Re: All Guns Blazing - Photo Challenge

No before pic yet, hope to do it this week-end, before my guns are blazing!!

Yeah!!!! Git it!

I am so excited to get some jiggle-free arms for the tanktop season!

If everyone gets good results we will run a second one of these so we are firm, strong, and sex-A!!!!!

Re: All Guns Blazing - Photo Challenge

I'm finding some of the exercises are getting too easy with the weight I am using for it so will up the weight for that exercise. I have also discovered if I really control how quickly the weight moves I get a better work-out, too fast and it's not really doing the job because the muscles don't have to work.

Re: All Guns Blazing - Photo Challenge

Well, this isn't quite going as planned...I used too much weight the first day, and my arms were really sore for a few days, then I got a bad cold, then I pulled something in my back (not weight-training related)...so I don't think I will be able to keep my commitment this week. My back feels much better later in the day, so if I'm feeling up to it, I'll do my second workout tonight. It is possible that I'll get my third one in tomorrow to make the 3 for the first week, but I'm going to see how I feel - I'm doing this as much for my health as I am to look good/finish the challenge, after all! I just wanted to check in...I'm still totally pumped about this challenge and would like to continue even if I don't meet my commitment this week.

I had been doing weights a few months back, then quit to do more cardio when I added a pilates class...I figured that was enough strength training...WRONG! I can't believe how weak my arms have gotten!!!! I'm glad this challenge came around to remind me that I should still be doing some weights

Re: All Guns Blazing - Photo Challenge

Hey guys, just checking in. I had to fast all weekend on a liquid diet because I have a medical procedure this afternoon, so I have like zero energy and did not lift weights this weekend. (It was hard enough to get up and do laundry!) I admit that not eating solids is really hard on Atkins because we are pretty much limited to broth, tea, and SF jello, so in the past two days I have probably eaten around 200 calories total. I did cook up some burgers and broccoli which I will devour when I get home from the procedure, and will be back on the weights as hard as ever tomorrow morning!

So it sucks that I couldn't complete my goal for this week, but I will have extra time next week to complete it because I am a tutor and half of my students are on vacation for spring break.

Congratulations to everyone for sticking to your plan and firing up those guns!

Re: All Guns Blazing - Photo Challenge

I upped the weight to 2 lb weights and I could really feel the burn today. I wonder how long that will last.
