Swooshie's Journal. Countdown to 60. The Old Lady Lifts

[Tikibeast]

5'6" IS NOT THAT SHORT!!!!


(I thought I was over my anger issues but apparently I'm still hollering a lot. oops)

That's what I'm saying!

We're planning on raising a basketball player. The fiancee is the shorter of her sisters at 5'11, her dad is 6'8, and I'm 6'1 so I feel like our odds are good

One of my best friends has a family like that, her baby brother is the shortest in the family at 5'10 or something like that but he's 15 or so...

I don't dance-dance but I move a bit between sets and I knew I did it but I didn't know OTHER PEOPLE knew I did it. Until PLer Dude walks by and says "way to keep your HR up!". Oops.

50s! Nice work! I pulled 40s the other day and felt like SUCH a big girl for pulling those off the rack!

Can you imagine if we all worked out together? Probably be some injuries from everyone trying to keep up with everyone else

I got a chuckle off of this one, I can imagine P doing a little mambo foot work between sets.

Hey Dubs

I can't drink the stuff on its own, but if I mix it up in my morning protein shake, it's tolerable. My morning shake is Chocolate protein powder, egg whites, powdered dirt (Advanced Greens Plus) which is a very strange green/brown color, and a handful of blueberries. My shake turns the lovely color of poo water......."bottoms up" takes on a whole new meaning.

I don't remember the last time I heard/read anybody drinking raw eggs since the world decided Salmonella was the new Ebola...

Listen. My azz is nastee. NASTEE! I'm unsure of how I don't let 'em rip all the time at the gym! Srs. Though I did once (nothing crazy) when I was on the Captain's Chair doing leg raises and I nearly busted a gut laughing at myself! So I told Kim she might want her own room at The Arnold. I did.

Well if that's the case you definitely need to come to the O.

Well, for starters, beefcake is only 22

Uncertain why this is relevant...

Ya'll are scaring me.

TEE. EMM. EYE.

Really? I find it to be a pleasant change of pace since I'm usually the gassy one in the group of friends/family...

You can find me in the fields, harvesting my grains.

Amish Paradise?

[thehobbes]

Yeah I put off the whole going to the doc when I'm sick until Mondays too. If it's the weekend my freaking foot could be falling off but I somehow feel 100x better when I'm not at work, lol.

That detox stuff scares me, I can't believe people put themselves through that ridiculousness. Want to lose weight? Quit drinking a 2L of Pepsi every day and get some water in there damnit! Don't even get me started on these idiots who drop their intake to 1k a day... stupid people make me rage. /rant

Well, look who finally showed up No silly, I use Egg Beaters....it's pasteurized!!

Don't even get me started on that absurd HCG Diet

I heard mention in Kim's log that there was gas talk so I figured I'd be right at home. You use egg beaters? I hadn't even thought of that...have you tried them in a standard shake? IE just milk and protein powder, if so did you notice the egg substitute (I can't see them as real eggs) affecting the taste drastically?

Welcome

I can't even taste the Egg Beaters in my shake. It makes a bit thicker consistency, but that's about it. Make sure you just get the plain egg whites Egg Beaters (they are real eggs, just pasteurized). Some of them are seasoned and that would just be plain yucky! The one I buy just says: "Whites" at the top of the label then "Egg Beaters" below. It mixes just fine in a shaker cup too.

^^^ THIS gets me fired up faster than just about anything these days! My neighbors were all on it and we were outside one night and the one neighbors were talking about some dressing they found that didn't have "XYZPRMS" in it and I was all "but what IS in it? Do you even know??" and they all just huffed and puffed.

Dmn that's a lotta hack squats!! My legs shook a little reading it. LOL.
that calf machine looks cool!!! My gym doesn't have much for calves but I make do. Leg press machine that I hate actually works well for calves.

^^^freaking agree!!

-H-...my buddy uses the hack press machine for his GIANT calves. I haven't tried it yet as we have a an actual calf machine that is very similar but I guess he maxes it out...lol. His calves=my bicep plus some.

[norinicole]

Did you rep those hack squats out all at one time (like 50 without stopping???). I don't think I'd be able to do 50 squats in a row without any weight!!

I'll have to pick some up and try it out next restock day, I may have to cut down on my PB though, my shake will be unmixable/undrinkable if it gets any thicker.

Hey ya phottie (the "P" is silent!) So, question, is your name Pharty = silent H = "party".... or Pharty = PH makes "F" sound = "farty" cause either one works, ya know

Yeah, those hack squat quad shredders are a total head game. My face ain't purrity, that's fur sure . By the last set, I did do rest/pause with a 15 second rest/pause. You just have to push through it.....and I don't have that much weight on it either. I always like the saying "Your mind gives up way before your body does"

The four flights of stairs I take every day up to the clinic KILLED today though!

Thanks all

Farty

Some tool PMd me and said "did you really name yourself farty? No, no I did not.

[bosgirlin09]

So, I'm curious...why so many reps on the hack squat? I guess I've done long burn out sets but it's usually just the last set...not multiple sets like that..

Hey Bos! It's just part of the program I'm doing right now. I'm running Kris Gethin's 12 week Transformation. I've done this program before for about 6 weeks then dumped it because I was getting bored with it and it gets a bit clumsy trying to do a lot of drop sets with plates. However, I just finished 4 months of PHAT and I thought this program would have some muscle shock value since it's so different from PHAT.

As this program progresses, it does get into a lower rep/higher weight routine, and I'm not sure if all of these high rep sets in the beginning are for body conditioning purposes for the relative newbie, but it is a nice change up right now. I only plan on being on this for 6 weeks then on to something else. I'm not totally in love with this program, and I do change things up a bit based on personal preference, but it is certainly a big change from what I've been doing the past 4 months.

I'd love your input or opinion. Thanks so much for your support, Kim.

[thehobbes]

Holy friggin' hack squats, I swore that was a typo the first time I read that.

Farty

Some tool PMd me and said "did you really name yourself farty? No, no I did not.

P, I've always read your name as Farty, is it weird that that STILL makes me giggle a little bit every time I say that in my head?

[nvrstopworking]

I've always said PEE-Harty.

And uhhhh... yeah. Dem Hack squats are CRAZY Swooshers. Damn!

[FrmrHoss]

I'm with the Ham I always read it as Farty in my head.

[swooshie]

I'm with the Ham I always read it as Farty in my head.

And we all read you as "Farmer Hoss"

LOL

[pharty]

I've always said PEE-Harty.

That is actually the most accurate way given how it actually started You so smart!

I had NEVER read it as Farmer, FTR Until recently...lol!

Hiya, DD

Ha! My legs have always been my nemesis. Those hack squats were just how the program was written....probably not something I would have thrown in on my own. I'm definitely feeling the DOMS today. Like I said above, I'm doing this program more for the change up and muscle shock factor after running PHAT for 4 months. I much prefer to go heavy on legs, but I'll keep this one for a while and see what happens.

Thanks for stopping by! I'd love any input or suggestions from you!

Oh, that's a good one too! Unfortunately, I work through many, many lunches.
