The Chronicles of Turkey!

Hoy! I didn't get my workout in last night. I wanted to, but the 'real' gym home was being lived in again and I really didn't want to supplement quad or horizontal push/pull at the mediocre gym. So I decided to wait until today instead Our friend and my brother are home today (they both live in the 'real' gym home...the other residents that are only there sometimes are friend's brother and girlfriend who I don't like intruding on) so going there for sure after work today to crush some weights and hang out for a bit I was, however, quite productive on my day off from the gym yesterday! I did laundry, gutted my clothes drawers, dusted, vacuumed, cleaned the room....! It was excellent.

Mkay! I'm off! Be back later with workout! Happy Tuesday!

Hey lady stopping in to say hi and looks like all is going well for training!

Thank you! Yes, things are going well!!

Slow-ish day here at work so secretly reading up on muscular hypertrophy/methods of inducing more damage without destroying the muscle by overloading it with crappy form/limited ROM (TUT, Rest-pause, partial reps, etc.) Learning about stretching the muscles during eccentric movements and such; it's time I started learning these things! I've made a few alterations to my workouts....lol!!! They're going to be quick and intense with minimized rest periods and really focus on stretching the muscles/performing full ROM with total MMC. Still doing BGB but thinking of incorporating a few 8x8 sets and rather than supersetting different muscle groups- try doing them with exercises that incorporate most of the same muscles, and try single leg movements one after the other without rest to create more of a metabolic/stressful environment with awesome ROM. Today's brutality will be BSS with front foot up on a plate for more ROM, one leg after the other without rest, Step-ups to bench with partial reps at the end of each set, 8x8 rope curls, and higher rep cable SLDL supersetted with walking lunges at the end, lol!!! I might die today. Going to go read more

I do TUT! It's the greatest thing ever. Do you subscribe to Alan Aragon's research review? I know you're bored at work and that would definitely give you something to do at work. And your pics the past couple of pages have been on point. I definitely need to visit our neighbors to the North some day

[vanillabn]

Sounds like a great day at work!! lol. I love doing research.

Good luck with the workout today - I'm sure you'll survive, haha, but that sounds very hard!

Interesting! I need to learn more about it/how to progress using that method and such No I don't. I always wanted to but I'm too cheap! lol! I think it would be worth it though

[gobbles23]

So today (mostly out of boredom..lol! I swear, these last two days...) I decided to go back for another free dexa scan Also mainly because my calcium wasn't the greatest and I want to keep on top of that. My nails aren't the strongest. But it will be interesting to see the results and compare them to two years ago! I'm booking it for the 18th of July since that's the weekend we are going to a friend's cabin and so we are taking that day off from work. It will be in the morning sometime between 9:00 and 11:00.

Great workout Lori! Awesome job on the chinups.

Why do you get the DEXA scans for free? Just curious. I've never gotten one - I had an appointment once but had to cancel it and then never went back I think it would be super interesting to know!

Our University wants volunteers so the med students can learn things! You also have to fill out this giant survey about what you eat/how frequently, what your lifestyle consists of, etc I'd do it more often but big scans can increase risks of cancer due to the large amount of radiation

[dreahere]

Will be *very* interested in your results.

I know, right!? lol!!!!!

[gobbles23]

Well, I am sore. lol!!! My legs are super sore, my butt is ridiculously sore, my chest has been brutalized. It's good Today is Stephen's brother's birthday so we're picking him up something after work. Since we'll be over there anyway I might get in a quick vertical push/pull workout, or I may rest, depending on how I feel. Tomorrow is Friday and there probably won't be a workout then, or Saturday because we're always gone all day, and then party Saturday night, so it might be my best bet to get another one in before the weekend! Happy Thursday! So close now!!!

[vanillabn]

I can imagine you're sore! I'm doing the same thing, trying to pack those workouts in before a crazy weekend Good choice!

By the way, you look A-MAZ-ING in your pic... great work Lori!

Haha! I don't think it's gong to happen though; my body is too destroyed all over...lol! I figure I'll do plenty of foam rolling/stretching tonight and get Stephen' to massage my hips/glutes/lower back and hamstrings and hope for the best come tomorrow. The more the day passes the more sore I am! It's crippling! I'm figuring hammies and triceps tomorrow, vertical on Sunday.

Thanks so much!!! I am happy to recomp from here on in for sure once the summer is over!!

[gobbles23]

Found this and it looks interesting! Putting the link here as a reminder...wonder how it'd feel? I have all the ingredients to rig this up and my hips are nothing but bone now so I may try them!
