Morning Maniacs -

This morning I did Gym Style Chest & Triceps. I only burned 176 calories. I wanted to add on some cardio and yoga, but no time for that today, as I have to clean and run errands and also have a late morning dental appintment to get my TMJ splint adjusted. I also need to start getting used to not doing my yoga daily, as I won't be able to do daily yoga when I go back to work.

Have great workouts everyone. Off to eat my oatmeal and then clean.
 
Good Morning, today starts my last week of the Muscle & Fitness rotation. I will be doing chest triceps and abs. I think it is slow and heavy 5 rep sets. I will be doing cardio as well. I think my mouth is better this morning. Maybe the antibiotic is kicking in. I took an 800 mg tablet of Motrin last night and slept all night:)

Lora, good luck with your dentist appointment. Have fun cleaning.

Hi to everyone,

This morning was extended sets doing Legs. I changed it up a bit because it worries me to go real heavy with squats and deadlifts because of my low back. Instead of doing 3 sets of 5 reps I did 3 sets of 8 reps and then added a tri-set after the extended set. This is what I did and used 2 minutes rest:

3 sets/10 reps
Squats: 85#
followed by
Static Lunges: 70#
followed by
Elevated Deadlifts: 40#
followed by
Hamstring Curls: 45#

Then I added (3 sets/10 reps):
Plie Squats: 75#
followed by
Leg Extensions: 60#
followed by
Front Lunges: 40#

Then I did the calf work from GS Legs and the stretch from GS Legs.

My legs are JELLO!!!

Diane Sue - What will you be doing after this rotation?

Hope you all have great workouts!
 
Just curious... what kind of equipment do you use for your leg workout? I just use a barbell but can't seem to lift more that 50 pounds over my head to get it to my shoulders without feeling like I'm going to hurt myself. Love your rotations by the way.

Hey Maniacs! Today will be a weight workout of some kind. Will think on it while I take my morning walk.

Lora- good luck at the dentist.

Diane Sue- Glad you slept well and your mouth is feeling better.

Debbie- Great leg workout!

Laura- Welcome! Hope you stay. I lifted 60 something pounds over my head and hurt my elbow (gave me tennis elbow). I'll never try that again. I use my Bench now and get up under the bar (the bench has a rest for the barbell) from a seated postion. It's much safer.

Suz- That sucks you had so much wind on your ride. I'm amazed that you even try it with your asthma. You are tougher and more determined than you think.:)

Michelle- Great workout yesterday!

Lora- Are you excited about going back to work? Im sure you'll still find time for your yoga for if there is a will theres a way:)

Diane Sue- Did you enjoy the rotation, see good results? It always exciting to end a rotation and begin a new one, i found one right know that i love!

Laura - I have a weight bench that has a leg attachment to it for leg extensions and hamstring curls. I also have a Power Tower with wide arms and use that for my squats. My barbell fits right on it at the perfect height for me and works well.

Michelle - WORK WORK!! LOL!

Anne - Aunt Flo is visiting me as well. Biotch came early this month!

Hi guys,

I'm curious about what kind of protein powder do you guys use? I'm looking for something new as Muscle Milk regular and Lite made me a little too muscular which I am not happy about. The ON 100% Whey is NASTY. PVL Whey Gourmet is another I use but I'm tired of ordering it online because God Forbid GNC stocks them up. Thanks for suggestions!

Hope you all have a great day!

Lisa :)
 
Lisa - I use ON Whey Natural, excellent protein powder with no artifical sugars in it. You have to make sure it says "Natural" on the container. There are other ON's that have splenda and crap like that in it. I also use BSN Lean Dessert.
 
I finished my workout. I started with Seasun's BOSU blast stopped at the core/abs and went back and repeated the first 17 minutes of cardio then did the core and started with the ab work on the M&F rotation did chest and triceps, then finshed with Eoin Finn's PYFH yoga quickie. I am off to the bank and post office.

M&F rotation:5 seconds up and 5 down slow
bench press 65# 5 reps 3 sets(actually there were 4 sets had to stop to talk so started over)
incline dumbbell press 35# dumbbells 5 reps 3 sets
dumbbell flyes 30# dumbbells 5 reps 3 sets
close grip bench press 55# 5 reps 1 set, 60# 5 reps 2 sets
triceps press down Bowflex 100# 5 reps 3 sets
reverse crunch 15# medicine ball 20 reps 3 sets
crunch Bowflex resisted 120# 20 reps 3 sets
cable crunch Bowflex kneeling 180# 15 reps 3 sets

Debbie, I think I am going to do some endurance work for 2-3 weeks and then go back to some heavier stuff. I have Barry's Bootcamp I want to check out and Ripped 1000.
