Excellent work, young Lori. If you think you have weak glutes, give bb hip thrusts a try. I've been doing them for the past 2 weeks and absolutely love them.
That means you are unknowingly rounding your lower back. Be very careful, you don't want a disc herniation. I had the same pain (still do) last week, when I did heavy deficit deadlifts with bad form.

Thanks! Yes, dieting sucks! I'm soooo glad I'm not doing that right now Are you still planning on competing?
Yay!
Ok, thanks for pointing that out. I will try to be careful with my form. Although what I did yesterday felt pretty good, and I did position myself better. I'm hoping that I won't get any pain anymore. I have wanted to try hip thrusters, but I never got around to fitting them into my workouts yet. I would love to try them, though! Glutes are sore today What's the difference between deadlifts and deficit deadlift???? I have never heard of those before!Team Cookies Give You Superpowers

Oy. I woke up on the groggy side of the bed this morning! Oy. Gotta wake up a little here. I'm tired (pouty face) The word pouty kind of looks like poultry. Doesn't seem like I spelled it right....Huh. Anyways, Verticle Push/Pull today! WHoooooo! First I just need some energy.....Going to go play some games and drink some coffee...
Oh yeah! I'm planning on doing Military presses for 5 sets of 5 with 60lbs today, and my first unassissted pull-up! We shall see.....
Ugh. My workout schedule is all screwed up. Today is supposed to be a rest day, but we are supposed to be hanging out one day this weekend where I know I won't get much sleep and would like to make the day after (most likely Sunday) a rest day. So quads and then vertical the day after....There's supposed to be a rest day in there....I hope it doesn't matter too much And then hammies will be the day before horizontal.....hhhmmmmmmmm....Last edited by gobbles23; 08-27-2010 at 04:57 AM.

Check my log for a video. A deficit deadlift is just a deadlift done with a deficit. Meaning, you either stand on a 2-3" box and pull or just use smaller plates. The bar should be positioned at a point, slightly higher than your ankles. So you will have a larger range of motion.
Deficit deads work the lower part of the movement. Rack pulls work the upper part of the movement. Using these two, will help boost your regular deadlift numbers, even without training for it.

Yeah, I didn't wake up yet The grogginess stayed with me all day. My nose is stuffy too, and my energy is low so I figured I'd just take it easy and push my workout to tomorrow. Damn sinuses.
My friend Sam made a fat burner called Beautyfuel! She is selling them all over the world now, and she sent me many samples to try. They are all natural- herbs and stuff. I am going to give them a try tomorrow before my workout, see how they are
Having a boring, dog dangling day today, but I will be all rested and energized for tomorrow's workout! Have a great night everyone!!!!Team Cookies Give You Superpowers

I think I see what`s going on here......Tired, unfixably hungry, slightly cranky......It`s that damn TOM creeping up on me! I`m starting to notice a pattern here of having zero energy the whole week before. Screw that! I`m not letting stupid crap like that stop me! Ooohhhhh no! I am doing my workout today whether my body likes it or not! Ha ha ha! Still slightly stuffy, but not too bad. I think it was the heavy, humid weather yesterday. That always makes my head stuffy. I think it`s the pressure. But it`s beautiful outside today! And I took some of the Beautifuel that Sam sent me (I told her I`d test it out for her) so hopefully that`ll take care of my lack of energy! We shall see! Vertical Push/Pull today! Woooooooooo!

This workout was alright. I was feeling tired, cranky and had low energy during it. Near the end got real bad. I don’t think it’s because of anything other than TOM stuff. I hate this week. Here is my boyfriend, being super sweet and caring, and I’m too much of a crank to be nice to him, and then I feel bad I don’t want to be cranky! I am going to invent some sort of PMS happy pill when I grow up Anyways, after my workout I showered, and then we had to scrap Stephen’s Pop’s patio, and we only now got back. I am feeling very blah...and fat, and bloated, and irritated. Going to go eat some food, finally. And then try my best to be happy.Last edited by gobbles23; 08-29-2010 at 01:53 PM.

Going to go do some painting, and then it's Hammie time! Whooooo! I'm going to try hip thrusters today. Although I really think they should come up with a new name for those....Like.....hip raises, even. That sounds better, hey ? I am excited. I can't wait to work my hammies. Oh! And biceps too! Anyways, off I go to paint I don't want to go.
Today is one of my last days of no responsibility! It's off to the College tomorrow to register. I would rather get a kick in the teeth. It's soooooo unorganized at the College. Registration day blows. You'd think you'd be able to register for your courses online But on a positive note, I should be picking up my loan this week Wooot! I won't actually get the money for about 2 weeks, but at least it'll be on the way. Oh, going to pick up some groceries tomorrow as well! I'm more excited about that
Be back soon with hammie workout escapades!
- No painting this morning...It will have to be after my workout because it's too wet out just yet. So I might not get a chance to post it until later. Oooh, ooh! We are going to watch the UFC fight that ensued last night after the painting! I can't wait to see it! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Methinks there'll be popcorn With extra spray butter and salt!Last edited by gobbles23; 08-29-2010 at 05:30 AM.

Thats crap that you can't register online! I thought all colleges were doing that now. I too agree about the "thrust" part on that exercise lol!

08-29-2010, 11:18 AM #2509
Every time I register online there is something that gets messed up Good luck with getting enrolled, don't forget to take your old books back and sell then
Hip thrusters, hehehe I actually liked them back when I was starting to get in working out and using body weight, might need to try them with weight after New Rules.If this were easy, everyone would walk around ripped.
I like eating, it helps with the not dying.

Today’s workout was complicated. I am still unsure about how to do stupid stiff-legged deadlifts. Every time I do them I feel like I am bending my legs too much, and when I try to not bend them, my legs/glutes go back too far and instead of my legs staying straight, they are more like \_ (the straight line being my feet) so I’m leaning back on an angle. So I kept trying to keep my legs straight, but then was unsure if the bar was suppose to be held close to my legs or further out Then I got frustrated. I think it might just be a flexibility issue.
So after my workout I looked up stiff-legged deadlifts again, but everyone in videos either bends their legs, or keeps them totally straight and it confuses me. I’m going to have to find a full demonstration with instructions or something. So then of course, after doing multiple experimentational deadlifts, my back was feeling too toast to beat my good morning record, and I had to drop the weight. Ack.
Now I’m feeling very cranky. I had one of those workouts where I just wanted to cry. I don’t know why my mood is so off these past few days, but I’m going to blame it on hormones Lot’s of eye rolling today. Forgot to add- this took 1 hour and 10 minutes, and I burned close to 600 calories! (HR monitor is waayyyyyy too far away right now)
Hamstring Dominant, Quads Accessory, Biceps, Abs:
Stiff legged Deadlifts- (supposed to be 5x5)

60x15
I wanted to do hip thrusters but my bench is too high :/ Anyways, I will work on deadlifts next time and do them right. I’m pretty sure they were pretty good, but I was cranky. I never should have questioned it. Just got back from painting for 2 straight hours in the hot sun. The money will be nice though! Gone to shower, eat, watch UFC, and then eat some more!Last edited by gobbles23; 08-29-2010 at 01:53 PM.

Have you seen this thread by kiknskreem? http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=112127931 One of the best descriptions of the differences between deadlift types that I've read. Conventional, Romanian & Stiff Legged (plus a bunch of other stuff) are covered really well.

Yeah, it's pretty stupid! The University lets you, but the College doesn't. Grrrr.
Thanks! I'm gonna need it! Yup, we have a book list made up and everything! We have soooo many books. If we sell them all for half price, we'll gets lots of money's!
I wish I could do those....I'll have to rig something up
That is absolutely EXACTLY what I needed! Thank you soooo much! I really appreciate it! That is an awesome explination of everything. I will go look at this thoroughly, and perfect my deadlifts
I don't know, the box squats kind of made me really happy I imagine having two days of rest now might help my mood a little!Team Cookies Give You Superpowers

Ok, so for stiff-legged deadlifts, do you always place the bar back on the floor after each rep??? I didn't realize that the exercise started on the floor Oh dear. I have to practice all three of these with a mirror and my laptop

Ok, cool. Thanks! That's how I do them, but when I videoed myself doing them it looked like my legs were on an angle...You know how his looked straight? Mine look like ---> \_ Like I was leaning back real far, instead of like ---> L but it was comfortable like that. I need to practice! Though whatever I did today worked so well that my hammies were shaking while I was brushing my teeth afterwards Oh dear, I am sooooo exhausted right now. I just want sleep. And popcorn.

Sorry to hear the SLDLs are giving you hassle. But it's good you're paying so much attention to form and making sure you've got it down. And sore hammies are a pretty good sign that you're doing it right!
With SLDLs, you lift the 'dead' bar from the floor for each rep. Depending on flexibility, you may want to use a raised platform to lay the bar down on to, or switch to RDLs (which I personally find isolate my hammies better and take the strain off my back).
Anyway, it was a pretty damn good looking workout!The Journal: Epiphanies, DOMS & Cottage Cheese

Thanks Charli! I have been doing romanians forever, but never, ever felt it in my hams, only my back and glutes. SLDL seem to target my hammies more, without the back strain. That's why I'm confused, I guess. I don't understand why it's different for me, hence me questioning my form But I will practice all of the different variations and master doing them all correctly

Rest day today.......SWEET! Apparently the second and third years register tomorrow, and because we`re distant students, we can register either day. We decided on tomorrow because there`ll be no one there being oriented, which is usually the cause of most of the chaos. So this morning, we just relaxed, and this afternoon we are painting again. Trying to get it finished so we can spend our free time picking blueberries and raspberries! Damn, we need to get those before it`s too late! I just had the most wonderful bowl of vanilla yogurt, vanilla protein powder, banana, muesli, and honey.....Ughghghgh....I swear I could eat that all day, every day

I hurt my toe. Poor, little toe. Actually, it`s my big toe. I dropped a dresser drawer on it. It`s a little swelled, and there`s a little blood. But most of all, when I try to walk, I get the sickliest feeling. My heart flutters real bad and I black out, so I have to lie down. And it angers me because I don`t want to lie down. I just ate a few cookies after my first meal (they were irresistable) and was oozing with energy, ready to go run up a mountain and then BOOM! Down comes the drawer.......Toes are so fragile. *sigh* Going to go try to stand up again.....lol! Morale of my story........Beware of silly accidents And don`t take your toes for granted
