THOUGHTS OF A FITNESS FREAK

I dashed a quick and desperate email off to Richard and he helped me out.  Ok, it still didnt work last night, but I cleared my cookies and it worked after the 2nd time. Frankly, if I don’t write……..I will DIE. Im a diary type of chickie.

Lots has happened.  been training my BUTT-TOCKS off…..thats for sure.  I killed legs sunday, then did them again tonight mixed with a LITTLE  chest and tris.  I was jacked up on some carbs,so my bench was up.  I didnt get close to my max as I had no spotter, but got an easy 145 all by myself for 6 reps.  My standing upright rows were 85 lbs easy and I did some easy straight arm 20 lbs lateral raises. Oh  yeah, did some shoulders obviously.  I suppose you could say I am losing some structure in my workouts, but I get there and have started targeting the areas I want to improve the most. Because my shoulders shred up 1st, I am trying to make them bigger so when I go competition lean…..they do not dissapear on me.  Im hoping not to confuse anyone. 

In a nutshell, beginners……….do full body 3-5 times a week to get the muscles used to being worked and got some all over muscle growth.

More advanced…or ready to move to the next level……….5 day splits are great

chest/tris

back/bis/lats

abs/serratus area/oblique/CORE work

legs

calves/forearms/shoulders

You can mix this 3 days on 1 day off, 2 on 2 off……….it doesnt matter.  You can condense it to a 3 day split if you want.  Do abs on calf/forearm day…….do calves 3 times a week if you have weak calves like me!  I do like the chest/tri and back/bi split and legs seperate though. 

So, today I spoke with my friend Andrew who is a video producer.  We are going to work on fitness videos and more video instruction.   We are using hi def and we will get the music shut off, so I can talk and be heard.  It will be so much better!  He will be setting up my site for me asap!  Its very exciting really.

I got an email from a lady in Florida who doesnt like herself……damn, I hate those words………its such an awful feeling, isnt it?  I try to help as much as I can  so hopefully these videos will be more informative than what I have been able to offer thus far. I know the gym doesnt cure people not liking themselves, but its a beginning to a road of more self confidence and opens many doors once that first step is taken.    

I will be back to blog tomorrow.  I also ordered some new products, some of the non training type and want to do some blogging on them.  I have a fantastic moisturizer than wont make you shiny and greasy…how freakin great is that ladies??????
