Your progress is amazing! You look so strong and fit. You have definitely made some great changes that I am finding very motivating. Keep up the good work!

I have a bruise on my right forearm close to my wrist after my Sunday workout...I don't remember hitting it so I'm wondering if it's a blood vessel tear...It doesn't hurt if I touch it and looks like a skin burn. Weird.  |

Sveta, you're making great progress! Way to go on the pistol squats . . . or pistols . . . whatever it is that they're supposed to be called.

Finally got to log in another workout!...Last 7 days were brutal. I was working a trade show over the weekend standing in a booth in my totally sex-appealing but painful heels...ugh! 20 hours total. Not fun.
Anyways.
Workout 5 Stage 3.
One Armed DB Snatch
2 x 6 20# I know you all thought this was a fun exercise...sorry guys. I hate it. My arms hurt, my shoulders crack, I'm sure I'm not getting the form right and I've read all the threads and watched all the videos. I'm not doing them anymore.
DB Single Leg RDL
2 x 6x25# each
1 x 6 10 # each. Balance still sucks.
Barbell Bent Over Row
3 x 6 60#
DB Single-Arm O/H Squat
3 x 6 15# and 25#
Replaced bench presses with push ups - narrow and slow ones.
3 x 6
Plank
2 X 60 sec
1 x 40 sec
Exhausted...
EVIL EVIL MATRIX
24 squats
12 lunges on each leg
12 lunge jumps on each leg
24 squat jumps
Took me 4 min 15 sec each time.
What is really frustrating about working out is that you take a break and it feels like you need to start all over. I bet I'm still tired and just don't want to admit it. Getting out of bed in the morning is a pure torture...

I am so jealous!! A pistol. (sigh...)
I know what you mean RE the 1 legged DL. I don't think my balance will ever be good enough to do these very smoothly. They are great though for making the hammies scream.

Just kidding. He wants Mac Air - those are super awesome. Or a puppy. Yeah...He's like a baby I swear. Have to admit I'm kinda excited about a pup,too...totally your fault Jane So yesterday we've spent half a day in an Apple store, and today half a day looking at cute pics of frenchies, yorkies, all kinds of -poos, fun stuff. I'll let you know what we'll end up getting... |

Nat, your body matrix is craaazy. I can't do it that fast...get leg cramps!
I got totally derailed in the past few weeks...TOTALLY. I can't even look at myself in a mirror anymore. It sucks.
I'll work out tonight, will start stage 4 and pretend I just had a rest week...couple weeks that is... between stages...smart friggin move...  |

I don't think you derailed at all. That was probably a needed break, and what you are seeing in the mirror is water. That's all. Just plan for a break next time. I am cutting right now, as you know, and the 4 low carb day are NOT easy, but I can do it when I know there's a carb load (not 'pigging out' and keeping my fats down, mind you) coming my way on Saturday
So plan, plan, and plan.
And your weight went up simply because you took a much needed breather, IMHO. |
