That's kinda creepy with the UPS lady. If there was a parcel service employee stalking me, I would be very nervous; afterall, they know where you live. :eek:

LOL not only that but she knows what I drive, and she notices me on the road. You can run but the big brown truck will follow:lol:
 
lol, I'd be scared if my UPS delivery person was stalking me...he's got a handle bar mustache!
 
note to all, if crader stops posting...call UPS!
 
Back day
Having some left side sciatic nerve issues but hit it anyway.
We started with 45lb single armed dead lifts rotating sides at 10 per arm and supersetted it with 15 pop squats for 4 sets.

We then hit bent over barbell rows for 15 reps supersetted with 15 crunches for 4 sets.

Then we did 70lb pulldowns to the chest for 15 reps supersetted with single arm bent over dumbell rows at 6 per side for 4 sets.

We then hit the cable machine and hit single armed pulldowns with it for 15 per side and did 20 dragon flags with it for 4 sets.

Did a few other things and then I hit 20 min of cardio. Back is still screaming at me so I'm hoping to be able to roll out of bed still in the AM!
 
Arm day

We started with an exercise where we wer in push up position and we had a mat in front of us and we had to use our arms to side walk to each side of the mat and cross it for 20 times and at the end we did 6 tricep pushups. We did 4 sets.

Then we did tricep pulldowns with our back to the pad for 15 reps and supersetted it with 6 walkouts into a tricep push up. We did 4 of these sets.

Then we did overhead tricep extensions for 15 supersetted with 6 more walkouts for 4 sets.

Then we moved to the incline bench and layed belly down and did 10 tricep dumbell kickbacks and 10 pronated bicep curls. We did 4 sets.

Then we did reverse grip reversed bicep curls and at the top we twisted the dumbells and did a slow curl back down as slowly as we could go for 15 reps. These gave me a nice bicep pump. 4 sets.

Then we did hammer curls for 15 reps and 4 sets.

Then we finished off with a few extra bicep moves and I headed off to cardio land.

Did 16 min of incline cardio with interval runs at a 15 incline , 4.6 speed and then a steady 3.0.

This was a nice session, I'm using Neovar and HypX before workout with an ephedra thrown in for fat burning. My energy has been awesome during cardio.
 
Your triceps must hate your trainer right now. 4 tricep movements in a row, ouch!

btw, I actually posted a guy in my log and you didn't say anything :)

LOL I have not been home today so I have to hit your log still ;)

Yeah I was struggling with the tricep push ups we supersetted everything with. She loves to wear us down, my triceps were smoked but oddly I feel like she did not have me do enough for biceps. I might hit them on my own again Sunday. I want to get cardio in at least once over the weekend.
 
Sounds like "Nat" is turning up the intensity on you now! Does she make-up (invent) some of these exercises? I've never even heard of some of 'em!! ha ha But as long as they work.....that's all that really matters. Keep blastin' away and make us all proud at the "O"!! :thumbsup: Oh yeah....how about some pics before you go??!! PLEASE!! :box:

No she trains with Mike Davies and what we do is the workouts he trains her for her shows. She may mix it up a tiny bit to accomadte peoples physical issues. But mainly we train as she does.

I'll definitly put some pics up before I go, it will be nice to have some of the work I'm putting in. She wants to dress me up for the Olympia in her so called hoochie outfits. But I'm not sure how I feel about that. I will dress to show off my muscle but I'm not sure if I want to look like that.;)
Since I will be working the booth I might go for a figure outfit?
 
Hoochie outfit like something a "hoochie" (i.e. slut/skank/low class prostitute) would wear, or like a figure competator outfit?

Like some of the girls that work the booths. She said she had a leather top with leather shorts or a velour one..lol. Something short and skimpy!:lol: Oh and she wanted stripper shoes with it!

LOL! I had a feeling the stripper shoes were coming.

Are you gonna be a "booth bunny"?

A low class hooker couldn't afford a figure competator suit. They also have to usually glue it on for the suit to fit right.

They also have to tape the meat curtains shut to stay in the skimpy panties.

She would like me to be, but I'm probably going to dress to show muscle but also be comfortable in who I am. Hell even she won't do photoshoots or work booths dressed like that. So I'm not sure why she wants me to do it!

maybe she's evil

maybe she thinks you're that kinda girl. :toofunny:

maybe she just wants go get rid of these "hoochie" outfits, since she never wears them.
 
I think she is uptight, jealous, and wants to live vicariously.
 
LOL no she just wants me in shorts. I am self conscious about my legs so I tend to wear jeans all summer. She might be going to the O so she wants someone to represent her training while she is there. So she wants me to be dressed to show the muscle and cuts for her. It helps her reputation out as a trainer to have serious people train under her.

What i wear depends solely on my diet and how lean I get before then. I'm going to the gym today to do 45min of cardio.

I am still cardio-less, but seeing some slow fat loss regardless, which makes me happy

AWESOME!!! I'm stuck so I think I have no choice but to do it. She would like me to be in competition shape by then with maybe 8-9% bf. I've added in ATD every 3 days , and I'm locking diet in. She would also like me to hit over 200g of protein every day now. I really want to suceed at this so I'm hoping it all comes together.
 
Which by the way, I've added Neovar back in daily to help with carbs. I'm so glad I can take this because AP killed me when I tried it.
 
You guys are hilarious. 8 or 9% damn i cant even hit 10% hahaha. Rock it out girl, you know what you need to do so lets do it! :bb3::head:
 
Got in 31 min of incline cardio. It kind of felt good to hit the gym on an off day and do some cardio. Its something I have to force myself to get done.
 
I'm going to try to work with Natalie a little for leg day. I want to gain some size, she is opposed to it. I told her all the high reps with 7 million lunges and some of the things she does makes me super sick. Even using a prescription anti-naseau drug. So she claims she will work with me some on legs.

We shall see!

Even when using a personal trainer, the final decision is still yours. If you want to gain muscle size....she should design a workout routine specifically for the goals you set. The customer (client) is always right!! :thumbsup:

I am also at that point in my life, haha.

Once the tennis season is over, I am going to focus on adding a good amount of size to my legs over the winter.
 
Well leg day went much better today.

We started with extensions, the first 15 reps were done with a back board on the seat at an angle so we got 1/2 reps in, then we slid the back board flat and hit 4 regular. We did 4 sets of these at 50lbs.

We then went to a single dumbell and did 15 deep lunges per side and then went to walking lunges as soon as we fininshed and lunged to the end of the gym. We did only 3 sets here.

Then we did 1 legged deadlifts at 15 per side for 4 sets.

Then we did these gay looking squats, we had to stradle the mat hold the dumbell up to our neck level and then squat all the way while straddling the mat still come back up and extend one leg back and tighten up. We did 30 of these for 4 sets. Felt like a gay looking ice skating move. But it did cause cramping in the leg you brought back.

Then she had me go to 80lb hamstring curls for 6 sets of 6 reps. These KILLED my knee. The pain was so bad that I over compensated with my lower back and seem to have really screwed it up.

Then I did 90lb calves at 5 sets of 10 reps. Then I did 3 sets of 100 broomstick twists with 10 leg lifts in between sets. But like I said the back was hurting so I tried to keep the volume down on these.
 
Crader---are you wearing a neoprene knee support or anything like that? I suggest that you do to support the knee and keep some heat in the area. You could put on some icy-hot 1 hour before your workout, then put on the wrap and have at it!! :thumbsup:

No but I need to go buy one. It is really hampering my training. I was on another site and they mentioned an inject that looked promising for joint pain. I might go research that.
 
I had a fun albeit painful shoulder day. Bear with me because I am super tired so I'm not remembering my whole routine! Yikes..

Our routine was all free weights this time. We started with side lateral raises for 15 reps supersetted with 20 quarter side pulses for 4 sets.

Then we did 15 reps per arm on forward raises for 4 sets.

Then we did a rotating raise where we started it dumbells in front and raised it rotating the dumbell halfway up to about ear height for 15 reps and 4 sets.

We also did 15 curls up and then straight up over our heads for 20 reps 4 sets.

Then we did the one that hurt and wore me out. We sat down and did bent over laterals for 15 reps and then sat up and did 10 barbells raises up to our chin in close to the body. We did 4 sets and I felt every single one of them :)

Then we did the cable machine with pulley up and a rope and did rope pulls to the forehead.

I also did 20 min of cardio at a 15 incline with a sprint run in middle uphill.

I also must say those gay looking squats we did yesterday really tore up my lower back. I'm falling apart..lol!!!
 
Chest day. I started with 10 min of warm up cardio! I made the mistake of telling her that I had lived on protein drinks all day and had no solid food so she decided that I should take advantage of the fat burning so I got seperated out during training and had to do more of everything to burn fat.

Started with chest press machine, outer handles for 15 reps and then I had to do 10 push ups with my feet on the bench and hands on the floor. We did 4 of these. Thats when I realized how weak I was from only protein drinks. I was pushed several times beyond failure.

Then we did pronated flyes on the bench for 15 reps supersetted with 100 core board shakes for 4 sets.

Then we did single arm presses at 10 per arm supersetted with 6 board shakes and 1 push up repeated in a row 6 times.
We did 4 sets.

Then we moved on to overhead dumbell extensions for 15 reps for 4 sets.

Then I did a triple set on the cables with 15 reps in a flye position with my hands together and did an extension type move, then immediatly went into 6 cable flyes and then she had me do pop push ups on the core board for 6 reps. We did 4 sets of these. By the 3 rd set my body was quitting and I was so ready for class to be done.

I drank a shake and then came back 45 min later to the gym and did 35 min of cardio and did it all incline until I hit 2 miles and did varying speeds to keep me amused.

I hate to have to say it but.......HA HA!! :lol: That'll "larn" ye!! I bet you won't make that mistake again!! Your training is really picking up pace here lately. Can't wait to see the end results. You won't regret all of work, effort, and pain that went into it when you're standing there in the booth at the "O" looking like you should be IN the "O"!! Great work crader!! Keep it going!! :thumbsup:
 
I had an awesome back workout today.

I started with 4 sets of 10 under the squat rack bar pull ups.

Then I hit single arm cable pulldowns she had me do 40lbs the first set and 30 for the last 3 sets. We sat half off the seat so the handle was facing out and we turned it in as we pulled it down so that our palm was facing our ear when we finished. Did 15 reps here supersetted with a 65lb single dumbell bent over row for 10 reps and 4 sets.

We then moved to a triple set. It started with 70lb low rows for 15 reps then went to 50lb behind the neck cable pulldowns for 6 reps and then did 10 pop squats. We hit 4 sets here.

Then we did 115lb deadlifts for 4 sets of 6 reps. I found the weight to be light and could have done 10 reps. However having scoliosis she choose for me not to. I'm having a hard time getting her to understand that although my form is different on some of the exercises, the harder I work my back the less it hurts.

I hit 1 mile of uphill cardio on the treadmill using interval sprints at a 15 incline.

I left that workout totally ready for more. I still had mass energy and wanted to keep going!!
 
We had arm day today. I'm so tired that I can't remember what we did.

I know we did the cable machine with a bar and used a reverse grip to do push downs. This was akward at first but I used 50 lbs and knocked it out. We did 15 of these supersetted with tricep kickbacks.

We did dips for 10 reps, tricep pushup on dumbells for 10 reps and a bunch of bicep work, single arm pronated curls, the curls where we start it as a regular curl at the top we do a full twist and then bring it back down normally. We did hammer curls and reverse grip thumb over the top forearm curls with a barbell. We did a ton of other things. I also hit 15 min of cardio.

I had a super strong easy workout. My strength was up as well as my endurance. On some of the sets she said 10 is good 15 reps is better, I knocked 15 out every time.

We had a new powerlifter train with us tonite. He ended up having asthma issues at the end..poor guy, she worked us fast today because she was grumpy. She gave us no rest between any sets for the whole 45 min. It was like a giant superset.

Sounding good my sistah! I recommend those reverse-grip triceps pushdowns to everyone. They hit the tri's in a whole different way than overhand pushdowns. FINISH STRONG WARRIOR WOMAN!!:head:
 
Looks like Crader is tearing it up!

Crader, Do you know what's wrong with your knee?

I got tendonitis in my knee and my knee wrap is a lifesaver!

Sorry I've been MIA...work has been killing me!

I'm not sure whats wrong with it. It seems to be worse anytime that I bend it up or do any curling motion, or bend down to pick things up.


I missed leg day so I'll be making it up sometime this week and training twice in a day. It was the kids meet the teacher night so they came first. Today was their first day back so hopefully I will not miss any more days.
 
I'm sure it's difficult to explain, but where does it hurt on your knee?

Well it hurts to actually squeeze the little circle bone at the bottom left of my knee. And when i'm trying to do curls it hurts so bad that it causes me to fail the exercise. It also hurts in the back of my knee when I just pick it up to step over things.
