The Most Loathed Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Have you been giving your patients super powers again? You're only supposed to use the Oil of Unobtainium for emergencies. It's an unfortunately side effect that everyone who gets it discovers their secret power. $1000 for a powerlifting coaching course seems kind of questionable. I can't judge too harshly as some of the kettlebell courses run close to as much but I don't pay for those either. 1 Quote Current Challenge Link to comment

Hahaha, not sure about superpowers, but they are alive when we get them to the hospital........so win!!!!!!!!! Only $645 for the course, but the extra bits blow it out. Maybe next year! 1 Quote Wait!

SevenofSeven Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Oki doki, what I did today! Madcow Week6, Wednesday, 29.06.2016 Warm Up: Was decidedly nicer than last night, the sun was coming straight into the shed so managed all my workout in the sun!!! Skipping, stretching and moving benches and racks around to get optimum Vit D absorption! Squats: 1x5@50kg 1x5@65kg 2x5@75kg OHP: 1x5@25kg 1x5@30kg 1x5@35kg 1x5@40kg Deadlift: 1x5@80kg 1x5@90kg 1x5@105kg 1x1@120kg 2x2@120kg Needed to break that last set down from 1x5 because my legs were soooooo tired. I have also noticed my shoulders rounding forward on the beginning of the lift.........not good. I do think I did ok though, this is the first time I have done this weight for reps, so win! It has also opened my eyes to my totally puny upper body strength. Accessories here we come. Gym Buddy has also invited us over for dinner, pizza and maybe a beer.........we'll see! Yum, homemade pizza. 1 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

SevenofSeven Posted July 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 No workout today, we went to the city and brought soccer boots and skins for Son3. While in the sports store, Son3 made comment about how the women are allowed to wear full length skins, under their regulation soccer shorts. Shop assistant helping us said it was because women are weak, Son3 says yeah that's right, women are weak, aren't they Mum, I just laughed! Yep we sure are. 2 Quote Wait! What............?

Why thank you V! Ok so winter where I am in the Southwest of Western Australia our minimums get down to single digits, every now and then we will throw out a negative or two. For my area during the day our maximums might hit the mid teens 13-17 degrees C. This doesn't account for frost and wind chill factor, which kinda just keeps the cold going. I do believe you are right about our winter being fairly equal to your summers, especially where I live. In other areas though in WA, we get negatives down mid south west and it will bearly get below low 20's up in the North. So our Winter is as diverse as our Summer. I am definitely a Summer person! http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_009510.shtml 1 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted July 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Alrighty so I have been thinking...........yes a dangerous pass time for one such as myself. I have though come to the conclusion I have to pick a plan and stick to it! I have said I want to do a competition, this has not changed, I have said I need to lose weight, that has not changed, I have said I would like to lose fat and see the muscle under my walrus like exterior, this has not changed, I would like to Deadlift 150kg and squat 130kg by the end of the year, this has not changed. It has come to a point where I need to start something, rock the shit out of it and move onto the next thing. With so many "I wants" floating around I am losing at everything. I have not really started anything, or if I have I have not seen it through. Soooooooo, the future is going to look like this: 1. Order my goals into sequential, doable things. 2. Start and complete these things in order, do not run after a new shiny "I want" until everything is completed. Sounds easy, looks easy but this essentially is a 12-18 month plan! WHAT!!! This is how my near future is going to look like: 1. Lose 25 kilo which will bring me down to 83kg which puts me squarely into the weight class I would like to lift in. However this is not going to happen over night. I am hoping to be fairly close to this come February, by which time I should have been a member of the IPF Australia for 6 months, and able to compete. I will have to sign up soon! 2. Hypertrophy program for at least 12 weeks after the completion of my current Madcow. This will include diet and taking on a high protein, low carb approach to food. Body Trim here in Australia was a good way to do this and it worked for me before. This tying in with #1 and weight loss. I don't track foods well as it takes time I can ill afford during my day, but I do have food diaries that I will revisit, because having a log of foods allows you to see exactly what is entering the pie hole! 3. Walking to increase cardio because I just don't cardio.......at all.......ever! I have a couple of trails around here that are perfect for this, and have worked beauftifully for me before, why I stopped comes down to inclement weather, but you know fuck it! Excuses have to go, I just need to do it!!! 4. Take a look at how things are going at the end of each month. This will include progress pictures, argh! I do need a physical reference because I just get lost. There it is the new beginning of a more focused way of living, lifting and smashing life! TL;DR Lose weight, lose fat, walk like a fucking Olympian, sign up for IPF Australia, look like Larissa Reis and eat all the good things! 4 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
