Kicking it up a notch with Finaflex Stumul8/BCAA SAA

"Who knows maybe I'll get strong enough for a PL comp!"

Two thoughts on this.

(1) Your are strong enough !!
(2) The thing we regret in life are those we don't do.................So "Do It"

My words of Wisdom for a Saturday Morning

Thanks Rocket! I'm going to once I reach my 12-15% bf goal!

Side note...I am so sore that getting dressed or even moving is painful! Did you know that yawning uses chest muscles? Lol
 
Lol
 
You look awesome, Kat!
 
Good morning! Back to work today. I hope you all had a great weekend! We decided to surprise my daughter for her birthday(this Friday) by painting her room. We got it all finished up yesterday.

I don't have my new plan yet so I decided to do something similar to last week since i'm still sore from last week. Took some videos today but I didn't shoot for the 225 because of the trainer standing beside me. He drives me crazy. Everything I do he critiques! I feel like he's constantly watching me. I appreciate the help but it makes me paranoid. I can see right off on the 215 that I didn't sit back in my hips enough. I can feel the difference but having the video really helps so I can see. Also, realized on the rows that I was standing up too much- stayed bent over on the rest of them but didn't video again.

Brought my stuff to do cardio at lunch but hubby just called and said that lil man was throwing up again. Not sure what's causing this! Nerves?! He wasn't sick at all over the break and seemed fine this morning.

I hope you all have a great day!
 
Forgot to note- I took just under 1/3 a scoop today! This stuff is still crazy! Definitely doesn't loose its effect!
 
back to work here as well... going to try the gym today and see how I fare. hoping I can handle some leg presses and curls.
 
Great workout! I have never done Rows like that, I may have to dig out my T=Bar and give it a try !! Thank you!

I had never heard of Meadow Rows until I joined this Board, so after reading about them I goggled a You Tube video and gave the a try. They just did not feel productive so I never tried them again. After watching your video yesterday and seeing how you did them I was inspired so last night I went home, build a Meadow Row apparatus for my power rack. I gave them a shot this morning and loved them, my lats are still pumped, Thank you!

Thanks guys! That's awesome Rocket! Meadow rows are quite different feeling but I enjoy the one arm BB rows! Glad you enjoyed them!
 
Thank you for your help !

Meadows Rows are a bit different than the video she posted. You actually grab the larger circumference of the bar.

That is the way it was in the video, but I did not seam to get much out of them. I did the KAT rows at 4:30 this morning and I still (4pm) have a pump in my lats!!

I wouldn't give up on them yet. Maybe the positioning is slightly off. I have yet to hear that they re ineffective.
 
Thanks Thomas! ...Rocket, I've had to work with my positioning of meadow rows myself. They feel really odd at first but definitely light up the lats if you do them right! I'll video them how I find them comfortable and see if that's any different or better feeling for you!
 
Happy Wednesday! Sorry a little late posting crazy morning at work!!....I can feel a cold trying to come on. I've been taking extra glutamine and vitamin C. So far I'm able to keep it at bay.

The massage was so good! Always too short but I wore the lady out! Lol...she kept telling me how tight I was. Said on a scale of 1-10 I was a 10! Haha Maybe I won't wait 2 years this time! Hubby got me a big gift card so I might can squeeze 3 massages out of it.

Glad the massage was great. Did she get the elbows going to penetrate the muscle? Hurts like a b*tch
 
Yes she used forearms and elbows! I didn't get the "deep tissue" but next time I definitely will because I wanted it much deeper!!!

My mom does deep tissue massages and once in a great while I'll ask her to massage me. It's tooooooo painful! :'(
 
Before I started lifting, I hated pressure during massages...now they can't get deep enough! Lol

Haha that's funny! That leaves plenty for us! The new client paper work I filled out asked me how often I'd like to come...I put every week! Lol Unfortunately my pocket book doesn't agree with that!
 
Started my new workout today! My new program is a push/pull set up allowing me to get the metabolic effects of a full body but able to lift 4 days out of the week. I really liked it. Took a little longer than I was planning but that was from chatty people at the gym. The supersets kept things pretty intense as well! Avg hr was 150! Strength was pretty good too considering how weak I was this weekend! So glad to be better! The stimul8 most definitely helped give me the energy I needed to train!!

A co-worker told me that our insurance covers monthly massages. I have to look into that.
