Stage 3 Workout A is FREAKING hard!!! (It bears repeating)
|
AGREED! This workout is insane, but you did amazing! I know what you mean on the DB bench press, sometimes you just can't push out the last one. Its like you want your arms to go up but they just won't move! I too have yet to complete two rounds of the body matrix, but I'm hoping I can do it today. No treadmill intervals today, I'm going to focus only on the matrix!
Also, I definitely agree with Tom about the avatar showing progress. You look fantastic =D |

Two intervals of that matrix MIGHT happen in Stage 5! Thanks for the kind words!

Again, thanks, but I seriously don't see it! I just changed my avi since I don't have red hair and it looked like I did in the other one!

No, I'm moving right on....had enough of a break when I was sick. Plus, I have a feeling I will be taking a break when the puppy comes in 3 weeks!

"footballer" - should say "soccer player" on here I think?

I know this is a bit late but my trainer tested me for leg dominance by standing behind me and telling me to relax. Then he pushed me forward. I had to put a leg out to keep from falling. The leg I put out was my dominate one. It was my left leg and I am right handed. Interesting... |

Well, I am injured. 
I seem to have sprained/strained(?) my right wrist. I can't really pinpoint how I did it, but I am thinking it was those darn YWTL's. I'm going to do RICE on it and skip my workout tomorrow. I'll see how it feels on Monday, but it may need some time. It really hurts to flex my wrist backwards, forward, and twisting back and forth, too. I've got it in a wrist brace right now keeping it compressed. I think I'll ice it off and on tonight. DAMN!!!!!
