SevenofSeven Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Saturday 10/10/2015Madcow Week 1 Deadlift Day.Warm Up:Well she was pretty warm to start with, been seeing the temperatures rise consistently the last couple of weeks! But we did skipping, and stretching and laughing.Squats:1x5@35kg1x5@45kg1x5@55kg1x5@65kgOHP:1x5@20kg2x5@25kg1x5@30kgDeadlift:1x5@60kg1x5@70kg1x5@95kg1x5@105kg (belted)Extra Stuffs:Bench:3x8@35kgCurls:3x8@15kgFront Tricep Raises:3x8@10kgTricep Overhead Extension:1x6@7.5kg each arm. I was pretty fried by the time I got to these, so only managed 1set instead of 3, the fear of dropping the dumbbell on my head was real!This was pretty good I thought. Wouldn't say that the 105kg deads were easy, but I could at least lock out this time, instead of it not even breaking the floor! Still going to need work on my set up with the belt. It squashes everything down below it which means a whole heap of stomach fat and extra skin is now getting between the top of my thighs and the bottom of my rib cage and a belt. Awkward is the simplest way to describe it. Happy to have done a workout though! 2 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

SevenofSeven Posted October 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Had Son1 and his GF and her family out for dinner last night. Mum is a nurse and it was kind of weird entertaining someone I work with, now they know my house is a mess, my garden sucks and my kids are very loud. The cloak of mystery is coming down I suppose, she knows a little more about me and mine other than very tall sons and a clean crisp uniform.Hmmm, am I ready for this? I don't know. 2 Quote Wait!

bigdude Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 no no no... football is the one with the funny shaped ball and traumatic brain injury. 2 Quote 100lb Weight loss goal: 25lbs as of Jan 1,2019 Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I agree! Soccer, only because with three codes all claiming the tag "football" it gets a wee bit confusing. To help with the confusion AFL, is what most Aussies call football. Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
Stonefist Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 no no no... football is the one with the funny shaped ball and traumatic brain injury. You mean the one where there's only one out of 11 players who actually touches the ball with his foot, and that only in special circumstances ? Nah, I'll keep referring to the one where everyone kicks the ball all the time as football, thanks. That other one can be handball, since that's what most of the guys on the field use.

Leimanu Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Wow, you some tough punches in your last few weeks, but it seems that you're keeping your head up. It's that rugged Aussie spirit! Let's ooh and ahh over your new gear. I love them, and you deserve it! Wow, a weight belt that's only been worn by you! I finally get to see your shed, too! So jealous that you get a shed. Woohoo, the new bag arrived today! Bit flash now [emoji3] While I can, my new mats and chalk! Looks like a humongous feta block.........hmmmm feta!

He is still doing really well.We went for a walk/jog this morning, he kept up pretty well despite getting a little wheezy after the second log leg. He's so cool though! 2 Quote Wait!

SevenofSeven Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Two days in a row Son6 and I have done the walk/jog! No breathing problems this morning, what a trouper. Had a dentist appointment, my mouth feels like I met Rhonda Rousey in a dark alley! Although my horrible front tooth is now pretty without rotten bits showing and I should be able to drink a smoothly without pain! My dentist is called Alice and she is fantastic! 2 Quote Wait!

bigdude Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 What kind of art? I do some photography and play at watercolors. I find them both de-stressing. Quote 100lb Weight loss goal: 25lbs as of Jan 1,2019 Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 We take art with one of our local artists, we are messing around with pastels, but have done charcoal, water colours and a little oil. All really cool, not one of us is in any way talented.......at all.....Nada!After art we ( Son6 and Son7 ) went to the city just to do nothing much at all, a little bit of a de-stressing after yesterday. Anyway ran into my bestest friend and hung out with her, her Son and her ex. We went to the Brunswick show because today had no plan. It was AWESOME! We had churro's, burgers, slushy and resultant brain freeze, and brought show bags, and plastic guns and just had fun!So just got home, no workout, but I am feeling heaps better, spent time with the lads and time with my bestie, life is good! 3 Quote Wait!
