Ugh. Sorry for going MIA again. Hopefully things will be a little less stressful this week. Friday I ran 5.5 miles, Saturday I ran 8. Yesterday I did legs, 2 combos from MMA KB and abs from Pure Strength. Holy cow that's really a good ab workout.

Today I am planning on chest at lunch but not sure on cardio. Legs are definitely talking to me after all the running then weights.

Belinda - nicely done girl!!!
 
Today was Chest & Triceps and I had an excellent workout. Really feeling strong again, it's been a long while since I've pushed these kind of heavy weights. I hit the 100# mark with benching today. Haven't done that in a long time.

2 minute rest between each exercise. Only rested enough to change weights after 3rd set into the 25 rep set.

Had a hard time with some of the 25 reppers. Next time I do this rotation I may decrease the weight by only 20-30% and do 15 reps. 25 is just way too taxing on the muscles.

CHEST:
Incline Barbell Press - 55#/12 reps - 2 sets (warmup)
Incline Barbell Press - 95#/6 reps - 3 sets
Incline Barbell Press - 55#/25 reps
***Up 5# with 6 rep sets and 25 rep set.

Flat Barbell Bench Press - 100#/6 reps - 3 sets
Flat Barbell Bench Press - 55#/23 reps
***Up 5# with both 6 rep sets and 25 reps set.

Incline Dumbbel Flyes - 37's/6 reps - 3 sets
Incline Dumbbel Flyes - 22's/25 reps
***Up 2# for both 6 rep sets and 25 rep set.

TRICEPS:
Weighted Bench Dips - 80#/6 reps - 3 sets
Weighted Bench Dips - 15#/25 reps
***Up 5# for 6 rep sets and 15# for 25 rep set. I was doing BW only on the 25 rep sets previously.

Close Grip Barbell Bench Press - 80#/6 reps - 3 sets
Close Grip Barbell Bench Press - 45#/20 reps
***Up 5# with 6 rep sets and 3# for 25 rep set.

Lying Tricep Barbell Extensions - 55#/6 reps - 3 sets
Lying Tricep Barbell Extensions - 35#/20 reps
***Up 3# for 6 rep sets and 3# for 25 rep set.

That is all....
 
Good afternoon,

DH wanted to go to the gym, I ended up doing CCV1. Had a great workout. I also took the dogs for a walk. That's it for me today.

Debbie - holy smokes, you are strong! Awesome job!

Heather - good job, keeping up with your workouts! We missed you!


Hallo to everyone that follows. BBL!
 
Hi ladies - DH and I ended up running at lunch. We got in a surprisingly fast run. We were both thinking we'd do just an easy one today, but we got going and just went with it. We did 3.76 miles in 29.23 minutes giving us an average pace of 7.48. I'm super excited about that actually. I thought my speed was on the decline since I've been running farther lately.

Anyway, I am planning on chest after work.

Debbie - um, holy weights lady!
 
Sorry I haven't been around much for personals. Haven't really had much time lately. :(

Belinda - What do you mean you can't feel your chest or triceps??? Mine were pretty much useless when I got done today. Don't you think the 25 reps are a bit much? I think if I ever do this rotation over again (and I'm sure I will because I love it) I will do like a 20-25% decrease in weights and rep out at 15. I really think 25 if way too much and could cause injury. JMO.

Heather - Nice job on your runs! :eek: 8 miles! Holy moly!!! That is certainly awesomeness, my friend!

Hi to all!!! Hope you are all having a great day!
 
Debbie - thanks! Still nothing compared to Jessica and Jolene's awesome half marathon! I am glad you mentioned this about the 25 reps - sounds over the top extreme. How long is it taking you for most of the workouts? I really want to start this, but have gotten so used to doing shorter weight sessions during lunch breaks.

Working two muscle groups usually takes about an hour and 10 minutes. Shoulder day and leg day take about 50 minutes. Not too bad but I do like shorter workouts too. This is a good rotation, I just don't get the concept of the 25 reps when you are doing heavy sets. Doesn't make that much sense to me. I would think it's good to add 25 reps to a rotation when you are in a rut and can't make gains, but I wouldn't think you need to do this when you are not. I'm thinking you can just do the workout as is and not do the 25 reps at all. You should get the same results. I think 25 reps is overkill and can cause injury.
 
Hi everyone!

No time for personals, but just wanted to pop on and report my workout. STS D14: legs using 80% 1RM since this is my 2nd round of M2. OMG...:eek: I was totally struggling at the end. My legs were still shaking about an hour later!!! I forsee some serious DOMS in my future...:D

Have a great day everyone!

Good evening,

Heather - nice job, on that run! That's fast! WTG, girl!

Debbie - LOL, my chest and tricpes are fried. Those 25 reps, are a killer. Had to pause on that one, lol. I think, it's a great idea reducing it to 15 reps. Let me know whenever you will do this rotation again, I will do it with you. DH and I love this rotation. He is actully a day ahaid of me, lol!

Melissa - wtg, on D14 today.

Roxie - wtg, on TF and your bike ride.

Nora - you beed doing TF for 16 weeks? You go, girl! WTG, on TF and Med ball abs today.

Good night, girls!
