THUR LOG

40 min kickbox cardio
3x45 sec planks
3x10 swiss ball pike*

Didn't have trouble keeping up with the cardio at all, but about 30 min in my knees were giving me problems. Been massaging them since I finished.

*I was so uncoordinated doing pikes. I attempted them a few times before I could properly balance myself. Kind of advanced for me but it really did hit my core!

I see you do kickboxing for cardio. Do you do this to a video, or on your own?? Do you have a bag at home??

At home via YouTube :) It's a nice change up, but all the kicking/jumping/twisting is hell for my knees so I don't do it too often! In the meantime I'm thinking about taking up something more low impact, like swimming :) Squeezing into a bathing suit to swim in a public pool does make me a bit anxious though...

I love kickboxing, especially since it helps you burns about 1,000 calories an hour!! I also LOVE to punch the bag as hard as I possible, pretending it's someone I'm REALLY angry at!! Anyway....if you have bad knees then I bet swimming will be a welcome change. I gotcha on the whole suit thing!!! fun...fun!!

as a public service announcement i would like to remind everyone reading this to learn how to wrap your wrists before wailing on the heavy bag, lol...

When i was working out in jersey i was doing timed rounds on a heavy bag and saw a dude sprain his wrist on his opening right hand into the bag...

As your weight drops and body changes you will feel better about being in a suit. :)
I know I do at least. :)

3x30 RKC Planks


Good workout, great energy. Sipped on some bcaa mixed with 1/2 scoop of Jack3d with the intention of working out right away... Somehow I ended up taking a nap right after I drank that lol I must've been tired! Last night I was up at 4:30 a.m. foam rolling/stretching my lower back so didn't get much zzz's. It was a great nap and I woke up feeling calm, refreshed, and ready to hit the weights. I haven't pressed that much weight for floor presses or crushers so that was awesome as well! My tri's were shaking during crushers and my right tricep seems to be the weaker side.

OHP 3x5@40lbs
  • 2 Drop Sets (6-18/6-20)
    • 40lbs/20lbs
DL 3x5@ 102lbs

  • 2 Drop Sets (6-20)
    • 102lbs/52lbs
RDL 1x10@52lbs, 2x10@62lbs

Superset:
Reverse Lunges 2x10@15lbs each
DB Step Ups 2x10 @15lbs each

20 min incline walk on treadmill


Decided to mix things up today and add drop sets to my last 2 sets of OHP and DL. OHP was a LOT harder. I'm supposed to do 6 heavy reps, drop the weight by 50% and immediately finish with 20 reps. I could only do 18 reps for the 1st drop set of OHP. Holy cow!! 2nd set of dropsets I was just barely able to do 20! Dropsets for DL was a bit taxing on the lower back but it had me sweating tons! Took a short rest period after RDL and went straight into supersets. My legs were on fire...safe to say I might have trouble walking tomorrow!

lol just a little bit :laugh: that on top of activities on Saturday has me super sore today. I used the 6-20 method just because it was easier to follow. I'm curious to see if those drop sets will have an effect my OHP and DL on Wednesday. Do you work legs much?? I'm trying to lose mass around my thighs and I'm wondering if I should not train them so aggressively and maybe incorporate more cardio or something. Or am I being impatient and need to wait for the bf% to drop first?

I've never avoided any body part. My whole body has thinned out. Keep working On dropping body fat. Your legs will trim down. Mine did. :-)

Agree w/ Ms Sawa --Keep doing what your doing!! Eventually you WILL see changes in your thighs. My leg's are the last to go as well and I think a lot of gal's hold more "MASS" ( I like that word) in their lower body. IMO...the harder you work your lower, the quicker you will see changes and the more cardio you do, the quicker you will lose b/fat all over.....
 
Thick legs = :D
For me anyways.
 
Just remember that female fat distribution makes you store a lot of fat in your thighs and bum. Your lucky tho as you don't seem to hold much on the back of yours arms :) keep on keeping on dropping that bf and you'll get there :)

Cool thanks!! It's my least favorite body part right now. Trying on dresses the other day made me cringe!!

It will change. Finding the right style of dress and so on to flatter your body type is key. I've dropped a lot a d there are some things that I think make me look "fat". Lol. As you get down farther the changes can be slow. My upper thighs still have quite a bit to lose. Not sure ill ever lose it all but we shall see. Keep it up

For sure sawa! I think I'm pear-shaped (smaller on top, bigger on bottom) so I'm trying to find clothes that flatter that shape. It's easier to throw on a hoodie and some yoga pants, but I'm just realizing now that I don't really know how to dress a smaller frame.
 
Haha you guys are cracking me up.
I'm put Kix on a lower body gaining diet.

Its such an awesome app.... Especially for the battle ropes because i can just watch it... I have not tried it for sprints or jump roping yet but there has to be audible cues...

Walked into the weight room very sluggish today but once I got warmed up I somehow found energy to last me throughout the workout. Thank goodness!

OHP started off really strong the first 4 sets. Decided to bump it up to 50lbs but I only was able to pull off 2 reps, and even those were a struggle. I took my sweet time with DL and concentrated on form and that helped a lot. No aches or pains, and legs were super strong. My energy was waning by the time I got to the last rep of the last set. I rested at the bottom for about 5 secs before pulling and once I reached the top of the pull I got super light headed. RDL felt strong - I was able to throw on 10 more lbs and bang those out rather easily. My knees and hips were cracking during warm up and even when I was pacing around during sets. Right butt cheek also sore! Not sure what that's about.
 
Nice work out...
Seems the word "butt" comes up a lot in this thread.
