Oooh, abductors and external rotators…think banded squats, clam walks, and clamshells (channel your inner Fonda). And yes to high(ish) reps. I aim for the 12-15 range.

Ah, band walks. I’m pretty good at those, we do them in bootcamp all the time. You think I need more? I can throw something like that into my warm ups.

right on. Those push ups are harrrrd.

sorry your schedule is all jacked now. So whats the plan? [/quote]

Oh man, I have no idea. I think it’s going to be a matter of 5am cardio then Lunch lifting. It’s doable, but I need to make sure I’m still an intelligent person at 9pm. Class ends at 9, and when I’m tired I turn into a retard. I’ll sit down and figure it out over the weekend. I dropped wends am yoga, so that maybe enough, if I just tighten up my schedule. If I can get 8 hours of sleep on tuesday I can deal with 6 the rest of the week.

[quote] have you ever tried to experiment eliminating dairy just to see?

I’ve always wanted to try but I’m not sure why. I guess because ‘milk is for babies.’ (said in Arnold accent)
And I read all the time about how peeps cut dairy when they are trying to lean out. [/quote]

Oh, I have, and I do loose weight, but it’s because I starve. A lot of my calories come from cheese. There are plenty of things I only eat because they have cheese on them. No dairy makes me a vegan that eats eggs, just too hard. I need to drop the carbs (granola, figs, banana) and probably get some other sort of creamer than milk. The dropping of the coffee milk is usually something I do when I’m in it. I’ll see if almond is just as good in coffee.

You have a point there. More vegetable! I threw all that into my bag though and ate it all day. I think veges are hard to do that with other than the celery. I do need to start eating insane amounts of broccoli again, maybe it’ll kill the constant hunger.

Awe, thanks. I had to take like a thousand pictures before I got on that was even a little shmexy. I’ve got a very forgiving frame.

[quote]Everybody here is realllly making me wish I had more curves. Gotta grow da butt out.

Though I’ll never match you in the boob department. MAYBE 30lbs of you is just BOOB. So in that case, it’s like you weigh 140. PERFECT. [/quote]

Lol, I like the way you think!

carrots, cucumber, baby tomatos, cauli/brocc(chopped up)

Baby carrots I do for sure, sometimes the bag of celery is a bag of carrots. Is there any real difference between cucumber and celery? Aren’t both mostly water?

I was under the impression that tomato were mostly sugar, is fruit no?

Broccoli, due to the thyroid thing I only eat cooked, but I should have some more for sure. i need to go to the grocery store. I asked my mom to make a trip for me, hence the granola, but she has a lot of trouble sticking to the list. I now have a bunch of candy!

105

Not sure…cucumber just a different flavor from celery. Tomato are low in cals/carboh ya, I forgot about the raw factor of brocc/cauli.

This part here, that I’m pointing to (but on both sides) is what gets sore from running. It’s not a pain sore, it’s a DOMS sore. WTF? It’s not even a part of my legs. Am I running wrong? Normal? Why would my weird ab oblique part hurt?

Also note - shameless blue belt attention whoring!

Kale :frowning: Maybe I’ll try the chips you’ve posted before but overall, I don’t think I could just eat it.

Good to know about tomato, will remember.

I will pretend you both said it at the same time, in harmony.

Feel better?

First off… LOVE LOVE the pic!

Sounds as if it is your obliques. They help stabilize you while running. Especially as you say, more doms than a pull or a stitch.

& lastly… LOVE LOVE the pic!

109

When you run, do you have a “quiet” upper body that doesn’t bounce or twist? Or, do you have rotation of your torso when you run? And do your arms cross in front of you when you run or do they move more front to back?

I don’t think we see the same things when we look at pictures. I’m glad you like it though.

So that means I can count running as ab work? I’m not surprised they’re weak, I don’t do any direct ab work other than reverse crunches once a week.

Is this a boob joke?

My arms cross, well not cross, but they come in front of me. I tried running with them down by my sides loose, but that felt weird. When I brought it up in my last log, I got the general idea that I was over thinking and to just let arms do what arms do. Is crossing a bad thing? Should I try not to do that?

111

No, this is not a boob joke, silly.

I was wondering if you have a tendency to twist or rotate your upper body when you run. This might explain the oblique DOMs.

112

Listen Sugar, ain’t nothin wrong w/actually having a figure. We’re all way to self critical of ourselves. It ain’t healthy. I’m also trying my hardest to use verbiage that I’m not used to using. If this were a Pm…

I don’t know if I would go as far as saying it’s direct ab work. But the pain you’re exp. sounds as if the obliques got some work in.

I guess I do, and so that does explain the DOMS. So is it something I shouldn’t do?

An efficient runner has very little up and down movement (you don’t see the top of their head bobbing up and down) or rotational. These movements are leaks for energy that could be used to move forward.

x 2 on the traps shoulders compliment. I think that might be a factor in lovely collar bones, having traps. Hmmm

Patch, it does sound like your upper body is very active when you run. If the DOMSy feeling eventually goes away, and you are OK with your speed v. effort, then there probably isn’t alot of reason to change it up. Indeed, git is right and “good running form” would dictate as follows:

"The problem: Some runners swing their arms side-to-side, which makes you more likely to slouch and not breathe as efficiently. Some beginners have a tendency to hold their hands way up by their chest, especially as they get tired. You’ll actually get more tired by holding your arms that way and you’ll start to feel tightness and tension in your shoulders and neck.

The solution: Try to keep your hands at waist level, right about where they might lightly brush your hip. Your arms should be at a 90 degree angle, with your elbows at your sides. You should rotate your arms at the shoulder (not at the elbow), so they’re swinging back and forth.

Imagine a vertical line splitting your body in half – your hands should not cross it. Keep your posture straight and erect. Your head should be up, your back straight, and shoulders level. When you’re tired at the end of your run, it’s common to slump over a little, which can lead to neck, shoulder, and lower-back pain. When you feel yourself slouching, poke your chest out."
