Name: IronMum!
Age: 38
Location: Australia
Started: Started weight training about a year and a half ago. Have lost weight and put on mass but have not been disciplined enough with fitness and nutrition (changed that now!)
Goals: To do ONE bicep pullup and one wide grip pullup unassisted; to get bigger; reduce body fat; improve fitness overall; better flexibility; squeaky clean eating; be a poster child for vegan BB/fitness

Eating: Vegan since March 2012.
Workout: Currently 4 day split for weights; aim for cardio daily.
Problems: I have really poor flexibility and need to work more on stretching; perfectionism (hate training without my buddy-spotter as I feel frustrated that I'm not working as hard)
Weight: Currently 70.8kg/156lbs (got down to 67.5kg three months ago then slacked off over winter...) Used to weigh nearly 90kg/198lbs in Jan 2011. Still a lot of body fat to lose.
I had chronic back pain a year ago and horrible slouching. That's all gone now.
Training Journal 15/10/2012
70.3kg
(weight loss of 500g this week, started daily cardio one week ago but super clean eating four days ago)
Going easier on weights as trainer-buddy and I had a break and have jumped in to lots of cardio, so she decided to drop the intensity a bit for now as we focus on fat loss.
Chest and Triceps day
- pushups (wider hands)
- dumbell bench press
- dumbell chest flies
- pushups for triceps
- overhead tricep press
- tricep pulldown
1 hour bootcamp session. Lots of jogging... couldn't do the pushups on toes as I was totally pooped from chest+tris work.
Good eating.
