Skye Log #2

Thanks,guys. More single leg work, check. Ironically, I managed to dislocate my left fibula yesterday getting on the table to get adjusted. Luckily, my chiro is a genius with extremity stuff. I hope I can DL tomorrow. Lots of ice and foam rolling for now.

Molly- thank you. I’ll definately be adding stuff. Left leg usually is the one I have knee cave with when I squat. I need to give it just a bit more TLC, from now on.

Raychelle- Hi!! Yes, you get to eat anything from all food groups and as Molly pointed out, you can modify to suit your goals like eat more nuts and veggies and decrease carbs if you’re going for fat loss. Right now, I’m just having fun with it…had a Greek platter last night; Greek salad, gyro(which I couldn’t finish), fries and some slouvaki…and an coconut milk ice-cream sandwich for dessert. Baby abs still there this morning…
Can you imagine I’m behind on Glee?! I’ve been too ridiculously busy with exams and both jobs to breathe. I’ll catch up this weekend…

Claire- you said it…it may not work for everyone. As a matter of fact, I think Tate’s been doing it, if I read his blog correctly.

T- missed you, too! :smiley:

Nlmain- that’s really the basic principle of it…the book goes into more detail about certain foods. I’m about to burn all my Ziploc containers…

A dislocation yesterday and DLing tomorrow? Hmmm.

Oh boy, hope that dislocation doesn’t caust too many problems. Take it easy and listen to your body if you try DLing.

And catch up on Glee already so we can gush about how awesome it is. :stuck_out_tongue:

no better place to dislocate something, I suppose!

Take care.

psst- is the cover of your warrior diet book yellow or white? Im assuming yellow, since it’s more recent? There’s another interesting book of his called maximum muscle minimum fat…

yay for book shopping!!

see, i’m with the bear, i’m an effing psycho when I’m hungry and my days are LONG (5hrs of sleep). so i’m afraid this might not work for me. but i’m excited to try it - i like carbs…

Hi Skye!!

MIM- it’s yellow… I saw that on his website but I’ll be buying it in the near future…

Kp- I won’t do anything beyond what’s good for me, I promise.

Raychelle- I promise I’ll be caught up by the end of the weekend. Problem is the French Open is going on…

Masch- Hi! It never hurts to try…

Skye - lovely workout! Damn Ab wheel rollouts. My poor little weak-excuse-for-abs just flop when I do those! You must be a rockstar to do them in a circuit!

Nlmain- nope, same thing.

Cal- thanks. Still keeping my fingers crossed and trying not to do anything foolish. I’m itching to run or at least walk on an incline…

Raychelle- thank you. I promise, I’m watching Glee right now.

Molly- I learnt a trick; arch your back slightly when you do them. No, I’m no rockstar…my abs are screaming bloody murder today ;D

Skye, thanks for the hot tip on ab wheel rollouts. If I can get 1 x 10 on those, I’m happy, much less 4 sets!

Great training Skye! Lots of HARD work in there. And yeah, that ab circuit gulp, sounds…er…fun.

ps. just bought warrior book! happy dance

sorry about your dislocation! careful!
I’m going to have to look up this so called “warrior” diet. hmmmm
nice ab wheel, If I do sets of 10, I usually can’t do more than 3 sets. that shiet killz meh!

happy memorial day :slight_smile:

155 x 8-PR!!! I called one of my classmates over to spot me, just in case. I really didn’t need one but it really gave me a boost, confidence-wise.

Current short-term goal is to box squat 180lbs before I do another cycle of pause squats. I figure if I put it out there, I’ll be accountable.

155 for 8?? You have 180 now!

PR power! good work Skye. That 180 is just waiting for ya girl!
