Almost didn't go to the gym today, then thought sod it and increased the speed as well! Trouble is, now I know I can do it, I'll consider it wussing out if I drop below it again, and it was pretty tough. Oh well!

Seriously though that's a huge amount of weight for your size - I is well impressed innit! We're so going to have to have a show down

Not far off

Squats have been going up every week for the last 7/8 weeks or so. Can't wait to try a 1RM again and beat 60kgs

Chris, that's bloody good doing dude .. mental mouse king !!

OKie... well today was fun! For me, it's a hard work out, but then I haven't been to the gym/done fitness for AGES (probably near 6months - year).

My routine is:

Treadmill Warm Up: 7mins
X Trainer: 15mins
Bike: 15mins

Theeen... (I bet this sounds so so so wussy..) 4 sets of 12 of each of these...

Chest Press: 14kg
Low Row: 14kg
Shoulder Press: 10kg - 15kg (she said see how I got on as I was an inbetweener)
Seated Leg Press: "unknown weight as it was broken - and not by me! \o/"
Squat: 5-10kg 8 Reps
Bicep Curl: 15kg
Tricep Extension: 15kg

And that's it. *feels a complete wuss*.

I actually felt giddy after the aerobic exercise too :/ Boooo.

Still, will see how I get on. Luckily in the mornings it looks like old biddys go along so I won't feel so conscious (though most of them were better than me which made me feel uber poo!)

I'll try and remember to take my phone camera in with me tomorrow, I can never remember the names of half the stuff I do

Pheebs you're going to have bigger arms than me at that rate!

Ok prior to my gym restarting going to dust off my rowing machine at home and ease myself into the swing of things over the coming week. Then come first full week in May its back to the gym 2-3 times a week plus the rowing maching at home the other days. I know i must be mad but honestly sick of looking in the mirror and seeing this train wreck of a body being reflected back. So going to give this a dedicated push back to a healthier me.

Oh no!!! You're joking aren't you?!?!! I said I only wanted toned arms!! I don't want to be a muscle man!

Should I do lighter weights and more reps then?! Not convinced the lady I was with was that good...

I thought the work out was... well... hard going for my first time back! Not managed to do it fully as been away and car's in for MOT on monday so all being well I plan on trying it out Tuesday. Think I will be knackered to bits though.

*eak*

Don't want to be muscley

Piggymon · 26-04-2008, 18:29

Pheebs, do you have ANY idea how long it takes, how much work and serious training it takes to build mega muscle for women ?

We don't have the hormones for it !

The mega muscley bodybuilding ladies you see have either taken steroids or have really got their diet and exercise nailed - by nailing the diet I mean they literally eat tonnes of chicken and rice 6/7 times a day.

Lift heavy and you'll build a little muscle which will not only give you a nice shape as the fat drops it will actually burn fat whilst you're resting

I lift as heavy as I possibly can and keep pushing myself.

Will · 26-04-2008, 18:43

Absolutely - you haven't got enough testosterone and HGH in your blood stream to develop huge muscles - men are more fortunate as testosterone is a mild anabolic so helps muscle growth - you don't have anything to worry about!

I was just impressed at the weight - it's good going!
