The Trumpet-Blowing thread

It seems by recent threads maybe us ladies need this on here...for those too shy and retiring to start their own thread ;-)
 
Lets use this thread to give ourselves a pat on the back, boast about PBs, and of course inspire some friendly competition....
 
Unfortunately I dont have much trumpet blowing to do just now....other than that I managed 4 cardio sessions this week...and thats NOT in comp prep . Yay me!

What a fab idea Liz. I recently did one on another forum but based on before and after shots. Come on ladies.....make us proud

Boy...I'm soo glad you started this thread, cos I would have been waaaay to shy to have ...oh darn it! can't say that can I now...is it too late to delete my trumpet blowing thread?..huh...huh?...lol....I'm just a beginner...but this week I did a minnie pb on triceps, preacher curls and seated rows....weeeny ones, but "ones" nevertheless...lol.......and I managed like a brave little soldier to get up at silly o clock in the morning a whole three days in a row to get some extra cardio in to try to whip the blub off me....I had faded by the time Friday came along tho...working on that one......lol
 
oh...and...gymbabeliz...that little cutie you have in your arms....awwwwe......:)

What a cool thread! Hopefully I'll have something to add next week after being back at the gym

Sounds great to me!! When I was typing my PB squat I was very red!  I'm good at pushing others but it was my first ever "shout out" for me which I did after Northerngal gave me the courage and hovering over the "post message" button for a very long time!! & it's great getting feedback from all of you.  It's making me want to do another PB!! xx

Kels...I'm glad you did it....I actually don't have that much to shout about...I just type what's in my head and out it comes....I know I know ...my head's a strange place...lol.....your thread got me looking at different things to help myself with so ya know, you have to post...it's helpful to me and prolly to others.....but ya know?..100K?..did you HAVE TO????..lol...kidding...I'm very pleased for you....NOt..no, no I am I am...lol...just mucking...the gals on here fill me with enthusiasm for what I am trying to do for myself....keep going....

Great idea for a topic!  Looking forward to hearing some self pats on the back!

(although I did think this was going to be a topic about which of you girls does the best farts, from reading the title! LOL)

No one would surpass mine James and I'd hate to meet the woman who could!!

JAMES! we are ladies dont you know....

thanks northengal....she's grown up a bit since then, she'll be 2 next month ...and check out her pressing!

What a fab photo! That's brilliant the expression on her face!
I see another thread coming up! x

LOL, that's so cute Liz . Is she imitating you or Kami with that face?

lol....she's really concentrating....or is that impression of mum on the weights?.....cute cute cute.......:)

LOL thats Kami's face...she even does the blowing out noisily...hehe

Too cute!

Ok, since this thread has turned into a cute baby admiring thread (and rightly so cos she is ) thought I'd add my PBs in to start the ball rolling.

Deadlift : 110kg
Squat : 100kg
Bench pressing (incline dumbell) : 27.5kg dbs

The latter I have recently accomplished the other two during my 07/08 battle with Elfintan ...not sure I could do them right now though!!

During my psyco infected boosted immune system high last week:

45 degree leg press: 190kg for 8 reps
Lat pull down: 70kg for 6 reps (now needing prescription volterol!)
Squat: 45kg on an olympic bar = 65kg (good for me, I've had problems squatting over past couple years with back issues).

blimmin 'eck!....(jaw on floor)....I want to stroke both your arms so some stuff can rub off on me.....lol....I don't have anything to add right now, but...but.....I went to Debenhams to get a new jumper and my usual size din't fit me cos........da da daaaaaaaaa....my biceps were too big!!!!!!!...EEEEEEEEEEEEEK...far from being sad I'm blimmin overjoyed!!!! gerrrin there me!....lol.....i has biceps and if I knew how to do pics I'd post one!!! but hten you gals would bust my chops cos you have bigger biceps than me so not a good idea perhaps...boy I'm happy.....wanna punch me?....lol....

Hifi  190kg for 8 reps!!!
Kitty deads 110KG......I'm excited and it ain't even me wot did it!!!...hahahahahahaah.....we are the champions....well, ya know not me....you gals.....awwweeee......

thats a huge deadlift for a midget ;-) i never got to 110 even at my biggest and strongest. I can only do about 80 now, if that!

Kitty - we were lucky neither of us bloody broke!

Liz - fab idea for a thread...and photo opportunity! I think few women are predisposed to competative banter but it can work wonders...as long as you don't break lol!

Managed 5 reps on 70kg bench today which I was jolly chuffed with as last week got a 80kg 1RM....would like at some point to be aiming for 100kg bench but 20kg is a BIG old jump!

You're just a beast
