I think I have Turrets
Not that Turrets is anything to joke about, but today when I was doing the leg press I found myself having strong symptoms of Turrets (spelling?) Syndrome as I was yelling profanities obnoxiously at the top of each rep. It’s always the same two words I want to yell "S**t"! then "F**k"! It’s the same as when I get into near collisions like when I lived in Wisconsin and would almost hit a deer with my car I would yell the same two words while slamming the breaks.
So I was thinking why not come up with some nicer words to yell? After all I am not a trucker and never even swear much anyways. I’m more the good girl type and for some reason have turret’s with those two words. I was thinking maybe "Shinanigans!"
It’s funny how on different days I have different reactions to the hellish workouts I inflict upon myself. Last week while leg-pressing, after the second set I felt dizzy and had to walk around because I thought I was going to pass out from lack of oxygen to the brain. Then on the third set I just felt like crying like a baby! I wanted to kick myself in the shin! But that’s a little hard to do. Then today I had the turrets thing going on.
I squatted more today I’m up to putting plates on the bar (135 lbs) with having good form. I started light because before my form was horrible and I injured my groin muscle. So that’s why last month I told myself I’m going to squat again, and I will get good at it by starting light and working my way up until I can handle the heavier weight. I have a tendency to try to lift more than I can actually handle. So I did six reps of 135 lbs and was pretty proud, but my inner thigh muscles still hurt a lot! I don’t know if they are just weak or what! I think my outer quads and glutes are stronger and that’s why all the pressure is getting put on my weak inner thigh muscles. I may try that little abductor machine, although i am old school and not a big fan of machines.
Lunges with 85 lbs are quite a killer for the glutes when you are taking your knee all the way to the floor! I know this will build up my glutes so I can have a ghetto muscular booty and not the ghetto fat booty I used to have. I know that when I diet down and I still have a butt next time it’s from the lunges. And I don’t do that assisted Smith machine crap either. I go old school baby, straight free weights. It is soooo much harder but recruits so much more muscle and I feel will produce much better results, strength AND development as well as balance.
