I just did 7 10-ct negs and barely got to the 7th. I'm disappointed I couldn't increase but am hoping to get to 8 by the end of the week. Now I'm off to do PUB.

Hope you all are having a swell day!:)

Soooooooooooosan, I think you are doing great. 7 10-ct negs that's hard. I am sure though you will be able to do 8 soon.


I am doing PlyoX this evening. But no chinups today- or maybe 1 set, hmmmmmm,.... I don't want to push my shoulder. We'll see. I just love doing them though!!!

Soooooosan,

I also did PUB (up only) after my 10-ct negs. I've been taking it easy on weights as I've had tennis elbow. Today, is my first day back with weights after several weeks. Push ups, dips and the cheat chin ups didn't hurt the elbow at all, so that is all I have been doing lately. Hopefully, my arm will feel ok tomorrow. I really miss PUB so it was fun to do today.

Now I'm off to work my abs.

Joanne
 
Joanne, hope your elbow is better soon!! Sounds like you are being smart and listening to your body.

Catherine
 
Joanne, I'm glad your body weight exercises haven't hurt your elbow and I agree with Catherine that you're smart to listen to your body. PUB was hard for me today after my chin-ups. Not sure why.

Catherine, you're always so sweet and motivating!
 
Joanne,

I understand, my left elbow is bugging me so I'm holding off on the chinups until at least Thursday. I did just complete PUB and feel good.

Later all you toughies!
 
Hey X, thanks for the donut.:9

My skinny little boys ages 8-11 yo can do endless chinups and it's just not fair!

Hey Briee & Catherine, I'm going to Atlanta tomorrow and will probably stop by Dick's.:7
 
Trying to catch up on questions and banter from the last exciting chinup thread!!

Sooooooooooooosan, yes we already have my nephew here, he came to help with our addition, but we quickly realized there was something very wrong. They kept telling us that he was very shy and we needed to draw him out of his shell. Well...my dh and I FINALLY watched "Rainman" one night and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My nephews answer to all questions is "I don't know", dresses the same way each day, etc..... We took him to be diagnosed and they said he has Asperger's syndrome with learning disabilities on top of it. NOW we finally understand what's going on. He's been at our home for 9 months now, and he no longer has a home to go home to, so sad, so I think he's ours:7 . God has some purpose for everything. Regarding the "Revenge on Briee" thread...I'm not worried, because I know you are a very determined person who will be pumping them out in no time. AND....that was very mean...threatening to ban donuts from the site - cruel and unusual punishment x( x( x( . May the donut fairy pass over your home leaving nothing but crumbs:p :p :p .

Melody...I'd love to hear about your boys (No not just their crazy adventures - did you say that one is autistic?) You are amazing adopting 3 boys - I bet you are a great mom. (except the kicking them out and not letting them swing from the loft part - he he.)

Catherine, you ARE encouraging!

Joanne...you spelled Sooooooooooooosan's name with ONLY SIX O'S. Let's hope she didn't see it.

You guys are all doing a great job sticking with this! Keep up the grueling work you toughies!!

X...we need you here, you post beautiful pictures!!

Michele....what are you doing reading this???? (saw your post on the other thread;) ;) ;) ;) )

Briee
 
Oh my, I didn't even give a report.

I just did GS legs timesaver and PUB Chest, back, and shoulders. Chinups - 6 sets of negatives with 20 second descent, 1 minute and 20 second rests in between. This was tougher than chinup sets I think. Just switchin it up a bit.

I've been exercising almost every morning and night the past 5 days. I realize it's downright stupid to work out for 3 hours. I just get so mad that I don't get to it and then when I find a chunk of time...I USE IT. I'm attempting to get more regular with w/o's.

Amazing how quickly we can adapt to stresses placed on our bod's. I haven't been getting sore much at all anymore from the chinup sets. BUT, last night I did KPC and really "punched"...today I had a hard time breathing - hurts so much. I hadn't done that w/o in a while.

And Melody rest that shoulder, we'll allow you to keep checking in on this site as long as you eat donuts :p

Briee, again
 
Briee, WOW 20 sec negatives!!!! You've been working so hard. Careful not to overtrain ;-)

Melody, Please let us know how the Dick's adventure goes in Atlanta!

X, Thanks for the "jelly" :p

Catherine
 
Catherine and others-thanks for the encouraging words. And, I am happy to report that my elbow feels great today-I'm so happy I can do weight work again.

Briee-you are so funny.

Joanne
 
Joanne, it's so tough to have injuries...I literally go nuts when I can't weight lift. Glad to hear your elbow feels great - Eeeeeaaasssee back into it slowly. Regarding funniness....I have to have a sense of humor with 6 kids, one nephew, and numerous odd animals - or I'll go insane. I feel like it's a zoo here at times!!

Briee
 
I just popped in to see if you gals could spare a donut. I've got my coffee and now I'm hankering for a sweet something. I've been ogling the daily donut photos and my mouth is watering. I'll just grab one and be on my way. Thank you for your hospitality! (At least I didn't steal one from church:eek: }( )

Michele:)
