AshPS Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Awesome job, Ash! Those are some impressive gains, for sure! And I know hard won, by the lack of sleep, etc.. always makes it harder to push, but you always seem to just go, and it's one of the main things about you that impresses me, constantly. You never give up! Even with adversity, and hardships, you ALWAYS do your workout. Super proud of you, Ash, keep it up! Awww, thank you buddy! Super proud and inspired by you! You have done awesomely with the workouts and posting for this mini challenge! Gives me the push I need to get mine in. And, looks like my being up late is rubbing off on you! lol Quote Level 6 Pixie Assassin Rangerish Adventurer Current Challenge: Guess What??

Just bringing it in with my favorite kiddos since the little insomniac will probably have us up anyway, lol! What about you? That sounds lovely! Well, not the insomnia, but beginning the new year with your family. If it's going to be like the last time, we'll be in bed way before midnight and snore right into 2014... We don't have any special plans for tonight, just dinner at some point - not too late, I didn't have lunch, so I'm mighty hungry already -, then probably watch a movie, talk a bit, read a bit, and when we're tired, go to bed... If it's like the last couple of years (or almost every year), it's going to be too foggy to see any fireworks, anyway. 1 Quote Hobbit Challenges: 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1My shiny new "battle" log - probably more of a plodding-along log, but hey, it's mine!

AshPS Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Leg Day (working sets only)Unilateral Leg Press (Bowflex): 4 sets- 12, 12, 10, 8 (200 lbs) ; then 2 sets of 20 (150 lbs)- Same weight as last week, but for one leg this weekSeated Calf Raises (Bowflex): 3 sets of 15 (200 lbs)- 50 lb raiseLunges (Bowflex): 3 sets of 20 (80 lbs)- 50 lb raiseDB RDL: 4 sets of 10 (40 lbs)- 10 lb raise Ok, I am so excited I can barely stand myself! I CRUSHED TODAY'S WORKOUT!!!!! :triumphant: :triumphant: That in itself is a reason to be excited, but it is not THE reason. No. See that 50 lb raise on the lunges? THAT is the reason! Let me explain. Last week I did 30 lbs on those and they were tough! I thought last week that I would raise it another 10 lbs this week and expected that to be hard. When it came time to do the lunges on the Bowflex I have to divide the total weight in half to load the rods on each side. So, I thought I did and then I did my first set. I thought, 'Wow, I am stronger this week, those weren't bad, I'll be able to raise that next week!' and I was happy. Then, while I was waiting the 2 minutes for my next set I realized.....I had loaded 40 lbs ON EACH SIDE! And they were easy!!!!! I was floored! But, that is not all. Nope. Before my hernia surgery I had maxed at 50lbs! I exceeded that today by 30 lbs!!!!!!! :triumphant: And the unilateral leg presses are my favorite way of doing those now. Plus, I used the same weight as last week for ONE leg! Wow, today was a good workout! I can't stop smiling! 1 Quote Level 6 Pixie Assassin Rangerish Adventurer Current Challenge: Guess What??
