Yeah, I know! I usually do pee after. Just those couple of times I didn’t…le sigh…LOL
I used to get cystitis all the bloody time, and it’s miserable. I actually stopped getting cystitis when I stopped wearing underwear. True story.
I believe it’s referred to as “honeymoon cystitis.” Funny name.
Great progress on your lifts. Regarding the squats, I thought they looked pretty good overall. A few were shallow, though. But I’m considered a squat snob. The federation I lift with requires that the hip crease be lower than the top of the knee. So I always judge based on that.

busting balls.
POKE
Oh, leave me alone, CBear.
BTW, I notice that you never leave me a cupcake in my log. You definitely have your favorites.
I forgot to post yesterday’s training!
Bench: 5 x bar, 3 sets of 5 x 65. These were shitty. I was fighting to raise the bar on the third rep of each set.
Incline DB Press: 2 sets of 10 x 15.
Flys: 10 x 55, 2 sets of 5 x 70. Strangely enough, the 70lbs felt easier than the 65 lb bench. I probably could have done a couple of more reps.
Deadlift Day!
Deadlift: 5 x 75, 5 x 85, 3 x 95. I have a vid of the 95lbs which I will post later. I need to get a higher stool to set my camera on so I can really see the whole lift.
Wide Grip Pulldowns: 10 x 80, 5 x 90.
DB OHP: 3 sets of 10 x 12.5.
DB Triceps: 2 sets of 4 x 10. IH is going to change this exercise next time I do them.
Cable Crunches: 15 x 50.
So, I’ve been doing the program IH set up for me for little over a month. I’ve made some good gains, IMO, lost an inch on my waist, and am starting to see some upper abs. I asked him if I should change some stuff up, but keep the three main lifts (bench, squat, deadlift). Do any of you lady experts have any additional ideas of alternate exercises I can do? This is my current program:
Day 1: Bench, Incline Press, Flys, Curls.
Day 2: Deadlifts/Rackpulls, Wide Grip Pulldowns, OHP, Triceps.
Day 3: Squats, Lunges, Leg Curls/Extensions, Calf Raises.
Day 4: Cardio, mobility work.
**Abs are thrown in almost every day, time permitting.
EDIT: I was also thinking of maybe doing one of the workouts in the Cosgrove book, Lift LIke a Man, Look Like a Goddess.
you really can’t go wrong with keeping it simple like that, but I understand the need for some variety! Do you have that book?
I say go for it!
Here is the DL vid from the other day…
This picture shows that I’m getting that awesome center back line. Still have some side rolls I need to get rid of, but they’re getting smaller!
Awesome work on the DLs.
The back line is hawt. It’s a good look on you, keep it up
I love when I tune in and see half naked Greenie Such a treat!
Yup, that back line there is fabulous! That’s muscle baby - and hooray for diminishing rolls - great job!
DL looked good - lucky you, you get to use bumper plates.
Agreed with MiM - keeping it simple is a great. I would def do some Back Extensions (Hypers) on deadlift day, great for the posterior chain. And pushups! Those will do you wonders and there are so many variations that you can never get bored and you can always make them harder and harder.
Great work Greenie!
what did Mr Man have to say about those DLs? Is he always with you during training?
From the angle it seemed as if you were pulling up a tad instead of pulling back. Does that make sense?
maybe next time get a vid from the side?
your doing awesome!!
Masch: Thanx! Yeah, they have all these plates that the Olympic lifters use so I use them. I think it would be weird using a 10 lb plate on a bar and DL-ing that. This way it’s more like I have a 45 on there with the size, but not with the weight.
Nikki: Thanx!
MiM: He said the same thing, that I was lifting more with my back instead of my legs, that I bring my butt up first instead of making it one smooth movement. It’s only my third time doing them, so I know I have a long way to go.
So, today is August 1, measurement day!
Waist: 35 (-2.0)
Hips: 42 (+2, but I think the last time was measured too high)
Bust: 40 (-1)
Under Bust (ribcage): 36 (no change)
Weight: 172 with clothes. I’m not sure how accurate this is though, since it was on IH’s parents’ scale.
I’m copying AttyDeb’s way of showing gains/losses because I like it and it’s logical.
Congrats on the losses Green!
Nice losses! Yeah, I measure my hips around the greater trochanter - that way I always get it at the same point.
I say that hip measurement is wrong…usually if I’ve lost some around the belly, I’ve lost some on the butt…
great progress!!!
great progress greenie and nice back cleavage too
