Kat and Puccah's Strong is the new sexy log

So I have a dilemma that I want your guys opinion on...we will be moving to the new house Thursday-Saturday or however long it takes. Lol

Option 1
Train at home-would have to be primarily body weight training for now-until I can purchase some equipment. Full body workouts Monday and Wednesday then weights at the gym on Fridays bc I’m off.

Option 2
Still train am’s at the gym but would be limited to no more than 45 mins. Would have to be out of the gym headed home by 5:45 due to commute/getting kids to school. If I go this route thinking one main muscle group Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Friday.

I’m afraid if I try the after work thing, life will get in the way. I will have to go home straight after work in order to get the kids home. Then dinner/showers/homework etc. So that would leave me around 8:30-9 heading to the gym. Just don’t see it working well.

HELP!! ??*♀️

Kat, read what you wrote. “Life will get in the way.” The gym will always be there. You are moving into your dream home, the home you will live in for the rest of your life. Enjoy it.

Thank you girl! You’re right! I am most definitely going to enjoy every moment with my family. All of the details will work themselves out.

You are very close. I’m going to check out a new artist tonight. Hopefully he’ll be able to finish it and then start a new sleeve for me. :)

Guys, what do you think of a 4Runner? I’m really looking into getting one in a few weeks.

So you're just going to leave me hanging like that? Women.... lol

4runners are great. Personally I love the older ones as they are much more rock solid amd less to go wrong with them but all in all they have a reputation similar to Grand Cherokee of having a very loyal fans base and pretty damn solid. Newer ones haul ass too.

Exactly. Hell, some time off may well do the body so,e good. And since you say the move and kids etc will be workout enough then I'm with puccah on this.

And puccah, where is that ceremonial dress or wtvr it is from? Almost looks middle eastern? Just curious. And very well done /looks great btw.

Thank you, guys! chemjr, it’s a Hmong traditional, not really traditional ceremonial outfit. It represents my mother crossing the Mekong river to escape the communist.

Nice, very nice. Def looks good and so much better when ink has a (good) story behind it.

What's in the right hand? Looks like some kind of weapon/tool of sorts.
 
Day 1 at my new gym. In and out in 45 mins. Was plenty of time especially for just chest/tris. New gyms are always a little awkward just trying to figure out what there is and how different machines work.

85x5
95x5
105x5

22.5x12
27.5x12x3

Is it like a preacher machine?

You can go fairly heavy on this, I use it for super-sets with a preacher curl machine to finish a arm workout, love it!

I love this machine! Problem is that my Triceps grow so easy that I don't hardly use it.

Yes pretty much exactly...only difference is it’s a tiny piece at the lower back and not full support. It did seem like I could do a lot more than I’d imagine.
 
Man, 4 am is harder than 4:30! Lol I had trouble sleeping last night too. Might be my to do list running nonstop through my head!

Workout was good this morning! Back is already tight/sore! Chest is pretty sore from yesterday as well.

Back day

Wide grip pulldowns
70x12
85x12
100x12
120x10
120x8x3 sets

Deadlifts
95x8 sldl
135x5
165x5
185x5
205x5
215x5x 3 sets

Pull ups
4 sets of 8-10

Db Rows
65x8
70x8
75x8x2

Straight arm pulldowns
50x15x4 sets

Seated cable rows
120x10x3 sets

I think that’s it. I felt like a wandering fool trying to find machines or equipment I wanted but the selections are much slimmer & different. Will just take a little while to get use to. It’s still a nice gym just different.

It is! I didn’t figure it would be that big of a difference but I have a hard time getting to bed before 10:45-11 so 5 hrs of sleep just doesn’t cut it. Lol

New Gyms are a pain. I remember walking around mine for seriously 2hrs. trying to figure out what was what and and trying to write up a workout plan.
My old gym was a sweet old all iron gym. If it was a machine you had to load plates on it.(Man I miss it)
 
I can't do AM workouts. Have tried many times and always fail. I'm lucky if I can hit the gym by 9:00am on a saturday if I'm trying to fit in a missed workout. 2 scoops of a Pre with DMAA or Radiate and I'm good to go. Problem is I couldn't go to work. they would think I'm a tweeker!
 
Some great workouts and yeah new gyms are both fun and daunting. If you are on a time frame then they are inconvenient but if you have some time to play around with things to see which machines are for you then it can be very fun!
 
I love AM Workouts 4:30 for me !

Me too, it is hard to get started but once you get in the groove nothing gets in the way. No real distractions and then you go home from work and can do whatever you want for the evening. I miss far less workouts when training in the AM. Life just doesn't get in the way as much.

I would have done AM training here in Austin but slept horribly the last 2 nights so getting up at 3:45AM was simply not an option!
 
Damn Kat, I dunno if I could keep up with you! Wouldn't want to be the sh1t end of angry momma bear Kat! With that strength and the right training you could certainly whoop so,e ass woman! How tall are you out of curiosity?

That’s the type of equipment I prefer too! This new one is mostly machines. A decent free weight/plate loaded area but probably half of what the old gym has.

Haha there have been many times I’m still shaking when working on my first few patients for the day! Hard to hide! I do prefer training in the am’s though- minus being tired.

Looking good and you can only go as deep as you can safely, you definitely do not want to trigger the pain. You worked hard and had some grinders, so you got what you needed done done regardless of depth you made the muscle fibers weep!

Getting used to the new gym yet?

Slowly...I just keep wanting to find certain ways to hit the muscles and they just don’t have the machines and the free weights has 2 flat benches and one seat. Just challenging but definitely better than nothing!

Your dark morning selfie just brightened my day! Pretty smile Kat!

PS Love the sexy pec development!!!! A slightly developed and defined chest can be just as sexy as a set of double d's! Was one of my favorite things about my wife when she was still able to lift with me. I would just stare at her upper chest in low cut stuff thinking YUMMY!!!!

Kat, you’re gorgeous!


Went on vacation and lost weight! Ha! Everyone should check the Grand Canyon, The Hoover Dam, and the Red Rocks off their bucket list! Heading to Oregon next! ?
 
Jealous Puccah! Would love to head out to Red Rocks. And Oregon has some really beautiful places

Haha, you can join me! I’m excited about Oregon and will probably go back to Seattle and Vancouver. I plan on moving to Seattle after law school.

It was gorgeous! Our planet is so amazing! I do wonder why some people would want to live out in the middle of nowhere! ?

Just got back from a hunting trip out at my in-laws' place in Western Ks. Got permission to hunt on some other ground that had a lot of canyons and rocky bluffs on it. The ground this guy owns is only a mile long but I'm pretty sure that by time my dad and I walked through all of it, we walked 6 miles. It was very distracting for deer hunting looking at all of it. On our way back to the truck we spent a little more time looking at things. Found some fossils of fish and a bunch of mica. Brought some of the mica home to my daughter who was very thrilled about it.
I love exploring new places and seeing all the beautiful things God created. This world truly is an amazing place!

I would love Seattle, but there are some great places outside the area as long as you stay out of Tacoma....Meth Capital of the world. I spent 3 yrs there at Ft. Lewis, and climbed Mt. Ranier 3 times, mudded outside of it a million times, climbed Mt. St. Helens once. Another enjoyable climb

I love north Seattle! The neighborhood, everything! I didn’t venture out towards Tacoma but I thought it was weird to name an airport Sea-Tac when it wasn’t even close to Tacoma or in Seattle!

I was surprised to find out how cheap rent was in Las Vegas. $600-$800 for a one bedroom is rare in California.
