Decided to do legs today - wanted to get a lower body workout in before the end of the year and also wanted to be able to walk on New Years! So, today:

10 minutes cardio as warm up

Quads :
sumo squats, 5 sets, 10 reps each
10x45 lbs - warm up
10x70 lbs
3 sets of
10x100 lbs

Glutes Hammies and Quads:
lunges, 3 sets, 45 lbs, 8 reps each leg

Calves:
single leg raises, bodyweight, 3 sets to failure each time
angled raises w/ 45 lb barbell, 2 sets to failure

Hammies:
Laying curls, 3 sets, 8 reps squeeze and pause on last rep all at 70lbs

Some stretching, followed by whey protein (25g) w/ glutamine (10g), Vit C mega dose (1g) and some dextrose (40g) - and now back to regularly scheduled laundry!

Love the new pic Nat

I have no clue what day it is - all I do know is that I don't have to be at anyone's house this evening for a big dinner. Tomorrow is, however, another story

I hemmed and hawed but after about 90 minutes this morning I did my cardio - almost empty stomach, 2 cups of coffee and a litre of water.

45 minutes, higher than moderate intensity, sore thighs and surprizingly enough, sore calves who'dathunk? Not me. I've given up figureing out when they're going to hurt or not. No rhyme or reason to it.

May do the bis/tris/shoulders tonight - going to depend on the expectorating and the groceries.

Nat.

p.s. J, thanks I live with digital boy now - I could change the damned avatar every day if necessary. I may even be a cat tomorrow!

I better have sore arms tomorrow! Take away from these calves, oy vay! Of course I could do the same workout 3 days from now and not feel a damned thing.

Today was tris/bis/shoulders with a little guerilla cardio thrown in for good measure.

18 mins guerilla cardio - 4 mins warm up, 10 mins 30 sec intervals, 4 min cool down, followed by

Tricpes, one armed extensions, kickbacks and push downs
Bicpes, incline alternating curls, concentration curls, hammer curls & cable curls
Shoulders, lateral raises, bent arm lateral raises, shoulder presses.

I'm too tired for the details tonight!

Hey,

Thanks for the help on the CKD board. I forgot we had that search option on the site.

I love the new avatar. That shirt is awesome! I have a shiny red shirt similar to that, that I'm saving for when me and a friend drive up to Montreal to go clubbing this summer. I've lived in MA my whole life, have driven all over the country, but I've never driven to Canada! I want to make the trip this summer before Im living down in Texas for good. The fact that the drinking age in Canada is only 18 (I'm 20, and he's 19) plays a minor part in the road trip decision also!

Thanks again for your help,

Michelle

*lol* Michelle, it's 18 in Québec, it's 19 in Ontario and it's 21 in some provinces! Be glad you live closest to La Belle Province and be glad you're going in the Summer - It's a much more fun place to party then!

Just wanted to drop by and thank you for the holiday wishes! Hope you had a great Christmas. Any plans for New Years Eve?

Robin

Oh yes, Robin. The Black Tie Ball at the Officers' Mess is on the menu. Cannot wait - 5 course meal, dancing and champagne. Oh and a fancy ball gown

I was heading to the old gym log to finally post a picture of the workout room / gym / dungeon. Here goes.

Re the gym . . .

I am very jealous . . .

Thanks for sharing that! You are very inspiring and give the me the kick I need to forge ahead.

I love reading your entries and sharing your pics.

Nat I haven't checked in in awhile (And I've paid for it dearly), but as soon as I did, I went looking for you. Quite and inspiration you are! You look great! Have a wonderful New Year.

LOOK AT THAT BACK! You rock so hard Nat
