Thursday, May 29 PUSH

PUSH chest press 3x12 squats 5 sets leg press 3x10 tri pressdown 3x10 shoulder press/y-press 3x10 Yesterday I kind of lagged so I did the workout fasted. I'm personally used to fasting till 1-2 pm so I was still energetic. I did eat a handful of peanuts just in case - don't want to be lightheaded and faint at the gym! After the workout, I realized I like to do cardio fasted but strength training should be done after a solid meal. I didn't feel like my performance was weaker or that I burnt out quicker, but preferably I won't be weightlifting on an empty stomach again. I thought it was so funny that my sweat marks made this face -___-. I call it the "weh" face But this is what I got to eat post workout. Chirashi bowl - some carbs and protein :)

Werk those Bewbs

Usually I write down my workout plan before I get to the gym but today I didn't have time and had to figure it out in the changing room. Surprisingly, I had a greatt workout today! Yay to improvisation! Chest, Shoulder, Tris = ARMS DAY 5 min rowing machine chest cable crossover chest press machine lateral/front raise with DB Seated raise to Y-press (here's a picture and where I first saw this move ) - this one is killer, use lighter weights) tricep cable pushdown with straight bar  shoulder upright rows I meant to go home and do 100 pushups and 100 ab wheels and 100 dips on a chair... but those can wait til tmw. Arms have been thoroughly worked out today :) Success!

slight pet peeve

Yesterday I had a good workout but it ended on a "meh" kind of note. It was good cause I was wearing two sports bra and they were thoroughly soaked >:) Chest, Shoulders, Tris 3 x 15 DB shoulder press 15 DB lateral raises, superset 10 pushups. Do 3 sets 3 x 15 tricep extensions 3 x 15 cable crossovers Butt while waiting for the squat rack... cause some dude likes to look at his phone and sit on the actual bar whilst waiting in between, weird. 10 plie squats followed by however long you want to jumprope (with DBs) Do 4 sets Squats 4 x 10 increasing weights each time Deadlifts since I went up to 95 lbs last time, I decided to start with 95 today. Cake! did about 10 reps (eventually) and then added 5 more pounds (not much difference!) was going to make it 105 lbs BUT THEN while I was in my Dianasaur-mode, some dude came up to me and I asked me how many more sets I had left. I never ask anyone how many sets they have/or how much longer they're going to be o...

Yay for workout dates :)

One of my best friends and I have decided to workout together every Wednesdays! So good because we keep each other accountable and learn new workout routines. I think I want us to switch off every other week to plan out the workout of the day :P But yesterday I planned the workout and she wanted to do arms and I wanted to do booty ARMS -Dips -Cable crossovers -Cable pressdown -on knees pushups LEGS -leg press -swiss machine kick backs -abduction on floor -jumping squats (vs she did wide stance, narrow stance, and sumo stance squats) I usually do weights that I can go as 'heavy' as I personally can and do 8 reps each. But with Anabelle, we sometimes did lighter weights and instead did more reps. It works! my arms are hurtingg Love how we're working out together! But then we went to yardhouse afterwards and enjoyed some happy hour goods. OOPS :) maybe next time we won't do that, except just enjoy a post-workout brew ;)

some pledge ey

Monday 6/3 I forgot what I did that day, but I know I ate healthy all day except for dinner, when we grubbed at In n out. X.x for some reason everything was just salted so much and I eventually got a food coma and while browsing on my phone I drifted off to a deep slumber. JUST DON'T LIE IN BED EVEN FOR A BRIEF MOMENT so I already broke my pledge on the second day hehe That is fine, live another day Tuesday 6/4 : BEWBIES day 4 sets of 12 db flyes medicine ball pushups db bench press cable crossover cable press down and 20 minutes high intensity cycling. OMGawd, so in 19 minutes I cycled 5 miles! Remember when I cycled for an hour last time and my dumb machine said I only cycled 6 miles (lies)? hahah Yay feeling goood ALSO, I got hit on by a buff guy >_< he said he saw me walking into the gym and wanted to get to know me. I was so flustered and caught off guard but what an ego boost :D though I very awkwardly said I'm not looking and ran off *herpderp* ...

Monday & Tuesday Workout

Yesterday I procrastinated at going to the gym because I got hungry and made a sandwich then decided to catch up on Bones (wth, why is Pelant such a maniac). But since I eventually missed the boxing boot camp class I was planning to go to, I then decided to catch up on Modern Family and Once Upon a Time. Omg why is Peter Pan (the shadow) so creepy...

Jamie Eason's DAY 1

Image
Phase 1, day 1  (link to her page and video on bodybuilding) This is day 1's workout. I did this workout 3 days ago, and I was really sore for 2 days! Going to get those muscles :D If you read my previous post, I talked about how Jamie Eason barely does cardio and that I'm going to attempt to do her 12 week weight program because I want to be toner and leaner.
