I'm sure you rocked the Dash!

Happy Monday! Got a couple of clients this morning, an eval, and then TKO class. I switched one of my evening clients to TKO because he wanted to do it and it opened up due to an injury to someone and they can't finish the sessions, so he is doing them.

Stats first:

Assessment: Could have done much better this week.0 -
Strength - Deadlifts and Arms today.
So I start doing curls with the EZ bar and it was anything but easy. I was really struggling for some reason. Same thing when I started doing tricep extensions with the bar. Were my arms overworked? Did I suddenly lose strength? Was my diet way off?
It wasn't until midway through the second set of curls I realized the problem - instead of 25 pound plates, I had put a pair of 35s on the bar! So I was doing a full 20 pounds more than last time! AND STILL NAILING IT. Okay, well, honestly, my form was alright but I could not do all 10 reps of the second and third supersets. But close!
Also increased the dumbbell curl weight to 35 from 30 (more reasonable!)
And, last, I upped my deadlift to 200 pounds for the last set of five.
A good workout!
Food: spot on!0 -
P.S. My wife made this - with raspberries instead of strawberries - as a post-workout dessert:

Super tasty. Highly recommended (if you're okay with dairy.)0 -

Yeah, for me the the raspberries would end up a "streak" mark in the the undies since I'm lactose intolerant.P.S. My wife made this - with raspberries instead of strawberries - as a post-workout dessert:

Which Vibrams did you get? I ordered some New Balance trainers that have Vibram soles ... it's an interesting blend of technologies. Seems a lot of people are using 'minimal' shoes for cross-training and weight lifting now.
No exercise yesterday (other than walking 1 mile round trip to the sandwich shop.) Food was on target.
Legs & Shoulders today; no mistakes with the weights this time - could be dangerous with squats.
10 minutes calisthenics and abs.
Dumbbell Deadlifts.
Power Clean & Press (this has become one of my favorite exercises.)
Supersets of squats and upright rows, or squats and dumbbell shoulder flyes.
Stiff Leg Deadlifts & Lunges
Increased the weight for squats slightly.
I'm going to need to have my suits tailored very soon ... pants are getting quite loose.0 -
I got the KSO's and Komodo's.

A good Sunday to everyone!
Cardio: 1 softball game as catcher.
3 hours of yard work and tree-trimming. Not tracking for exercise, but have to say it felt good until I found a wasp nest the hard way. Luckily, only one sting. ouch. Those suckers are now d.e.a.d.
Food: On target. Made and enjoyed a few gluten-free brownies.0 -
Welcome back Brandi! Glad you had fun at the Dash.
Took my daughters to their 5k race this morning (Girls on the Run program), then my wife and I had a quick 2.5 mile walk (~200 cals.) A beautiful day to be outside!
Also worked Chest & Back. Flat bench at 185 seems to be getting easy, so I'll try to up it next week. I did bump up the last set of incline press to 155 this time.
Food: not great this weekend, but not terrible.0 -
Crap, you just reminded me I need to trim the tree on our property since the branches have to be a regulation 8 feet high off the public sidewalk!A good Sunday to everyone!

Happy Monday! 10 days left in the month! My DD's school time is almost up! Man, this has been a fun year so far! Got a client this morning, one this evening then TKO. Not a good eating day yesterday, but hopefully some of this weight is mostly water since a lot of the food was sodium filled. Looking to having a good workout since today is the first day I try my new Vibrams for squats!
Cardio: jog/walk- 3 miles (560 calories)
Strength: quads- squats, leg press, leg extensions. 12,10,8,6 increasing weight each set.
Assessment: Hot dogs and ice cream at a kid's party. Need I say more?0 -
Monday: Rest Day. Starting with that Warrior Dash, then softball, I seem to have tweaked the hamstrings and calves. Might have to take it a little easy on them this week. Doesn't help that I spent Monday evening moving furniture, including my 90 pound old-school TV by myself (yay for strength!).
Tuesday: Strength training, upper body.
Diamond pushups: 5x5
Pushups: 5x5
Leg raises: 3x20
Scissor Kicks: 4x20
Tricep dips: 4x8
Planks: 3x30sec
Side planks: 2x30sec.
Stretching for hamstrings, calves, quads, and gluts.
Food: on target.
Assessment: Up a little. That whole "being a woman this time of the month" bloat.0
