Cal- I have my trouble areas(just like anyone) And I DO have cellulite. From my waist down to the tops of my quads, I’m jiggly.
Not ready to rock out with my cock out, so to speak.
Tho, there were women there that should most definitely not have been wearing what they were. But you know what? They didn’t care!! so that’s cool I guess.
Wearing the bikini top was a big big step…
Maybe I’m creating this fantasy in my head about wearing my first real bikini. I will know just by looking in the mirror and feel totally 100% TOTALLY confident.
And when I get to the pool/beach things start going in slow motion and everyone stares as I make my way into water, gently shaking my hair out of my face.
Ironcross- ya, something like that. Or he just likes staring at my boobs.
Korn, Godsmack, ffdp, Linkin Park and of course 7D!!! are my fave running/lifting tunes at the moment.
Charlie!!! Thanks for the great info…the warm up alone is like a training session. sheesh!! How did you get into doing sprints? (you probably mentioned that in your log)
Do you think starting to learn would be best on the foamy flat track surface first? Lord Wendler highly endorses hill sprints…And I concur. Form is easier kept. Doesn’t feel much like a sprint though. More like trudging really fast up a mountain, lol.
Good luck with your squats!!! your a natural though, I can tell.
Nice work on the pushups. I bring my chest down lower and lift my head. Of course, since I have no chest, that’s pretty damn low. And I go slow. I can only do 10 before my shoulder makes me nervous.
I don’t know how you can listen to rock while running. I like that stuff but for some reason it doesn’t make mewant to keep running. It’s interesting how differently people’s bodies are wired
Oh I love kettle corn! I bought a big bag of it at Hershey Park last year and ate it on the bus. Awesome stuff.
I’m surprised you only ate half a crab cake, though (expense notwithstanding!)
Great push-ups. That sucks about the knees. The longer warm-up definitely sounds like a good idea. If the kettlebell swings are hurting your knees, focus on getting the range of motion by pushing your butt back, making sure that your knees arent going forward over your toes. You will feel the swings in your glutes and hams this way too!
Hill sprints are definitely easier on the knees; just don’t run down the hill! I’m going to be doing my own incline workout today following legs and my knees never bother me (the quads are angry, but not the joints) . Also, if you aren’t already, focus on landing on the ball of the foot instead of middle or near the heel.

A couple of years ago I tried to start sprinting again and I was not properly warmed up and I pulled my Achilles tendon where it attaches to the heal. I was limping for a couple of months
So I really warm up now. I got into it the first time so I could improve my recovery after going all out, so really it was a conditioning thing mostly.
I would try out the track, the track I found near my house seemed too hard but maybe yours is different. Usually when people who compete train in sprinting they do it on grass mostly. Of course it needs to be fairly even grass too.
Good luck!
The pic is for inspiration her name is Alenka Bikar, Slovenian I think.
Sprinter Bums!
I think I’m gonna stick to the hill sprints until I get my knee situ. sorted. I tried out the track yesterday. jogged a total 1/2 mile with no achy knees towards the evening.
Sarah- I am very conscious of not letting the knees go over the toes. And my stance is very wide similar to my squat stance. just better range for me that way. Think it has something to do with my q-angles…anyway…thanks!!
Iron- ya? good on ya, then! I like biking at the end of a leg day to get the kinks out. Or possibly sprinting in the PM cause the next day I know I’ll be sore sore sore.
Cal- I’ve never had kettle corn before coming here. It must be a local thing? It’s at every festival we go to and normally the same people who make it.
foam rolled at home…(not really foam, 4 inch pvc pipe…bout 2 feet long…perfect for rolling around the floor) sounds bad…
At the gym- buncha warm up stuffs, back raises, etc
'meat n potatos
MP-
65x5
75x3<----was supposed to be 73.something
82x4( fuck, I don’t know how to make 82.23856389569lbs. I put two collars on??)
Front squats-
70x5
80x3
90x5
I’m the proud owner of a couple new 1rm’s now
94 on the MP and 101 on FS according to the calculation thingy.
face pulls–these hurt?? not sure if I’m doing them right…
1 arm db oh press- 2x8x35 2x4x40 1x8x35
incline hs—3x8x55es
chins—
Box squats- nice easy smooth 3x8x95…just testing the waters…haven’t back squatted in ages it seems…feet were as wide as the inside as the rack. felt great!
stationary lunges- 2x15- 20lb kb each hand(moving up in the world!) range of motion going down on my right leg is total CRAP!
single leg rdl holding 20lb kb- 2x15- proud to say most of these were smooth controlled. Though, balance on right leg is terrible compared to the left?? weird.
My appt. was shitty and my Nurse is still shitty. Something inside of me immediately tuned her out and I froze up. I didn’t bother asking her any questions and by the time she was done blabbering away I just wanted to leave and didn’t ask for the referral.
I’m very frustrated and mad at myself mostly. And I can’t stand that lady. She’s very rude and treats you like you are and acts as if she’s rather be anywhere but there.
RAAAAAWR!!!
“The thyroid is just a thing and it just stops working sometimes.” Her words exactly.
I wanted to punch her. Why didn’t I say anything??! I felt like I was 10 years old again, getting yelled at by my Mom just takin it. My communication skills took a back seat. I didn’t want a confrontation, just wanted it to be over.
She’s supposed to call back tomorrow and I’m just supposed to start taking her meds without any further testing done.
