SevenofSeven Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 No dress shopping happened last night, but we did eat a truck load of salty popcorn, so weight is up this morning, but that's ok. Really tired, my body struggles with only four hours sleep and really weird dreams about child soldiers in the Republic of Congo. I know right, WTF, all I know is that when the alarm went off I was pretty relieved it was just a dream. Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

peelout Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Does it snow in Straylia? And if so, where do the kangaroos go? 1 Quote Current Challenge We are what we repeatedly do.

SevenofSeven Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Does Snow in 'Straya, but not here in the West. Where Thom the Ranger is they have mountain Rangers where it may snow and Victoria gets a good ski season going, but nothing like USA and Europe. 1 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

So unoriginal but it might work, get away from obsessing about food! Y'know, I really like it when people post about their shopping trips For some of us, that's the biggest adventure. I got a little sick of all the personal development, inside-out beautiful. It's kind of a fun change to switch it around and do outside work for awhile! 1 Quote <--<< Daughter of Artemis >>--> Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Stupidly went into town this morning at 1000, to pick up some essentials for the next couple of days. Silly. silly, silly, not only did I forget we had a major Easter tennis tournament this weekend, (which would explain the road blockages to the tennis club, yesterday) but being an extra long weekend and the weather turning we have what seems like every rubber necker in Western Australia in town! These crowds were close to on par with the crowds two days out from Christmas! WTF is wrong with people? I mean me..........I should have anticipated this but failed! Oh well the chore that should have taken an hour took 2, I hid behind my terminator t-shirt and RBF and survived! I saw a couple of other locals and they were doing exactly the same thing.

SevenofSeven Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 The Cube/Week3 Heavy Squat Saturday 26/03/2016 Warm Up: Stretches, moving about, silliness and BW stuffs. Heavy Squat: 1x5@31kg !x5@71kg 5x2@83kg (these felt really light) Front Squat: 2x3@56kg (these felt ridiculously good, no trouble getting out of the hole, no trouble keeping straight, just felt really bloody good) Pause at Parallel: 2x5@78.5kg (easy with a 2s pause) Good Mornings: 4x10@10kg Lunge: 4x20@BW (10 each leg this time, even without weight these were pushing it) RDL: 4x12@41kg Leg Extensions: 4x12@40kg Leg Curls: 2x5@40kg (hammies were not feeling it and just didn't want to push it) No ABS. This felt really good, bit pissed off with the Leg Curl failure but not going to stuff things up with unnecessary risks. no ABS but that's ok. I really need to get out and do the damned Bodybuilding bit. I guess Easter Sunday is as good a day as any to start with a workout! Thinking about posting a few pictures to get into the swing of things before the next Challenge starts. 2 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

SevenofSeven Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 So having slept on the news from Son1, it's good news! He could have done worse in his choice for a mate, and he has.

SevenofSeven Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Really had a shitty sleep, it is the first time I have had severe heartburn, thought it may have been a heart attack but, going through the list of signs and symptoms, no just heartburn! OMFG, the pain was unbearable, spent the night sitting in bed, by three got up to get a hot milky tea, which helped a wee bit. Just a horrendous condition. The blood pressure medication I am on has heartburn as a side effect but, it has never been like that! If it doesn't ease up soon, deadlifting is not going to be fun. Quote Wait! What............?

peelout Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 You're scaring me. BTW, since you are on bp meds, does your Dr know about your powerlifting program and the intensity of it?

BTW, since you are on bp meds, does your Dr know about your powerlifting program and the intensity of it? LOL, nothing to be scared of! Yes my Dr is aware that I lift but he is not aware of what it is I do. His whole opinion is lifting is not exercise. Cardio is exercise. So I guess I thought it was pointless even discussing it with him. I am also going to be seeing another Dr, one a little less rigid in thinking that scale weight is all about fat and BMI. I am mindful of being on these medications, but yet to suffer a dizzy spell or other signs of dying. I kinda cheat a little to, about an hour before I workout I take an aspirin, which makes the blood less sticky and is recommended for heart attack or chest pain. So I guess I am less likely to have a heart attack in the shed or Stoke out. 1 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
Juni0r83 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 the aspirin does reduce your risk of stroke or heart attack, but it also increases your risk of an hemorrhage, so please do be careful when self medicating. Not that I'm overly concerned about a single aspirin a few times a week. 2 Quote Dwarf Warrior I am today what I made myself yesterday, I will be tomorrow what I make of myself today.

SevenofSeven Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 So the new Challenge is up and yes doing another one! This time going to be adding a lot of pictures of everyday stuff, lifting and things! Let us see how this goes. I have a crappy phone camera and a crappy iPad camera and a little crappy camera we use for school projects, this could be interesting. 1 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
Leimanu Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I just used my little smartphone I bought at Wal-Mart and had to load pictures to Facebook, save it to my computer, upload to NerdFitness, and then put it in the picture in the post.
