Hi Jens!!!jenscats5 said:The "bad" knee feels ok - my left knee hurts tho for some reason.....
Waiting for my knees to be sore more tomorrow, so we'll see.....
treilin said:LOL your 2 funny...
I know a thing or 2.
What's the problem?
Gymgurl said:Looking good Jen.....your diet and training look tight........
ck2006 said:Hope the knee feels better
florencia said:Hi Jens!!!
Maybe knee hurts because of that freezing weather you wrote about!!!

T-Cake said:Hey about your knees -- I find that if I put Yohimburn on my knees before working out, it helps the blood flow especially there and that keeps them limber during cardio sessions. I discovered that last summer when I was running -- try it out!
I personally hated putting Yohimburn on in the Winter b/c MAN ALIVE the wind just goes right through you -- but just on the knees or just applying it at the gym might help a little! Just an idea!
Diet and training look great, Jen.![]()

Glad I could be of servicejenscats5 said:Thanks T-cake!! That's actually a good idea - I used the YES on my legs today too but didn't think of using it on my knee.....I'll try it next time....
And thanks!!![]()
florencia said:How are those knees today?
que_66 said:No "Bear Steaks" on the menu?
Do they sell them @ Walmart?? 
florencia said:I can't beleive you did the lunges you used to loathe!!! :Wink:

Hiya sistah!!Kabeetz said:Jen,
did your knees hurt on the lunges?
jenscats5 said:No not really......mainly squatting/crouching (ie to sit down) & walking down stairs......
Kabeetz said:How long has it been aggravated for? Just don't make it worse is all I'm saying if it is starting to become chronic nip it in the bud.

Some days I think I'm as white as it gets. Just hike up my pant leg and voila' instant nite-lite.
Do you start going to a tanning bed and then use pro-tan at the end to finish it off for comp?
Btw.....Love the shirt! "I train like a girl."

It was very reminiscent of chris farley in that chipendale's saturday night live skit, I must say.Kabeetz said:You haven't mentioned your knee last couple pages, everything going OK Jen?
Also my part-time second job is a couple nights a week in Women's Shoes at Nordstrom.. and I've been there forever and I kinda can't stand it so I do whatever I want.... and I did like a 4 minute posing routine on the floor with tons of customers around me the other night, it was pretty hilarious. Hulk Hogan is still my number one posing inspirationIt was very reminiscent of chris farley in that chipendale's saturday night live skit, I must say.
jenscats5 said:LOL Cool! I can just imagine you posing surrounded by a crowd.....I practice my posing in between sets & get some looks....
Knee is doing better - no longer hurts at all walking down stairs, doing leg presses or lunges.....but I'm going to hold off on squats this week & next just to play it safe......crouched down earlier tonite too & it didn't hurt either....Yay!

sbt2082 said:Yayyyyyyyyy for the knee feeling better
How ya doing today sistah!?!
jenscats5 said:Thank you Booby, erm, GG!!![]()


T-Cake said:Jen, your lifts are great. We have similar routine!
I wanna learn how to pose! And good for you for having a cheat meal -- I'm all for pushing people to eat.![]()
I have a feeling I'm going to be the hog at the Arnold being like, "Here, have a sandwich..."
Proud of you sister.![]()

florencia said:Jens!!! Pizza?
![]()
I just order two, dos, deux, ay ay ay...
But they are "log oven" (whatever in english)...margarita, and four cheese....
I'll let you know if I can follow your other steps...no red blast tho...
tell me about it???
Pizza was great!!! really thin almost no cheese!!Lot's of chopped tomato, and basil...That bread texture it what comforts me!jenscats5 said:MMMMM, yes, wood burning oven pizza - good stuff!!![]()
I am liking the Red Blast....makes me THIRSTY tho.....but it gives me an, erm, "enhanced" ability to focus or concentrate on lifting....not sure if I'm eloquating this correctly.....it's diff. for me than T-rex which almost makes me angry & I lift angrily....Red Blast doesn't really give me an "intense" workout per se, but it's more focused & productive. You can't get it down there??

I bet you have if thats the casejenscats5 said:One thing I'm noting in the past month is that I'm cold a lot of the time now....I'm usually a warm-blooded person & hot/warm a lot, but lately I'm cold most of the time.....need to get another BF test to see if I've dropped....
sbt2082 said:I bet you have if thats the case![]()
OH MYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!jenscats5 said:I need to schedule an appt. with Cory & see......I'm sitting here in sweats, wrapped in a blanket, turned the heat up AND have gloves on!!

Jens -- totally hear ya' on the temperature rise with the Reds/T-rex and a carb meal. My dinner last night was GREAT but I was sweatin' my butt off with my therms goin'! Ay yi yi.
And definitely get the BF measured again -- progress would be good for you right now.![]()
ice before and after to help with your knees.. It'll probably be a chronic thing but that is something you can do to alleviate the pain.jenscats5 said:**Workout Update**
This week, kept the same schedule: 3 days HIIT cardio & 3 days full body circuit......got some good lifts today @ the gym - 30lb DB O/H shoulder presses, 60lbs each side on the Hammer Strength chest press, 70lbs on the HS Iso Lat High Row....... I feel I'm stronger than I was.....
Knees have been achy this week -- left on & off achy & right is achy where the screw is......so I may skip the treadmill this week even tho I've been enjoying it - I like that it seems that my "wind" is better and I have the perfect treadmill run cycle of songs on my lil pink Ipod!
**Diet**
Pretty much the same....no real cravings - had the 1 cheat meal yesterday with the pizza & a glass of wine tonite.....
Still can't fit into the size 8 pants, but I feel leaner for some reason....
