Damnit! I forgot the video again!
I have got to get that this week.
So Friday I fell asleep and never made to the gym, yesterday I was out all day, so today I mixed in spinning/Fridat DL day/Monday Bench day, as I have a 3 am day tomorrow and appointments in the afternoon…it’s tough being busy and working

Please tell me that you did not do the spin class before deadlifts? lol
It is tough juggling real life and gym time but I don’t know too many people that are as dedicated as you being at the gym at 4am either.
Yikes! 3am tomorrow? Good luck with that; you will need it.[/quote]
Well… I only did half the class so I could save my blood sugar for deadlifts… it didn’t really work and I had to stop and eat some fruit and take some glucose shots but yeah that was the way I did it.
If it wasn’t for the low blood sugar it really isn’t bad at all. Yeah I have an early day tomorrow, I should be asleep probably… eep!
Seated Leg Press 1x10x90, 1x10x180, 1x8x270, 2x6x360, 1x5x450, 1x3x450… my knees were rejecting the 450 amount at this time…
Barbell Curls 2x8x50, 2x6x60
DB curls 2x6x30
Single Leg Split Squat 2x8x80
SO I talked to my doctor yester day and he said I was a good canidate for an insulin pump, yay! He gave me a bunch of brochures to choose which one I would like and signed me up for an “Intro to Pump” class, so yeah I’m excited
I had all kinds of questions about how this would affect me going to the gym. He laughed and said that he never had a patient like me who was so worried about the gym and gaining muscle, lol
I think I mentioned before that I have been doing this days work out out of order but today I figured I start doing it the right way. By that I mean 5x5, 3x8, 3x12…
One Arm DB Rows 1x5x45, 5x5x50
Upright Row 3x8x50
HS Lat Pull Downs 1x10x95, 4x6x140
Was supposed to be 3x8 but for some reason that wasn’t happening today…
Corner BB Press/Lumberjack Press/or whatever you want to call it 3x8x25
and I have a video
The reason I do this instead of traditional shoulder presses is because I shoulders don’t react well to any kind of direct shoulder work. So far though I have not had any problems with this one, as long as I am warmed up beforehand.
My big question with this “lift” is am I doing it right? Should the bar be more infront of my shoulder then off to the side?
That actually was hard by the last set. I will agree that I could go up in weight but I will be doing less reps… I’ll do it though…
Your such a slave driver Joe! And you Ms. MD, your not helping!
I enede up getting really distracted while I was DLing because this skinny kid decided he was going to bench 225. He did do it but none of us though he was going to make it. We all just stopped to wait for him to drop it on himself. He did manage it, completely bad form and it was only half of an actualy bench press, but he survived. Then he got mad at a guy who offered to spot him…
So this is just an extra post…
Alot of my RL friends talk about how difficult it is to diet or to stick to a meal plan and really I have no mercy on them.
It does take some displine but if you just plan ahead it is managable. For example, my meals for lunch for the next week preplanned, packaged, and ready to go. I don’t want to hear that dieting is too hard because this is easy…
BB Bench Press 1x10x45, 1x10x65, 2x5x95, 3x4x115, 1x1x125
I am really wanting to try 135 but when I am benching there is no one else around to ask for a spot… Ahh well, maybe I can try 130 w/o a spot and eventually get up to 135 w/o having to ask anyone… is self reliant
T bar rows 1x8x45, 1x8x55, 1x8x60
I need to go up in weight on this exercise, I am too comfortable where I am…
HS Iso Row 1x8x270, 2x8x290
HS High Row 1x8x140, 2x8x160
Inclined DB Bench Press 3x10x35
I tired a different incline this morning and my shoulder was having none of that so I stayed w/ what was working for me.
NG DB Bench Press 3x6x40
Supposed to be 3x8 but I just couldn’t manage the last 2… I guess today kinda sucked as far as work outs go…

What’s an RL friend?
I thought I was the only anal retentieve lunch packer. I do the same thing Sunday mornings and pack for the week. I’ve been eating the same thing for years. My friends make fun of me but it really does save mental energy having to think of something new every day.
I’m impressed with your DL reps. That’s a lot of volume.

RL = Real Life friends
I have been living in the internet world with people I only know from the internet for awhile now, I forget not everyone has separate groups. Though I have been lucky enough to meet almost all of my friends from online
I think I have been eating the same thing for about 2 years now. Most people do think it is kinda weird but I don’t care. I think it saves money too.

That’s better than my imaginary friends. Especially since they won’t hang out with me any more.
I changed my workout up a little today out of bordom and feeling like I couldn’t get my back streched out enough for SLDL this morning so I did GMs instead… I haven’t done those in awhile.
Goodmorning 1x12x45, 1x10x65, 2x10x85
Seated Leg press 1x12x95, 1x12x180, 1x10x270, 2x6x360, 4x6x450
Hack Squat Machine 3x5x95, 2x5x140
Barbell curls 1x8x40, 1x8x50, 3x6x60
DB CUrls 1x6x30
Single Leg split squats 3x8x40
these were hard today…

os- at least you have imaginary friends!
Ronda- do you think your body is adjusted to the early morning workouts yet? I still dont know how you do it![/quote]
Well yes and no. I have been able to stay at the same weight in alot of exercises and move up a little but I dod thik that if I was going later in the day I would move up faster. My biggest problem is being streached out enough to fully get the benefit from alot of the movements I do. I do waht I can to strech and warm up but I think some of it jsut comes w/ being awake longer befoer I go to the gym. I’m there w/in 20 mins of rolling out of bed… and I think I’m getting old
Corner BB shoulder Press 1x8x30, 1x7x30, 1x6x30
People said I could lift more on this exercise after seeing the video and they were right, I can’t lift it that much but I can lift it.
Cable Rows 1x12x60, 3x10x80
Back extentions 1x10, 2x10x35
This will be my last post for this week. I will be leaving tomorrow for the beach in RI and will be gone all weekend
I have to admit that I am kinda bummed about not DLing this week though…
