lol, I kindof gauge my workout by it too. Like, the last time I didn't push myself and I only did 1365, so today was way better. I still don't believe the actual number can be accurate though. I'm lucky to get half that jogging or on an exercise bike.

my butt is sore today.

every so often a leg day actually works
i think today im gonna just do some sort of cardio, i think.

maybe i should do arms. i don't do them that much because they bulk up really, really easy and i dont want muscular arms

12/15/2009 10:35:46 AM

I want to bulk up. My goal is to have giant man-muscles.

12/15/2009 10:40:32 AM

^^not sure...depends on a few things

and at the rate im going my arms will be too muscular. i mean they're not toning much, they're bulking pretty badly.

so to clarify i, too, think muscular arms are hot....but mine will easily push into the too muscular zone if i dont watch it.

Turns out Mondays are an off day for my new training schedule (thanks begonias ) so I'm actually running tonight... I'm pretty excited, I mapped out a course and everything so I won't always have to do the stupid treadmill

[Edited on December 15, 2009 at 10:54 AM. Reason : .]

12/15/2009 10:53:09 AM

True, muscular arms are hot. However, not if you have veiny arms like Madonna. Then it's gross.

No offense but I don't believe you. It takes a lot to for women to get gross arms, since they don't naturally produce testosterone. How much can you curl?

12/15/2009 10:54:55 AM

i dont know

i bench about 50ish (thats more chest though right?)
and i do about 30-35 front and side raises
any other day i gauge by whats hard for me that day.

i could go heavier but i dont want to.


my arms has increased 2-3 inches in mass in about 2-3 months.
it's not that they look muscular, they look BIG.

and we wont even get into my forearms
cody even noticed how big they were getting one day.

and im relatively sure its not fat.

annnddd as soon as i started to lay off of them (maybe only once a week now)...they settled down.

[Edited on December 15, 2009 at 11:03 AM. Reason : long story short-i do NOT want big arms and thats whats happening.]

[Edited on December 15, 2009 at 11:04 AM. Reason : me and you also may have a different definition of gross. ]

12/15/2009 11:06:09 AM

i know.

i dont want to go much heaver


the most ive ever done was 80-90ish.
still weak as shit i know

[Edited on December 15, 2009 at 11:06 AM. Reason : ^see i think the second one is border line gross. ]

12/15/2009 11:06:11 AM

Well then you need to cutttttttt

12/15/2009 11:07:40 AM

i dont want to cut until its closer to bathing suit season


i'm slowly making diet changes now

[Edited on December 15, 2009 at 11:09 AM. Reason : ps i relaly like the jump you made from gross to not gross ahahaha]

12/15/2009 11:09:10 AM

I'm starting NOW

*throws away soda and ice cream*

12/15/2009 11:10:00 AM

Women walk a fine line with arm mass...not enough weight, you run the risk of underarm fat sag, especially as you approach you 30’s. Too much weight, and you look like a dude. It takes a lot of work to maintain a good tone without adding too much bulk. I don’t envy your predicament.

12/15/2009 11:10:26 AM

ps- i dig these arms


(this is an older picture and shes bulked up more since then)

[Edited on December 15, 2009 at 11:11 AM. Reason : ^i sorta feel the same way. ]

12/15/2009 11:10:36 AM

god, i think women perceive their arms completely differently than we do....

TRANNY SURPRISE I BET

WOW

(j/k)

12/15/2009 11:12:24 AM

Yes, the arms in that picture are ideal.

They say "I know my way around the gym, but I still retain my feminine qualities"

12/15/2009 11:13:23 AM

^^funny you put that picture up there


i was sooooooooooooo happy my arms looked so little in it!
ahaha

you can ask cody-i was stoked

Women should want to be STRONG.

12/15/2009 11:14:55 AM

Actually I was referring to the arms of the blonde girl above

Your arms scream of a severe Vitamin C deficiency

No offense

That is incredible. Is this on a "this is six inches" scale ?

Joie is hot. lay off.

12/15/2009 5:24:55 PM

^^lol nah. my arms were really puny to begin with.

but they increased so quickly!

12/15/2009 5:34:16 PM

i got a jump rope man, $5 @ walmart...quality one too

All I want for Xmas is some new workout gloves with wrist straps built in...my current ones are quite rank and beginning to tear in some parts. New straps would be nice too but I think I'd rather get some grip crushers and do more lifts raw. They had some hooks at walmart too for like $7...didn't pull the trigger...I suppose if I just wanted pure strength from the legs and eliminate a weak link the in the chain, I'd go for it, but I think I'd rather just stick with increasing grip strength.

12/15/2009 7:37:45 PM

Speed ropes own.

12/15/2009 7:41:44 PM
