Swooshie's Journal Adventures on a flat bench and other inappropriate gym behavior ;)

[RyouBakua]

nice goblet squats

(mbads about the hip)




sucks about about the unfriendly trainers.

im sure it would be different if i were there

[jjeane]

Did you walk or crawl out Swooshie? Well, you, no you proudly strutted out!
Awesome workout. Leg extensions at 200# Way to go.
Love the LA fitness trainers. That was the gym I went to in Houston. Yea, they like the women on the cardio or the light free weights and machines. No over 15# db please.
Sorry about your locker as well. Get the sign!!

[emergency]

nice leg work and great pics. sucks about the trainer issue.

[Luvdogs]

1) Legs are smokin' hot! Derriere too...
2) #1 most likely due to those super duper leg extensions!!
3) why, oh, why BOSU balls?????

I see trainers at my gym that put a 70 year old woman on a ball with 3lb db's. And the point is??? Oh, yeah, core stability...

[-H-]

H!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've really missed you and I think about you all the time!!! I'm so glad you're doing well! I need to e-mail you and we can catch up on everything! Grad school must be so rewarding though. I loved university! So proud of you for taking all of that on and finding a good balance with your family life ... and keeping up in the gym too! That's so awesome!

I think of you all the time, TOO! You continue to be an inspiration.
Thank you. <3 I am loving it all but soooo busy!!! Miss you all and hope to check in more.
Plugging along in the gym doing good- woohoo- I think my @ss is finally getting rounder, lol.
YES shoot me an email when you can!! I'd love to catch up more.
Also- awesome workouts and hot legs!!

[Raigs]

Calijoshoomer presses Did I miss the explanation on these?

Nice goblet squats

[Redfizz]

For some reason your announcement to the newbies made me smile.

Way to go on the squats!

[pharty]

Calijoshoomer presses Did I miss the explanation on these?

Nice goblet squats

Yes you did lol. Smith leg presses. A few of us are doing them now you should try!

SwooshSS--Holy mother on those leg extensions! I got 150/10/2 and nearly popped a vein today! I give up trying to catch you...maybe in a few years lol.
I will contribute to the Swooshie's Shyt plaque

[marathonmom262]

Swooshabambam!!!

You are totally fryin those hot legs girl! I think I've topped out at 130x20 on the leg ext and I was exhausted just reading your final superset!

I would totally chip in on that bejeweled plaque for locker #7 as long as you post piccies for us once it is officially installed

[Raigs]

Thanks for the Clarification. Smith leg presses are cool, I cant do those no smith machines at all

[jeezyreezy]

Fantastic workout swoosh! Legs are looking gooooood!!

[Echo814]

Swoooooshie! Your journal moves fast!

I'm totally jelly of the VS haul! I love their bras and I have 5 right now that I can't wear

Dayum! Your legs look freaking awesome! The rear view looks pretty darn good too Your workouts are paying off big time!

I'm glad that I am not going to the gym right now, all the newbies and chaos that they bring plus no patience being preggo probably wouldn't be good for them How dear they take your locker don't they know that only the Swoosh shall stow her sh!t in number 7? Silly people.

[Stncldsnake]

Great workout Swoosh and progress pics look NICE!!!!

[lexagon]

Quick fly by. Looking great Swoosh!
You would think with work being back to normal Lex would have more time .. but no. LOL

Have fun Swoosh!
Oh and Locker #9 is mine .. js

[mmater]

Nice leg extensions Swooshie, I iz impressed.

Sorry to hear about the gym shenanigans. I'm thankful my gyms have been quiet so far.

[gobbles23]

Nice leg workout Swooshie! No wonder your lower half is smokin'

I'm so happy I don't have to put up with gym shenanigans!

[swooshie]

nice goblet squats

sucks about about the unfriendly trainers.

im sure it would be different if i were there

Thanks, RB!

I'm kind of a smiley, wavey kind of person to everyone and it always makes me wonder about people who act like they've never seen you in their whole life when, in fact, they see you 4 times a week and have for a very long time. That's how our trainers act. That's how the front desk acts. That's how all of the employees at my gym act all the time to everyone! Worst customer service ever.

I have no doubt it would be different if you were here

Did you walk or crawl out Swooshie? Well, you, no you proudly strutted out!
Awesome workout. Leg extensions at 200# Way to go.

I suspect there's a teeny bit of strut in the Swoosh

Hey thanks! My legs were fried after that workout and I had some serious DOMS yesterday. Better today but, man, walking has been tough! Some of the workouts I see those trainers putting people through are ridiculous.

I'm thinking about that sign for sure!

nice leg work and great pics. sucks about the trainer issue.

Thanks E! Sometimes I think I'd like to have a trainer again, but there's not a single one at the gym I go to that I would ever consider hiring. Besides the employees, everything else about the gym is great and in a perfect location for me ... halfway between work and home.

1) Legs are smokin' hot! Derriere too...
2) #1 most likely due to those super duper leg extensions!!
3) why, oh, why BOSU balls?????

I see trainers at my gym that put a 70 year old woman on a ball with 3lb db's. And the point is??? Oh, yeah, core stability...

Thanks, Julia! I really am thrilled to see something good going on with them little twigs of mine! I think part of my problem in the past was I never liked leg day, so if I had to skip a workout for whatever reason, that was the one I always skipped ... or slacked on. I finally decided that not a whole lot was going to change unless I was consistent with my leg training and pushed hard ... and it's working....amazing!

Gotta work that core For the most part, our trainers put just about every single client through the exact same workout.....and it's not a good one.

I think of you all the time, TOO! You continue to be an inspiration.
Thank you. <3 I am loving it all but soooo busy!!! Miss you all and hope to check in more.
Plugging along in the gym doing good- woohoo- I think my @ss is finally getting rounder, lol.
YES shoot me an email when you can!! I'd love to catch up more.

I'm so glad you stopped by, H! I've been wondering how you've been. I'll send an e-mail to you this weekend!

Thanks

Calijoshoomer presses Did I miss the explanation on these?

Nice goblet squats

That's my made up name (I have my own language you know) for Smith Leg presses because CaliBakes, llahhsoj (Josh), and Boomer all taught me how to do them .... "Calijoshoomer" Presses! They are the bunz bonanza

I love those goblet squats!

For some reason your announcement to the newbies made me smile.

Way to go on the squats!

Hiya Red! I really wanted to keep going with those squats, but my hip was not cooperating one bit. Probably need to get into see my chiropractor and get a good crackin

Yes you did lol. Smith leg presses. A few of us are doing them now you should try!

SwooshSS--Holy mother on those leg extensions! I got 150/10/2 and nearly popped a vein today! I give up trying to catch you...maybe in a few years lol.
I will contribute to the Swooshie's Shyt plaque

I don't know why those leg extensions are kind of easy breezy for me it's not like anything else is!! Glad I got you on at least one lift

I'm getting that plaque

Swooshabambam!!!

You are totally fryin those hot legs girl! I think I've topped out at 130x20 on the leg ext and I was exhausted just reading your final superset!

I would totally chip in on that bejeweled plaque for locker #7 as long as you post piccies for us once it is officially installed

Hey ya MM!!

Fried was right. I was hurting yesterday. Walking up the three flights of stairs to my clinic was brutal!

Oh I would totally post up pictures of my locker plaque! My locker is right across from the sign that says "No Cameras" and that makes me smile every time I take pictures

Thanks for the Clarification. Smith leg presses are cool, I cant do those no smith machines at all

Don't you work out at home?

[swooshie]

Fantastic workout swoosh! Legs are looking gooooood!!

Hi Jeezy! Thanks!!!

Swoooooshie! Your journal moves fast!

I'm totally jelly of the VS haul! I love their bras and I have 5 right now that I can't wear

I was surprised my stash was truly that large ... and every single one is from VS! Love them!

Thanks! So happy about my leg progress! I don't often split up hams and quads, but that's what I did last week and I really liked it. I think I may stick with that split for a while. I felt like I got a better workout because I wasn't so fatigued by the end.

For the last few days no one has taken my locker ... so I think they listened!

Great workout Swoosh and progress pics look NICE!!!!

SB is killin it Thanks, Snake!!

Quick fly by. Looking great Swoosh!
You would think with work being back to normal Lex would have more time .. but no. LOL

Have fun Swoosh!
Oh and Locker #9 is mine .. js

A Lexi Fly By!!! Hey Lex!!! Awe, sure hope things calm down for you soon. We're locker neighbors!!

Nice leg extensions Swooshie, I iz impressed.

Sorry to hear about the gym shenanigans. I'm thankful my gyms have been quiet so far.

Thanks, Mater! Means a lot coming from you! I've seen your workouts!!!

The newbies seem to be congregating in the cardio area ... shocker! There were a heck of a lot of treadmills in use tonight!

Nice leg workout Swooshie! No wonder your lower half is smokin'

I'm so happy I don't have to put up with gym shenanigans!

Hi Gobbs!! Thanks! Swooshie no like shenanigans!!
