PI, I admire your tone and aim appear like that too :), as for particular yoga poses I know the head stand is far too advanced for me...

Thank you. The past year's exercise routine has changed my body in a positive way. My husband gets me to flex for his family :o I must admit I am proud of what I can do.
I can't do a head stand...yet. Taking pics with a 10 sec timer sucks. My form is better than it appears.
I take Yoga once a week and Pilates twice.
I spin 4 times a week.
I lift weights twice a week...heavy.
I take classes that incorporate boot camp style exercises with high intensity intervals 1-2 times a week.

The boot camp that you do...is it for the military or put on by a fitness studio?
The gym I go to has that program but it would make me late for work otherwise I would be down for the challenge.

He's going for the male stripper thing. When's the last time you saw a male stripper with a pony tail?

True. I guess all that mane shaking is supposed to be sexy when you are performing but I though ninja was exercising.
Did the shorts come off at the end? I didn't watch it all =D
 
Damn people.. good on the progress. Easy on the eyes, this bunch.

Getting buzzed from some tea, and smiling funny due to lip sore (as mentioned in another post).

The boot camp is put on by a fitness studio - without the hype of dressing in camo gear, being shouted at and calling the trainer Sarge - just a group training session. It's easier for me to think of it in boot camp, since when I say group training session I see it for a specific sport. 8) I do enjoy it, a nice mix up to my usual training which is a particular discipline each time (swim, cycle or run - I was bitten by the triathlon bug over 6 years ago, but a change in circumstances made me stop for a while - back to what I <3 now though :D )

Bugger it here is a pic from this morning so I am staying on topic. The other photo in an earlier post was from June. My <3 says my body shape will not change much :( just get firmer

Looking good! Sounds like you are feeling good.

Yeah my gym has a 6 week boot camp running without the drill sargent demeaning bullshit. I find exercising with others very motivational. I like not having to plan out my fitness routine for maximal gains. The instructors do it for me.
 
Dtergent, owwieeee! :( I HATE those kind of lip sores :(

I like how my traps look in this photo :)

Very impressive PI! I'm not super knowledgeable about flexing, but try squeezing your shoulders back and down more, and your shoulder blades together. It should squish your upper back muscles a bit and increase the definition.

Heh, I just had the mental image that you were really mad at your towel rack. 'PI SMASH!!!. :)
 
N3 you have very nice traps!! :) Your neck/trap area is hmm sexy mam.

PI cut like crazy as usual...STRIATIONs upon striations. I think i spelt that right

I recently added BCAA Amino Acids to my little program and am very impressed with them. I feel my recovery time has decreased drastically and I feel so damn fresh and ready to hit every workout with balls out intensity.

I"m still eating for calories and not so much to cut fat, but I'm trying to do intense cardio(150-160 bpm) for around 45 mins/day. I believe I'm up around 200 again(from 185) and feeling much better.

This stupid web cam takes shitty pictures

I have one fan in the background ;)
 
Thanks Red I appreciate that.

ahahah yah I'm done with hair removal I believe. :) As long as it dosen't start sproutin on my back, you know sweater style, I'm good man :D

Hell yah I love aminos Red. I'm always kinda weary to try all these supplements, as I think most are just wastes of $$$. I usually just stick with protein, tribulus, and ZMA. But I definitely feel BCAAs are worth the very decent price.

Before I google this beta stuff, in your words, describe it for me. That sounded retarded but I'm serious; I like getting first hand descriptions from people I trust rather than reading some other crap.

Basically it actually did for me what creatine was "supposed to do." I never really noticed any direct effects from creatine other than power-of-suggestion. So I substituted beta alanine for creatine after researching them technically. I take it before sessions. And it really does work. And it's about the same price at GNC, dose-for-dose, as creatine. For me, I noticed 2 things:

1) Increase in power. Now I typically am a mass-builder, so I don't powerlift all that much. But I occasionally will try and max out on the power/oly lifts. And as cheesy as it sounds, I just feel like I can "harness power" a lot better on this stuff. Like, with lift, clean and jerk, before I always felt like it was a strain on my body, struggling and such and not rewarded. But now, it feels like a good burn, almost like a "omg I need to lift this car, my child is stuck underneath!" feeling. Raw power.

2) Just an overall focus in the gym. I can now push workouts to 25-30 sets without the last few exercises feeling compromised. I feel pumped for sessions. Increased temporary endurance.

In general, I feel like it's the real deal, something that all of the pre-workout pumps are trying to reach for (god the name of the infamous one is on the tip of my tongue - pink bottle). I don't feel as if I've lost any mass from quitting creatine, but I have gained power/endurance.

Now I am settled into:

Protein
Ammino Complex
Beta Alanine
Glutamine
Vitamin
Magnesium
 
Even when she tries to look sad and down <3 :)

Damn REd, that shit sounds like the real deal. LOL @'lifting the car cuz my baby's underneath', haha but yah I know that type of feeling, it feels damn good. That sounds like a pretty good bang for the buck, which is what I'm always looking for.

I think I'm gonna try that stuff out man. It come in powder, pills, capsules...any particular brand? You can PM if you want so I'm not turning this into a favorite supplement thread, but I think others can benefit from something like this.
