IslandGirl's Dynamite Comes in Small Packages

only the 2 way. Never done the 3 way. I love DC training. IMO there's no better way to train. Now I just need to get consistent again. Yeah right. Easier said than done with a 2 and a half year old and another baby on the way in a month and a half. Gotta try though. The blast and cruise part works well for that. If I can do a solid blast for 6 weeks, then if I can't be consistent for several weeks, I just call it a prolonged cruise. lol!
Oh yes, I totally hear ya' about finding that right balance between family and gym time. It really doesn't get that much easier when they grow up cuz' then they have sports and other activities that Mommy and Daddy needs to be at too. But I LOVE that saying....If Momma ain't happy, Nobody is happy. I really think this saying swings both ways...to Daddy's too!
Well at least the cool part about DC is the sessions are shorter since it's low volume.
I wish you and your wife the best with your other baby coming. Have you picked out a name yet? That's cool your wife has some ties to Hawaii. Was she born there? I remember reading about Hawaiian names. My kiddos were given Hawaiian middle names too. And infact,....lol, we have 3 siamese kittys and they all have Hawaiian names. ~Mahina, Hoku and Kolohe~.
Nice chatting with you!

Yea, I'm going to be starting a blast next week. Hope to get 6 weeks out of it, but that will be just about baby time. Her parents will be coming back for a month around then to help out, so I might be able to get another short one in too. After that, who knows?
I sent you a PM about the rest, so as not to derail your thread any more.

Nice. Do you have a journal here? I'd like to follow your 6 week blast.
Got your pm and responded. TY.

Omg! What a leg workout! Intensity was crazy!!! I literally got so sick I wanted to
And this was at the start of my workout. I was leaning over after every warm-up set and working set.
On my working set for sumo presses, for some reason, I felt a slight strain (no pain, just a strain) in my quads pushing the weight up. Probably nothing to be concern about but just noting it.
On hack squats, I have to put my feet pretty high on the platform where my toes are hanging off because I get a pain in my knees so this helps out quite a bit. On my working set my feet started inching it's way up so I stopped on 10 reps. Otherwise I had enough in me to get to 12. Maybe next time I need to set my feel slightly lower and hopefully this will take care of this. We shall see.
I Killed the Logbook!!!
