robert Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 hahahaha, Yeah, travel and stress lead to not shaving! I'm sure some people will find me cute and rugged. Great workout today. I caught myself wimpering a bit, especially on the pull-ups. Let's hammer it out again this weekend. I'll do my best to get more sleep so I can recover better and be stronger. You are strong as hell!!!!!!!!!!! I think we did the same weight for a couple of exercises and I weigh a lot more and have been training for nearly 10 years. Nice work, your back is SOLID!

DV Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Thanks guys, but only 4 of them were without assist! Rob, I'm looking forward to a good arm workout on Saturday. Get some sleep Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 OK, I'll make sure NOT to go out on a date and stay up late. You got it! I look forward to training together again. I really like training with someone. I've trained by myself for years, but the best lifting I ever did was when Jordan and I trained together (you know him, the friend from Corvallis I've known since I was 5 years old). So even an occasional workout with a training partner is much appreciated. See you soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DV Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Nutrition: No idea. I went out for Lebanese after a workout with Robert, NY David and Sisters John. For those of you in Portland, Habibi has great vegan-labeled options on the menu. My workout log is currently down in the garage so here are the basics.

robert Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Yeah! Hey, my legs are today. I took two days off in a row....you were killing me a the gym. My triceps are still a little sore and that was last week when we trained them! I hope to be walking funny tomorrow I won't be going to Bend afterall, so other than moving......I'm around to hit up the gym another time or two before going to L.A. on May 8th. Have great workouts and enjoy VegFest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DV Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 My husband is back home and I haven't really tracked my calories or protein intake too well this week. There have certainly been a few extra calories from the wine category. (Usually, I drink wine on the weekends and occasionally will have a glass during the week). I love a good family crisis! Wednesday was arm day with my trainer and Thursday was rest day. I concentrated on learning new exercises and don't know the weights or reps. I don't even know how to describe some of the exercises we did so I won't try. -------------------------------------------------------------------------Currently reading The End of the Line by Charles Clover. The subtitle is How overfishing is changing the world and what we eat. If I did eat fish, this book would make me stop. What humans have done to the oceans is far more ing and cruel than anything that goes on in a domesticated animal slaughter house.--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Tell him hi from me. Have a great workouts this week.........I'll get back to you about this weekend. I'm wrecked from my leg workout, moving for 12-hours yesterday, etc. Lots of work to do too, but I'll check in. I enjoy training together, even if you make fun of my pants!

DV Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 Friday was the last session with my trainer. I'll miss him, especially for his bodybuilding insights.

robert Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Sorry to hear it is over! But take what you learned, apply what makes the most sense and you'll be great. Today I'm doing a massage for someone and should be done by 2PM or so and then I'm available to train. I don't remember what time you are available today.....sorry I spaced it. I have the bright green pants too! I am still wrecked from my leg workout, but I could train something upper body. I'll catch you later, gotta eat now. Monday may be a day to train as well. We'll see how things workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DV Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Yeah, great workout except that my abs were still sore from Friday. We need to do abs together one of these days. I was SO hungry when I left!

robert Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 You are too strong. Starting to get scared you may catch up. I thought about that during the workout...I was thinking DV was going to pass up a bunch of the men on the forum in lifts. Sometimes we use the same weight as well. We both had solid workouts, and both lifted heavier in the same exercises than we did last week for back. Watch out.....DV will catch you and own you!

DV Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Oh, I like that "catch you and own you." I'm going to use that one. I think I'll go into the office and tell that to my hubby right now. He just laughed. I don't think he's frightened yet. Although he did tell one of my friends that when he hears my weights, he lifts the same amount the next time he's in the gym just to make sure I'm not catching up on him. Yeah, I'm getting stronger and hope it continues for some time. I have no idea what my potential is but it's so much fun lifting heavy. It's sort of addicting in a way and it's keeping me from trying to lose any more fat right now. The thought of getting weaker is just so upsetting.

Lean and Green Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) Barbell Flat Bench65 x 1275 x 1085 x 8100 x 3 The thought of getting weaker is just so upsetting. There is nothing more admirable than seeing the women lifters in the gym not only using barbells to train but actually adding weights! I used to have to force females i'd train to even lift dumbells for presses. 100lbs is a 25lber and a 2.5lber on each side. That is truly impressive. I bow down to your awesomeness... Spoken like a true champ who knows only one thing, to succeed. I love it! I pulled up your blog for some motivation bf i went to the gym to hit up some weights and of course, as usual, I was not disappointed. You rock!
