PP - you get your own answer box cause you ask to many questions and I might need to make you disappear
1- concerning calcium you are way ahead of the pack with your resistance training. This alone is the one thing known to increase bone density, and I have had the scans to prove it. You can find a list of calcium-rich foods off the net and make sure you incorperate them in your daily meals. If you find you have trouble eating enough you could use supplements. Keep the pop for a treat on the weekends rather than everyday. Think of it as chewing on your bones everytime you open one.
2- Regarding my job: I’m a sales representative for a distributor in health and sports supplements. The company I work for is basically the canadian distributor for big companies such as Gaspari, Supreme Bars, Scivation (Xtend), USPlabs (Jack3D) and many other brands. As the Quebec rep I travel the province meeting with my store owners to take orders, bring in new product, plan advertisement and store promos.
We have a trade catalogue/price list that comes out every 2 months in which I am encouraged to participate as a writer. As far as designing goes sometimes I need to be creative for a customer who wants a poster with his buy-in for a brand that has no promo material so I’ll actually put something together for them. My job kinda needs me to be a jack of all trades.
3- regarding my home - big thanks! I mentionned it before but the husband and I got really lucky buying this condo. It’s only 800 square feet but very beautifullly done. The furniture we bought with the monies from our wedding gifts at inexpensive places like Ikea. There are 2 pieces which are imported from India that we bought 2nd hand and love.[/quote]
Awww - My own box! Thanks Frenchie. Feeling the log lovin’. Your job sounds like you have a lot of flexibility to learn different things. You write well. Glad you get chance to use that. Condo is soo pretty.
Great boots and pants! I could never wear boots like that - I am a pussy when it comes to heels. They hurt my feet too much. I have a few pairs that have been gathering dust because every time I put them on, I regret it 5 minutes later when I realise I can’t walk without grimacing.
Boots are super sexay. I wish I could get away with a pair of boots like that.
Congratulations on that deadlift PR. Pulling your best for 5 is fucking epic. Looks like all your hard work is really paying off.
Oh and, I did end up making spaghetti squash because of that pic you posted. We ended up having it with shrimp and a “sauce” made with diced tomatoes and sauteed onions and garlic. It was gone in minutes.
OMG…how did I miss The Boots on the first pass through here the other day??? I must have been tired, no way would I have missed those awesome dominatrix boots and leather pants.
plenty of retard frog stretches since butt and legs were still a little toasty from the last workout.
around 2 dozen wall squats. Good news is now I am learning to keep my balance going up whereas before I couldn’t so this is kind of a PR +4 reps. Knees still wobly. Tried to bring in my feet a little as suggested by Bear regarding my ankles.
beginning with side view and still clumsy on the standing up part
ending my session with a more stable footing:
sorry in advance for the heavy breathing and major wedgie action.
THe progress you’re making on your wall squats is really great. I just went back and watched your wall squats on p 26 … and the improvement is substantial.
warmup at home with frog stretches and wall squats.
Squats:
warm up bar 2x5.
115x5
130x5
150x5 - not all of them were at depth. Need to work on that.
135x5
115 5x5
Total: 55 squats.
Prowler in the beautiful spring sunshine. My very first time pushing it! The first 50 feet I’m thinking, “this is a breeze” and then I had to bring it back. My legs were screaming and my lungs were on fire…Good times
75lbs + 2 x 45lbs = 165 pushed over 100 feet x 3.
Prowler without weight pushed 200 feet.
I have a feeling this is the begining of a beautiful love/hate relationship. Should boost my squats to 900lbs right? lolz…
wow Mainy! you really are making progress! Good stuff. Those wall squats still look really hard to me. I need to get on that bandwagon though - i could use the flexibility myself, esp since I have the tendency to fall forward.
And yeah, that was the perrrrrfect view! Nomnom.
Super jealous on the prowler pushing! Sounds like so much fun and totally killer. Let love/hate relationship commence!
Boots…so very, very lovely. Girl after my own heart
Wall squats are looking much better! Mine still suck…not shocking because I haven’t worked my ass off on them like you have. I need to warm up with wall squats BEFORE leaving for the gym, just like Frenchy does.
