How they feelin 5 days on? Did you get DOMS?

Just make sure you really warm the hams good before getting really intense with it. SLDL's can definitely cause a strain if the muscle isn't thoroughly warm.

warmed up and cooled down (stretched really well) but nonetheless was walking funny for a good three -four days. It felt like my hams were about two inches shorter, in a good way?
I think I will try doing more vigourous warmup though, I know I'm not really doing enough (five min walking on treadmill).
I am looking forward to tomorrow- BIG TIME!!
I'm doing nothing today, I just don't feel like it today. Resting up.

Resting is good! I have taken a couple of rest days too. Winter makes me want to hibernate.

Legs today!

SLDLs
70x 10, 10, 10
I'm pretty sure I can go up a lot more in weight next week, it felt light.

Squats
65 x 10
90x 6, 6, 6
95 x 6 (PR )

Leg extensions
100 x 10
110 x 8
120 x 6, 6

Lying curls
40 x 6, 6, 6
For some reason this exercise does not jive with me. It feels awkward, makes my calves cramp, and feels 'wrong' Maybe I'll phase it out?

Walking lunges x 80

I feel really good today

Great workout! I have to tell you...I feel the same way with the lying curls. I feel awkward and had calf cramps last night too. I think I have one leg shorter then the other too because I always end up with my right leg almost off...it's a bit of a gong show! LOL

I'm glad I am not the only one. Maybe I just haven't found the sweet spot yet.
I have read that you are supposed to point your feet to better activate the hams, but omg that is the worst for the calf cramps when i do that. I usually pussy out and flex them instead...it's frustrating...

Oh yeah, I'm going off the pill soon, Saturday will be my last one.
I am not sure what changes to expect, but I am not changing anything else. So any changes should be from that. I'm hoping a little fat will come off in other places than the breasteses- haha
It was Yasmin 21 day, if anyone is interested, and I have never had any problems or negative things from it, but I am interested to see what happens.
I don't normally have mood swings or anything for the record.

Trex...I took that same kind for quite a few years. I have struggled with peri menopause symptoms for the last 2 years (doc says the weight loss triggered it..similar to how girls with ED may have issues with peri menopause). So I did struggle with moodiness, bloating, irregular cycles etc etc even on the Yasmin. I went off the end of June and I was nervous about doing it but have felt great. The first month is a little weird and the first cycle was quite heavy but my overall mood and feeling of well being has improved being off it. We will see as time goes on but so far, I'm really glad I made that decision.

Keep us posted how you find it.

Have a great Friday!
