Thanks, everyone! For some reason, despite all of my obstacles (ie my MOM and her myriad of problems), I've been pretty much on plan and on target so far this summer. Of course, just being summer and being so active all the time sure helps out a lot, too.
Jane, I have just been reading the first few pages of this log, and to compare the workouts you were doing two years ago to the ones you are doing now is AMAZING!! It's true, we don't see the little changes, but when we look back over time, we sure can see the big ones!
Way to go; I hope I can make as much progress as you have!
Very impressive workout. And I see great differences in your comparison pics. Congratulations on working so hard and achieving results.
Thanks, much!

I don't recommend this with a good book, but in the case of my log....just skip to the end. And, thanks!

Thanks, Brandy....still a work in progress, as always.
Got my first of two back to back depletion workouts done tonight. Still hate them!

15 reps of leg curls - 6 sets
15 reps of calf raise - 6 sets
15 reps of DB Incline Chest Press - 6 sets
15 reps of Wide Grip Lat Pulldown - 6 sets
15 reps of DB Lateral Raise - 4 sets
15 reps of Bicep Curls DB - 4 sets
15 reps of Tricep Pushdown - 4 sets

Repeat tomorrow.
ugh. looks like hell on earth! so you're doing 6 sets of 15 reps PER SET? How long does it take?

Yes, Jill, it is definitely hell on earth! Two days in a row! And, you read that right......6 sets of 15 reps per set. Lyle is sadistic. Making damn sure I am glycogen depleted before my carb load.
Oh, and it takes me about 1-1/2 hours. I try to superset as much as I can to speed it up.
On a serious note, I'm always impressed with your work Jane.
thanks, Anne!

I'm so smart....I completely forgot I had some dumbbells here at work. So, I've already gotten my depletion sets done for my arms! Yeah! So, now I just need to do legs, shoulders, chest tonight. Now, maybe I can get out of the gym in an hour tonight.

Ha! I have some under my desk! LOL

This workout isn't supposed to set any PR's, but I managed a couple anyway. Felt really good today, even after a fairly hard week of workouts and low cal.
It was a bit distracting at the gym tonight....it was empty for the most part, except for this young guy and girl who were making out. Really distracting. She's giggling and he's trying to impress and the whole scene was so ridiculous. Couldn't help but be distracted. Bleh.
And now it's time to CARB LOAD.....see ya in about 4,000 calories and 24 hours!
Is the idea to keep it lower on the fat content as well? Just asking because it seemed that way. Way easier to push the calories up with full fat versions, but I figure there's a method to your madness. For your sweet tooth (saw the sweetarts there) maynard's wine gums are yummy and mainly carbs with a touch of protein. I wasn't going to add any candy to my maintenance week but I bought a pack on Friday when I was out.
Yep, gotta keep the fat low, which is the hardest thing. I mean, how easy would it be to just go out and get a large pepperoni! I'm supposed to stay under 50 grams, but went a tad over.
The Sweetarts and Smarties work for me right after my workout to get a quick shot of dextrose/maltodextrine into me before the actual carb load begins. I actually snuck in a few Pez this time, too.
And, thanks!
