THOUGHTS OF A FITNESS FREAK

Let’s see …….the basics…..I am becoming a big dropset fan.  I think I have a patellar ligament strain, so no heavy and no real deep squats.  My basis is not how many reps I do, but shoot for 12-15.  Lets say I am on leg extensions (this is after a full, light weight fast workout/sets hitting every machine in the gym or free weights I can get my hands on for the particular training target of the day) I will drop on 95 lbs for 10-12 reps, drop down to the next notch and bang out the same and continue until you hit the lightest weight ,mass reps (cus they are easier) or even 1 leg at a time at that weight.  I also mix it up with toes in/toes out for maximum efficiency.   I will sometimes hit certain machines or exercises 3 times, depending on the bodypart. I rotate with hams/quads on legs day.  This allows me to rest one area while working another and have less "downtime".  Its easier on back/lats/traps and bis day, trust me.  I do also split hams and quads, but thats something I recently started, but I am a little backed up in my schedule at the moment. 

I do the same drop sets for curls laying and seated.  I do squats on the smith machine as well as free standing squats.  The knee thing is preventing me from maxing weight, so I am sticking at 85, for 15-20 reps , about 6 consecutive sets.  I also have a new method of laying on the bench under the smith and doing single leg presses.  About 100 lbs per leg.  I scared a guy yesterday, he said he was impressed and wouldnt mess with me…..hehee, funny because I have seen this guy for over a year and this is the first time he talked to me EVER. See, ya gotta go gangbusters and guys will be like, "this chick is nuts, better move when she sits near me"!!!  Maybe I will grab one of them one day who looks at me funny,get them in a headlock and start screaming, "who’s you mommy? Who’s your Mommy??!!!"  Be-otch?!!!  Jst kidding, but damn, that WOULD be funny……..

So, I did my cable kickbacks and my glute isolation machine.  Somehow, I totally missed romanian dead lifts.  I love those things, but I was not in the best mood, I had things to do and time ran short. What can I say…..besides my buttocks are sore?  So, it’s all good.  

I posted a new back pose progress  picture.  I was down until I did because I was thinking things weren’t working but I think I have improvements.   I think my shoulders are bigger.  I have been on the Gaspari for about 2 weeks and am impressed!   I knew the Intrapro and the SizeOn are not immediate, but time  I do believe I am seeing results!  The Superpump250 is IMMEDIATE.   I’m a vascularity lover and this stuff helps you become the roadmap of your dreams!!  Squat til ya puke…….oh and hopefully someone else can clean..I have a weak stomach……….

One more thing.  I viewed my 1st video.  Richard emailed it to me.  I guess I am pretty goofy, but hey, I make ME laugh and hopefully someone is going to say, "man, if that dork can take it to the next level, so can I!"
