Hermione Gainser Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 It may take me a little while to source as I don't currently have a purple spandex suit. I have black, orange, burgundy (merlot), green and neon green. May take me a little while to source one, but I'll see if I can find purple. I also think my hair is long enough to feather with a little hair gel and a blow dryer. Maybe this will be my new project. Way to go on the lifts... Holy awesome colorful array of spandex! I'm pretty sure if I could wear colorful spandex regularly I would. And I would also be more inclined to be a superhero... okay..villian. New project-yes! I'm excited for that You NEED to get yourself a rumble roller - it's a whole new level of awesome. Just don't scratch the couch! Oh lawdy! I saw the link you posted of that thing... I nearly had to be alone with my computer. It's definitely on the list. I make no guarantees re: couch scratching though Heh, a spezzy. That's awesome Laura. Next session BW, right? Right? YES! I'm so frakkin excited to lift myself off the floor (so to speak). And then so excited to lift more than me! Woo! WOO! Wow.. sorry.. getting a little too amped up here... Woah, awesome. You are unstoppable. Keep it up!Thanks!

Hermione Gainser Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I am forever hijacking people's shiz so feel free to hijack mine! And I concur: Best. Signature. Ever. When I do fast paced I just do assortments of movements...jab, cross, dip, cross, hook, roll, body, head, spin... jab, hookx3, roll, body, body, head, head... some one-two-three combos, some slips, some fake blocks, rock aways, cake walks, upper cut work, foot work... whatever keeps me moving. I just pretend I'm beating the living shit out of someone. When I add the weights I keep it to simple throws. Lots of one-two-three since the addition of weight is meant to increase the speed of the punch. Best form I can manage. Me too. Miss it so much.

I'm glad you cats and kittens like it and we all know The Notebook should be in everyone's home at all times. I could possibly be conned into starting a log but historically I never really keep up with forum based logs. My workout journals are still analog (using a.. notebook omg) and tend towards looking like a psycho killer's ravings more often than not. Not sure the world needs to see that heh. And that should mean something coming from the guy willing to put his affinity for The Notebook out there. Quote Eat. Sleep. High bar squat. | Strength is a skill, refine it.

ETFnerd Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 jd, it's ok to flash your vulnerable side. There is a fine line between flashing and suffocating us with it. Obviously I'm not one to say he knows where that line is, but... at the end of the day I guess you'll do whatever the f*** you want... ...started out with a point to make and sort of lost it along the way...

Hermione Gainser Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Okay you guys... I'm going to post something in a thread that is completely relevant to the thread topic. I know, it's okay... it's just this once...Workout! Update! 12/155x5Squat: 105 <---woot! and holy frak.Bench: 75Row: 85**This was my third time doing rows at 85. I got all the reps up to my chest area HOWEVER I feel really...spastic... doing them. And I might be a little of perfectionist. So.. I'm wondering if I should deload (since this was my third) and go up again or go up. I mean.. maybe these aren't supposed to feel right. Maybe it's just a weird lift. I've had my form taped-it's good. The weight is coming up.. it just feels weird. Thoughts?Farmer walk: 35 twice around the gym **anyone else get super puffy forearms doing this? I have to loosen my HRM watch when I do these. Ouch.Tabata:-Box jumps -Skiers (I'm not sure that's what they're called, but that's what they remind me of) I tried to find a video but since they are obviously not called skiers I had no luck. The closest I found was this. The step is higher for "skiers" (4 instead of 1) and instead of stepping up with both feet you start with one foot on the bench then jump over and tap your other foot on top.. continue. That maybe makes sense.

Shortkaik Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I'm at 85 on rows too. It is definitely not my favourite lift, it may in fact be behind the deadly OHP in terms of my favourite lifts. It just doesn't feel good. But, if your form is good, your not hurting yourself, and you are able to do the weight, keep loading it on! Quote Mmm... kaik.Twitter - flickr Link to comment
Mama T Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 nice workout, lady! and congrats on upping the squats as well. who's a badass? you ah! also, i'm so super jealous of your rows. i'm at 50lbs, and just now feeling ready to move up to 55. and i think rows in general are just weird. i mean, how often are you doing that motion on a daily basis? not a lot (right?). as for The Claw, i get that too! i have to force myself to open them up. but the imagery of you trying to high five and bringing up a claw is preeetty hilarious.
