  1. Hey ya'll, I haven't been on here in a while, but I definitely should be here more. I've been super busy in the past year, started teaching and going to grad school full time, living off a stipend. Anyway, I've entered USAPL Raw Nationals! Thing is, it's in Colorado, I'm in Maryland... yea. Flight + Hotel = $$$ If you could send a couple bucks my way that would be amazing, just click the link below. http://fnd.us/c/6ltrc/sh/13Q4q4 Also some of my training videos are here: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheMastersofgravity
  2. Hey all! I know I haven't posted in here in FOREVER, but I had a little favor to ask. The apartment building I was living in had a fire a few weeks ago and my boyfriend and I are still trying to get back on our feet. Luckily no one was hurt and a friend has offered to house us. However, we still need some furniture and rent money! Any bit helps: https://www.wepay.com/donations/swole-island-refugee-fund-aka-keith-zoe-bryn-need-a-new-home

I've been trying to figure out this "cutting" thing for about 2 weeks, but still in the learning stage. haven't weighed myself this week but I think I've lost about 1lb, maybe 2. A month or so into the Westside Hybrid training program and I can see definite results in my upper body. I've been tracking my workouts in the training journal section if anyone is interested!

There's a track around the lake that is about a mile long, also around the track are 3 different stations of "workout" equipment. ex: row machine, dips, pull-ups, etc. Soooo I rode 1.5-1.7 miles around the track then did a tabata at each of the stations. I did this 4 times which comes out to 4 tabata rounds and about 6 miles of cycling.

HR 135. Still tweaking the cutting diet, right now I'm TRYING to hit 2250 cals a day but usually going over a little bit. My macros are 193.5 g protein, 70g fat, 211.5 g carbs. I almost ALWAYS go over in carbs. Despite this, I think I've lost almost a pound within the last week but I still need to clean up my diet a bit.
  9. Wednesday 1/18 Did tabata intervals in the garage of our "house" with the bf. We live in the 2nd floor apartment above an autobody shop/ paint shop/ glass shop/ hip-hop studio. We are regularly asked what the hell we're doing since we look like a weird prison workout session. Sledgehammer hits Push-ups BB rows tricep dips + hung up some chains from one of the rafters to do "trx" style rows and presses. I really need to do more cardio like this, I have no endurance whatsoever.

  12. Hey! I'm Zoe, and I think it's about time I start tracking my training and diet correctly so I can see the best results possible. I competed in powerlifting for the first time last month and now I'm even more motivated to lift some HEAVY weights. Here are my totals from the meet: http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/14516179125/5/tumblr_lwijwv5rIj1qbd8n8 I set the MD state record in my weight class! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlfJPPpRq0Y My goal this year is to hit 300+lbs. in both squat and deadlift. And for bench I'd like to press 135lbs. I figure if I went from never going to the gym to competing in powerlifting in one year, then these numbers aren't THAT intimidating. I also plan to start a slow cut next week. I just want to get down to about 123lbs and see if it effects my strength then go from there. I welcome any advice and criticisms on my training and diet, whatever I need to reach these goals. After the competition I started my training based on a Westside Hybrid training program. Mostly, this template by Joe Defranco:http://www.defrancostraining.com/articles/38-articles/65-westside-for-skinny-bastards-part3.html I enjoy the variety so far, but I also need to read up more on it. Today is my off day, I might do some GPP but...then again maybe not. Here's my week so far... Monday 1/9 Bench Press= 45x10/75x8/85x6/95x5/110x4 DB Bench= 50x15/50x15 Barbell Row/DB "power clean" supersets= 1st set: 95x8/30x8 2nd: 95x10/30x8 3rd: 95x12/30x8 4th:105x8/30x8 Shrugs=70x12/70x12/70x10/80x10 DB curls= 15x15/20x8/20x10/20x12 cardio: 30 mins arc trainer avg. heart rate 135bpms Tuesday 1/10 Box Jumps (3.5 ft)= 3x6 Bulgarian Split Squats= 70x10/70x10/70x10 45 degree hyperextensions w/ 45lb plate= 3x12 DB side bends= 35x15/40x15/45x12/45x12 cardio: 30 min. arctrainer avg HR: 135bpms
  13. I laid off of benching and military press for almost 2 months when i initially injured it. When I started back up I was very careful, starting light and making sure my form was perfect. thanks for the kind words everyone!
  14. a little less than a month away from my first powerlifting comp. currently: 129lbs. http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/12797192222/1/tumblr_lunz6qnSp01qbd8n8 http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/12797192222/2/tumblr_lunz6qnSp01qbd8n8 http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/12797192222/3/tumblr_lunz6qnSp01qbd8n8
