So I just got back from the gym and I feel…….GREAT!!!!! Never mind the fact that I’m bloated and I felt under the weather, fat and unpretty prior to going….I just feel absolutely fantastic at the moment!! Today I worked primarily delts and arms as a secondary. I’m doing this new routine, basically it’s similar exercises to what I was previously doing…the major difference is my volume with regard to sets and reps…. I started off doing 20minutes of cardio on the cybex and burned 400 calories (or so the machine read)….and then I continued with my weight training routine which looks like this :
Side raises, rear raises, front raises, DB shoulder presses, barbell curls and skull crushers, each for 2 sets till failure…working down the rack…I couldnt lift my arms to tie my hair up after - hahaha! The pump was unbelievable. And just after a week of doing this new routine I’m seeing mass and strength gain like woah! I finally finished up with a quick set of ambs (dragonflies) as I always do and stretches. The other great thing about it all is that I can feel the guys at the gym staring out of the corner of their eyes like "holy hell….this chic is extreme." Hey I was checking myself out in the mirror and thinking the same thing! I realize I still have a long way to go in order to be anywhere near the physiques of Valerie Waugaman, Gina Aliotti or Magie Diabolo (all great role models of mine)….but I’m extremly happy with my progress…and as I already said - I FEEL FANTASTIC!!!
The only thing that I’m not too happy is about is my symmetry. I’m a left hander and obviously my left side is my dominant, stronger side…..but I can see the difference in muscularity between my laft and right side. I usually pump out a few more reps on my right side in an attempt to bring my right side up to par….but I dont think it’s working….Maybe it’s my form on that side….hmmm….I dunno. Anyway I’ll ponder that situation later on…right now I’m going to take a long, well deserved shower and relax and revel in this feeling of euphoria - haha!
I cant wait for tomorrow - I’m working BACK!! My favourite!!! 
Goodnight and Sweet dreams all!

I’m so happy for you chicka! I feel great as well! TOTALLY feel you on the way you felt prior to going.. but that’s all in our heads and NEVER compares to the looks and stares when your lifting and sweating like the big boys.

Haha, what is it with the damn dominant side. Even when ya try balancing it out, dominant side still takes over. Havin the same problem. And I always concentrate on pushing harder with my left side (im right side dominant) and still nothing! Oh well, at some point I will concentrate on this matter more. I think I need to BUILD muscle first before I start to focus on specifics in detail.
Great job at the gym! Enjoy your back day tomorrow.
