Ya see, I turn my back on this place for a minute, and someone posts pics!

OMG - what a wonderful change you were able to achieve for yourself ! I'm with Steak, be proud of your feat, and kick the doubters to the kerb.

As for the hulking - train 'til you like the way you look, pause and re-set! But take no-one else's opinions into account. Not the ones who think gurls shouldn't have real biceps, not the ones who think you don't fit their vision of healthy or whatever.

Cheers TFB and Steak Wouldn't say i'm proud as such, anyone with enough motiviation to get off their ass could do it, im more just relieved and happier living a healthier lifestyle i guess.

Yup i think thats a healthy attitude to take, i'm really not too paranoid bout hulking and i'm quiteeeeeeeee a way off even beginning too so meh, i'll just keep doing what i love. :grin:

Just saw/searched for your pics. Huge effort in that short ammount of time. Be proud :clap: You look great

:shock: I wouldn't say it was *that* shorter time... most people expect to loose like a kg a week, i definutly didn't. But time was never that important to me, as long as i was doing all that i could do.

:clap: Good photoshopping skills there buddy ol' pal. Pity its the wrong journal and face. :wink:

Sundays Training: Legs

• Cardio: 5 mins treadmill max incline at 6.5kmph

• Squats 15x4 @50kg, 12x4 @55kg, 12x3@57.5 kg, 10x3@60kg, 9x3@62.5kg :grin: woot (although not squatting that deep at this weight)

• Lunges 10kg x30ish

• Leg Press 121kg 12x2

• Mountain climbers 2x 30

• Push ups 12x2

• Leg extension 70kg 9x4

• Glute machine 68kg 15x3 (each leg)

• Hip adduction 80kg 10 x 4

• Hip abduction 80kg 10 x 4

I should probably note (if its not already obvious enough) I got a little carried away and spent about 25 mins squatting and skipping inbetween each set for like 30secs-1 min. Why? :shifty: Ummm I blame excessive energy from protein cookie testing and having had actual normal amounts of sleep lately. I think i'm officially in love with skipping though as my cardio source :kiss: beats boring treadmill and cross training hands down and keeps the heart rate right up.

Sundays Diet

M1: teax2, grapefruit, 3 egg whites

M2: salmon salad, tea

M3: my homemade protein cookies (dont ask how many... i had to taste test each of the 6 batches to perfect my receipe)

M4: tofu and veges

My bad.....

[ThePman]

hahahahhaha

high squatting is one thing I have to rib people about, don't take it personally

mainly because most every jerk you see in the gym "squats" either one plate or three plates (never in between!) for reps that move about two inches.

as long as you're not doing that you're fine. a little high is OK :wink:

Heh! Skipping along the beach is still gay Mr Fatz

...any kind of info on how bad it is for your joints, i.e, compared to the evil that is running? I suppose your never doing it for as long so it probably could never have even slightly as damaging effect.

I skip for 30 mins non-stop at 150 rpm. My joints are fine. I only do it once a week at the moment, but last year skipping was my cardio of choice, up to 40/45 mins at times. Do you skip on your toes? "Make sure to land on the padded portion or balls of the feet to avoid knee injuries." Engage your arse. Oh and I mostly do alternating feet styles, only do double foot jump a few times for maybe a min each time, to break up the 30 mins, as I find it jiggles the moobs too much. As with anything, once you get past a certain point it doesn't really hurt anymore :grin:

FARK 45 mins of skipping? :shock: :shock: Are you serious? How the hell!?!?!?! Its incredibly intense.... your truly a machine Rose. :clap:

What do you mean by alternating feet style? :-s I know what you mean about doing-the-moob-jiggle, i try and ignore that by not going too close up to the mirror :pfft:

Hmm good tips about engaging ass and landing though, i shall try and focus on that.

Heh, yep, serious. Dunno aye, thinking about it, I got into it years ago, didn't belong to a gym and didn't run. Skipping was cheap, I only needed a rope and I could do it at home. Last year I used it to mix things up as I got sick of running on the street (posers, rain), and being a lab rat on a treadmill/crosstrainer or whatever at the gym. And it's quite meditational :shifty: Zone out city. It's great for your arms and calves :grin:

Good rope is a must. Not expensive, I just mean a rope cut to your height, and plastic rather than fabric. Wrong music kills it completely for me too, so I listen to washing machine oonst oonst stuff at 150bpm to keep zee tempo so I can zone out.

Re moobs/mirrors, I don't skip in the gym itself cos it's mostly carpet, so I skip in the concrete carpark outside the door (private basement, not public :pfft: ). The double foot jump jars moobs more and is pretty intense to maintain for looong periods of time.
