Hardcore Fitness Maniacs August 29th Tuesday

Good afternoon,
This mornings workout was 2.5 miles on the treadmill, then Interval Max minus the w/u, Ab Ripper X with she weights and med ball, 3 sets barbell rollouts on toes @ 45#, Bowflex kneeling crunches w/ the lat tower 25 reps @ 160# 3 sets, Bowflex oblique twists 25 reps ea side @ 50# 2 sets, then Stretch Max w/ the band.

Stephanie, sorry didn't get to see the pictures on your picture trail.

Charlotte, no DOMS with that workout. I usually get DOMs the first time I do it after I have left it alone for awhile and then none.

Ann, glad your headache is better. I hope you get things resolved with your truck soon. Butts and Gutts looks great. I ordered all of them so am really excited about getting them.

Adri, SJP and SB has some great premixes on them as well.
As far as building muscle I think you have to go lower in reps just to be able to lift heavier. I think you can go up to 12 reps and gain muscle and as low as 6. Also there are other techniques for getting over plateaus or adding weight like drop sets. On abs I think varying reps, sets, and exercises is the key. Personally I go somewhat lower on obliques because I don't want to build them to much.

Hi to everyone,

Hi all well I ditched the gym today so no powercut.I did instead ripped slim and lean it is a toughie I burned 330 calories with this one.It clocks in at 62 min (I skip wu)I used 10-39lbs and was shaking all over.I hope to do taebo impact later.
Adri for what it worth I build muscle in the 3-6 rep range-but do other rep ranges 8-10 and endurance styles-over 10reps(for me) to shake up things and to keep from over training.The 3-6 rep range wipes me out.
Diana sue you are a true mad women treadmill and imax.
ann-I am so excited for the new series ready for some kick booty workouts
char-hey girl-whats your wo tommorrow-always a inspiration
stephanie-I think me and you did the same workout
lori-hope your day is good
edited because I forgot to say HI to Debbie:p
 
Thanks Diane Sue and Shelia. Tonight at the gym I'll be sure to fix around some things;-). I'm doing biceps, tris, and abs. No cario today but a 10 minute jogging warm-up on tread. Do you think a minute and 30 secs between each set is good for muscle building? Sorry for so many questions today x(

Diane Sue- Sounds like you got a great workout today! Good job:)

Have a good one
~Adri~

Hey everyone,
Sounds like everyone has most of their hardcore working out in. I have yet to start anything! Tonight is cardio, but tomorrow I'm also forced to do cardio because I'm meeting someone for dinner. Just easier to fit in a long run instead of coming home, working out, changing, then going back out. That's why I miss my morning workout motivation. Anyway, don't think I ever confirmed what I did last night. W/u and 1st segment of Step Works and PUB. I was going to do the Firm Total Body Shaping Mix, but before the workout I noticed my feet were hurting a little more than usually and took my NEW shoes off. Blisters the size of cannonballs all over my feet. I'm so depressed. Gonna try to sell them on Ebay. Can't return them because stupid me threw away the box. Only been worn three times too. I think I'm going to send Nike a nasty-gram about how disappointed I am. They stopped making my shoes and I had to buy the "next generation" shoe. Well, I swear its not even in the same league. I'm at least going to try to recoup a little cash to get another pair in the coming months. I know the mileage on my current shoes is way too high, but they still feel good, so I guess I'll wear them for a while longer. These manufacturers should understand that when you're a runner its important to stick with the shoe that goes best with your foot. How dare they try to make anything else :).

Charlotte - hope you get the motivation you need for that workout. I'm waiting here for a little bit. Too humid to run until dusk.

Adri - glad to hear you're going to get SJP & SB. They're great w/o.

Anne - good luck with the lemon law. I'm definitely not immune to my fair share of car trouble.

Debbie - question: it seems like you prefer to lift vs. cardio. If so, do you find it harder to do the cardio (due to muscle fatigue and bulk) or easier (due to muscle strength and bulk)?

Maeghan/Anne - how did the back and cardio/double go today?
 
Oh, good workout.
Charolette, I did some pumpin biceps. I had to take longer breaks, but they were burnin.....I pulled the new 30's out for back and i am going to feel it.
Did you buy the shoes from Nike direct?
They will take them back. Call them.....I had a return tag in with mine. If i was unhappy it said they would take them back.Call them even w/o the box and at least ask...

I bought a nikie stability runner. They are blue and orange/white. I like them. They are wider in the toes and have great arch support.

It was nice to come home early today. I left my daughter there. I am getting her broke in and leaving her at the shop alone more often.
After all , that is why i put her through school...

I have chili cookin and got a w/o in already.
Too cool. And it is still daylight...
Love it...
On the question for Deb. I find the cardio easier with the strength. My muscles can handle more. Especially my legs...
Have a great night.
Anne

DB - I don't understand your question. I do love to lift more than cardio, but I enjoy my cardio sessions as well. No, I never feel fatigued doing cardio because I do my hard cardios on off-lifting days. Right now I'm doing 20 minutes on the TM right after my weight lifting session but I don't notice being too tired to do it.
 
Well, I finally got my WO in. I have been pretty blah all day. PMS or something I think. So I relaxed when I could, rainy day and all.
Anyway,

Super Mans (25)
Wide Grip overhand barbell rows 27#
One Arm rows 15#
Narrow Grip Underhand barbell rows 27#
Barbell Deadlifts
Seated Rows with band
Dumbell Pull overs 15#
(12 reps each)
(repeated twice for total of 3)
I really feel like I can go heavier with most of these now, but I need to make a few purchases LOL!! Can't wait till Christmas for those!

I also worked my abs good. Crunches, reverse crunches, corkscrews, straight leg reverse curls, planks, oblique crunches, side plank crunches, oblique twists with 15#.

I was supposed to do carido today, but I got a real good burner in with the above, and it is late, so I will switch and do my cardio tomorrow instead.

Good night guys! You all rocked today with your WO's!

Your welcome! I mean 52 pounds of fat is a HUGE achievment. A lot of motivation is sometimes needed. Especially when it gets down to the niddy griddy. (your last 6 pounds) I wish you all the luck:)

Take Care,
~Adri~
