Pagangoddess's Training Log: Advancement to an Elder Goddess

[DJJ]

Seems like you really enjoy the new workout. You sound way more motivated It's more difficult to see you progress now though.

The bear looked quite interesting, something to remember.
Reverse dips can be very cool. If you can get some one to help out, you can have them stack plates on your lap to add weight.

A lady in the gym asked hubby to stack some plates for her. She asked for 2 45lbs plates. Hubby didn't give a second thought as to where his hands were at as he was putting them on her lap. The weight of the plates pushed his hand right between her legs.

I told him to watch out. Pretty soon all the ladies will be asking for him to stack plates.

Yay yay cardio! Go PG!

I've got to do something. Hubby snapped a picture of me while I was drinking my coffee this morning sitting on the couch. Just when I was starting to feel better. Damn! I could smack him for taking the shot. Now I know why I'm always the one taking the pictures.

Oh well. I just need to keep doing what I'm doing and not let it mess with my head.

I do enjoy the workout. Still just as challenging but a in a different way.

It is more difficult to see progress because fat loss isn't as evident as lifting higher weights each workout. It's going to be a long process. I've got to dig my heels in for the long term.

He was horribly embarrassed by it and apologized to her. It was not intentional. But I had to give him shit. What kind of wife would I be if I didn't laugh at his expense.

Hubby isn't as bad as I am. But it's one of those things he loves about me.

I got up to 6 plates on my lap before I had to find a different exercise. Having all that weight pressed up against my stomach and chest made it difficult.

[pagangoddess]

That's a shit load of plates! Wow.

[rbtrout]

The funny thing was, that the two guys I worked out with (still good friends), that one of them, any time I out did him in a lift, we stopped doing it. He could do 6 plates on his lap, but could only get 5-6 reps, I was getting 2-3 sets of 10.

Some people get too competitve. Speaking of which how did Basketball go last night?

[rbtrout]

Fun, but tough. After doing heavy deads yesterday morning, I had no legs last night. The best thing I do is set picks. I got on a team with a guy that's 6'8" and about 300 pounds. Between the two of us, we set some hellatious picks. My problem is I don't sleep well after playing bball in the evenings, my muscles are to tight. I'm debating whehter or not to keep playing.

[pagangoddess]

I'm glad you had fun. Is there a way to rearrange your workout schedule to accomodate the basketball? I know you love cardio as much as I do. So if the opportunity comes along to find something you enjoy I'd say do what can to continue. The weights will be there when you finish the season.

ETA: Although I understand the sleep issue. I've been having problems sleeping also. Makes it difficult to get through the day.

[rbtrout]

I'm thinking about that, as well. I could have DE leg day on Monday and (as I call it) bench assistance day on Tuesdays (what I already do) and then both ME days on Thursday and Friday. I'll see. I don't really want to not play, I enjoy it too much. I just have to make up my mind.

Don't get down on yourself PG. You've only just begun your new workout with your new focus. With the will power you showed in your strength training endeavors, you are sure to be a rousing success at this one.

Thanks LTL. The vote of confidence is needed about right now.
