JEPPE

Tonight I'm waiting until the cool change comes before I hit the gym. Yay for 24/7.

3/1 - Xplode 10x2 unless otherwise stated DB Press 7.5kg 10 12.5 Frustrating because I can't do 15kg and it's the next weight up. Don't want to do bar when I'm on my own because I'm quite uneven. May make middle two sets 12.5 as well see if it reduces reps in last two. Lat pull down - close grip 60lbs 80 (36kg) 90 (41kg) +3kg 8x2 Inclined DB press 6kg 8 10 Struggling on final 2 sets Tricep push down 20lbs 30 40 10x1 4x1 Sit ups 3x40 And today will be a whole month of hitting the gym. Yay

Yah that was what I know I should have done. Increased 10kg last time and still got too many reps. Will see what I can get out tomorrow! Heat will make it a bitch >.<

Yah TTT, for work problems hey? Haha, don't worry Leesh, apparently the gym I go to is particularly bad for this. Didn't gym yesterday, skipped due to hang over and went today - ironically feeling worse. Felt weird and did my OCD in not doing my appropriate days but oh well. No nye for another 12 months. 2/1/13 xplode 10x2 unless otherwise stated DB press standing 4kg 6 7x1@10 6x1@10 Seated row 50lbs 70 7x1@90 8x1@90 Concentration curls 5kg 6 [email protected] [email protected] Lat pull down - wide 40 60 80 slight swing on final set Tried 90lbs but form went out the window. Will add a 3kg DB into 80lbs next time. Squats 20kg 30 42.5 Dead lift 30 40 70 Tried 80 and couldn't even get it off the ground, then underestimated and kept it at 70 when I should have increase at least a little. Was a bit dissapointed that I couldnt at least get one out at 80 but my grip was much more secure this time so at least some improvement was present. And gloves are good but still don't save me from callouses around my middle knuckles. Or on my palms actually. Need bunny felt on the insides :3

Reps and sets are 10x2 unless otherwise stated 31/12/12 Not failing enough! Bench was a bit out of it because changed to DB and underestimated weight. Triceps improved a bit and added on some sit ups just to be cruel. Bench press DB 7.5kg 10 12.5 Lat pull down - close grip 60lbs 80 90 Inclined bench press DB 6kg 7.5 10 Tricep push down 9kg 13 16 (13+3DB) 10x1 6x1 Leg raises 6x15 60 sit ups Oh, also tried wearing earbuds listening to music to see if it made any difference but unfortunately still got three approaches. This one made me laugh: Dude: 'Hey!' Me: *Takes out earbud* 'Eh?' Dude: 'You're working pretty hard, that's great' Me: 'Thanks' Dude: 'What are you up to tonight?' Me: 'Going out with my boyfriend' ***end of communication*** Srsly these 'polite' tees aren't going to work

28/12/12 DB press 10x2@4kg 10x1@6 [email protected] 10x2@10 Seated row 10x2@50lbs 10x2@70 7x1@90 6x1@90 Lat pull downs, wide grip 10x2@40lbs 10x2@60 10x2@80 slight swing Squats 10x2@20kg (accidentally did 2) 10x1@30 10x1@40 Dead lift 10x1@30kg 10x1@40 10x1@70 Bicep bar curls 10x3@10kg 10x1@15

Then gtfo :3

Oh, btw that was nutrigrain blended into the shake.

Yay, today increased my max Tricep push down by 3kg which could mean anything really because the pulley is f**ked. Either way at this particular gym I stay on the same machine for this so it's consistent. Especially since last time I did triceps I had just increased it by 1kg which was huge after not even being able to do one rep at that weight about 6 sessions before that. Bench press 10x2@20kg 10x2@25kg 6x1@30kg 5x1@30kg Lat pull down - close grip 10x2@60lbs 10x2@80lbs 6x1@90lbs - felt like machine was jamming 10x1@90lbs Bench press - inclined 10x2@20kg 5x3@25kg 1x4@25kg Tricep push down - flat bar 10x2@9kg 10x2@12kg (9+3) 10x1@16kg (13+3) 5x1@16kg Sit ups 20x6

I have weetbix or oats (ultimate) in the morn: low GI. Nutrigrain or cornflakes post workout: high GI

Made a new concoction for my protein shake tonight. Might seem excessive but trust me it's the only way I sleep at night. Protein powder ~30gm protein Banana Milk Bowl of nutrigrain It's the nutrigrain part that made it, made it urgh.

Can you please explain what this means for me?

I wear gloves. But my wrist is broken so it's too painful if I don't. Oh and I like maintaining soft lady hands :3

^ hehe, reminds me of this:

eh.. pull ups and chin ups.. I can't even do one of either unassisted. Will need to get elastic bands and rig up a bar in the garage... not sure if I can do that though. Anything else possible? Tricep extension I can do.

Yah, want to help me out even more by suggesting equivalents for lat pull down, close and wide grip, and tricep push down (maybe tricep push backs?)?

Just YouTubed pendlay rows O_O good news is I was given a bench kit and weights for Xmas To keep in Whoop Whoop so needed to know how I could do same exercise as seated row without the machine. Thanks for that!

24/12/12 - Nitro. Felt like tripe was feeling terribly sick and nauseous. Bench Press - inclined 10x2@15kg db 10x2@20kg 10x1@25kg 6x1@30kg 5x1@30kg Lat pull down - close grip 10x2@60lbs 10x2@80lbs 5x1@100lbs then 3x1@90 9x1@90lbs Bench Press 10x2@20kg 10x2@25 5x2@30 Tricep push down [email protected] [email protected] 10x1@34 9x1@34 Leg raises 6x15 25/12/12 - Xplode Did heaps better on dead lift today. Last time could only get 5 reps out of the max set, went back three times to try again and literally couldn't get it even an inch off the ground. Today got it to 15 reps and could have kept going but was getting faint. Was awesome improvement only since Friday. Will increase weight next time and see what I can do DB press 10x2@4kg 10x2@6kg 10x2@10kg Seated row 10x2@50lbs 10x2@70 10x1@80 6x1@90 Squats 10x1@20kg 10x1@30 [email protected] Dead lift 10x1@30kg 10x1@40 15x1@60 Bicep bar curls 10x4@10kg 7x1@15 6x1@15 Gah. Forgot to do wide grip on lat pull down. OCD is making this difficult to accept.

True, pose makes a big difference, front on for women can be quite unflattering. But I don't think she's going for curves which is partly why I like her

Just being realistic. Spent years making my boyfriends unhappy because I was so oblivious to the fact that guys were interested. I didn't think I was attractive at all and it was naive. Now I know what I am and am able to understand how to keep things clear cut because I prefer to be this way and I find it more respectful to my partner. Trust me I think I would rather not have to claim this but I'm not naive anymore.

Please tell me you're joking. Challenge accepted. I have looked good enough in the past to take saucy pictures of myself that will ignite a positive response from the majority of the male audience which is a purpose included in her photo. I didn't take them then and I won't take them in the future when I'm fit because I couldn't give I toss about the reactions people have to my body when it's displayed in a provocative manner. I will however show off my completed goals because I will be proud of them, but it will be as decent and practical as I can make it, most likely similar to the 'before' photos in the selfie thread. I work out because I find it fun and I want to race and I want strength to fix my paddock fencing and chainsaw my trees and build shit. I have no need to take photos like that and it has nothing to do with the way I look.

Only other thing I'm going to say is: This girl is far more gorgeous to me.

Dude, any girl who finds it necessary to photograph themselves with fake boobs, fake tan and lingerie then have it accessible to people who then can post it all over the Internet and forums, which is a hive for judgement, obviously can handle some criticism as well. Yeah girls are more judgmental on girls than guys, that's natural and ingrained in our sexuality. Everyone knows this and it's going to be as hard to change as trying to stop guys sneaking a peek at boobs or booties. I wasn't only saying there are more naturally better looking women out there. I think that she could be much more gorgeous without all the artificial additions, I think the same for all women and I think that the fact that we feel pressure to look this way is pathetic. The pressure comes from positive reinforcement on looks like this. I think she still would have caught the eye without all the modifications. I understand and agree with you why fit people can be more attractive, even though I've never once dated someone for any particular physical appearance, but the rest just ruins it for me, which is why it was the first thing I said. If all the positive opinions are voiced every time a chick modifies her body in an extreme way then all women will see is the modifications, not the hard work at the gym. That's why I voice my opinion because I would never take a pic of myself like that, never post a pic like that for admiration reasons and never react positively to a picture like that. If I say nothing then it's neutral and I'm not neutral, not all opinions are positive or agree with the majority, that doesn't mean they shouldn't be voiced.

Jesus dude settle down! Haven't you ever heard of a personal opinion? Guys notice anything that makes enough of an effort to shove her sexuality in their face, I love to people watch and have seen. She does have a great physique, I'm not saying she's doesn't, I think her body's incredible. But if she was wearing tracky dacks and a hoody on, didn't have that tan covering her and no makeup, it would be a different story. In other words, I've see far far more attractive girls /with/ muscle that can catch the eye without having tattoos showing that point to their vagina and all that other stuf which is /only my personal opinion of taste/.

She only looks like that after she's been made up and airbrushed and probably hasn't eaten or drunk for a while. I bet if you saw her waking down the street with clothes on you wouldn't notice her.
