I'm intimidated!  We could call you The Intimidator!

Hmmm... Karla's guns, Diane's ass... I think I'd rather take a clock cleaner from Karla than get squashed by nutbar

Bwaaaa Haaaa Haaaa... My tactic is working as planned. You are all now so intimidated that you will climb back on your treadmills and put the oly bars down.... I will rule this competition now.
Now to get more serious about my deads so that my right ass cheek can beat up Nutbar's right ass cheek.
OMG... The testosterone is hitting me. I am starting trash talk. I wanted to lift like a man and look like a Goddess, not lift like a man and start talking like one! Next thing you know I will start to (gasp) bulk!

Quads are BIG muscles and easy to make bigger. The more muscle you have the faster you burn fat. it all make sense in a sick sort of way. My quads are feeling significantly better today but am still grabbing wall to sit down.  I am in this state about 3-4 days every week lately. |

You look amazing and inspire me to continue on this strength quest! Sounds like you are putting up with some significant pain, but MAN, does it look worth it!

If that's true you're gonna start looking at yourself a little too long in the mirror and you'll only see your rack. To the point where you'll begin to wonder how to bulk it up as well. |

I am now quite used to the pain. I wake up almost every night at some point becaus I move and it hurts. I am led to believe that this is part of the process. The tearing and rebuilding of muscle tissue. It is not a bad pain through. It is good and I think worth it.

Thans Ginny Lou. I was surprised when I took these pictures of how much I moved since last month. My shoulders are so getting large.

My friends make a joke that all this food I am eating is going directly to my shoulders. I love your shoulders in your latest pic btw. Nicely buff girl. I think you are the buff one in the contest for me to catch up to. |

Work out 3/4/08
(back, lats)
Warm up Superset
Hip curls on the back extender holding medicine ball
1x15 (8lb)
2x12 (12lb)
Incline crunch and twist holding weighted bar to forehead
1x15 each side (12lb)
1x12 each side (15lb)
1x10 each side (20lb)
DB One arm Row
1x15 (25lb) e
2x12 (30lb) e
Cable rope lat pull down
3x15 (72lb)
Assisted pulls (semi-lateral)
3x12
Swiss ball lower back flyes (2lb e db)
Description: Lay belly on ball and toes against wall at floor. Stretch out with db in hands on floor. Lift up db keeping shoulders down and press shoulder blades together. Keeping arms high, take arms back and pump 10 times before going back to starting position via same route. These made some very obscure muscles in my back tingle.
1x10
Ab roller (3 point)
3x18
We also did a check up on my Russian Shuffle because I had improved these so much in my workout from the time he worked with me on it. It turns out that for the most part I was doing them okay so the improvement did not come entirely from crappy form.
He took my food charts last week and so I expected a lecture on something food related but it turns out that he is pretty happy and even proud of me in fact for getting up to so many kcals a day and so cleanly. He made it a point to tell the other trainer who was there how I had managed to get up that high. The other trainer just laughed and looked at me and I patted my belly. Now they are calling me “fluffy” or “puffy” ‘cause I am getting so big. The facts are though that the muscles are definitely popping out despite all the fat covering them so something is working. I am also not yet gaining fat by the tester so that is cool too.
My shoulder blade area right now is so killing me. I want to lay on an ice block right now. Tonight on the way home I will stop and do some sort of interval work for 20 or so minutes.

If none of your friends are like you I can see where they would think you are a little loopy  .
I can't wait for comments my circle of friends will give me. They don't like it already and I haven't gone ANYWHERE LOL! My hubby? We will see when I get there.

Hahahaha, Fluffy is kind of funny, I think. But building the muscle is what's important! That's awesome! |

I always love it on training days to see what new muscles show up. Tonight my back looked amazing. I am SO looking forward to see where this month takes me. I am pretty sure that next month we will start cutting. I am almost sad to see this come now.... Weird but I am getting used to eating....
