I always do that on interval days. From the loud feet to the gasping for air. The non runners on the hamster wheel get real angry at times. I can see them walk up and then see this sweaty man and they move to the other machine. I love it

I am considering CrossFit sometime down the road, too. And not only because that's the closest gym.

Julie, don't you just love the videos? We watch one almost every night. I just shake my head.

Oh T, so do I, I giggle inside. I get some evil looks though.

Thanks Karen! I'm thinking crossfit offers some amazing challenge, whole body lifting and cardio work, and it's so different all the time that it's hard to get bored.

Well, yesterday was Stage 1, Work out B # 7. 3 sets of 8 reps, 60 seconds rest between each. Except for deads, all alternating supersets.

Here's the numbers:
A) Deadlifts
140
150
160

B1) Dumbbell shoulder press
25s
25s
3x25
4x20
B2)Wide grip lat pulldown
15 plate
15 plate +5
14 plate +5

C1) Lunge
30s
30s
30s
C2) Swiss ball crunch
5 plate +5 on cable stack
5 plate +5 on cable stack
5 plate +5 on cable stack

Finished with HIIT
1 at 3
2 at 5
1 at 9
2 at 3
1 at 10
2 at3
1 at 9
2 at 3
1at10
2 at 3
15 minutes for 1.21 miles

Thoughts:
*I went kind of ape crap on the deadlifts. I'm not sure what happened. Each time I felt so strong that I just added 10 lbs. Very weird.
*I finally got a set or two of 25s, but my shoulders really burnt...so the weight was good I guess.
*the HIIT killed me. It is amazing what upping the sprint speed just a tad does. Eventhough I went shorter than last time, I really felt it. I got so sleepy later that I went to bed early.

Man, I sure to love lower rep sets. This was fun. Can't wait for the next one of it! Almost done with stage 1.

Food Highlights: none really, staying in macros well. Still eating at maintanence. Fighting the urge to drop cals a little. Gonna stick at maintanence at least for a total of 2 months.

Today will be body work HIIT at some point. I'm awful sore and not looking forward to it.

Great workout Mel, Good job on deads. I think there comes a point where the weight can go up almost exponentially. Then you hit the wall, then you do it all over again. That is what I love about dead lifts. Here is a second on lower reps. Not a fan of the 3x15 or 2x25 with 30 sec rest!!!

Thanks T. I totally agree with you, and I'm worried that that wall is coming fast. After I did the set at 160, I thought, "man, I'm in trouble next time.LOL"

Oh yeah. MY fav is sets of 5 or 6. I even like playing around with 1 rep max stuff.

Oh, I got a chance to watch your favorite crossfit video---that one is so impressive, but I never can watch the whole thing because they all three look like they are in so much pain. They are so strong though! Makes me jealous.

Nice deads!!! Holy crap girl. You are growing so big. Nice to read that you are struggling with maintenance cals too. This is almost a daily struggle for me as well. I am supposed to be eating at 2400 a day or more and yesterday I just barely made 2200. It is a matter of really staying on it.

Thanks K....arg....don't tell me I'm big, lol. I really thought the eating would get easier, but it's getting harder for me every day. I think this is because I am soooooo conditioned to cutting programs where I eat at a deficit. There's this subconscious thing going on in my brain that tells me that if I'm not cutting my cals, I must be growing fatter. So, when I'm eating like this, it doesn't really matter what the physical evidence shows me, my brain thinks I must be getting fat. Scale isn't moving, measurements aren't changing, but I just KNOW I'm gaining weight. This is a real mental hang up that I'm working through. It is really opening my eyes to how much mental issues play a role in this whole ballgame.

Thanks Dianna....I almost think it would be easier on my brain to eat less. But...this body right now needs food. I have to MAKE myself eat....

Well, ran home after school and got my workout in. My mindset was terrible going in. I've got a 2.5 hour drive tonight, and my hips and back are giving me some gip already, so motivation for working out was terrible. First, I messed around for a while, then finally got down in the gym, then messed around some more. When I got down to it, things just didn't go great.

The good news, though, is it was the last stage 1 workout A. #8.

Here's the numbers:
3 sets of 8 reps, 60 seconds rest between each, alternating super sets, except for squats.

A) Squats
145
145 x6
135

B1)Push Up
t push ups plus 10s
t push ups plus 10s
t push ups plus 10s
B2)Seated Row
100
105
105

C1)Step-up
15s
15s
15s
C2)Swiss ball Pike
8
12
9

HIIT
1 at 3 mph
2 at 5
1 at 9
2 at 1
1 at 10
2 at 1
1 at 10.5
2 at 1
1 at 10.5
2 at 1

Thoughts:
*squats were horrible. the weight is in my head. seems like so much. back's tight right now, form was crap. bleh.
*dropped seated rows down to a weight where I could get the bar to touch my belly button. no more cheating.
*I really feel I have the step up form down. Course that means my hips have been hurting since the last set. wow.
*on the pikes, I found I could get a real good crunch by concentrating on pulling my head towards my knees when I was up in the full V position. That really felt like it was working.
*HIIT was HARD tonight. Even though there were only 4 sprints, the 10.5s involved a little heavy breathing.

Well, this workout is done. That's a good thing. I better get on the road. See you Sunday!

I can really relate to this bigtime. After years on weightwatchers, where I was eating at a deficit even to maintain my goal weight, the thought of not doing so seems pretty impossible for me to wrap my brain around. I wish I could tell you something to help with this, but at this stage of things all I have to offer is a "I know what that feels like." I beat myself up on an almost daily basis over this, and it is a very draining and energy-sucking mental struggle. One day we will figure it out, I think. It just might take some real time and really trusting our bodies (and our appetites!).

With regards to your workout, however...you are so freakin' strong. Awesome work, especially powering through your intervals when you weren't that into it. Been there--that's tough to do. I used to do my cardio before weights (before starting this program) and I find it can be hard to mentally get into the cardio--I liked getting it over with.

I hope your hips/back aren't too sore after your long drive!

Yay Mel!! I've got 7 workouts left in Stage 1 (not including the special ones) so I should be done in 3 weeks. I won't be starting Stage 2 until St. Paddy's Day!!

Thanks for the kudos, but I doubt that very seriously. It is all very relative.

Thanks for stopping by Kiri! I'm actually getting quite fascinated by the way my mind is working. It's like I can have all the proof in the world that things are going in the right direction and my brain STILL can't see it. Amazing. It's a great reminder than I cannot buy into my self sabatoging.

Hey Julie! Don't worry about the time frame! You'll get there when you get there, and you'll be in awesome shape when you get there, for sure!

Well, as you can see, I'm back in town. Had pressy day off today, so I got my workout in early....after being a bum and reading all day. I guess I'm somewhat redeemed in that it was a student's book report book, lol.

So, today was the last workout B of Stage 1--#8 to be exact.

I didn't quite have the juice that I had last time I did this workout...eating this weekend wasn't perfect, but it was a decent workout. Here's the numbers:

3 sets of 8 reps, 60 seconds rest between exercises, alternating supersets except for deadlifts.

A) Deadlift
160
160
160

B1)Dumbbell shoulder press
25s
5x25/3x25
20s
B2)Wide grip lat pulldown
15 plate +
15 plate +
15 plate

C1) Lunge
30s
30s
30s
C2)Swiss ball crunch
5 plate +
5 plate +
5 plate +

HIIT:
1 at 3 mph
2 at 5
1 at 10
2 at 3
1 at 10
2 at 3
1 at 10
2 at 3
1 at 11
2 at 3

15 mins about 1.3 miles total

Thoughts:
*deadlifts were strong and form was good. They were hard, almost to failure, so weight is dead on.
*shoulder presses weren't as good as last time...I had two sets at 25 last time
*running was killer today. felt like puking. first time that 10 was my lowest speed on the sprints. Before the last one, I was really debating on upping it. Glad I did now. It was hard, but I think it's the fastest I've ever run in my life, so I'm glad I tried it.

Food:
yesterday was a splurge day to be sure, but weight is holding steady. Today, I haven't eaten as often as I normally do, so I'm a little behind, but I'll catch up, lol. I had a shake and a peanut butter and jelly sammich after my workout, so that was good, hehe.

Mel - Your DL's are kickin butt. Nice progress. Shoulder presses are tough for me. Not sure what's going on in my shoulder area, but I find I have to warm up my right shoulder alot longer than my left.

I too can relate to the food intake thing. I have always had to fight my weight and have been overweight for so long in my life that the thought of food made me gain. Now that I have been running and lifting now for two years and at the same weight I still can't get the fact that I have to eat more in my head. Its tough too, I want to gain muscle. But every time the scale says I have gained 2 or 3 pounds my initial reaction is I must run more and cut calories. All the while people are telling me I look skinner then before. I am trying to just enjoy the fact that for the first time I can eat like I always wanted to and I hope all this talk about eating more and lifting really will bring on muscle gain. Otherwise I am on to Fat Loss programs.

Keep up the good work and eat like there is no tomorrow!!!

Impressive stuff! That's so crazy that you can get to 10 mph during your intervals. Are you using a treadmill? If I go over 8.5 I feel like I'm going to fly off!

If you've not posted to the women's deadlift chart you should - you're about a 1.5 in terms of deadlift weight to bodyweight ratio.
