New Goals

AHi try, I am so jealous of u. Ur so committed and can totally see the weight loss in ur recent pics. I have a pt session on Monday at my gym and I'm scared cos he'll kill me. I have no muscle strength at all. I just do some treadmill/cross training and that's it. I was feeling a little anxious this morning like I just wanted to eat eat eat but a long overdue visit to ur diary has quickly put that thought to bed. You're diary had inspired me not to give up :)
 
AI am glad reading my diary helped :)

your first PT session shouldn't kill you, most of it should be working out what you capable of especially if using weights.

Ahas been a long day at football both coaching and sports med, really tired but another long day tomorrow.
 
Good going recently Trusylver! Sounds like you'll be competition weight in no time!

You are right about your diary - I think it is difficult for people on their weight loss journey to understand/imagine because your workouts are so hardcore and you are so organised!! However, you have such a lot of experience that your comments are really valued around here so its only fair that we come on in, read and encourage you TOO!!! :)
 
AWhen I was alot younger I would have been the most disorganised people around but with3 special needs kids it was a case of get organised and learn to cope. Also having a lot of allergies forces you to eat well even if it may be different to "normal people" whatever that is.

I know that when I fall off the wagon as far as my food is concerned it is not just a mental aspect of stuffing up but a physical problem of feeling very ill and depending on what I have eaten an all over extremely itchy red rash and swelling. But like all of us here I do eat bad things at time due to unforseen circumstances like not having food with me when out all day and as a mother I would feel bad about not trying my sons cooking when he brings it home from school.

From a young age I was alway encouraged to be competitive in sport and always had the full support of my parents even when it ment driving hafway around the country for a martial arts tournament in the hope of olympic selection or watching me drop everything in my senior year of school to ride a bicycle over a thousand kilometers in a week for charity. without this support it is hard for young people of my age not just girls to develop a love of exercise.

I don't think much has changed, it is still hard for young people to get into sport and exercise due either not being supported by parents or having parent against it and without a background of exercise we end up with an obesity problem and the need for forums like this where young adults and even kids as young as my own have no idea about exercise.

I admit I carry a little to much fat but most people I know would not consider me to be fat and yet most members would be horified at being 88 kg at a height of only 5'2, most people face to face would not consider me to be muscle bound or intimidating (except when they see me lift lol) although I was once banned from the grounds of my sons high school for being "Intimidating" after I went to complain about bullying.


It was another long day yesterday, I volunteered my time and training for a Special Olympics football carnival but this morning I have woken up with the flu, If the I feel better tonight I will do my training session late when I take my youngest to the gym, If not I know one training session won't make a huge differance in the long run, a missed session is nothing to panic over.
 
Well done on the workouts/fat loss and the huge numbers. Hope your flu passes quickly!


Was wondering if you are supersetting any of the exercises and how long you generally rest between sets? Looks like it would take some serious time in the gym to get through all those sets on a daily basis.
 
AWow, I am in awe of you exercises! You are define aptly a pro! Great job man! Honestly, I have no desire to be able to do all the strength training the way you do, but I am super impressed you can do it! Makes my 20 good pushup goal look lame! You go man!
 
ANo I don't generally super set, at the moment rest between sets is at the 3 minute mark but as training progresses the rest between sets increases untill it is around 10 minutes, When training for pure strength the rest is always longer compared to someone whou is looking to build muscle size (bodybuilders) the only exception to the long rest periods is the dynamic sets which target explosive form while also putting a focus on the ATP energy system, fo these the rest is 40 seconds (I use an egg timer).

ATP - PC = Adenosine Triphosphate Phosphocreatine

http://www.brianmac.co.uk/energy.htm - for more info

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) stores in the muscle last for approximately 2 seconds and the resynthesis of ATP from Creatine Phosphate (CP) will continue until CP stores in the muscles are depleted, approximately 4 to 6 seconds. This gives us around 5 to 8 seconds of ATP production.

To develop this energy system, sessions of 4 to 8 seconds of high intensity work at near peak velocity are required

Sorry to hear you were ill on Monday, just a passing thing, I hope!


It is all pretty staggering from where I'm standing, and very very impressive! You're training for competition, right? When is it going to be happening? Can we read about it in the online papers?

AI am in the middle of a 3 month training cycle for initial preparation and fat loss at the end of which I will renew my Powerlifting federation membership and be back on the random drug testing list, I will then do another 3 month training cycle which should include bulking if my fat levels are ok with the aim of finding a suitable comp to break the record at sometime close to the end of the year or early next year, I don't really want to go interstate for my first comp back but if all goes to plan I will not only break a masters record I will also qualify for a spot at the National titles in the Open division against all the youngsters lol which will then mean travel to which ever city that nationals will be in.

Not likely to be in online papers but on saturday I had someone recognise my from seeing me in the paper a couple of years ago lol it feels odd to have someone come up to you and ask if your the weightlifter they seen in the paper.
 
AMeasurements are done, have lost over 3% bodyfat, 6.5 cm of my bust, 1 cm down from the waist, bum is 3 cm down, all else is the same.

biceps didn't change size but sknifold measurement halved so looks like a little muscle gain as well :)

no change to calf size but I don't carry any excess fat there.

will post todays exercise after I have done my second workout for the day.

I am a sucker for a challenge, I may regret soooo many deadlifts tomorrow at work, especially if I need to do a lot of running for injured athletes
 
That's an intense workout Trusylver. Sorry I've been absent, it's been a crazy past few weeks. Nice to see your coming along nicely in your preparation for your competition!
 
AJust finished work, I have a serious case of DOMS in both upper and lower back as well as posterior delts and Hamstrings :hurray: all due to the extra deadlifts, It is rare to get a good case of DOMS but it may just give my lifting a good kick.
 
Afeeling like crap today, still fighting of the lingering effect of this cold that I have and to top it all of it is TOM so being sunday after a bit of a run this morning I have pretty much be vegetating in front of the computer playing browser games http://s18.gladiatus.com/game/c.php?uid=18887
 
I would dread the feeling of DOMS.


My gawd. I don't know how you do it! You really are a machine!!


Sorry to hear you are still feelin like crap. Hopefully my gumption rubs off on ya. :)


I have to look back in your thread to see what you eat. I know you have different regiments depending on your training but I'm just curious.


Hope you get to have wonderful day!!!
