Hardcore Fitness Manic Hotties for 12/31

[Fitnessfreakk366]

Today was Pyramid Back work mixed with Muscle Max Back work and then Pyramid Bicep work mixed with Muscle Max Bicep work.

O - M - G!!!

Talk about an intense workout. I usually never sweat during weight training unless its 90 degrees out, but since I've started doing Cathe again I am drenched when I get done.

Had an excellent workout even though I woke up with a headache.

BACK
Pyramid workout:
Pullovers: 25#/30#/35#/30#/25#
ss w/
Double Arm Rows: 20's/22's/25's/22's/20's

Muscle Max workout:
Barbell Rows: 55# - 2 sets/15 reps
One Arm Rows: 30# - 8 reps w/different speed counts.
***These killed me. I should have used a 25# dumbbell.
Pullovers: 30# - 10 reps 4/4 ct.
***Should have used 35#.

BICEP
Pyramid workout:
Hammer Curls: 15's/17's/20's/15's/12's
ss w/
Traditional DB Curls: 15's/17's/20's/15's/12'ss
***Wow. Thats all I have to say. I did take a little bit longer break then Cathe. I had too.

Muscle Max workout:
Barbell Curls: 40# - 8 reps 4/4 ct.; 45# - 6 reps 4/4 ct.
***Was surprised how strong I felt here after the Pyramid workout. Should have used 45# for both sets.
Dumbbell Partial reps: 10's - 8 partials up then down; 4 partials up then down; 4 reps 4/4 ct. all the way up and down.
***These burned.

That is all...

I am wiped out.

Good Morning Maniacs!!!

Well my cat just made me lose everything I just typed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She laid her fat body all over the keyboard. I just screamed at her and now feel bad.

Today I am gonna do the Pyramid/MM Chest and Tricep work from Deb's rotation. I already took my rest days.

Debbie,

Great job! Great when workouts make you sweat like that. I think Cathe's workouts really get you good with all the slow counts and such.

Diane Sue,

Yeah, miss Lora's post with the reviews and such too. Now I feel lost not knowing what to buy I have enough perfumes though to last many lifetimes. I wonder if Villianess will come out with Ms. Edith again. I love that soap. Another one is Black Out, but you have to get it on another site...MagicalOmaha.com. If I go on that site, and my son sees that I have, he will ask me all kinds of questions and look at me with this look.

Morning everyone,

Well, I have to begin this day with a not so happy event. Around noontime we are going to visit my Aunt & Uncle who are up from Florida and this may be the last time I ever see my Uncle. Fifteen months ago my uncle was given 18 months to live, he is not doing well at this time.

Okay, enough, hear is what I did this morning.

Superset A
Bulgarian Split Squats
8/8/8 - 25's
Dips w/ Knees up (at chest level, leaning forward)
5/5/5
***afterwards I double checked and realized this was suppose to be 15/15/15 and I had typed it wrong. Those reps weren't happening anyway, not sure I could have done more than the 5.****


Superset B
Chin ups w/ knee ups
7/7/7
***felt really strong on these today, even bumped my head, probably because there weren't proceeded by a ton of pushups!****
Step Ups
8/8/8 - 30's

Superset C
SB Jackknife
15/15/15
***these were suppose to be 20/20/20, but my shoulders start to burn and my form suffers and the added reps just aren't worth my low back***
X-Body Mountain Climbers
12/12/12
Side Plank w/ Leg Raise
10/10/10 per side


Then interval cardio at a 60/60 ratio using Bootcamp for six rounds, then the stretch from Amy's In the Ring and few extra stretches added. W/O was 1:15 and I burned 523 calories.

Charlotte, I need to order some more soaps. I am on my last sample bar of Sexy Peel Soap from Lush. They have some nice sounding scents at Villainess. I was looking at there stuff the other day.
Lora did get me to spend some extra money but I got some good stuff

Dallys, Anthony at Art of Strength has a good clip on form doing swings on the latest moment of strength segment. He says not to do overhead swings stop around the shoulder. I know when I did Lauren Brooks I wondered about the overhead swing. Especially since my right shoulder was already bothering me. My range of motion is so much better in that shoulder now. At first it hurt with the kettlebells but now it is improving from where it was before I started. I like those joint mobility w/ups too. Empire State has a really good one and Anthony explains the moves and what they are for really well.

Linda, sorry about your Uncle. Hopefully these last visits will not be too painful for all of you. Nice workout

Ally, good to hear you are still getting in great workouts

Debbie, hope that headache goes away. Enjoy the New Year!

[Sonya Arellano]

OMG I just lost my post, not once but twice! and I don't own a cat! Had a late night last night and didn't sleep well so dealing with slight headache and moving slow....I'll use that as my excuse!

Dally's...Yea Ducks! Thanks...very exciting! DS will be home this afternoon and stays until Sunday. Having a party Friday to celebrate the season. Will be rootin' for LSU today. Course the game I can't wait for is the National Championship.....GO SOONERS! In NFL action my Chargers play the Colts on Saturday!

Plan on doing back/bicep workout from Debbie's rotation. That will defintely be later...after a nap

I saw that clip and wondered about it because Lauren does them. It'd be interesting to hear what she says about them. I might just not do them since he says there is no purpose. Great workout by the way!

Thanks for all the kind words. Just back from the visit and I have to say my uncle looks great. But he says looks are deceiving, so I know he is not feeling that well because he is not a complainer. If I do not get to see him again, I will truly cherish this visit with him today!
