I wear the Merrell Pace Gloves to school, Vibrams to the gym. I think my bright pink Vibrams would scare the shit out of our headmistress, whereas the Pace Gloves looks sorta normal.
Glad you had fun. Wish I could play with guns but, well, illegal over here. It was always hard to get a handgun license in the UK - you had to be a member of a gun club and so forth - but then a guy shot up a school in Scotland and killed a bunch of kids and they were banned outright. Interesting bit of trivia is that the school (Dunblaine) was the one Andy Murray (tennis player) went to and he was there at the time. I don’t think he’s ever talked about it in interviews, though.
Anyway, nice bun indeed, and good luck with those push-ups. I find it best to do them with shoulder-width hand spacing to avoid shoulder stress. Doing a lot of them can also be hard on the wrists so I often just grab a pair of dumbells to use as push-up handles.[/quote]
I’m always surprised at how lax the gun laws are here. Especially out here in the middle of no where. No one really cares.
Yeah wrists are why I liked doing them on the smith machine, but the bench isn’t so bad. Once I progress to the ground I’ll be using the DBs for sure!
The shoe thing sounds fun. Take some pics when you’ve done yours.
I’m not sure I’d like that Waterbury workout - but then I’m not aiming for the type of body the article mentions. I want to look a lot more beastly. Anyway, good luck with it.
The fibre stuff/rep experiment is pretty interesting. I am fast twitch according to that - or perhaps I’m just lazy?

Ooof, I have such a huge problem with Waterbury. He brags about training Heidi Montag, who looks like a bag of bones with fake boobs, and he claims the difference between 17 year old Brittany and 26 year old Brittany is too many crunches. I’d be more impressed if he took today’s Brittany and reversed her look.
I do the uber glamorous double loop ponytail bun. Oh yeah, the shmexy. LOL.
RESOLUTIONERS are retarded and deserve any injury the sustain. Some FOOL OF A TOOK walked right up to the squat rack to fetch a 5lb weight and like leaned over with his head IN THE RACK while I had my max loaded on my back. FOOOOOOOOLZ.

I’ll probably do it around Valentines Day, in red. Red glitter!
Yeah, I know a lot of PW ladies feel that way, I really want an hour glass though, and a month isn’t really going to make a big difference to anything. It’s an experiment.

Your training still looks good to me.

Yeah people seem to hate CW. I don’t really pay attention to that; I do know enough not to blindly follow. I’m not basing my choice on the pictures of celebrities, I didn’t even closely read that part. I’ve thought about the program, I know what muscle groups it works and how that translates into what I want to work on. I ask a lot of questions and may seem like I don’t know what I’m doing at times, but I do have a good knowledge base. I’ve just found that when you ask questions with no assumptions you get better answers. Regardless, like I said to Cal, a month of anything isn’t going to hurt.
That’s a lot like the whole “I don’t mean to offend but …”
IMHO the main difference between the two Brittany shots was posture. She’s obviously sucking in for the whole sexy pose thing and puffing up with pride a bit more for strong. FWIW.
Friday shit just clicked! Woo! I got up for bootcamp and wasn’t tired when I woke up, and I felt awesome during bootcamp. We did a few random circuits. I need to figure out what to do with my arms while running. Some people seem to be rigid and some let them flail, and now that I’ve started to notice I have no idea what to do.
PM: I just wanted to feel out the CW stuff, make sure I understood all the movements. Turns out I don’t actually know how a Romanian deadlift works. I kept just deadlifting, or doing some sort of rack pull without a rack. Is that just what a Romain DL is? The top part of a deadlift? I’ll look it up before I have to actually do it.
Then I tried a few rounds of the Day 1 circuit. Oh wow, it’s going to suck in a fun way. I only did two rounds but walked out thoroughly exhausted.
Here’s an article on the RDL. It’s definitely not a deadlift in the traditional sense of the word.
If you swing the KB with your eyes closed you won’t know how close they are to you and if they get hit…well, it’s not your fault because you didn’t see them.

Ha ha, I actually decided to do more with my hair because of the first squat vid I posted. What I thought was an adorable messy bun, looked like a small animal nest in reality
Arms: keep elbows bent at roughly 90 degrees, hands loose (loose fists is OK) and arms relaxed. They’ll take care of themselves.
If you’re sprinting, you can pump your arms but for longer distances, relaxed is best.
RDLs…you’ve never done?! ohh, one of the best things for nice hammies…I think you’ll be happy once you get the hang of em.
Stand with your butt towards a wall…now shoot your hips back, knees soft/slight bend and touch your butt to the wall as you bend down to shin level…as you come back up, ‘bring your hips,’ forward. It’s a hinge movement more or less.
RDLs: as I was taught ‘the muscle being stretched the most is the one being worked’ soooooo feel that killer stretch dooooown in the mastrings. When I do these right (low enough which i have mastered now) they are one of the things I can actually get posterior chain (hammies and glutes) soreness from. Sore ass FTMFW! Erik always said a sore ass was to be celebrated LOL
