occasion for the flowers for? Gosh, a massage and everything.:p My sister is giving me a "spa" day for my Birthday on Sunday.:D

Teddy- Nice leg workout!

Debbie- Your bicep work is still great!

Gotta run, talk later...
 
Debbie: No particular reason, I just could not sleep:) When I finally got up and out the bed I was tired, barely made it though the warm-up. Then to find out my heat was ALL the way up on HIGH. Open a few windows, got a little air, and finished my workout.;)

I got my workout in. The baby was here at 5:45 this morning. I still had 15 minutes of my STS workout to do so had an extra challenge. Anyway workout was STS chest, shoulders and biceps with the extended stretch.
For Cardio I did 4Day Split Double Cardio premix and Step Jump and Pump premix all step finishing off with Lawrence Biscontini's foam roller 16 minute myofascial segment. I say it that way but the whole rest of the workout incorporates myofascial stuf as well. Total calories burned was 965. I burned 347 calories doing STS with the extended stretch and 618 calories doing cardio.

Yesterdays meals were:
B- coffee 1 egg
L- Muscle Chow Pear Walnut Salad( I made extra cranberry dressing to save for another salad) I cut to only 1 tsp olive oil for the two servings and changed the cheese to light feta instead of goat cheese. This was yummy
S-yogurt with 1/2 scoop protein powder
D- Muscle Chow Turkey and Broccoli (minus the couscous because I think I have eaten way to many starches since being sick) I put it on a cup of cooked zuchiini
S- 1 Oxygen Magazine Clean Eating Berry Granola Square, Scoop Twinlab PM protein powder in water

Roselyn, here is the recipe for the clean eating Frozen Berry-Granola Squares. My grandson loved them.
Serves 8
1 cup whole grain granola (I used Back to Nature Original)
2 cups fresh strawberries, Raspberries or combination
3 cups lowfat greek style yogurt
1/3 cup agave nectar( I could not find this so I used Tropicana pure 100% juice Raspberry Acai'
1 tsp vanilla
I added 4 packets of Truvia sweetner to it.
1-line 8 inch square pan with foil
2-sprinkle granola evenly on bottom of pan and set aside
3-in blender, whirl together berries, yogurt, agave nectar, and vanilla till blended. Pour berry mixture over granola, smoothing mixture to the edges of the pan. Cover with foil and freeze until firm, approximately 4 hours. Keep frozen till serving

calories 170; total fat 2;sat fat 1.5; carbs 28; fiber 2 gm; sugars 16 gm; protein 10 gm; sodium 64 gm; cholestral 0

I really think the nutrients would depend on the granola that you use. I bought Bare Naked Protein Granola at first which had 7 grams of fat in 1/4 cup. I took it back because it was really stale tasting. The Back to Nature Original had only 3 grams in 1/2 cup and a small amount of sodium.
