Don't you have a riot to attend or something.

With all the sibling squabbling out of the way and now that I've clearly lost I can say in good conscious that I don't own a cowboy hat. I don't currently own boots but I'm not opposed to them just for the reason above. You can wear them anywhere. They are the Texas version of the little black dress.

Yeah...they are pretty tough...the problem is that the people who are usually doing them on the mats make 'em look so easy too! We'll get there...and it will be exciting when we do!!!!

Thanks Paula! A minute sounds like a LOOOOONG time...but I know I'll get there...someday!!! And yikes...90 secs...30 was killing me...and once I did the 30...I couldn't do 30 again...lol...

shiiiiit.
So, the "150" in there isn't 150. Aoife no know how to add, apparently.
*sigh*
It was easier though, and I don't know if with my ab soreness today I could have easily DONE 150, so it's just as well.

Shoulders can't handle more than 25 yet. No big deal, like bench I'll just work on form and control till it's easy and the next bump can be done.

Crunches, planks, bridging all reduced for weirdly sore abs. Prolly all the planks lately.

That's all 8 reps on the YTWL... I just forgot to write it in, I guess.



music:
eurotrash - zeromancer
idiot music - zeromancer
house of cards - zeromancer
raising hell - zeromancer
how high - tricky
what kind of love are you on - aerosmith
figured you out - nickelback
switchback - celldweller
i stand alone - godsmack
love in an elevator - aerosmith
famous last words- zeromancer

boy, for a random shuffle that's a lot of one artist at the top there...

Make Me Believe is another good song. With all this talk of Godsmack I need to put some on and make it through the rest of the day.

Just that i don't translate this wrong: you do the deadlifts with 150 lbs=68 kg? You do deadlifts with my bodyweight?

Just FYI, in my 6th workout, i used about 40 lbs with 15 reps

Well, not today. Today was 140 (63kg).

Everyone starts somewhere. I think I started with the bar at 45#... but I've also always been kinda strong... lots of heavy lifting, just not in the gym.
It's taken me ... 4 years to get here from about 100 pounds with my highly inconsistent training.

I'm sure you'll progress much quicker. especially once you're not doing 15 reps. I can't do hardly any weight for 15...

Your lack of sucky music disturbs me.

I have altered my log-reading plan to include yours. Pray I do not alter it further.

well....
ok. So I decided to start adding in pullovers. This is a horribly difficult movement for me, and some of the source of my shoulder issues... from pullover extensions done a few years ago when randomly my shoulder started popping out. Now I can't close the sunroof without a lot of effort.
So I started easy, and had a step top above my head as a fail-safe (did these on the floor). Tough, but doable. Will slowly increase.

my benching is much more stable, better rom, and overall hella lot less scary (though still scary) so I might bump the weight for the first couple sets next time.

it got scanned funny


music:
opticon - orgy
the beautiful people - manson
i stand alone - godsmack
iron head - zombie (and ozzy)
spookshow baby - zombie
figured you out - nickelback
all my life - foo fighters
situation - godsmack


Good things about working out at home:

dancing between sets. not that I can't do that in the gym, but it's easier to cage dance in my own cage, which is shorter than the gym ones. and noone getting the wrong idea.

randomly doing weighted punches while laying down on the floor for no good reason other than it was a good song and dancing required getting offa the floor.

1/2 of my workout and all of my rest is under a wonderful ceiling fan that means I barely sweat till I leave the room.

kittehz luves me.
which can also be a bad thing.
flipper decided he needed attention during my second plank, nearly choking me with fluffy tail (he's a long hair tuxedo), and then completely got in the way of the moving arm with weight for the YTWLs causing an abort of the rest of the set for cuddling and petting purposes.
…yes, I could have shut the door, but he didn't come in till the end and I was done and didn't need to do the rest as I do them nearly every day.

Lol...the cute totally fooled me...I went "awww" when I saw the pic! We have three now, here's a link cause I'm a 'tard and can't insert the images:

Kittez

...one's a runt...not photos of her yet...2 boys and 1 girl. That's Felix the orange tabby, Oscar in black and white. (like the odd couple) And the last one is Taboo...she's not in there tho.

They also like to play with daddy when he's using the foam roller...getting in his face and playing the game "have you seen my ass?"

We luvz the kittyz!!!

I miss my cats! And I'm a hetero dude!

Good job on the pullovers, weak though you may think they be. (I think that sentence is correct...)

Nothing like having the cat come over and flop down whilst you're doing a plank, putting his head on your hand, and then look at you as if to say "Well, whatthehell you waiting for, scratch my head."
