How about my quad?
I need to work on the cut myself. Lisa, you're definitely a hard body.

Try these for a bit of unconventional leg training .....
Romanian deadlifts Dumbell squats Sumo Squats Goblin squats Straightleg deadlifts TRX hamstring curls Standing calf raises.One legged.Own bodyweight to failure. All the squats mentioned above are very easy on the knees. |

For those lifting weekly, do you ever have weeks where you actually GO DOWN in the weight you are able to lift? I did horrible today with chest/tris, my weights were way way off, but I felt like I had a really punishing workout. The only variable is that I didn't sleep great last night, but that's it.
Is it normally to have a bummer week now and then? I just hope it doesn't continue long, easy to get frustrated! |

This has turned out to be an AWESOME thread
BTW, workout for this weekend is 24 miles of mountain bike riding (12 each day), and chest/arm weight training tomorrow. I just realized this morning my waistline has actually shrunk a bit more, but my weight has increased by 3 pounds from my lowest weight of 167lbs. I'm lovin' this new lifestyle

I lift about 5 times a week. Chest, arms, shoulders, back, core, and a little bit of legs. I run about 3 miles a day to stay in shape.
I recently got my benchweight to 195 which I'm pretty proud of. |

Most neglected bodyparts in the gym .... core and legs.The stronger the legs and core,the stronger the upper body also !! Give every part equal attention,unless working on a neglected or genetic weakpoints.

Any member thinking about exercising,getting in shape,but lacking the will power, motivation,enthusiasm and commitment ..... I strongly suggest buying the book "Body for Life" by Bill Philips.Amazing what people can achieve in just a few weeks.Inspiring and amazing !! Complete transformations !!
BTW,lack of time is not an excuse.Make some time !! |

Back in the day when I was in medical school, I was in the best shape of my life. I went out 5 nights a week, but before I went out for dinner and a drink I would work out or jog for an hour. Every day. No exceptions. If I was late, I'd have dinner myself and catch up afterward. It's all about the discipline. I'm slowly making that mental change now. It's a challenge, but I make myself go to the gym at least 3x per week. I actually have a nice home gym set up, but if I try to catch up there, it's usually a waste of time. Though I hope to do 2 days of 30 min cardio/stretching there per week.
My next step is to wean myself off my carb addiction and hydrate more. My usual diet is about 75% carbs and many cups of dehydrating coffee at work. I officially went down a pant size today!

My super power seems to be memorizing vast amounts of material the first time through. It left me a lot of free time. I found a few more slackers and put my crew together. They nicknamed me "Otis", as in Otis Campbell, Andy Griffith's Mayberry's town drunk. It was because I went out every night though, not because I got wasted all the time! As with all things, self control and discipline are the key. Maybe I'll post a before and after in a few months. I posted my quad, we'll see how it progresses.
