Or, wait, did she tell you this, or are you just whining?
I wouldn't call it a whine per se...more just like...I'm missing my other (cyber) half, lol.
You CAN have my body (if you were serious about the triumverate...). I don't wanna clog your journal with baby mama drama though...
I forgot to mention; as of today, I am splitting up back and chest. My back COULD be really good (I've got an awesomely solid base *read: everything pops outs*) but I need that 'road map' look. And my chest HAS been striated before, so I know I can get them again. This way, I get to focus on each part individually.

Hey, I am talking to joo. Stop ignoring me. You said we could have your body.
You... lied to me?:bncry:
Hmm I thought we established that two girls > than any other combination, especially in terms of hotness.
Imo, it isn't any good unless there's at least one set of boy parts involved.
Like a sandwich with no meat. Just two slices of bread and vegetables. Possibly some cheese.
I wouldn't call today 'a waste of a day'; but...let's just say, I've been MORE productive. I shoulda just slept and trained. But I didn't. I went in to train clients at 7am, 9 and 1pm. Whaddaya know? My 9am and 1pm clients didn't show. IS THIS AN EPIDEMIC?! I decided to charge both clients because this isn't the first time they've cancelled without calling. So at least I got paid.
This gave me the chance to train earlier in the day, so I came home and took a nap/watch the FOOD network. Not too shabby. I'm going back to the gym in half an hour to do hiit and train a client at 7 (don't know whether THAT one is going to cancel too )
So as I said yesterday, I'm trying to prioritize my legs and back, so I've decided to abandom the superset/triset idea for those two bodyparts, and just go heavy for straights sets for those 2 days a week. I was thinking of Marc during today's workout. The improvements he's made in such a short time are mind-blowing. That's what I want to do!

So, you're one of those girls who looks at food porn. :yelrotflmao:
I agree with this notion.
I don't know what that is, but if the word beast is involved, it must be good. :SaiyanSmilie_anim:
Also, not to nag, but do you have pm's disabled or something? ^_^
Wow a lot of pulling there
Are you just going to carry this on, on your own then?
She sure isn't! We settled the miscommunication that was between us and we are back to being game for eachother

Excellent.
Last night I couldn't sleep so I worked out my upper body at 3am. Hehe. Here's how it went (the barbell bent over row was supersetted with the bench press. The mixed-grip chin-up was supersetted with the barbell push-press):
The rest inbetween the sets is supposed to be 2 minutes but honestly I think I take more like 3 minutes. After experimenting with lower reps it seems that I improve the amount of weight I can do with longer rests. I mean that in the long term as well.
Barbell bent-over row = 6 sets of 72.5 pounds with 4 reps
Barbell incline bench press = 4 sets with 55 pounds with 4 reps. Then I was able to do the last 2 sets with 6 reps :biggrinsanta: My bench press went WAY down from the spring when I almost hit 100 pounds (a big deal for me). It's not longer my top goal but I'm hoping it gets better than this
Mixed-grip chin-up = 6 sets with 100 pounds at 4 reps. This exercise kindof sucks for me because the pulley that I have at home sucks. I can do more than 100 pounds but my pulley can't handle it! The rope starts sticking adding more resistance. I would do pull-ups but yeah, haven't been able to do 2 of those since last summer.
Barbell push press = 4 sets with 47.5 pounds at 4 reps. The last 2 sets I was able to push it to 5 reps. This is one of those exercises that lately it seems like I try to get that extra rep in and fail. Luckily that didn't happen last night.
swiss ball crunch = 3 sets with 25 pound plate at 20 reps

Now as far as my diet goes. I am carb cycling like I pretty much have been doing in one form or another in the past year. It's just too damn useful/effective to not do it.
So my diet goes something like this:
Sun - low carb day
Mon - High carb day (workout w/weights)
Tues - No carb day
Wed - Low carb day (workout w/weights)
Thurs - No carb day
Fri - High carb day (workout w/weights)
Sat - no carb day
I weigh myself every wednesday morning wearing the same thing every time. I find the scale to be VERY useful in this sense. Just like last year I am seeing results consistantly and it's encouraging. I'm down to 148 (A few weeks ago I was almost 10 more pounds than that. When I started this thing I was around 152) and I can start to see my body take on the form that I am more accustomed to.
Did I mention that I HAVE to lose a good portion of this weight by the end of September? Well I do cause I am taking a backpacking trip to the Black Hills/Badlands in South Dakota. I have to be in good shape cause for the first time ever I am going backpacking with another person. I'll be damned if I'm the one huffing and puffing! I also grew out of my favorite hiking pants!!! I am NOT buying another pair.

Oh yeah, for the first time I am trying to lose weight without keeping track on fitday. I had done fitday for so long every day that it was just getting repetitive to type in the same damn thing all the time. I wish they had something where you can automatically have a certain food on every day.
I also plan on doing a lot of travelling and random crap. Which means that I won't be able to keep track during those times anyways. It's too stressful to keep track like a marine all the time then suddenly have to just wing it for a week. So now I'll just accept my some what chaotic life for what it is and lose this bogus fat by guesstimation. I am very interested to see how it turns out. I also want to see how the lose of muscle goes into play since I am not watching my protein quite as close.

105 pounds for 12 reps?!?! You are a beast! And I mean that in the most awesome way possible.
Just knowing that Jaim's arms are bigger and stronger than mine increases my drive by 87%. That's actually why I'm here. You see, it's all about me - Everything.
