T-Cake's 2006 Log

[Ulter]

I am astounded by the changes in body composition that have taken place in the last 4 weeks. But after watching you wear out the spinning bike the other day I'm not surprised. Honestly, I have never seen anyone put on such a grueling display doing cardio. Your head down, legs pumping so fast they were a blur, sweat flying everywhere, it was amazing. Especially at 5:45am.

Hi hi! Thank you!!! You rock, babes.

I am astounded by the changes in body composition that have taken place in the last 4 weeks. But after watching you wear out the spinning bike the other day I'm not surprised. Honestly, I have never seen anyone put on such a grueling display doing cardio. Your head down, legs pumping so fast they were a blur, sweat flying everywhere, it was amazing. Especially at 5:45am.

you tons. Thank you for my roses (yes, he sent them to me at school... whataguy!) I'm happy when you're at the gym with me -- for so long I would come home and say, "Do you KNOW how hard I worked this morning?!" and now it's great to know you actually see ALL the hard work again.

Hey chica!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Hey sugar! I need to pop over to your log and read the latest drama.

Hope it went well and you got to see the kids launch off on their love life...LOL!!!

Oh my goodness, you should have seen those rugrats today! There was candy and stuffed animals and balloons EVERYWHERE. It was like a Hallmark store blew up in my classroom! They are sooooo "in love" -- ah, to be 12 again and know everything about love and relationships, right? Love ya' girl.

Chest & Back: Tuesday, February 13, 2007
Last night's workout was insane...

Incline DB Press (Goal: 30# dbs, all sets of 12)
30# dbs x 12 x 3 sets Made the goal!

Lat Pulldowns (Goal: Perfect form, 10-12 rep sets)
1. 105# x 10
2. x 10
3. x 8, DS 90# x 5 Personal best; gym trainer assisted reps 8-10 on sets 1 and 2... BURNED like hell but made it.

Seated Row (Goal: 97.5#, 105, 105)
1. 97.5# x 12
2. 105# x 10
3. same as 2 Made it!

Pec Deck (Goal: Increase weight; reps 8-10 arms DON'T touch)
1. 67.5# x 12
2. 75# x 10 Felt good; doesn't touch last few reps
3. same as 2 Made my goal!

DB Bench Press (Goal: 1 set w/ 30# dbs)
Last time I couldn't get the 30s over my head... I tried 4 times... but tonight...
1. 30# dbs x 5 Ulter says "Just do sets of 5 or 6..." I only got to 5 because my left arm lost it's balance when I came down too low
2. 30# dbs x 10
3. same as 2 Surpassed my goal, big time!

Felt really good about all my records tonight thought my body was on fire! Oh well. Ulter found a new thing for me to add to shoulder days to help with my lat delt growth so I'll throw that in there. I'm going to see my dad this weekend so my gym schedule will be a little messed up but it's all good -- I haven't missed a day or a session since my surgery, so I am very proud of myself for not shirking EVER. Night night!

Can you do wide grip chin ups yet? They have assisted machine too ... Wide grip did very well for me.

 

[Sassy69]

Wide grip chins & rows are amazing.

I am goign to preface that w/ make sure you warm up your shoulders sufficiently tho -- the rear rotator is the most common part to get aggravated and it can really affect your abilty to do anythign - esp if you are going to introduce this grip + weight.

 

[Ulter]

That's a good idea, thanks Sassy and Bunny.
She's going to change out some things next week. The machine she's talking about is the HS isolated lateral shoulder press. This doesn't seem to bother her shoulders and is a great machine to finish with.
