Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Monday Aug 20
- Thread starter lorajc
- Start date
I ended up doing Arms of Envy, Legs of Envy & Abs of Envy. Workout was 1 hour and 17 minutes and I burned 360 calories. I also did Yoga for Moodlifting - Balancing Segment 13" and Dr. Yoga House Call with Ravi & Ana - Flexible and Free and Immune Invigorator.
I did those Envy workouts cuz I was expecting them to be bad and I thought I was going to Ebay them, but they actually had some really different exercises in them and I'm feeling worked. They are done by Michael Carson but he has unknown models appear in the videos instead of a fitness model or someone known. I especially liked the beach setting. Of course, I used much heavier weights than they did.
Have great workouts everyone.

This morning starts Week 5 of my program. I changed some of the exercises and this time I'm going to try something a bit different. Instead of setting set reps, I just decided what weights to go with and do that weight for as many reps as I could. I upped them, and dropped them as needed. I also shortened my rest periods with some sets, that seemed to make a big difference as well. This is what I did:
Chest
2 min. rest
Barbell Bench Press:
65# - 12 reps
85# - 10 reps
110# - 6/6 reps
105# - 7 reps
85# - 10 reps
***This felt good. I was toast after these sets.
1:30 min. rest
Barbell Incline Press:
85# - 12 reps
95# - 7/7/7 reps
***I like doing this exercise with the barbell because I can go higher. Dumbbells hinder me with chest work sometimes.
1:30 min. rest
Decline Dumbbell Press:
35's - 12 reps
40's - 10/10 reps
35's - 12 reps
***I ####-canned the flyes, they make my shoulder pop too much. Maybe if I lay off them for a while that will get better?
Triceps
1:30 min. rest
Close Grip Bench Press:
75# - 10
85# - 7/6
75# - 8
***Tri's were toast after this. I liked how this felt.
1:30 min. rest
Overhead DB Press:
35# - 12/12
40# - 10/10
***First set of these were HARD! The CGBP really smoked my tri's.
1:30 min. rest
Kickbacks:
15# - 12/12/12
***I hate kickbacks.
Upper body is TOASTY!!! :rocker:
It's still raining here. I need a boat to get to work!
Chest
2 min. rest
Barbell Bench Press:
65# - 12 reps
85# - 10 reps
110# - 6/6 reps
105# - 7 reps
85# - 10 reps

I will kiss your feet!!!! Oh, I am still benching 70 comfortably with good form. If I do more then that my back arches.

Morning Maniacs! I spent all day yesterday at a "continueing education workshop" for work. The only food they had there was some cheap donuts and water! So, of course I had a donut and thank goodness I did, because lunch was a horrible cheese and bean quesadilla that I could barely eat a couple bites of. I got home late and had a piece of corn on the cob and went to bed...not a good eating day.
Workout wise, I think I'll go with the gymstyles this week.
Suz- I saw the picture from a few days ago that your dh took from the car. What a fantastic picture! I want to have your dh creative vision some day. He's really good. I'll be taking a 2 all-day field trip photography class in a few weeks. Should be fun.
Debbie- GET OUT! You are so close to benching that bodyweight! I'm a whimp on chest and come to think of it, basically every other bodypart.:+
Anne- Yeah, Deb's benching 110#! We gots work to do!

Good afternoon ladies!
This morning I rode 30 miles b/c I had a dr. appointment so I had more time. Took 1 hour, 50 minutes. My echocardiogram came back good (but we KNEW that!). I just have a little something on the right side of my heart but she said that's pretty typical if you live at high altitude for any length of time. They'll monitor it to make sure it doesn't get any worse. She concluded that I have exercise-induced asthma just like the pulmonologist said. She said that I need to treat it daily and year round though b/c she has put more people in ICU for not treating their asthma (WHAT??). She said that if I don't treat it I can likely end up turning myself into an full-blown asthmatic, especially the way I do cardio 6 days a week. She said the jury is still out on whether or not you do long-term damage to your lungs by not treating it because you are causing inflammation to your lungs each time you exercise. She said they're still doing studies on it. She prefers to caution you to treat it than to take the chance of doing long-term damage. Hmmm...my jury is still out as well. But living at high altitude and seeing so many people on oxygen and the fact that I work out hard every day I guess I should take better care of my lungs. I sure don't want to be on oxygen someday. She said I will never be able to talk with my friends when I ride hard with them, nor will I be able to keep up with them or my husband. Basically, get over it. She didn't say that, I did. She agreed. She's going to work with my neurologist on the medications and my migraines though. Whew!
Debbie - You're amazing!!!
Dallys - Yup, DH just has that eye for stuff, doesn't he? You will too the more you do it I bet.
Lisa - Thanks.

P.S. If it's not windy, I CAN keep up with my friends. I can't talk, but I can hang off the back and can even pass them on hills on a good day. But I will never be able to keep up with my DH. But that's okay. I like that he's so fast. He's kinda cool!

Good afternoon, today has been a crazy day. I started out with Criss Cross cardio w/ Shari Jacquelyn stopping at the lower body work then I did Kick Punch and Crunch intensity drills and 1st combo I did not have time for stretch as I took my granddaughters to school this morning, I came home and did Criss Cross cardio lower body no stretch, and the All Pump Extreme multi joint segment and lower body exercises, core and stretch. I got ready to go to the bank and grocery store and when I got to the garage I discovered my car was leaking some type of oil. I just had it to the shop the 8th
It does not have that many miles and just passed warranty. I am not happy. I need it tomorrow. So dh got off and we took it to the shop. He took me to do my errands. I will be back to read personals. I have a lot to catch up on around here.

Hi Maniacs! I finished Gymstyles Chest/Tris and did Eoin Finns Power yoga short routine. I think this is my favorite yoga practice. I have a kinked neck today and I'm hoping this loosened up my tight muscles.

Hey Maniacs!!!
Worked abs earlier. Gonna just do what Debbie did this morning. I am going downstairs and benching 110!!!! Just kidding, but I decided to copy your workout since my plan was chest this evening anyhow..hope you don't mind, Debbie. So I will post my stats tomorrow..will be no comparison, but I will give it my best shot. I have some cafe mocha in my system..extra caffeine boost..better get going before I crash and burn. lol
Oh, had a nice day at work again. Love to see people smile when I give them their ice cream. I don't think I would be smiling if I had too many banana splits when I looked in the mirror at my backside...ew wah! lol
