superset w/

I forgot to say how sore my biceps are today!!! Love this! Every workout I have been extremely sore for a few days. Woo hoo!

I'm starving...

 

[meowracer]

Hi Debbie - good for you - I'm not happy unless I'm sore. And I know you like your biceps to feel it good!! Last night, I did Butts and Guts and hoped to fall out of bed today b/c my butt was so sore but nothing yet. Perhaps it will settle in. It sure was on fire last night during the workout.

Today is cardio for me - not sure what yet but I want to sweat, sweat and sweat some more. My body is just very unpleasantly holding on to water and I feel like toxins are building up in it - I hate that feeling. I ate tons of fiber yesterday too, hoping that will help too, and have been drinking loads of water. I think I am going to do kettlebells/circuit workouts for weights until vacation, and cardio on the off days with hopefully, extra cardio at night on the circuit days, and abs daily.

Off to clean some house and figure out what cardio to do.

Happy Thursday, Maniacs

Hi! I think Diane Sue started a thread earlier. Anyone know how to bring her post over here? I stink at that kind of stuff.

Anyway, I've been a slacker poster- thanks to Linda and Shana for chasing my butt back here. I have been busy- Jeff is home on vacation this week and it's been lovely having him home. The kids started summer camp, which is twice a week from 9-1 so that's been consuming too. Plus, DD was sick this week and we have a family reunion this weekend that I need to cook for- fun stuff.

My eating has been on and off- I know I've been using food to cope with some other stuff going on. Nothing terrible, but still, an issue. And I've told you all how I didn't like Meso 2's effect on my body. I think it's just burn out all the way around- never again will I do 6 months for a rotation. Ack! So I am doing whatever this week and will start Cathe's June rotation on Monday I think. I did High Step Training Advanced yesterday. Man is that one a lot of work! But I could go up in weights for everything, so I must not be screwing up everything, right??

Anyway, gotta go get some work done but wanted to check in with my lovely Hardcore friends. Later!

Shana- I have DOMS today, and mind you I didn't do the floor work lol! I am sure they will catch up to you later

Patti- busy bee you are- hope you get some down time here and there!

Deb- very nice workout. You have amazing strength.

I am not sure what to do today. Maybe Lean 2, but it has alot of shoulder work and mine are sore still. I may do just cardio tonight. Another cardio coach sounds fun!

 

[janiejoey]

Looks like everyone is doing great.

Today is cardio for me. Haven't a clue what to do yet. I'm eating my breakfast and relaxing with a cup of joe trying to figure it out. Let you all know later.

Hey maniacs!!!

Wow...I am getting on here late. I got a phone call from a friend who is going thru some personal stuff and was talking to her alot longer then I expected.

Anyhow, here is yesterday's workout:

Leaning Out Phase of 15 reps w/1min rest

CHEST:

Bench #55 5/15
Incline DB Press 15's 3/15
Incline DB Flyes 15's 3/15

SHOULDERS:
Arnold Presses 15's 5/15
Lat Raises 10's 3/15
Bent Over Raises 8's 3/15

TRICEPS
Overhead Presses 20# db 5/15
Lying Extensions 10's 3/15
Dips 3/15



The weights seem very light, but w/a minute rest and lots of reps, I can say I felt these. Actually have DOMS this morning from it all.

Today is cardio/abs

 

[Fitnessfreakk366]

Char - Wow, nice workout. Nice weights for those high reps, too. What rotation are you following? Is it still the same one Dallys sent you?

 

[SheWolf]

Okay I changed up the workout this week. I did one day of right/left upper body, one day of legs and now I am going to hit my upper body again over two days.

So today was Chest & Back, and still following the one working set, this was a Superset Pyramid kind of thing.

IMAX2 through first blast as warmup.

2 warm-up sets of 10 reps for each exercise, superset style.

***Note that I did pullups & inverted rows because I knew I would not be able to complete as many pullups as was required.

Inverted Rows - BW
Incline Barbell Press - 35#

1 Pyramid Set, Rep Pattern 6, 10, 15, 6 to failure(at this point you return to the original weight you started with)

Pullups/Inverted Rows
5/1,
4/6,
3/4/8,
3.5/3
***Black number unassisted, Purple assisted, and orange switched to inverted rows.
superset w/
Incline Barbell Press
80# - 6
70# - 10
60# - 15
80# - 8 to failure
***Think I need to up this a bit next time so I fail sooner on the last set.


Then I did Combos & Intervals 2 thru 7 of IMAX2 and the stretch. Workout was 56 and burned 419 calories. I have to get to bed sooner, got up late again then had set-up problems so got started really late and once again ran out of time.

Hi Ladies -

I'm off today, but I'm having a really bad day. Personal problems! I did my David Kirsch workout this morning and some kickboxing. I'll post more when I'm doing better.

Deb - did you download P Roach "Almost Told You that I Loved You"? Don't forget about Hollywood Whore....it rocks also. Did you get the Pop Evil song Another Romeo & Juliet too?

I did cardio kicks this morning.

M1 Cream of Wheat, egg whites
M2 Protein shake with strawberries
M3 Turkey on a flatbread, veggies
M4 Salad with chicken
M5 Protein shake

 

[Hermia]

Mmmm....you had cream of wheat! love that stuff. Think I'll have it for bfast tomorrow. Can't wait for the weekend! Sick of grading. blah. Not that the weekend will bring complete relief from that, but I will get to chill a bit nonetheless, and maybe go to Disneyland.

Never did abs yesterday after yoga class. Today, though, I did half of Tracey's Core Strength and Conditioning and the advanced "Stressed Out" routine on Yoga for Your Moods.
