Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Ok, I just walked my 3.1 miles (5k) and it took me 40 minutes. This is similar to a month ago. Tonight I'm going to go to the school gym to do my weight lifting max.

Okay, here's what I did today (feel free to giggle, I've got no upper body strength ):

Front Deltoid Dumbbell Raise (shoulders): 5lbs each hand
Alternating Dumbbell Curls (biceps): 5lbs each hand
Dumbbell Extensions (triceps): 15lbs
Dumbbell Press (chest): 5lbs each hand
Dumbell Stiff Leg Deadlifts (back): 30lbs

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

My starting time for 5K is 38:42

My starting weights for my pick 5 exercises:
Dumbell Flyes (free weight) 12x5, 10x10, 8x15 (I'm a weakling here and I even dropped the 15 lb weight in my left hand...)
Bicep cable curls 12x40 10x50, 8x60
Military Press 12x10, 10x20, 8x30

I haven't done the killerups for my abs yet....and have no idea how much weight I could do......

I also did these exercises tonight
Lat Pull Downs (cable) 12x40, 10x60, 8x80
Squats 12x50, 10x70, 8x80
1 mile run to the gym.

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

uhmmmm... did you run to the gym in your prom dress while munching on a jicama or is that vision just in my head?

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

OMG

Post ONE lousy picture of you in your prom dress

And make a few comments about a veggie that you happen to find very appealing....

Next thing you know, you are forever MARKED as some weird chick weight lifting in her prom dress while munching on Jicama.

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

uhm. ok, yeah, for the record, I said "RUNNING" not weight lifting, why? Did you wear it to lift weights too??

If it makes you feel any better I have 4 small jicamas sitting in my kitchen and became addicted to Whole Foods because of the board...

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Now I'm doing a jicama dance cuz you said that. You go girl with your 4 jicamas!

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Hey Fatal....I was looking at your weight lifting numbers & one thing caught my eye. Are your triceps really that much stronger than your biceps? Usually it's the other way around with the triceps being a smaller & weaker set of muscles. Just curious!

I know, it boggles the mind. I can actually flex my triceps but my biceps seem to be on permanent vacation.

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

If it makes you feel any better Fatal, I do preacher curls with 5lb weights on the bar, and do skull crushers with 10lb weights on the *same* bar...

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

WTH is a skull crusher?

[Lyssie]

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Uhm. Using the funny shaped preacher curl bar, lay on your back on a bench, use an inside grip on the bar, straighten your arms above you, like, knuckles towards the ceiling. Only bending at the elbows, keeping your wrists straight, try and hit yourself in the forehead (without *actually* hitting yourself) with the middle of the bar.

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Okay...gotcha. I've done those before...though shapefit doesn't call them skullcrushers. I kinda like it tho....now I'm gonna go in the gym and do skullcrushers. It just sounds weight lifterish.

I'm so cheesy.

In fact, I want to change my tricep exercise to skull crushers just to be cool and then I can say the name lots of times. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

It's so much cooler phrasing. Kinda like piggy back calves is a no, while Donkey Calves is a yes. It keeps people guessing.

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Valid, that's so weird about those biceps. At least with stronger triceps, you shouldn't have old-lady chicken flaps!!!

Skullcrushers! Wow! I'm with Joy...I can't wait to try 'em just so I can say I do "skullcrushers." LOL
