Supersetted with: DB Fly: 10 x 20s, 10 x 20s, 10 x 20s Incline Bench: 10 x 65 lbs, 10 x 75 lbs, 5 x 85 lbs DB Decline: 10 x 30s, 8 x 40s, 7 x 40s - no barbell decline bench in this gym Good day, workout was with vegan801power who is back in town (wahoo!) and with Robert Cheeke who was visiting for a fundraiser (details below). 10 NovAble to squat again Squat: 10 x bar, 4 x pistol, 10 x 135 lbs, 8 x 155 lbs1 x 5 x 170 lbs4 x 5 x 175 lbsWas a little worried on these since I couldn't squat last week, but it went up! So happy to get all those Crazy Superset of: Leg Ext: 3 x 7 x 50 lbs - one leg at a timeLeg Curl: 3 x 10 x 70 lbs - both legs, right hammy is feeling stronger Seated Calf: 3 x 7 x 70 lbs - kicked my bum! With vegan801power and last day with Robert Cheeke, took him to the airport afterward lifting . Got some pictures I'll have to post soon. I invited him up to SLC to speak at the Ching Farm Rescue and Sanctuary's vegan Thanksgiving dinner, even though we had no money to pay his way here, but he came anyway! Helped us out TONS - huge props to him for going out of his way to do this. Seriously a nice guy But, that fundraiser about mowed me under - spend ALL day setting up, then worked the event, then stayed until it was completely cleaned up after. Could barely move by the end!

robert Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 You rock big time! So impressed with you all week! From the work you do with the farm at the farm, to the work you do organizing events, to planning out my entire trip and making it one of my best trips period. It was so much fun! You kick butt in the gym too (I'm a Disney guy so I say butt) and you rocked the squats tonight! Thanks again for everything. I can't wait to be back in SLC!!!! You and Vegan801Power should come to Portland at the same time one of these days. With all your other SLC friends who moved here and me and Ed and others, we can really rock some great workouts and great times! Say hi to all the farm animals for me! I'll try to post pics soon...but if it's not soon, just know that I'm swamped with work and will post when I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 The same grill I have been to? You can eat like a machine when it comes to those blocks of tofu and curry sauce! You rocked me! Hey, I was pressing 100's today for incline and they didn't fall on my face like they nearly did in SLC....I guess if they had fallen.....my face would have fallen off! Hope all is great! Say hi to Harold for me as well and keep training hard! I'm hanging out with Julia again and it's great! Hope we can both come to SLC to see you sometime.

Crystal Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Yup! Same grill Thanks for checking in, glad to hear all is well with you (and Julia! Hooray!! ). 1 Dec 09 - Tues*6 minute warm-up on eliptical Push Press: 10 x bar, 10 x 75 lbs, 10 x 85 lbs, 6 x 95 lbs, 6 x 95 lbs Incline Sit-Ups: 40, 35 Machine Rear-Delt Rows: 8 x 85 lbs, 9 x 85 lbs, 9 x 85 lbs, 7 x 75 lbs DB Seated Shoulder Press: 10 x 27.5s, 10 x 30s, 10 x 30s - this was after a failed attempt to do upright rows, but my elbow is NOT cooperating , but these were okay Good shoulder day with vegan801power, especially for me having an elbow that's pretty much out of commission! Its funny how things go, pressing was no problem but just about everything else hurt! Even went climbing afterwards, but it was all crazy mostly one-handed moves as I couldn't pull off my left arm so good AND, pecs are so sore from yesterday . To quote my awesome lifting partner "my pecs had to call the rape crisis hotline after that session" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
