whohoooo a gym log!


ok..remember the thighs INCLUDE quads, hammies AND hip abductors...squats are absolutely fantastic for the thighs....lunges too....

do you have access to free weights rather than machines?

Hey Katzue started a Gymlog!!!
Cool beans, I just think my Gymlog was too much trouble so I asked the Moderators a while back to delete it and I am posting everything in my Journal. I see you had your LBWO, but I didn't see the Calves in there at all?
Did you just forget to post them or are you not doing them?
I love doing Calves just as much as I love doing Squats.
The last BFL Challenge I did I really was able to see the defenition in my calves and that really rocked. DH has Killer Calves (he's a runner) and they are huge. He told me soon my calves will be as big as his I told him I don't want them quite THAT big LOL.
Happy day 3 of the Challenge girl!

Yes but guys in that part of the gym scare me they are sooooo buff... And I hate doing calves because they're so defined from running on an incline with resistance that they're really really toned... Every time I do any kind of calve exercise, it puts me out of commission from doing a HIIT the next day because I have constant Charlie horses (yeeouch).

Help me with exercises though, beautiful ladies.

Default Day 5 Challenge UBWO

Boyfriend and I went to the gym last night.

I did tricep dips (on the machine) and finshed off with the tricep flyes thingies (LOL i need a gym vocab) with free weights. Next came biceps and I used free weights (up to 15 lbs at the end) to do hammer and regular curls. Next came me trying to bench press and failing, so switching to 15 pound dumbless to do chest flyes and press. I did bent over rows using 12 pound weights as well as my favorite floor move-- the superman where you use your back muslces and arms to contract your back. Finally, I did shoulders using shrugs with 20 pounds (YEOUCH) and over head presses... I was shaking so hard at the end. Next came abs on the machine that you add free weights too (up to 15 pounds woo hoo!). I finished up with 20 mins on the cross trainer.

great job!


hey you might want to try doing the exercises for the bigger muscles first during your workout so it doesnt exhaust your smaller muscles before you need them....do chest and back first and then throw in biceps and triceps....abs later...honestly, i would choose say 4 exercises for a workout and stick to sets and reps for those 4 with rest intervals in between.....are you doing the BFL style pyramid?

well hmm...maybe you should just go to the gym on days when you need to lift...and on cardio only days you can run outdoors? would that work?
