    Iron Gym Pullup Bar

    I got an Iron Gym for Christmas, and I can't use it for pull-ups. My older home's moldings are too wide. Very bummed! Aimee

    difficulty doing cardio on off days

    I have been extremely tired this week, even with getting a solid 8 hours of sleep just about every night. I do have a lot going on at work which could be stressing me, but I am on Week 3 Meso 2 and have wondered if this is why I'm extra tired! I've been managing my cardio pretty well until...

    Did Mes 3 Week 3, Chest, Tris (Disc 19?) this AM..

    Thanks for your comments. Yes, I think I definetely need to lower some weights, especially for the triceps exercises, and after reading some more posts, I think I also need to bite the bullet and get a barbell. I've been trying to do this with just dumbells and add-on weights. I think most...

    Did Mes 3 Week 3, Chest, Tris (Disc 19?) this AM..

    ...and I have to say, I did not do very well!! I have been loving this Mesocycle, but for some reason, this one was practically undoable for me! Perhaps it was the Double Wave Loading, maybe my less-than-stellar night of sleep beforehand, I'm not sure. Even doing the normal sets at last...

    Oy vay! One legged sit and stands!

    I had a hard time with these as well on Disc 6...and they come back again to haunt you in Disc 12! I tried crossing my leg over the working leg and was able to do these much, much better. My balance was better and I was really able to push down on the working leg heel to stand back up. It...

    Toughest STS Disc For You...So Far

    Oh yes, I forgot about the 21 pushups after the drop-set....probably because my arms totally gave out during the drop-sets and I landed on my face...knocked the memory out of me, I guess! Aimee

    whats your unhealthy vice

    At least a glass of wine everyday. Yes, we all know the health benefits, but seriously, I have some EVERY DAY. That and a handful of dark chocolate chips. Aimee

    The Double Bind-What on Earth Was Real?

    I just finished this book last night, and had to get up the first thing in the morning and at least re-read the parts about Pamela Buchanan Marshfield. I am also not sure what is real and what was made up by the main character. A benefactor named Pamela Buchanan Marshfield does donate alot of...

    SO excited for a "forced" rest week!

    It is VERY hard for me, as I am sure it for many of you out there, to take any sort of rest week, unless I am very sick. To be told by someone (Cathe) that I HAVE to take a some time off is a dream! Of course, I'll do some cardio, but to be able to sleep in 'till 6 AM (I am an early-morning...

    Lost - Little Prince (spoiler alert)

    Watched last night...I think I was right about Sun looking for revenge for Jin's "death." And how funny is it that just as Jin is getting a little comfortable with English, he ends up meeting a bunch of French-speaking people! Also, I geeked-out a little and did some Lost-chat postings...

    Calendar Problems

    As of yesterday, I cannot either check-off scheduled workouts as completed or schedule new workouts on the calendar. On Internet Explorer, it says "error on page" and on Google Chrome, it just doesn't work. I also noticed that my user name came up on "Workouts Being Done Today" on the WM...

    Did anybody else choke up a little when Desmond referred to the baby as "Charlie"??? ("Not Penny's Boat"...sigh...I miss Charlie!) Also, I get the impresstion the Sun is not very happy with Jack because he is the one that ultimately pulled Kate away from going down in the freighter to get...

    Question re: 1RM

    Forgive me if this has been asked recently.... If one does not own a barbell set (sniff...sniff), how does the same/similar exercise with dumbells compare weight-wise? Is there a general rule? For example, if I determined my 1RM for standing dumbell curls, would I use the same weight (times...

    So I (re-) Read GWTW...

    Wow, "The Other Boylean Girl" in on the stack of must-reads next to my bed!! And the Twlight books...I teach middle school and those books are EVERYWHERE, so I figured I'd better read those as well. My sister-in-law has been reading them, and she is completely and totally hooked! Thanks! My...
