Flyes 10x30s 10x30s

Things to take in to account:
1. No spotter
2. I have been experiencing cold sweats, muscle cramps, nausea, fatique, foggy feeling in my head since yesterday morning.
3. Energy levels where way down, I couldn’t focus on my workout as I usually do. I’m sure it is on count of this bug. I take ibuprofen for the cramps… there getting that bad. Within 30 minutes I start feeling better but tired. Who care… I got in there and I tried today.
4. I did get a good pump from what I did do (pic included below). It is a bit blurry. Taken from a video… need a better camera for sure but this will give you an idea.

Contemplating on 45 minutes of cardio tonight. It would help my immune system but then again I want to rest. I have no idea what I will end up doing. I was supposed to do abs and calves but I’m not up for that today… that can wait til another day. Cardio on the other hand, I don’t know!

Legs are tomorrow! I sure hope I’m feeling better by then.

Thanks for reading,
Heather H.



First picture was taken with camera...

March 01 2012 | Leg Day

Leg Day... Hells yeah!!!

On this note: I’m feeling so much better than the past two days! I’ll be honest though, I’m feeling a bit bloated. It has actually become a little irritating. I have had a lot on my mind and according to my research… stomach gas (yea this is embarrassing) can be caused by worrying. I’m honest though and it has effected my training and cardio. Especially when walking on the treadmill. Any jarring seems to irritate the … uh you know…



So as you know yesterday was Chest day… a Sh**ty one at that but I got in there. I focused more on flyes than anything and for me its all about developing my body. I wasn’t that into it but my chest feels sore. It surprised me this morning when I woke up. In my opinion you gotta get in your flyes. Well come to think of it I did bench 155 and yes that is to my chest. Really pisses me off when girls go halfway down. Don’t get me wrong that is ok if your just using it as a different technique but not when it comes to maxing!!! 165 is my highest number yet sadly… no spotter like I said yesterday though so I didn’t want to chance anything. So I guess I’m not going to say 155 is my official max as of now. 165 was about 2 months ago…



For breakfast I had 2 poached eggs, ½ cup oatmeal, 2 rice cakes (crushed up in oatmeal), and ¼ cup sugar free syrup (in oatmeal). This is about 1/4th of my daily calorie consumption but it is leg day after all and I need my carbs. I always find this to help when squatting. Lets face it, it is hard and squatting takes fuel!



I’m going to focus on a wide range of different stances today. Hams are coming along nice as are glutes. Haha I remember when I thought having a big butt was bad ;p



Just cause I’m in a good mood and feeling a lot better I’m gonna share my play list with yall meatheads Prolly can’t list them all but here is a majority of them:



1. Kalmah - Skin of my Teeth

2. Kalmah - Defeat

3. Devil Driver - Cry for me Sky

4. Devil Driver - Monsters of the deep

5. Hollywood Undead - Paradise Lost

6. Times of Grace - Strength in Numbers

7. Children of Bodom - Tie my rope

8. Fear Factory - Self Immolation

9. Fear Factory - Shock

10. Mudvayne - Dig

11. Night wish - The Islander

12. Amaranthe - Act of desperation



Note* I like all kinds of music but during heavy stuff its all metel. I like being able to understand the hard stuff more than none but I gotta have something to get me going. Oh, hate country, that is a no no for me. So other than that I’m always looking for new stuff. Any suggestions is welcome



Todays routine:



Squats

Front squats

Half squats

Sissy squats

Leg ext.

Lying leg curls

Stiff leg deadlifts

Walking lunges



p.m. (after 45 min. cardio)



Calf Raises (300 reps)

Crunches/reverse crunches w/ resistance bands attached to ankles/ db side bends

Wrist curls


Reverse wrist curls (go til it burns for forearms)



Ok everybody I was gonna post all sets and reps but I am way to tired for that!!! It was ok, not the best but not the worst either. Gotta keep pushing!!!! Bodyfat is dropping, I can tell already so pretty psyched about that.


Good night for me all!

I was dead to the world last night. I'll include more on my next workout ;p and funny you say that... I put up a thread on bb.com and I copied it from there so I guess they filtered it. Pretty much done with that site anyways. I didn't even notice it til you said that haha

Hi Heather.

Good log. I've been lurkin here.

Thanks for the music. I wish more posts had stuff like this.

I wear out the stuff I listen to.

If you'd like I could add a few, but I'm an old fart that listens mostly to 80s style metal.
