Mommalu's Transfirmation Journal

[slat1]

I'm glad I got you motivated!!
I love working legs now. Actually, I just love going to the gym and getting a good workout in. The feeling of accomplishment is amazing.

I'm starting to get back there myself.
I work 10 to 12 hours a day. I find if I time all my meals right that I go no matter what time I get out.
If I don't have healthy meals I just want to get home.
There is nothing like the feeling of a good workout!

Good for you for getting back on track. I know ~ life can derail us rather quickly as we all know.
10-12 hours is along day. How about first thing in the morning? I don't think I'd want to workout after that many hours of work.
I also find that coming here and writing in my journal and reading the boards is very motivating.

OMG~ I just came back from the gym and had an awesome workout!!
My legs feel like rubber right now I did an all time best on the leg press. 250# for 15 reps (woohoo)
Now let me ask~ where are your hand placement suppose to be for these? Does it matter? Do I have to grip the bar next to my seat, or can I put them on my knees?
Here's my workout:
Leg press 20x180 18x230 15x250
squat w/6# medicine ball (jump) 15 15 15(my heart rate really gets high on these)
DB Chest Press(Incline) 15x25 9x30 12x25
Rows (I used the BB today) 15x55 12x55 13x45
Shoulder raise 10x10 10x10
Upright row(ez bar + 10#) 12 12 12
Standing shoulder press 12x15 12x15

20 min HIIT 3.2 walk 9-9.5 run

I just excited about my leg press!!
Have a wonderful Sunday.

You are just AWESOME!!

On the hand position - handles are best. It is so easy to help when they are on your legs. Plus, now that you are lifting heavier weight - you will find you'll need to hold yourself down a bit

Good Morning
After having 2 days rest I was so pumped to go to the gym this morning. I was even there 5 min before they were to open.(5am) 5:05 no one...5:10...no one...5:15 no one...So I left and drove to the next closes location which is 10 miles away.(takes me about 17 min to get there) ARGGGG I was not a happy girl. However, I did get a good workout in.
One of the guys that I see there when I used to go to this club was there today so I asked him to show me how to do a free squat with the bar. I think I found a new favorite!! I will definitely add this to my routine from here on out.
He also gave me a nice compliment...Said that for my size, I lift pretty heavy That made my day!!
Here's what I did today:
Squats(DB) 10x45(bar only) then used DB's 12x25 12x25 12x25

How's your workouts going

I ordered Lipostim3/Lipoflame so I'm hoping it comes today.

Congrats on the squats. That's like entering a whole new level of lifting.

I think of the squat as something that needs to be practiced. Its the one lift that i'm always concentrating 100% on my form. I'm still not to the point where i can just mindlessly pump out squats with perfect form.

This video has helped me out tremendously



This girl goes DEEP!
