VC in 2011

[VampireChick]

DB Shoulder Press 10kg x 12 (per arm), 10 x 10, 12.5kg x 8, 12.5kg x 6

Wow, 12.5kg! Nice work!

Cheers! Was a mission but gets easier each week. Went to pick up the 15s but went "nah, not gonna happen".

[Mr_Krabs]

Front Raises 6kg x 12, 7 x 8, 7 x 8 (A tad light I know)

7kg is plenty heavy for a DB front raise based on your other shoulder weights, I would say its just right :wink:

[VampireChick]

Yep definitely trying to work towards a figure comp next year - we shall see

[VampireChick]

Back from two days of solid snowboarding. Every man and his dog was up there but still managed to get plenty of runs in. Oooh, and I landed my first box in the park! Whoop! Took me about four times to get it right. :shifty:

[Chillicat]

:clap: Awesome - congrats!

[rose]

Nice work VC. Got any pics?

Did you try the PB mountain wraps this time? Is the food aspect getting easier with repeat attempts, etc?

no but will get some pics in a couple weeks time. Keen to spend at least half the day doing park stuff next time. I've been living on oats, tuna wraps and protein bars up there. It's easy as now

[VampireChick]

Right, measurement time!

Weight - 62.8kg

Height - 172cm

Tanita Machine (Athletic Setting) - 24.5% bf

Skinfold Measurements - 19% bf

So I'm kinda at a loss as to what I am in regards to bf measurements but anything is better than the 28% reading I got last time!

[Chillicat]

Oh nice one - your BF on the Tanita has gone down heaps (even if it's not entirely accurate - a drop is a drop!).

[poos_n_wees]

My general rule of thumb is just to go with the lowest reading :pfft:

But like Chilicat says.. good result nonetheless! Well done :grin:

[VampireChick]

Bit of an average workout today cause I had to workout in the arvo (and have my measurements taken in the morning). Didn't really have my workout mojo today and I'm gonna make up some of my back workout on my cardio day (Sat)

Man, its a completely different vibe compared to mornings. I'm not sure about other gyms, but its a total meat market at Exodus! All the guys checking you out etc The gym goers in the morning seem a little more focused on their workouts.

Anywho....

Wednesday - Chest and Back

BB Bench Press 15 x 20kg, 8 x 40kg, 8 x 40kg, 4 x 45kg, 4 x 45kg (last two sets with spotter)

Lat Pulldown 15 x 26kg, 10 x 33kg, 8 x 33kg, 4 x 40kg

Cable Cross Over 8 x 7.5kg (each side) x 4

Seated Cable Row 10 x 33kg x 2, 8 x 40kg

Feeling a bit bleh. Time for my chicken and veg soup.

[Specter]

[VampireChick]

so you had good looking guys checking you out this time chick?? :pfft:

No They were still all heinous

[runveerun]

woohoo well done on the BF reading- I knew you were below the 28% or whatever it was you thought you were! 19% is great! :grin:

[VampireChick]

Cheers Vee And even if it isn't accurate at least I have something I can work from (I'm pretty sure I'm still in the 20s but oh well).

[Specter]

so you had good looking guys checking you out this time chick?? :pfft:

No They were still all heinous

oh..maybe they wont look at you anymore when you start your sp250? They might get intimidated by you if sp250 brings out the monsta in u. :pfft:

[VampireChick]

Hmmmmm, now that I don't mind

Shoulders

DB Shoulder Press 10 x 10kg, 10 x 10kg, 8 x 12.5kg, 6 x 12.5kg

Side Raises 10 x 7kg x 4

Front Raise - Plate 10 x 10kg x 3

Went to do upright rows and kinda strained my neck so gave it a miss and did some ab work. Basically, I had a bit of a fall up the mountain and hit my head pretty hard on some ice (luckily I was wearing a helmet). I was too busy checking out my man in the park and my board caught onto a rock and swung me round. SHAME. So my neck has been pretty stiff since then. I'll add in a few extra shoulder and abs exercises on my arm day this Sat.

Friday - Legs

Took my weights down a notch today, to really work on my form. I've been trying to go as heavy as I can and ruining my posture etc in the process.

Feeling a bit sick - need some food! :twisted:

[VampireChick]

Right, so I've had a chat to my new trainer and we've decided to aim for figure in Taranaki in November. It's a bit sooner than what I'd like, as I reckon I have a bit more work to do - but I'm gonna go as hard as I can until then and see how I go.

I start my new plan on Wednesday. Watch this space.

Hitting the town with the ladies tonight - will be a combined 27th between three chicks and a semi engagement party. It'll get dangerous! So I've allowed myself a couple wines (have a bottle of that 8% rose). Will treat myself tonight before I get into my new training next week. Although it'll only take me one glass before I'm hammered, I'm such a light weight these days! Plus my mates have been a lot more understanding now - and think its awesome I've gone all hardcore on my training. Taranaki here I come
