I'm feeling remarkably human for a Friday so hoping this ridiculous hot weather abates for this afternoon's training. I like Friday afternoons in the gym -- it seems I'm the only idiot in there.

It's a never ending trend Nicole since I can remember. Monday it's full to the rafters and Friday you begin to wonder where they all (the Monday people) went! I reckon we should always qualify the question like this: "are you dedicated, determined, and disciplined...all week or just the beginning of it?"

You're never an idiot Nicole; you just happen to have the three Ds. Well done Tigress. I’m very proud of you indeed.

Fadi.

It's an interesting cultural effect. Gyms are full on monday & then as the week goes on, less & less people are in there. You'll also notice that more people (mostly guys ) do the mirror work. Bench press, bicep curls, tricep extensions. hardly Anybody does touches their legs. When doing bodybuidling i use to squat monday & friday!!

Have you thought about donating your swear jar money to a charity instead of spending it on yourself?!

*laughs*, yes Monday is Guiltday in every gym on earth it seems!

PB, do you mean The PowerBuilder Future Fund or a registered charity?

I give a proportion of my income to people, places and animals who need more help than I. The next donation is to Wildlife Victoria -- I laughed at the coincidence in WWF's last newsletter, which talked about rescue bats and how they devour protein shakes

.

Back to topic, I didn't reach my goal as far as the scales, but I'm retaining fluid from the ongoing heat and I'm not too fussed. I had a great eating and training week and they're the main things.

Did deadlifts for the first time in ages last night to get the groove back. Probably shouldn't have experimented after bent-over rows and Romanian deads and two sets of a very modest 30kg nearly killed me

. Anything connected to my hips hurts.

March

Lost 2kg but lifts went up so all good. Mind is playing games regarding next phase even though I'd already decided and I'm overthinking everything and sending myself nuts.

Will have a light week this week as left elbow has some signs of overuse and will do four more weeks heavy after that if healed.

Decided to have surgery to correct the problems in my big toe, but possibly not until June when I have enough leave from the new job to cover me.

Current work sets:

Squat:
45kg x 6
45kg x 6
40kg x 8

Bench press:
42.5kg x 7
42.5kg x 6
40kg x 6

D/bell press:
30lb x 8
35lb x 4 (first attempt on this weight)
35lb x 3
30lb x 7
(or do I say it's 60 and 70lb as I'm lifting two of the damn things in the air?)

Bent-over row:
35kg x 7
35kg x 7
35kg x 6

Rom deadlift:
37.5kg x 9
37.5kg x 9
37.5kg x 8

Deadlift:
still dicking about to find working weights

do you mean that you did you're deadlifts at the end of the workout?

minithemeezer · 04-04-2010, 11:40 AM

My usual order is squats first as they're my weak point and take the most energy, and shoulders before back (based on a great thread here somewhere) and the order of the rest get moved around.
