CRAZY STRONG & LOVING IT FOR DEC 1, 2010

[bayerngirl]

Good morning ladies,

I will do biceps & tricpes plus abs today.

Today is my 27 Anniversary

Happy Hump Day, everyone! BBL!

Today was Biceps and Triceps. Had an excellent workout. My arms are really fried. This was one good workout.

1 minute rest between each set. 3 minute rest between transitioning between bicep and triceps.

BICEPS
EZ Barbell Curl - 25#/15 reps - 2 sets (warmup)
EZ Barbell Curl - 50#/8 reps - 3 sets (up 5#)

Pinwheels - 20's/10 reps - 3 sets (up 5#)
***This one really gets me good. I concentrate on the upper squeeze and my bi's are worked very well with this one.

Hammer Curls - 20's/12 reps - 3 sets (up 3#)
***By this time my bi's were just fried. Last few reps were brutal.

TRICEPS
Close Grip Bench Press - 80#/8 reps - 3 sets (up 5#)
***Wow, this one was tough. Last time I see I wrote that I should have went with 70# (used 75#). Here I went up to 80. Felt good.

Decline Dumbbell Tricep Extension - 20's/10 reps - 3 sets (up 5#)
***Love the way this one feels. Moving up 5# was perfect.

Double-Arm Kickbacks - 11's/12 reps - 3 sets (up 1#)
***Got a great burn with this as well.

I never came back to report on yesterday's workout which was biceps from M2D15:

Dumbbell Curls - 12, 10, 8, TF: 16's
Seated Alternating Curl - 12, 10, 8 - 16's
Preacher Curl on Stability Ball Double Arm - 12, 10, TF - 15's

I have DOMS in my chest, shoulders and now biceps. After that I did MMA Boxing and abs from PH.

Today I am going to hit the gym after work and see how my knee holds up on the elliptical. I am going to bring my workout sheet with me for back and triceps just in case I can't do the elliptical or I get too bored. At least I can do all the chinups/pullups at the gym though.

Debbie - what are pinwheels????

Nora - how's that ankle?

Roxie - looks like a good workout girl.

Waves to Belinda, Chris, Jessica and Melissa!!!

Hi girls!

I did Step Blast Premix, Combos 1, 2 and 3. (which is NOT a walk in the
park!). Seriously, that combo where you do the little triple quick step on
the step, and then run on the floor, and then starburst over the step and do
it over again? Kills me! And she does it over and over to "learn it"! LOL!.
Though I do like the third combo the best, I get into it all put together.
After that I did Intensity's Lo HiiT + the stretch! The Lo HiiT seems a
little harder when you're not coming down off of the HI HiiT. Or maybe I'm just tired today. Who knows!

Belinda: Happy Anniversary!!!! You have been married longer than me and my DH! I always thought you were younger than me (doesn't mean you aren't, but I just pictured you in your early 30's!!). Do you have anything planned? ..Hey, have a good bi and tri workout today!! (and abs!)

Debbie: Oh those closed grip barbell presses KILL my shoulders. I could never lift that heavy! I *bow* to you!!!! Great workout today. Sorry the cardio is screwing up your leg/knee/hip. That sucks!! I truly think you should get evaluated and get treatments (physical therapy stuff) for that. And get better once and for all. Or at least get some answers. It's got to be so frustrating.

Heather: So you are doing Meso 2 now? And splitting up the body parts? Sounds like a cool plan to work with. Good workout yesterday!

Roxie: Nice workout last night. Those TF abs are tough!!! have "fun". Is your mom gone now? Sorry she outwore her welcome.

Melissa: I had to LOL at the picture you drew of yourself yesterday with your face and hair! I bet you can't even TELL by looking at you you have those issues. But you are focusing on it, so they seem huge! Hope you feel better today.

Nora: Hope your ankle is ok. It sounds sore!!! be careful. Can't believe you get those workouts in with a sore ankle. AND the balance issues of your MS. Good luck to your DH with the surgery. Any surgery is anxiety provoking!.

*waves* to Jessica. How's Meso 2 going?

Chris-she leaves tomarrow morning sometime.

 

[hriacobacci]

Chris - Yes, I just couldn't get into M1. I sooo want to try the Intensity workout. My DVDs came in Monday but I think it'd be too much for me knee. Have you ever notice that I think in the 3rd time through on the challenge she seems to falter on that whole triple/starburst step? It's almost like she's just going to stop - which is what I want to do there too LOL

[Boingo1]

Roxie: You must be excited for tomorrow! It's too bad it wasn't a shorter stay where you could enjoy it more.

Heather: I didn't do the challenge today. And I probably have never noticed Cathe faltering on that step, since I'm all into it at that point and hardly look at the TV. I'll have to next time, though. I want to see her falter, LOL!!!.... Oh, Intensity might be a big harsh on your knee for sure. It's WICKED high impact, and starting off right with the Step. The Lo HiiT is "low" though! Maybe you could do another cardio and tack on Lo HiiT to it, kind of like I did, just so you could get a little taste of it!

Belinda - Happy 27th Anniversary!!! Hope you have a wonderful day, do you have any plans?

Heather - These are pinwheels:

http://www.muscleandstrength.com/exercises/hammer-curl-across-the-body.html

It was the exercise I was trying to describe when I first started this rotation. It's a good one.

Roxie - Nice workout last night!

Chris - I love Close grip bench press, it's my favorite tricep exercise. And yes, I do agree with you. I really should get it looked at. I've had many muscular problems in the past and every time I went to the doctor they would just tell me to stretch. Maybe I should just stretch. LOL!!! It's just very frustrating. I would be so estatic if I could do one cardio workout with no pain.

 

[exer_cited]

Hi everyone. Quick post for me. Today has been CRAZY busy!!!

Yoga class was AWESOME last night. Lots of ab work... My abs, butt, inner thighs and shoulders are so sore. I think I'm going to make this class my Tuesday night workout from now on. What a nice change. Tonight is cardio. Not sure what yet.

I realized this morning when I flipped my calendar to December that I had put in for every Friday off and completely forgot about it.... 4-day work week for the rest of the year...NICE!!!

BBL for personals if I can. Have great day!!!

 

[jsutera]

Ladies - crazy day at work today, not much time for personals but I'll try to come back later.

I did have to say to melissa - know what I noticed when I flipped the Cathe calendar just now? My smiling mug (with Jo) at the bottom of the page from the RT last year. hehe. I'm such a dork but LOVE that we made it into the calendar. ;-)

I went with Ride this morning and it was seriously puke-worthy status. Loved every last minute!! Gonna try to squeeze in Core Fusion tonight!!

PS. Heather - totally try the low HiiT work in Intensity, it' snot very long but at least would give you something new and fun to try if you really can't stand the elliptical tonight!

 

[hriacobacci]

Debbie - thanks! I was calling them cross-body curls (I can't remember where I read about them). Also seen them call cross-body hammer curls - unless there is a subtle difference I am not seeing.

Belinda - Happy 27th Anniversary!!! Hope you have a wonderful day, do you have any plans?

My ankle is still on the mend for those that asked, thanks for your concern and well wishes.

Belinda- Congrats on your wedding anniversary! Also, bravo on your workout today of bi's, tri's & and abs. Have a wonderful day and do something special for the both of you.

Debbie- Excellent and impressive workout today and you even went up in weights from previous times working Bi's and Tri's. You rocked that workout big time. I don't even dare to mention the piddly weights I lift by comparison, but its all good like you its all about progress and doing your personal best, which you are famous for. Awesome workout today Debbie, Wow #80 Tri's close grip bench presses And before that you had me envious of your fab BB EZ Curls. Way to Rock your workout Girl!

Heather- Take care as you rehabbing your knee injury and easing off on the running for now. Great job on yesterday's workout MD215 doing Biceps work. I think the eliptical at the gym is a good thing to try or even a stationary bike or recumbent bike. Just be safe and have no knee pain
Great ideat to take your workout sheet to the gym with you and being able to get some weight work in there. WTG on your workouts and rehabbing your knee.


Roxie- Yay for you doing TF ABS 10 and Stretch 10, sounds great. I hope all is well with you, keep up the great work with your workouts.

Chris- I hear ya on Step Blast, I think it looks fun too but the quick steps like that always cause me problems with my ankles. The more athletic style like circuit blast I have no problem with or Athletic step. I think my ankles are just traumatised from years of having sprained or broken ankles. LOL!! Intensity Lo HiiT is awesome, I really enjoy Intensity Premix #9 its the only one I've done of the new workouts. Sorry to hear you had a rough night with your son's blood sugars not being where you'd like them. I hope he's doing better now. Hugs!

Melissa- Nice job with your yoga workouts, yes they definitely are workouts you feel the next day and discover you stretched and used muscles you didn't know you had. I know you'll have fun with your cardio tonight whatever you decide on so, have an awesome workout. Yay! on every Friday in December is a day off for you, that's awesome. Sort of an advanced christmas present of sanity for yourself. I like that!

Jessica- Hey congrats on you and you sis being in the calendar. You must mean the new calendar, but I sadly wasn't able to order one this time. Oh well, next year then. I loved seeing your RT pics of you, Jo, Heather, and Melissa, fun to put faces to the names. Great job on your Ride workout this morning and possibly Core Fusion later as well. You are workin' and rockin' those workouts hard girl! WTG!!

Debbie- Thanks for the info about what pinwheels were. I was going to ask that but I see Heather beat me to it. I've done those before. I learned something new today that those are called pinwheels. Thanks for the info.

That's if for me today girls, have an awesome evening and I'll seeya all at tomorrow's check in.

Hugs to everyone!

Nora
