Good morning Tiffany! Happy FRIDAY!! Nice leg workout.

Just out of curiosity, why are you doing back and front squats? Do you find they work the legs differently?
I find front squats hit the quads, specifically the Vastus Medialis, more so than back squats. It also takes a lot holding up the weight so my shoulders and chest get used too.

'cuz Layne does 'em? (guessing)
They also hit the front quad differently.
:D

Sum bish Tiffany, all that hard work and no comments on the pain??
Weight training is my poison of choice:p. I think I'm learning to enjoy the aches and pains of training. I recover very well even though I get ~5 hrs of sleep.

I'm glad I took your advice and increased protein.

Very nice job on the SLDL's!
The heart rate was 90% of max after these. The extra weight was brutal but fun.

'squit isn't the only one who can help you with posing.;)
I know you're willing but I don't want to burden you while you're dieting.

Props for doing front squats Tiffany, happy Friday!
Thank you Ed.

Morning, Tiffany! Great job on the workout! :)
Good morning Diane! Thanks a lot.

I hope you have a fantastic weekend! We'll be in your neck of the woods as Brittany gets her dress fitted and drags me from store to store to store shopping for wedding "essentials."
That sounds like a lot of fun:p.

Is it raining there?
It's raining now but is supposed to stop around noon. Tomorrow is supposed to be a sunny 61 degrees. Have a safe trip!

Back Squat
10x65, 10x85, 8x115, 5x135, 4x145

I'm feeling better about my back squats...finally.

You should! Great squats!

DB Walking lunges
2x20 steps holding 30s

How can you possibly do this after all those squats? I'd fall over on the first lunge! :D

I'm a goof ball too Penney. After I got my 6th rep on CGBP, I jumped up and pumped my fists in the air. I think I woke up the cardio bunnies;).

We should have an O35 travel training team.

LMAO at the cardio bunny wake up call! http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c311/slanda/thxxxxxxx.gif

OV35 travel training team would be so cool!!!!

Hey Tiffany! This caught my attention... this is what I need to focus on to keep knee trouble away. My kneecaps want to ride outward (well the one that I didnt have fixed with surgery), so I really need to keep the VMO strong. I have been thinking about adding front squats... time to give them a shot! ;)

Great leg work! Wow... I would sure work out with you too! Texas is a fair ways off, but I am still working that Huntsville thing! :D

I actually like front squats better than the traditional back squats. I like what the exercise has done for my teardop and my knees. I played sports in high school and damaged my left knee but have no problems now. Losing weight certainly helped but I've gained a lot strength as well.

I can also go deeper on the front squats. The only drawback would be the strain on the front delts and collarbone. After my first few workouts, I had fresh bruises on my delts. I've since found a comfortable spot and have been rocking out reps. Try them out and let me know how it goes.

Great leg work! Wow... I would sure work out with you too! Texas is a fair ways off, but I am still working that Huntsville thing! :D

I really hope you can get to Huntsville. I'm in Alabama frequently so we could definately workout. Does your wife still train?

Thanks Brian. I read your journal to stay pumped!

just saying...

I prefer Corona or a top shelf Margarita...yum. I used to be able to hold my own with alcohol. Now, I'm a little tipsy after one drink thus making me a cheap date;). I will have to try the India Pale Ale after my weight loss contest.

just noticed this one too.

LOL, thanks for understanding me Jon. Training would be awesome after a good beat down or tongue lashing.

Good morning all and happy Monday.

Today is cardio only. I walked for 32 mins this morning on the treadmill. I'm trying to burn 300-350 ea. cardio session so my numbers will be a little odd from time to time.

I am thinking of going the high reps (~15 reps) route to switch things up a bit. I like what I'm doing now but I think it's time for a change to keep my body guessing. I'll be doing a little research tonight to figure out what I want to do. IF I change my routine, I will post it for feedback.

I have lost 5.6 lbs and 2.5" from my waist over the last four weeks. I am very pleased with the loss in the waist area because of the health risks associated with excess abdominal fat. I also lost in my chest:(, shoulders and hips.

I took pics last night as part of the online contest I entered in Jan. I will wait and post those after I take my eight weeks pics. I'm going for the dramatic effect;).

Have a fantastic day!

Good morning everyone!

I am working on about four hours of sleep today. After much tossing and turning, I got up at 3:00:eek:. Sleep was not happening for me. I took advantage of the early rising and did cardio before weight training.

I threw in a few PRs too;).

Cardio/Arms

Cardio
40 min incline walk

SUPERSET 1:
BB Curl
8x50, 6x55, 7x55, 3.5x60 PR

CGBP
10x95, 6x115, 3x120 PR, 14x95

SUPERSET 2:
BB Skullcrusher
6x60, 5x60, 5x55

60 is a PR but form was off. I had to use an EZ bar and each rep felt awkward. I lowered the weight and switched to a straight bar.

Inc curl
2x6x22.5, 8x22.5 PR

Increased weight and reps.

V bar pushdown
50x17.5

Have a great day!

Sunday's workout: Back/Cardio

Chins:D
1xbw, 1/2 xbw

On a whim I decided to try an unassisted chin as my first exercise. I was able to go up fairly easy and it shocked me. I tried another one but couldn't pull myself all the way up. The rep was a little ragged but I will take it. I was so pumped after this! Damn, I'm strong:p:).

Asst Chins
2@25lbs, 1@25lbs, 4@40lbs, 3@40lbs

I was too aggressive after the bw chins.

BB Rows
2x8x95, 12x85, 15x65, 20x45

Lowered weight to get more reps and concentrate on form.

HS Iso Lateral Low Row

Plates only ea side
20x25, 15x45, 12x0, 8x70, 6x75, 20x45

WG Pulldowns
8x100, 12x90, one set no rest: (12x85, 8x70, 12x55, 25x40), 4x120

Wtd Hypers
4x10x45, 12x25

Cardio
5 min elliptical
20 min stepmill
5 min bicycle

Have a great day all and enjoy the Super Bowl!

OMG!!!!!! Congrats on the unassisted chin Tiffany. You so rock :D I knew you could do it, the signs have been there for some time.

I have lost 5.6 lbs and 2.5" from my waist over the last four weeks. I am very pleased with the loss in the waist area because of the health risks associated with excess abdominal fat. I also lost in my chest, shoulders and hips.
Congratulations are in order for the 2.5" lost in the waist, and the 5.6 lbs. Yay! :D

Since our breasts are basically fatty tissue, when you lose fat, you lose some in the boobies! To some, it's good, to others, frustrating ... but I'd rather be lean than have big boobies anyway.

Layne's diet is definitely working for you. After I cut some more, I am going to look at Layne's diet again. Maybe I'll get strong again!

You rock Tiffany! :D

Fat burners can definately affect sleep... when I tried Lipo 6, i had to take it before 2 PM! LOL

Sure fire way to sleep I have found (I have issues myself)... take melotonin about an hour before you go to bed followed by cottage cheese (I mix various things in it, vanilla and splenda if I am going lowcal), then ZMA right before going to bed. Lights out! :)

Great work Tiffany! I am seeing a 'V' in your new avi! Cool! :D

4 hours of sleep, I would be dead. Of course you are barely over 35 lol so you can get away with it.

LOL. I was happy that I didn't have meetings today. I was in a fog for a while.

Congrats on all the PR's! Let's see, lack of sleep = Cardio + PR's. I'm pretty sure that equation never works for me. Another testament of your overall strength. ;)

Thanks Ty. I'm not sure what's going on with me but I will take it. It seems like once I get to the gym, I'm focused and energized.

Hi Tiffany!! I just noticed the new avi... look'n good!
Thanks a lot Mark, I appreciate it.

OMG!!!!!! Congrats on the unassisted chin Tiffany. You so rock :D I knew you could do it, the signs have been there for some time.
Thanks so much Penney. You knew it before I did that's for sure. My lats are so sore.

Congratulations are in order for the 2.5" lost in the waist, and the 5.6 lbs. Yay!

I'm pleased with the inches. My fat is getting softer and flabby but I know that's short term.

Since our breasts are basically fatty tissue, when you lose fat, you lose some in the boobies! To some, it's good, to others, frustrating ... but I'd rather be lean than have big boobies anyway.
My boobies were never huge but they look better because of the muscle I've built. Why can't we have it all:p?

Layne's diet is definitely working for you. After I cut some more, I am going to look at Layne's diet again. Maybe I'll get strong again!
You'll get there Penney. Work on small increases each week.

I tweaked Layne's diet and increased good fats. So I'm eating high protein, moderate fats and low carbs. My macros average 48/33/19 and it's working.
You rock Tiffany! :D
Thank you Penney. We're both doing very well.

LOOKING GREAT Tiff . You lost 5.6 lbs and 2.5" from your waist over the last four weeks WAY TO GO I am sooo Happy for you :D
Thanks Rosann! Stay tuned for more changes.

Fat burners can definately affect sleep... when I tried Lipo 6, i had to take it before 2 PM! LOL

I don't take caffeine after 12PM. I started the fat burner, Dialene 4, today. How was the Lipo 6 for you?

Sure fire way to sleep I have found (I have issues myself)... take melotonin about an hour before you go to bed followed by cottage cheese (I mix various things in it, vanilla and splenda if I am going lowcal), then ZMA right before going to bed. Lights out! :)
I may give that a go Darren. Thanks for the tip

I love my Lipo6, Tiffany. :) I only take it on lifting days now -- so four days a week and I only have one. It gives me quite a buzz.

I was a total druggie during contest prep -- I had one Lipo6 when I woke up, one at 11:00 and one at 2:00. Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Fat burners aren't so good for your adrenals, so I wouldn't get too hooked on them and definitely cycle them (says the druggie).

The guys at Scivation recommend 8-12wks on and a few weeks off. I'm starting off with a very low dosage and will shorten my cycle. I was thinking 2-4 weeks on, 1-2 off and repeat.

I like your thinking much better. The guys at Scivation sell supps, right? :D

I think overall you should only use them for about 12 to 16 weeks (if at all) and only do that a couple of times a year.

I was told not to use them unless I absolutely felt like I needed them, but I absolutely feel like I need one before I lift and do afternoon cardio after having done pre-breakfast cardio earlier. :D :p

I really don't know that they help me burn fat that much anyway. I think of them more as an energy booster.

Good morning everyone!

I am working on about four hours of sleep today. After much tossing and turning, I got up at 3:00:eek:. Sleep was not happening for me. I took advantage of the early rising and did cardio before weight training.

I threw in a few PRs too;).

Cardio/Arms

Cardio
40 min incline walk

SUPERSET 1:
BB Curl
8x50, 6x55, 7x55, 3.5x60 PR

CGBP
10x95, 6x115, 3x120 PR, 14x95

SUPERSET 2:
BB Skullcrusher
6x60, 5x60, 5x55

60 is a PR but form was off. I had to use an EZ bar and each rep felt awkward. I lowered the weight and switched to a straight bar.

Inc curl
2x6x22.5, 8x22.5 PR

Increased weight and reps.

V bar pushdown
50x17.5

Have a great day!

Hi Tiffany! I've found that low carbs tend to only affect me after a few days (mostly because of all the stored glycogen in the muscles / liver).

Dialene 4 is my very first fat burner:p:). I thought it was important for me to consistent with nutrition before I introduced a fat burner.

I'm taking it twice a day, before breakfast and six hours later, per instructions. I'm using a very low dosage to assess tolerance. The niacin flush is pretty cool.

I've only been taking it since Tuesday. So far, I haven't experienced the afternoon energy drop. I also have a feeling of calmness. I am not sure if this is due to the fat burner or my balanced emotions (no PMS). One side effect is increased thirst possibly due to the cayenne pepper and/or caffeine.

Strawberries are :cool: and versatile. I like strawberries and angel food cake for dessert.

Since I had not taken a day off in three weeks, I rested yesterday. I felt great this morning and worked legs.

Legs/Cardio

Preworkout cardio: 36 min walk, no incline 3.6-4.2 speed

I don't have time to do cardio after weights during the week so I got up earlier to do cardio.

I did high rep work to change things up a bit.

Seated Leg Press
25x150, 20x210, 15x230, 15x250, 20x270

Smith Lunges
Plate wt only:

12x100, 2x10x120, 15x70

I wanted to do Front Squats but both racks were taken by people actually squatting:p. I could have done them on the Smith but went with lunges instead.

SS Leg Ext/Leg Curl
Leg Ext
15x130, 12x130, 10x135

Lying Leg Curl
15x80, 12x85, 9x90

I was drenched in sweat after this workout. I did 2 unassisted chins too;).

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Ha,ha -- I told Brian I was trying to think of something I really liked to give up for Lent. It was difficult because I've already given up all my food goodies and wine. He said I absolutely could not give up sex. :D

Maybe I should give up cardio. I like cardio. Really. :p

Oh -- and my legs are definitely tightening up from the high reps. I think it's the only thing that's ever made them do that so quickly. Too bad I much prefer lower reps and heavy. :p

Brian is a smart man! I haven't had alcohol since Aug/Sep of last year and my diet is in check. I had to sacrifice the only other thing I enjoy:p.

I like going heavy with lower reps. High reps wear me out but they are effective.

FRIDAY'S WORKOUT

Good morning and happy Friday!

Since I had not taken a day off in three weeks, I rested yesterday. I felt great this morning and worked legs.

Legs/Cardio

Preworkout cardio: 36 min walk, no incline 3.6-4.2 speed

I don't have time to do cardio after weights during the week so I got up earlier to do cardio.

I did high rep work to change things up a bit.

SS Leg Ext/Leg Curl
Leg Ext
15x130, 12x130, 10x135

The real Tiffany showed up and stayed a while. She's the one who's mean as a provoked bulldog, the one who's quick tempered, the one who's about results and the one doesn't accept failure. She whipped me into shape and we went in for more:).

Strong finish there, Tiffany. Nice attitude and way to kick your own butt. :)

Thanks Jay. My old trainer told me that I was one of his best clients because of the attitude I brought to each session. He used me as an example for others to follow. I just chalked it up to me doing my best.

Happy Monday!

This morning was cardio with Xtend, Dialene 4 and coffee:D. I am in better shape because I had to increase the speed so my heart rate would increase. I fought the urge to run and ending hr was 122 bpm.

Cardio
50 min walk at speeds of 3.5-4.2 mph and 1% incline. My lower back is a little sore so I kept the incline low.

Have a wonderful day!I admire anyone that can do cardio in the morning!

I have to work twice as hard at it now to get the same results that I did 6 months ago. It used to be easy to get my heart to 125-135 bpm, now I have to train way outside of my "comfort zone" to achieve those rates.

Hiya MaryAnne. Dialene 4 is the first fat burner I've tried. I like the niacin flush that occurs about 20 mins after taking it. I seem to get a nice energy boost without the crash effect.

I'm not alive at that hour ;) So funny, I remember when you were working out in the evenings, Tiffany, and I worked out in the am I like morning wo's, but I don't like getting up super early
I'll do the AM thing as long as I can. I can get other things done in the evening but it does take some adjustment.

Great job on the cardio torture! :D
Thanks! I wrote in my notebook to push a little harder next time.

Morning Tiffany! http://www.angelfire.com/nb/kazuo/img/sm_hi.gif

You are a tough lady!!

I've been a bad boy lately, away from journal too much....so I might not be making any sense. Like half talking to myself...sort of.

Our body not always can show the progress it is making, but it is always trying to adapt and doing its best and actually making progress in a different way.

Rebuilding/reparing our connective tissues, recharging CNS and giving a needed rest to internal organs, which it couldn't do while we are making constant progress. Muscle is the one which recover first and fast, other parts always are lagging behind, it makes sense, a racing car pulls into pit TO WIN, it has to.

Well, always easier to say this to others....haha.

My legs and back are sore from Wednesday's workout. I think my body responded to the full body workout. I might throw in a full body workout just to switch things up a bit.

I did 28 min of cardio this morning:

2 min warm up
6 min jog
14 min HIIT--please make the pain stop:p.
4 min jog
2 min cool down

I turned up the HIIT intensity and my lungs and legs were not too happy. I was very pleased with my effort and the nice sweat puddles:eek::).

No likey, but did as I was told. :p I try to alternate periods of more cardio (cutting time) with periods of less cardio (3 X 30 or so a week). I suppose I sort of do HIIT at times because I use the random setting on the stairmaster. The crazy thing is very randon, however, as it switches intensity every 10 seconds.

I agree -- genetics!! I hate training mine. I trained them hard and heavy for years -- and still no ball muscle. If I get extra lean, I get a line of separation down the side. That's it. It's like my calve muscles are one long solid muscle that are shaped the way they're shaped and there's not a damn thing I can do about it.
How often do you train calves now? I get so dang bored training them...go figure.

I've been genetically blessed with decent calves. I know they can be better and I need to work them more often.

Sometimes emotions come up, seemingly for no reason. Logic is a nice big comfortable security blanket, but there are times we need to be in touch with our emotions. Listen to them! :)

I had a very good run tonight on the treadmill. I ran 3.5 miles in 33 mins which is fast for me. The endorphins really helped:D. I did think about getting a pizza on the way home but the treadmill was much better:p.

I took a back picture tonight to help gauge progress. The following pictures are almost a month a part. The first one was taken tonight and the second one was taken on 1/21. I think I'm a little leaner but it could be the lighting.

Dunno why, but even though I used to be a runner, I now hate the treadmill - and would never have the patience to do 33 mins.

Yet it's probably the best indoor cardio there is - so good job!

Not only are you leaner (I see a difference in your waist) but your shoulders are developing nicely :D I see more definition in your arms as well.

You look great, Tiffany! :D

I definitely think you're looking leaner!! You can really see it around your waistline. Great job, Tiffany!! Ain't it fun? :D I love the lifting part, but I honestly wish sometimes that a Boston Creme donut was good for me. :p

Keep up the great work!!

I tried the same 'pose' so I could compare apples to apples. Thanks for the kind words too.

I just noticed that my little Lexie is in one of the pics.

You look great, Tiffany! :D
Thank you Penney!

Good morning Jay, I will add your vote! Thank you.

I definitely think you're looking leaner!! You can really see it around your waistline. Great job, Tiffany!!
Thanks Diane. I am finally seeing the results around my waist. I lose in my chest, butt and hips first. The waist is the last to go...yay!

Ain't it fun? :D I love the lifting part, but I honestly wish sometimes that a Boston Creme donut was good for me. :p
You can have the donuts, give me the chips, pizza and cheese;).

Keep up the great work!!
I shall!

Wow, thanks again. I am working on a cool V taper.

Thanks, I think:p. It's nice to be fap worthy:D!

Nice progress my dear! You're going to be kicking some serious a$$ in your omp!
I hope the mind stuff is done and you're back to 100%. I hate the mind stuff too.
I really want to do well whenever I step on stage. Even though I have A LOT of work to do, I am eager to see what's under the fat.

The mind stuff is much better. I'm been spending more time in prayer and that has help tremedously.

Good Morning, Tiffany!

Great workout description! I usually sleep well after those....
Good morning handsome, I slept very well!

Good morning Tiffany! Your new pic is showing some great progress! Nicely done :)

Thanks Kaz. I haven't done direct trap work in over a year. It's nice to see and feel the firmness.
