Never Give Up NEW PICS on p.311

Have trained Legs on Monday and Chest yesterday, both days with 20mins cardio after
 
Am in London on work courses and swear I actually have swine flu, I feel vile.
 
Thus have been eating as I like and am now trying to shake off this evil bug
 
Day off training today, and probably tomorrow depending on how I feel....
 
Anyone seen Kitty? Worried bout her...

hope you feel better soon flick

what was the fitness girl like at portsmouth?
ive just seen the one pic which looks 'interesting'!

Well she was no Liz Kinsella that's for sure! ;-)

She had some elements in her routine, just not quite knitted them together well enough yet... Her evening routine also contained nothing in it, whereas the morning one did...??

'Interesting' may be an accurate description but she did had a tidy little physique that's for sure...

I've eaten anything and everything for the past week but not gained a lb!

I'm just experiencing the same phenomenon.
Maybe it's like that old saying;

"Fill your face first week of May
and on your hips it shall not stay."

Jedi - I do hope so... I'm preferring my more relaxed attitude to eating, my body seems to be responding well...

Forgot to add, Carl bought me a bicycle to get to work... :-D
Tan will already know this - I learnt to ride a bike for the first time 2 days ago EEK! Went on my lunch break with Carl. Am still currently trying to get used to pavements but I'll get there... :-D

That is so sweet.
Both him buying the bike and you having to learn to ride it.

If you ever feel a bit wibbly-wobbly and wonder if you should give up.
Remember the horrific alternative for adults who don't master two wheels;

Looking forward to seeing some of you at BodyPower on Sunday!

Had a fantastic weekend at BodyPower... Saw Mrs and Mr G, Kitty n Dave, Welshy, Hififi, SharonH from BNBF Forum, Annies, Truds, JK01 - tons of MT'ers!
 
I think one of the Annie's got a big group MT pic, if I see it I'll post it up :-) Kitty was missing though GRRRR!
 
Got a bit of oomph after feeling fat n horrid all weekend - seeing dieting ladies was prob just what I needed.
 
And I met Phil Heath and am a bit in love now. Carl knows him so we held up the queue talking to him oops... :-/ I also spent my hard earned wages on a signed piccie :-)
So, this morning, trained Arms with Carl, busted my a$$ and managed a record-breaking 16 reps at 60kgs for bench dips, and 32.5kgs on EZ-Bar curl WOOP!!!! Long may the hard work continue!

You looked fab yesterday, so chilled out and laid back. Thanks for the kick, it worked

Check out your monster triceps
...all those bench dips paying off.

Really gutted I couldn't make it with so many people from MT in the same place.
Am ridiculously behind schedule with everything though so am currently in an all work and no play makes jedi a very dull boy situation.

I have to agree with Kitster....you were positively glowing Sweet!!!! Like a wee ReadyBrek kid!

Aww thanks ladies, I had THE coolest weekend :-) Felt like so long since I'd seen everyone and for once I didn't have a diet addled brain so could actually hold conversations about someone else except myself for a change  
 
Carl was made up on the way home... He was like... 'So you're really happy...' like he didn't know  daft apeth!!

I think BodyPower gave me the boot I needed, I'm gonna see how things swing for the rest of the month... Watch this space
 
Jedi - gutted you weren't there. I think you're prob the only one I've not met now...
 
I would be lying if I didn't confess to putting my hand in my pocket to perfect that tricep pose - was feeling v.self conscious that day, was hoping some muscle might show somewhere!!! I've been busting my a$$ thinking I made progress on my Shoulders - then I saw Truds, Nicole-Pitcher Scott and that black chick with the blonde hair, blue top and MAMMOTH Shoulders, and wanted to put a cardi on and hide
 
Just booked train tickets, am DEFINITELY gonig to the Welsh WOOP!!! AnnieU is competing there and I HAVE to go support her for sure

The blonde girl was absolutly gorgeous!!! I went up to her and said ' You look beautiful' lol. It just had to be said!!

Had day off on Weds and trained Chest y.day with Carl n did 20mins cardio on recumbent bike.
 
Today trained leggies and did 20mins fitness practice to music (how anyone can do a headstand on a wooden floor is beyond me...) I will clearly have to learn how to hold a headstand instead... :-/

How anyone can do a headstand anywhere is beyond me

lol @ kitty

Yesterday me and Carl started a new training programme I saw in Muscle & Fitness.

He almost punched me as I was trying to get him doing high volume on upright row tee hee...

The formula for it is as follows:
Pick a weight for each exercise that's 50-75% of your 8-12 rep max
Do as many reps as you can for 20secs
10 secs rest
Repeat for a total of 8 sets per exercise.

We tried it out with Shoulders yesterday and f*ck me, did they burn! I thought it might help improve my endurance for fitness. So we'll do it for a few weeks then switch back to normal, just a nice change.
 
I was slightly miffed however, that I was having to do Side Lat Raises at 2kg (3kg dumbells had gone walkies) and was actually saying OWWW by my 5th set!!!

LOL, don't you just hate it when you know you can normally lift more. Same with drop sets and no one seems to watch you until you have the smallest weight
