Baby Wifey's Bucket of Happiness

I'm planning on doing a higher rep lifting routine for at least a couple of weeks. I really have been feeling stuck in a rut the last 2 weeks, and change is what I need. Giving my body a break from heavy lifting will do me some good- my joints have been sore lately, and I think I need some time to recover. I took 4 days off from working out, and I started back up today.

3x10
Clean and Press: 70, 80 lbs

Dips to Failure: 18, 8+6, 10

3x15
DB Lunges: 25 lb DBs

3x15
Wide Grip Pull Down: 70, 80 lbs

I was out of breath my entire workout and every muscle seemed to be burning. It was tiring, but a good change for now.

Haha! Sounds like you've got some adjusting to do.

BW, meet my friend Lactic Acid. He's kind of an a-hole.

Lol, yeah I've met him before. The funny thing is that while my muscles burn more during the high rep routine, they are less sore afterward than when I lift heavy. :dunno:

High rep soreness for me usually comes on the second day after the body part.

LMAO, like you said, guys don't have to fear you, C would take care of most easily!
Hey C! Workouts looking good. Front squats are killer. If you add them with regular squats, be ready to not be to walk or sit on the toilet!:laugh2:

I still didn't notice much soreness the couple days after my last lifting session. I did lift high rep today, I'm gonna gauge how I feel tomorrow and Saturday as well.

3x18

BB Bench: 65 lbs, 75 lbs, 85 lbs

3x10

DB Step Ups: BW+ 2 lb DBs

3x15

DB Bent Rows: 25, 30 lb DBs x2

3x12

Single Leg Bridges
 
1x16, 2x20

Squats: 115 lbs

3x15

BW Push Ups

3x15

Leg Curls: 85 lbs

3x15

Cable Seated Rows: 60lbs

The Squats were so intense! I don't think I have ever done 20 reps before, and I felt like was going to failure. I was sweating buckets and my legs, back and even my upper body were burning like crazy. First set I could only push out 16. I didn't know what to expect from high rep squats, so that first set somewhat accustomed me to the feeling. And it was painful.
 
High-rep squats can be great. That's probably one of the few mass-building exercises that works extremely well in a high rep range. I get more growth from 15-20 rep squats than anything below that.

Interesting. Well here come the thunder thighs! :lol:
 
I'm not going to be lifting tomorrow. My sister-in-law/ best friend from SoCal is flying here to Dallas tonight and tomorrow is her only full day here. Under normal circumstances, I would take her WITH me to the gym since she is very active and loves lifting too, but she dislocated her shoulder a little while back and lifting is a no-no for now.

Instead we'll probably get our nails done and eat some sushi. :D
 
Resolve said:
I'm really not sure I can swallow my pride enough to get either one. I'm sure it would feel nice, but it's pretty emasculating none-the-less...

I usually just go outside and rub my feet on the concrete to give myself a pedicure.

Perhaps you could play with GI Joe action figures or read LumberJack Quarterly while getting it done. Just a suggestion.

This particular salon has a day that they dedicate to men. They play ESPN on the flat screens and serve beer. It's right around the corner.

I finally feel like this high rep workout is doing me some good. Yesterday I lifted and my muscles are feeling sore and worked, the way I know they are supposed to feel. 20 rep DLs did the trick!

3x20, 1x13

BB Deadlifts: 115, 125, 135x2

3x15

Supinated Narrow Grip Cable Pull Down: 70, 90x2

3x10

DB Lateral Raise: 10 lb DBs

2x12

DB Rear Delt Raise: 10 lbs DBs

20 rep DLs! Dang. I rarely go past 15. It's just too taxing on my CNS. Glad to see you still hitting it hard. I miss your everyday posts. You must be busy!

Yeah, the 20 rep deads were insane. And thanks. :) I have been busy. Last week I lost my wallet (which was really bad) and this week my sister came over (which was really good!). Work has been going awesome so far.

My diet has been so-so through all of this. Monday through Wednesday I was cheating like crazy. Sushi, greek, chocolate. It was sooo good. I thought I would have gained like 10 lbs over this week but I weighed in at 157 lbs this morning. :dunno: I haven't weighed in less than 158 for a VERY long time. It's not a big deal to me, as everyone knows I do not worry about my weight. I just find it interesting that it is the week I cheat a TON that I drop a pound.

No kidding! :D

I've started taking Fenugreek. Resolve picked me up a couple of bottles from Nutra Planet for an awesome price. I'm looking forward to seeing what effects this has on me. Apparently a woman knows she is taking a high enough dosage when her sweat smells like maple syrup! Bring it on!

Start at 2g and ramp up to 5g. I haven't taken it since I was 19 or so, but that's what I remember dosing it like. It's almost frowned upon for men to take it these days it seems. I never hear guys using it anymore.

Bigger boobs, huh? I didn't know that it helped with that. Awesome. :D
 
nycste said:
damn these little bottles will go fast at that rate! and faster if i gotta bump dosage

Yessir they do. Are you in PCT? Any reason why you're using it? Libido? - Just curious. I haven't heard of any dudes using that stuff recently. I used it in PCT for a long injectable cycle I did, but never since then. I think it had something to do with synergistic effects with the SERM I was using.

I suggested it to her because it can help balance her hormones, but what does she get most excited about? The possibility of a bigger chest... man, my wife is cool...

And yeah, I don't hear much about guys taking it these days due to the increase in prolactin it causes.

Do you have issues with hormonal fluctuation, BW?...or is it just normal female flubbergumble (I just made that word up)? - Flubbergumble means a deviation from the norm when the norm is in fact the deviation, ergo, most women I know have irregular hormone fluctuations, thus irregular being the norm. - Flubbergumble.

BabyWifey, what are the benefits you have noted from taking fenugreek?
Click to expand...

I am really hoping that it will help balance my hormone levels throughout the entire month (like Resolve said), increase my libido and a little extra size in my chest wouldn't hurt. ;) I only just started taking this today, so effects haven't kicked in yet.

LOL. I don't think that my hormonal fluctuations are abnormal. My performance in the gym decreases and my mood drops for about a week in every month. It isn't a pleasant time at all, and if any herb can regulate and level my hormones out a little I will be happy.

I have read that suma root is real good for women looking for hormonal restortation. Reverse will help as well, so don't forget to take your Reverse LOL.

Ya that would be great if it helped you out. It's worth a try at least.

It's a real funny show. I just started getting into it. I've been renting the discs on Netflix. I've been in search of another high ever since I finished watching Arrested Development last summer. So far nothing has lived up to it. :(

Nothing lives up to AD. But here is a show that I totally enjoyed watching. I love Lisa Kudrow, she is so weird:
