    Suggestions for quick no DVD leg work

    I would not. But truth be told I only use level 1 of BB, and then only as a warm up for when I do my "fluff legs" - and fluff legs are only done on the weeks that I don't deadlift. And FWIW - and YOU know this - I totally agree: half squats (like most in my beloved Cathe workouts) don't touch...

    Suggestions for quick no DVD leg work

    Hmmm, that's what I would think - treat them as an add-on? I generally work my legs heavy 1x week, and that always involves some kind of squat and some kind of lunge which hit the glutes. But I deadlift when I do my back workout, and that also invariably hits the hams and glutes - especially...

    I don't have V2 fit44, but why is it confusing?

    For all of Pauline's stuff, go to www.fighterdiet.com. She's more than a hoot, she is CRAZY instense. There is zero room for error or mistake with her. She's also a little over the top for me. Like when she thought she was packing on too much muscle, she did cardio for 3 hours a day to burn it...

    Brussel Sprouts....

    JANN!!!! I LOVE me some kale in my green smoothies, though I completely agree with the kale chips as well. 'Cept you always have green speckled teeth afterward - HA! And FYI - my green smoothies would not work without a big ole scoop of Pauline Nordin's fighter diet greens as well. Greens...

    Brussel Sprouts....

    Add me to the sprouts camp for sure! HATED them (still do) as my mom makes them. Steamed. Boring. But we prep 'em, throw them into a zip-lock baggie, drizzle with some olive oil (or other healthy option) add a pinch of sea salt, and shake-shake-shake! Pop them onto a baking sheet and roast in...

    Inching my way toward my goal

    Thanks y'all. I KNOW that these smaller, incremental gains are necessary as I go heavier, and sometimes it's not even extra weight as even one more rep, or one more inch. I know it all counts, but it just seems ssss----llll----oooo----wwww. And you're right, it is. My trainer always has me do a...

    Inching my way toward my goal

    I guess so Toni. But I sure do miss the days when I started and could go up like 5, 10, or even 20#. That felt like REAL progress. But like you said, at least it's forward and not backward.

    Inching my way toward my goal

    Hello all. I promised to post when I'd inched closed toward my performance based goals for 2013. I've been using Cathe's 100-rep challenges to help me get there, and in particular the hip thrusts so as the strengthen the back chain muscles, which I've always been weak in. As I aim toward a...

    HeeeHeee. Jodi I never would have said a word. You goofball. I just thought I'd seal yours up extra tight and have you pass them on to Dr. Roy, you know, since he got me signed up and all! :D:D:D:D MWAH! Smoochies.

    Can you?

    Well in my other life as a lawyer, we would say there's a split of authority on this. :) Some experts SWEAR that taking a good branched chain amino acid supp is absoultely necessary for new muscle fiber growth. Some say that most of your high quality whey protein powders contain them already, so...

    Can you?

    I ADORE this. Thanks DirtDiva. May I ask ... once you committed to heavier lifting, how long did it take you to hit these top out numbers. The squat truly is the king of all exercises (engaging some 260+ muscles on every rep!) and I'm making a very concerted effort this year to see what I can...

    Can you?

    YES Natasha - I am sure you totally could! Soozies - these are 1RM numbers, from low to high range, and the author says they are for "natural (no steroid use) athlete with reasonable work and life commitments outside of the gym." Nan - YOU ROCK! RapidBreath - that is amazing. Y'all - I...

    Can you?

    Wow. This was a real eye-opener for me. I work out regularly and think I eat pretty well, though I do not follow a paleo diet and this info considers paleo. I should say that my personal goal is to be strong, and for that reason I always try to push past what Cathe offers most of the time. I...

    Let us know Who's In - Check-In!!!

    Well, also with help - ok, total reliance - on my friend Jodi, I am in yet again. I've never done destinations, only Glassboro, and this will be my 7th trek. Nothing like it. To all the first-timers, I whole heartedly echo the don't be nervous sentiment, though I know it's easier said than done...

    Who's Who book

    Well you saw in my FB pic my reference to mine and how I loved it, so I would totally be up for reactivating it, and I'll help with whatever I can! Love it. Oh - and for the record, while I do love the idea, I also think - er, umm - KNOW you're nuts MGD! But I still love you girl. :p...

    Strong Knees

    I think it depends on what your knee issues are caused by. Is it arthritis? Is is musculature support around the knees being weaker? Do you know what exacerbates it? I'm sorry I don't know about the video you mentioned. I have arthritis, which I discovered a few years ago as I was training to...
