Hey you, your lil dip thingies are pretty awesome. I may try those today.
Oh, and I wish I could diet like you. Your “diet” soundd like what I normally eat.
I’m dieting right now. Day 4. and It sucks.
I would so love to come workout with you!
…you’re a lot smaller and leaner than I already.
_Me
Dip thingies were super fun today, but only could do 1 x 8.
Looking good lady… your so crazy.
Just to update you, I finally did join a gym, my friend… I’m gunning for you now… hit 225 for 5 on deads… 1 lock out shy of 2 reps @ 245, after… it’s been a month + and up to 135 on squats… and climbing… bench, well dumbbells or bar bell (it’s now confirmed), bench still sucks…
Congratulations on moving to Cali! I know you have wanted to do that for a long time…
Just letting you know, I am still checking in on you.
hardway!!! what a baller
Kimba - it’s cool I only did sets of 8 yesterday too. I keep pinching something in my palm on the dip bars…
Yesterday’s pressing lift made me LOL with my weakness http://bobbiskai.blogspot.com/2010/06/push-and-iso-holds.html
I also hit balls yesterday with the 8 and was ON. Thinking I’ll go again today with mah daddeh 
Bobbi I am gonna be a pain in this ass and ask you for some advice…It’s official, in 3 weeks I am going to a kung fu tournament, and participating…
While ideally I like to lift 3 days week… and currently doing a push/ pull/ and explosive with auxiliary split… lifting usually takes me 1 hour and 15 minutes… hour and a half… depending. I am going to need some of that time, to work on more pressing matters… like oh…my form, my weapon and fighting…
DO you all have any suggestions on how I should approach the next 3 weeks…
I was thinking that maybe I should just barbell circuit hard for the next three… worry about my numbers later (I really wasn’t expecting to be invited)…get some sprinting in, and then work forms and stuff, make class the priority as well… over making it to the gym…try to cut some weight (although I have been doing nicely with that over the past month)…
I am a little worried I am going to be to heavy to spar, the women are not weight classed…I am coming in right now at 164… (down 8 lbs, in 5 weeks)… I don’t think they are going to match me against 110 lb 19 year old (and yeah… I turn 35 on Monday, I am not happy to be the oldest allowed in my class, I would rather be the youngest old person, rather than the oldest young person in this particular situation). But, they can’t (or dear god, please, they won’t) put me against the 18-35 middle weight men either… I would get destroyed… But I know in some other tourneys, some of our students have found themselves in interesting classes… that they didn’t necessarily belong.
Is there a better strategy, one that keeps me lifting heavy… I really think I should just let it go, for the moment… so ideas?
Hey hardway I’ve been doing 1 heavy lift a week for over a month and it’s working out well for me personally - it might work out for you too. I’d worry more about my conditioning/technique than anything else going into that tourney…I wouldn’t stress on cutting weight either. I’d work the fundamentals/technique and let lifting take a back seat, at this point it can’t help you. Just how I would personally approach it, I’d like to hear how you do!
I got 4th in both form and weapon (I should have had 2nd, or at least third in the weapon, but I had 2 mistakes, that were obvious). It really sucks, because it was obvious that everyone I competed against, had years of experience on me… Hell, I was in beginners and the other weapons I faced were spear, double sword, and f’in Shaolin chain… those are not beginners weapons… I used staff… you know a big beating stick, nothing else… I was .1 out of third… and there were these mean girls, after it was all said and done I went to congratualte the winner… I was telling her i really liked her form, went to shake her hand, she turned and walked away… Make my words bobbi, I am going to get those mean girls… I promise you…
I didn’t end up sparring, I couldn’t afford the gear, and the rules are really stupid, a lot of how I usually spar is not allowed in the touneys, and since I had never seen tournament sparring, I needed to watch it before I competed… but, yeah next one July 30th… I’m beating the shit out of “mean girls”…
you Ok, you haven’t been on since I last bothered you?
Bobbi…where’d you go???
Hey Hardway sorry those girls were beeches you’ll beat their ass next time.lol
I’m not dead and I haven’t quit lifting I just haven’t had interwebz for a while. I move to Cali in August and have started a new BBing/Strength split. Woot!
Shoulders and biceps http://bobbiskai.blogspot.com/2010/07/fall10bb1-3.html
'sup, Bobbi! august is right around the corner. hope you love it out here!
After my chest workout and some weighted declines I banged out 150 strait situps today. That was pretty neat.
150 - you’re warrior material Bobbi. damn.
That is quite beastly. I know that my stomach will be killing me that night.
It was all hip flexors on the situps. I had some left in the tank. Can’t decide how I want to make them harder for tomorrow. Here’s the latest few workouts… http://bobbiskai.blogspot.com/2010/07/fall10bb2-1.html
I’m still a good bit below my L!MELIGHT maxes but I’m hoping this progression will help me pop through those soon. I’m trying to get back up to 135 again and this time I’m not doing it clean. Screw clean. I want to thicken up!
http://bobbiskai.blogspot.com/2010/07/fall10bb2-2.html
Back, abs, forearms and 133 deja…
Lol! Still effing killing it I see. 80 on the Kroc rows and 25 on the decline situps is good stuff.
So you’re back to “lifting heavy”? no more BB’ing?
M: I’m still trying to figure out what exactly I want to do with myself. I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching lately and haven’t found the answer yet.

Better to actively search for a good answer then drift along. Are you in CA yet?
