NLmain I have a belt, but wouldnt mind a custom one, I really press low on abs and i cant jam a belt down low enough past the hip bones. Ive seen what you do with your photography talent, it is tempting.
Mim Well arent you all quick wit today! I like a fast tongue. ---->

BN Im ALMOST afraid to ask what that means esp coming form a “naturalist”, which excuse the ignorance but Im assuming means your a nudest? [/quote]
Sorry–english (and peurile) humour.
Oh…naturalists study narure
Naturists…on the other hand get naked at any available oppurtunity.
leg ext singles 25, 30, 35, 30 8 reps held at top except 35 set not so much
heel raise 50x13 long squeeze
combo back ext weight behind head 1x8 , 2x8 15#
kneeling leg curl single 20,25,25,25 4x8 reps hips tight, no bouncing butt
then did the sitting hamstring single leg new machine counts reps and times it…30# #35 single leg
Then instead of bike sprints I climbed on the beast AKA SPIN BIKE Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
10 sprints 1 min on 1 min off alt standing,and sitting, equally as painful. The tension stays full throttle on the spin bike more so than the regular bike, yes Im a gluten for punishment, but Id only be pissed at myself if my legs dont get nicer.
Yes, Im feeling good about my progress. Ive gained 3-4 lbs since starting this log, today 3.5 - but Im not a huge advocate on scale weight, I want to SEE my gains.I should do some measurements, yea good idea haha
I really think the spin after legs helped with recovery, how does that even work?
Same thing happens when I trail ride after or that night training legs.
Seriously you train then you train MORE and your not as sore??? Im confused.
Someone clear this up for me!
Guys thanks, good work good fun this is.
NLMAIN only if you are wearing that silky number
Mim ohhh thats right you dont have a fancy pants phone, hehe
Kids are still sleeping but home today.DO some more forced family bonding and bake some cookies with daughter, trail ride with son = win of a day.
I’m totally with you on doing some kind of “cardio” the day after a lifting sesh. It makes my DOMs feel better too! I think I read somewhere that it helps by flushing out any lactic buildup…but i could’ve just totally made that up!
Btw, have you ever heard of OnFitness magazine? (i always pimp this mag out) I highly recommend it if you’re interested in the sciencey part of fitness. Its totally readable and chock full of info. I don’t normally read magazines, but I get this one which comes out every 2 months, and when I buy that I also buy Oxygen, you know for the pretty pictures and stuff. I feel like these two mags compliment each other well. Then I donate them to the gym once I’m done with them - secretly trying to turn gym bunnies into she-beasts!
+1 on the active recovery and OnFitness. Both are solid recommendations.
Although, I disagree with much of what Frank Zane writes in that magazine. He’s really anti heavy weights for whatever reason and I keep meaning to write in but then can’t be bothered. Most of the stuff in there is really solid.
Definitely take measurements and forget the scale. I have a scale for quick reference (I know if I’m losing weight that I need to eat more) but I don’t guage any progress on it.
JOE BEHAVE YOURSELF! and dont be blaming it on NLmain ha
BN hmmm sometimes i think IF I didnt pour it out, I need to make up for it. No BSS so I did spin bike knowing it was tougher than the regular bike. That being said my body is no different than most, I know it needs to rest to GROW. You are killing it by the way!
Masherano AKA sexy abs mmmm nn mmmm No I actually havent heard of that mag, I used to get Oxygen for motivation, Ill be sure to add it to my list. Yea I think the lactic acid thing sounds familiar. Ive definitely been hit with the cardio bug, I cant wait to do MOAR! Gonna be a little warmer tomorrow ill hit some trails then. Did you ever figure out the PPs?
James we never even had a scale till kids started needing to get weighed for sports etc. I usually do the “nakkid test”, Im sure it is self explanatory. Works like a charm, no guessing, no weighing.
PG Well YES. YES it is. The power of the Almighty Booty, ENDLESS
BONUS: early lunch with the hub, Chipolte Lime chicken Salad Yummo
Mmm ,i get what you mean on the ‘naked’ test. No joking…the scales have been of least help while i have been reducing recently, appearance and feel have been much more helpfull.
