^lol, drunken weights, how does that work?

tonight i repeated last week's bodypump and then hit the gym. noticeable improvement from last week. feels good mang? nah, feels GREAT!
 
^^ Endorphin junkie imo <3

^lol, drunken weights, how does that work?

Not very well! =D

I think my only saving graces are the fact that I have an immense tolerance to alcohol, so actually don't feel that drunk after the amount that I had, and I always drink shitloads of water, so I actually wasn't/am not that dehydrated.

It wasn't a hugely effective weights session though, but I worked up a good sweat, got some endorphins pumping, and was happy that I did at least something :)
 
Drunken weights...I've done that. Nothing major because I realized it was a horrible idea halfway into it. I also tried lifting stoned after seeing American Beauty. That scene is a lie! ;)
 
3.6 mile mountain hike with my husband and the dog
this time the husband slowed me down but it was nice to have his company

he said I should be carrying a piece in the woods along with our 15 lb dog
I said he should come with me and leave the guns at home
 
Set out for my 15km run yesterday, only to discover more fucking roadworks on the path that I run. So I had to turn back early, but instead of doing a relatively slow 15km, I did a faster 8km.

8km in 40 mins. Happy with that :)
 
Regular daily callanetics routine twice - mixed up with some extra exercises for my arms, hips and behind.

...it felt like my body was getting used to it, going through the motions and not really working anymore.
 
^ you have to progressively give your muscles and cardiovascular system systematic overload if you want it to adapt (with proper nutrition/rest). Otherwise they musculature will have no need to adapt if it has 'been through the motions' before with a certain exercise at a certain intensity/weight.
 
^Yep - I hadn't really thought that this would apply to me in practicing callanetics, because it's always been very hard on my body and I hadn't prepared myself for the eventuality... Feels good that I can do the routine so well, though!

Thanks for the background :)
 
It is definitely an accomplishment you should be proud of. Now ask yourself if you want to further develop your body (and mind) with physical work...and if yes...then push harder with more intensity/less rest/more resistance (whatever gets you working harder).

peace :)
 
3. Legs Low Rep
Exercise Sets Reps
Cardio Leg WU 3 min.
Leg Extension WU 2x 20
Leg Press Kill Set Quad 1x 15/8/8/8
Single/Split Leg Squat 5x 5
Deadlift 3x 5
Hamstring Raise 2x 5
Calves General 5x 5
circuit w/ V-up & Obliques

That kill set is intense.. 15 warm up with 50 kg, then 8 slow down fast up with 120, drop to 80 and do 8 more, drop to 40 and do 8 more but 6 secs down, hold 4 at bottom and fast up... When I'm done it feels like I've done enough quads for the day :D

I had shin splints for about two years.. And I'm not saying this caused it but I did start noticing it when going for a run while pretty messed up on ghb. God I can be stupid sometimes :!

edit: forgot to mention it hurt like hell and I got lost so I was walking around in pain g'd outta my mind looking for a way home.. After an hour I managed to steal a bike and it still took me another 30 minutes to get back. Mind you I was only 2 km away when I wanted to return in the first place. I'm happy my crazydays are over.
 
Yay! My thighs, hips, butt and stomach are finally in pain again after a really long plateau with my callanetics routine - mixing it up has really helped.
 
Oh, and can someone please give me really succinct instructions on how to do squats? Video, or very detailed steps? I find that I can't keep my back straight and I just feel like I'm going to fall backwards, and therefore my body automatically leans forward... Ack.

inb4 fitness n00b. I know.
