New updated workout, out with old in with new..

[Bonnie]

Yeah suppose I should be grateful I can gain after 14 months.Actually they may have been that big all along, I let the measuring tape relax more this time

[EdgarHF]

I wish I could complain about arms being to big too.

[Bonnie]

I probably wouldn't be so sensitive if everyone didn't scream OMG look at your arms when they meet me. After awhile I became a little self conscious, though 10 inch muscle ones still beat the previous 12 inch flabby ones, for that I'm grateful You can have arms if you want them edgar, they are actually the first muscle group to become visible on most people, I think ?

[Fygle]

It's envy, Bonnie. Enjoy it!

Had to reverse order of doing things, due to a chick who always runs to the squat rack when she see's me.Wouldn't be so bad if she didn't have a habit of adding in a ridiculous amount of stretching BETWEEN sets & whatever else she piddles around with on the ball etc.I think now that I've made sure squats are chair height, I can raise the weight, wanted to make sure I was doing the full movement. Think I've corrected that twisting to one side issue also.Hope everyone is having a good day

Yes they should be, because they don't store Fat that easily, as there's not much storage or expansion room for Fat to lurk. Some people can be 30-40lbs overweight and look a little bit buff in the Forearm area when they move the Arms.

However they may possibly come a close second to Calves, though I can't be 100% certain of that. I'd think they come first ahead of Calves being honest.

Todays workout

HIIT elliptical res level 8

20 mins..1 minute/2 minute
10 minutes @ 4.2 HR low 150's

Think I will try & find out resting HR in the morning, though without a HR monitor I doubt those machines will tell me accurately or when I need them to, sometimes it NEVER shows up.The more muscle I gain the more I notice the small amount of fat left. The fat on the legs is very noticeable when I start off on interval, flapping forward.On a positive note that was arms as recently as this spring doing it, so is progress.The legs will be the final frontier, even the abs are continuing to slough off.I am not healthy enough with this allergy & low energy to even contemplate another carb cut to rid myself of it faster.I really don't relish low carb days already, even though I think they are necessary.To be truthful sometimes I really hate this restrictive diet.Even if I want to have bad food I know I will be sick, so why bother.I guess there are issues on both ends of the spectrum of fitness.

[Bonnie]

Yes Now lets see if we can bump those pull ups along

[Fygle]

Yeah you're doing great. Myself I'm stuck on pulls/chins the last couple weeks, other exercises I'm able to push further. Suggestions?

[Bonnie]

Well you've already taken yours to the next level by adding weight.There will be a ceiling effect eventually on what a body can lift, if not we would all be walking around carrying our cars instead of driving them Though fygle all I can say is mine was all in mind, it is a number I wanted to achieve so I pushed for it.
