PM WORKOUT

STIFF ARM PULLDOWNS
2 X 12/50
1 X 12/60
1 X 12/50

SEATED CABLE ROWS WITH ROPE - PULLING HIGH(BETWEEN CHEST AND CHIN)
1 X 12/50
2 X 12/60
1 X 12/50

MODIFIED WIDE GRIP PULLDOWNS(SHRUG DOWNS).......take a shoulder width grip on bat and FULLY extend ares so that they are straight. KEEP ARMS STRAIGHT and attemp to do the first 1/5 of a pulldown.....by rotating the shoulder a bit...you will be able to move the bar just a few inches......start with 50% of your normal pulldown weight...once you get the feel......you can top out at over 100% of the your normal pulldown weight.

These were fun. I used my wrist hooks so my hands wouldn't get tired.
1 x 12/100
3 x 12/130

REVERSE DIPS - like the modified pulldowns....you get on a set of dip bars....arms extended....by allowing the midback muscles to relax WHILE YOUR ARMS ARE LOCKED.....you will drop a few inches.....contract the midback muscles(TRAPS) to get back to the fully extended position. AT THE BOTTOM...your traps should be in the same postion as the top part of a shrug.

These were fun, too. I got the shakes pretty bad toward the end of each set, but didn't lose strenght. I probably could have done them with weight added.
4 x 12


CHIN BAR HANGS......wide grip on a chinning bar - use wrist straps if necessary....do hangs as long as possible...be sure to completely decompress with each set....obviously no reps....just a hold on as long as possible.

Used my hooks again. these felt good on my back - a nice stretch. My wrists started to hurt before my back got tired.

-----------------------

I really enjoyed this workout. It was something entirely new and it felt good. One of the guys that works out every night the same time I do asked to try the rows I was doing. I'd just finished my 4th set, so let him have a go at it. He couldn't believe how much they hurt, and how he had to drop his weight way down. lol

My chest is sore. Not as sore as last week, but still sore. lower and outer. I felt it when I was doing the rows, and when on the dip bars.

Jeff just did it.

He repeated each site until he started getting consistant readings:

chest = 3
abdominal = 5
thigh = 13
tricep = 3
Subscapular = 9
Suprailiac = 5
Midaxillary = 5


weight = 146
age = 34
bf = 11.12%
fat = 16.23 lbs
lean mass = 129.77 lbs

I was hoping it was lower.

Andy (trainer from my gym) had real calipers ready for me when I got to the gym tonight. He also had a ginormous book with pictures on how to take a 7 site test. Apparently, he'd been doing his homework since I saw him this morning.

He did the 7 site and took several readings per site. His were:

chest = 3
abdominal = 5
thigh = 11
tricep = 4
Subscapular = 6
Suprailiac = 6
Midaxillary = 6

bf = 10.76%
fat = 15.70 lbs
lean mass = 130.30 lbs

------------


so - they were pretty close. Andy wants to 'practice' on me every week. I'll have Jeff practice, too - and I'll post both sets of numbers.

Good morning, TSO! I tried your protein brownie trick last night with Cinnamon Roll PP. YUM!!! I'll be making a mint chocolate chip one tonight.

I know - it sounds like I'm whining, huh? lol I don't mean it to be that way. If I'm looking at the big picture, I'm very happy with myself and how I look. No complaints - in fact, I feel blessed at this time in my life.

this is the first time I've gone through this - so when I make comments on things like my ass or whatever, it's because it's all new to me:

First time my bf has been this low
First time I've been in ths good of shape
First time I've had to pose

etc, etc, etc

I'm probably also getting nervous. I don't walk around all day wringing my hands or anything, but I still feel it. So - if it seems I need to be bitch slapped to bring me back to normal - please do so.

No, no-no-no-no-no-no, not whining ... I'm just a HUGE believer in the power of thought. The more you look for loose skin the more you're gonna see it.

Your nerves are definitely going to start to jangle and it's absolutely understandable. And your body is changing in such dramatic ways I can't imagine what it's like for you. I've never been privy to watching this sort of a transformation on a day to day basis, thanks to your honesty, the detail of this log and the way you're training, this has to be an eye opener for a lot of us, and it's absolutely amazing to me. The only thing I can compare it to is what happens to a woman's body in pregnancy, it's THAT dramatic. It really is a creation.

I can't imagine you ever walked around wringing your hands, ever. One of the things I really admire about you (and the majority of the women on this board) is that they don't piss their time away beating themselves up over shit they can't change, they take care of what needs taking care of and they keep on keeping on

YOU See???
That is why you should come HERE an bitch whine do all you need to do!!!
Translate this as best as possible...
"my chest is not a warehouse"
Don't keep it inside
COME AND YELL AND GET IT OFF YOUR CHEST,
THEN AFTER THAT YOU CAN DO AS SHADOW SAYS...
SHUT THE FUCK UP AND TRAIN"

...yep...its just nerves...once you have been dieting fot this long, you tend to lost perspective on how you are REALLY doing. All the skin pinches are super low except the thigh......BUT - you know you are losing there, so it is literall the last place it will come off....I think some of that is actually water as well...which will come off.


The 2 bf piche tests were absolutely as tight as possible when you have two folks doing them.....thats great news.

Fantstic job on the workouts.....Its tought to get the form on those modified shrug downs and rev dips - expect some soreness in the midback/trap areas today.

you have a TOTAL of 15 pounds of fat.

To get from 10ish% BF down to 7ish% means a loss of about 3% BF....at 150ish pounds - thats only about 5 pounds.

6 weeks = 5 pounds.


you are in a fantastic position this far out.
