Today was total body, last week of this rotation and I can't believe it. Same workout as last Monday but in superset format.

3 sets of 18 reps with 2 minutes rest between each superset.

SS #1
Flat Barbell Press - 65# (Down 5#)
ss w/
T-Bar Rows - 45# (Up 5#)
***I went down to 65# from last week because 70# was just too much plus my right shoulder was bothering me this morning. Got a great burn with this one.

SS #2
Squats - 70# (up 5#)
ss w/
Lateral Raise - 10's (up 2#)
***I raised my heels with the squats and felt it more in my quads.

SS #3
Barbell Curls - 35# (up 5#)
ss w/
Double Arm Kickbacks - 10's (up 2#)
***Should have gone with 40# on the barbell curls but didn't want to lose my form.
 
Debbie-I am always impressed by your weights :D Any idea what you will do next?

Yesterday I was so sore from Sat. Insanity fit test that I decided to chicken out a bit. I plan on using the Insanity workouts but not 2 straight months of them. I don't know if my body can handle it. I am going to follow the weight work from the KISS program over on figureathlete.com that Wet Wolf designed. It's 3 days per week adjusting the sets and reps and one day will utilize the TRX. On cardio days, I will use the Insanity or SC to keep it high intensity.

Oh and the puppies are starting to get along (by basically ignoring each other)

Had a horrible day yesterday! First I got to hold our new baby bunny as it died, took an hour. When I got dressed for church my clothes didn't seem any closer to fitting me even though I have eaten well for the past 9 days. Had to deal with someone's nasty attitude at church!!!! Once home from church thought DS broke his finger and took him to urgent care. (it's fine) Back to church for a meeting with Ms. Nasty that I was dreading (but she was okay). Then after church spent an hour with neighbor listening to the really difficult situation she is in. Ugh! I am exhausted.


Anyway, I did Insanity Cardio Power & Resistance. Did this one last week and this is the one that included some tricep work, shoulder work and chest. Don't know if I can keep up at this level.:p


Also leaving here in a little bit to go see a specialist about my hand. Three weeks later and it is still swollen?:confused::confused:
 
Theresa - I honestly don't know what I want to do next. I'd like to do STS again but I feel like it's too soon. I'll have to think about it on my week off. I may actually take an entire two weeks off, but we'll see. The weight program you want to do sounds interesting. What does it entail?

Linda - How sad about your bunny. :( Poor little thing. And sorry about all the other stuff, too. Geez, when it rains it pours. And I am right there with you with this weight loss thing. I just don't get what's going on. I've been eating excellent (except Saturday's) for weeks now. I haven't lost a pound and my body fat may have dropped a little, but nothing major. I just don't get it. I'm at a loss. :mad: Good luck at the specialists! Hope they can figure something out.
 
Debbie: here's the link. It's pretty short and sweet which I like. One day is 5 sets of 5 reps 5 exercises, 2nd day is 3 sets of 11 reps around 5 exercises, and the 3rd workout is 2 x 20 reps. Let me know what you think, I always appreciate opinions

Linda-gosh...that sounded like my weekend last week (except the dying pet part) :( And I'm suprised you had to deal w/ attitude at church...um hello, it sounds like someone is missing something :eek: And I think a specialist is a good idea, it should be getting better by now. However, I don't think Insanity's moves are helping much. I was soooooooo sore just from the fit test, wth?

This looks similar to what I'm doing now. I may have to do this one when I get done with my break. Thanks for sending the link!
 
Theresa - That was my thought about the attitude at church! She was recently put in charge of our children's church and has become a complete ogre! She wants things done when she wants them done and forgets we are all volunteers with our own lives. Oh, and so far with Insanity the only thing that has been majorly sore has been my calves. They have never been so sore in my life!


Debbie - Thanks, sure does help to know I am not alone!



Okay, now the news. Back from the specialist and I tore the ligament that attaches my finger to my hand. I now have a brace that I am suppose to wear 24/7 for the next three weeks. I am allowed to do aerobics but no lifting. Although the woman who made my brace said I could probably get away with a pushup as long as I use handles that way my fingers are not splayed and taking any of the weight. Should be interesting!:confused:
 
Linda - That is such a bummer! Wow, how come they didn't see that the first time? I'm sorry you can't lift for 3 weeks. Insanity doesn't have much lifting, though, does it?

Debbie - because they looked at, at first was the bone. No broken bone = hands fine. But it wasn't. The basic program of Insanity does not have weight work just lots of pushups, plank work, burpees and triceps dips on the floor. However there is an add-on dvd with an upper weight workout that I was hoping to add in this week. And unless I can do all the burpees, pushups, Planks and dips with hands on handles I am not suppose to even do those and the burpees and planks are in every workout.:(:(:(:(
 
Linda-Holy Cow.....:eek: I was wondering if it was something like that. I hope it heals fast, and I agree on the calf soreness. Like I said, I only did the fit test and felt beat up. I don't know if I'm ready or not, but I'll do my best

Gosh where is everyone else today?

Workout today was STS disc 13 Meso 2 chest, shoulders, and triceps. I went a little higher on some of the moves. Time spent was 65 minutes. calories burned was 401. 4Day Split calves and abs 16 minutes 92 calories, 4Day Split High Intensity Step 33 minutes 295 calories 140-163 HR, Eoin Finn's Power Yoga for Happiness Yoga Quickie mix 29 minutes 110 calories. Total calories burned was 898 Workout with Yoga was 2 hrs 23 minutes.

Linda, I am so sorry about your day and your bunny. Do you raise bunnies? We had Harvey for 4 years. My granddaughter took him home to live with her. Felt guilty because as the dogs got older Harvey couldn't run around the house like he did before. I feel bad for you with the woman at church. Sometimes people just lose sight of what doing for God is all about.
Wow, on the hand. It is sure a good thing they found out what it is. I don't think Insanity will work with that. Maybe you just need to do other cardio till the time is up. The upper body workout has more plank sprints etc. Probably will not work for you.
Can you still figure in some legs and cardio??

Debbie, maybe you could incorporate some of STS into a program. I have done this through twice and used parts of it here and there. Mostly Meso 2. This time I am just doing 2 weeks from each Meso Cycle. The week before I leave on vacation I will fit in some Plyo legs. I lost 5 lbs recently and am hoping when I do my monthly body fat test it has gone down. I was really at a sticking point but I think diet changes and SC along with Insanity has helped. I told dh yesterday my weight was up but my bf was too so that was cause for some changes. Wanted it to be muscle.

I am glad your puppies are starting to get along. Give them time. When we had the two dogs they reminded me of children because they would share the large mat I made them but sometimes the dane would growl like she wanted the other dog to get out of here. They seemed to miss each other when one was gone. Played well but just had those times where they sort of squabbled:D

Theresa, Wet Wolf does have quite a following. He must get results.
 
Hi everyone. No workout for me today, although yesterday I did Push Pull. My schedule, although still busy, has evened out a bit; thanks for asking the other day, Diane Sue. =)


Linda, omg about the hand...it's good you know what's up with it, but personally, I wouldn't push the envelope on any pushups. It seems like it would be easy to maybe put a little too much weight on it or get the wrong angle for just a second and then make the whole thing even worse. I don't know if you've mentioned before, but is it your dominant hand? Do you have to be careful with everyday activities, too? I hope it will heal up quickly.

So part of why I have no time to workout tonight (along with grading and needing to work on getting to bed early) is that it took me forever to make dinner! It's so annoying; the recipes always seem to take me way longer to make than it's supposed to. I like to cook and I like to make sure everyone in the house has a good dinner, especially my fiance, but damn. It takes too long! And then there's dishes, which I think I'm going to ignore...

have a good night everyone! =)
