The Biggest Loser DGN Style

[KatRN05]

Did an advanced cross-training class last night. It was crazy as hell. I did 36 sets of stairs and I wanted to vomit by the time it was all over.

[Invictus]

Judo yesterday despite the knee injury. Just threw on a brace and then threw people.

First day back to the gym

First day back to the gym

Same. I took a hiatus from the gym last week. I'm not too worried because I know I didn't gain back any weight, but I definitely didn't lose any so I'm excited to be back in the swing of things.

[Class-Punk]

I started light deadlifting again last week, as long as I keep good form I should have minimal and temporary back pain.

Max possible weight on my arms, 30 reps each. 60 minutes of cardio, an equivalent of 4.5 miles of cross-country or 750 calories .

My mom is doing this diet that I have no clue what it's called but implements use of Ketomist with it, and she has lost 13 pounds in one week. Her aunt did it, lost thirty pounds in like a month or two, and has kept it off. it's amazing o.o

also, since she's dieting, I have no awesome junk food, and I'm broooke and haven't been able to buy fast food, soooooooooooooo I've been eating really well. besides the sleeve of cookies we had left that i devoured tonight in a depression but my eating consists of, like, shirataki yam noodles, rice, chicken, catfish, spinach. that's about all I eat anymore.

Week one back to the gym... I can feel & see the difference already

[KatRN05]

I've been trying to workout almost every day this week. I took a rest day today. Tomorrow I am going to a two hour Krav maga and cross-training seminar.

[Invictus]

Bjj and judo/SAMBO for a total of 7hrs today. It was a good day.

[Oh_My_Goth]

I was going to wait until my two week mark @the gym to measure myself, but I couldn't wait... One week in & I have already lost one inch off of my waist AND an inch of my hips

[Destroit]

Been hitting the gym, both Pest and I, getting geared up for MANFAST. We're going for the next 52 days straight .

This week:

Monday: Krav/Kickboxing= 105 minutes

Tuesday: Cross-training in the a.m.= 60 minutes, then Krav and Weapons= 90 minutes

Weds: Krav/Kickboxing= 105 minutes. Skipped Ground-fighting because my knee was buggin' me.

Thursday: HIIT=30 minutes

And that concludes my workouts for the week. I haven't been lifting because we used kettle-bells during cross-training and kickboxing class. I used two 20lb kettle-bells during Tuesday's cross-training class. We did double kettle-bell swings, upright rows, curl/press and squat/press. If we're not using two kettle-bells I use the 25lb kettle-bell.

[Invictus]

Competition training tomorrow for 3 or so hours, another 5-7 hours of Judo/SAMBO Saturday. Sore from hard sparring yesterday.

Women are so weak. By doing observational research at my local gym, I've deducted I can lift about 75% more weight than all of the other women in the world, and I am better than 100% of them .

(End gloating. Seriously though...there was a girl LEG PRESSING SEVENTY FIVE POUNDS. Just...weak. Why bother getting a gym membership. I don't do anything below 250 on a bad day!)

Heh, my instructor must've finally had it with the "I don't want to get big " remarks from all the chicks in the kickboxing classes I go to because he ranted about how that's a fucking myth then made all the bitches in class get a twenty pound kettle bell instead of their normal ten pound KB.

20? See this is why I go out of my way to make other women feel awful, at least ones that are pathetically weak (which is all of them that aren't as strong as I am, which is every single female I've ever met since birth). That and I want to get fucking huge, I don't understand why someone wouldn't want to be epically strong, it's just practical if you want to be awesome. I will never understand why someone would WANT to be small or weak . STILL trying to study women out and how they think and WHAT would ever possess them to logically think that way... : .

Oh well, what really matters is that I'm on top! Life's a friendly competition and I'm pulling first .

It's a kettle bell. Twenty pounds is pretty heavy for a beginner. I just started lifting 25lbs. It's a different weight-lifting form. I did squat and press with two twenty pound kettle bells and that was pretty tough. I started using a 25lb kettle bell for some of the stuff we do like push presses and swings. We have heavier kettle bells 35lb, 45lb, and 53lb but I'm not strong enough to lift those...yet. Anyhow, I can tell in my arms, shoulders and chest that I am getting the same results I would get if I was lifting weights in the gym. I like the stuff we do in cross-training because it's never the same and it's fun despite the urge to vomit I get when class is over. I just started to find lifting at the gym boring.

And you don't have to be big to be strong. But that's what you want. I just want to be stronger.

And you don't have to be big to be strong.

Glad you're starting to get up there. And no I guess you don't have to be big to be strong; you gotta be strong to be "strong". I guess it's a difference thing, I don't go to the gym to have fun, I go there to get down to bidness and get some bulk going :. Different goals I suppose. When I first got back into weight training I felt a little silly because I had to start back on something like 50 lbs, so I felt like one of those girls for a minute there (compared to what I was used to lifting when I used to hit the gym in my early 20s).

Update: Scale says I'm only down two more pounds, but since my pants are coming off me, I think my results are thrown off because of the added muscle (Muscle weights around three times more than fat). I'm punching out 60 minutes of high-intensity cardio a day. Legs I'm averaging 200-250 something lbs per muscle (that's high weight, low reps around 30 or how long I can go without dying), core varies because my back is way stronger than my abs (almost 300 lbs for my back, almost 200 lbs on abs), and arms I need to work on most only averaging under 100 lbs for the same reps. It's better than when I first started and was only averaging 50 lbs though, that's what I keep telling myself anyway. Oh well, I'll get up past a hundred in no time since I've been sticking with it due to the free time I get on this job.

eating uber healthy has caused me to lose like 4 pounds *dances*

[Invictus]

Setting up my weight equipment, sledgehammers, sled and flipping tires in a cheapo 10x10 storage unit. Fuck gyms.

[Invictus]

7 hours of BJJ/Judo/SAMBO. Got cuffed in the head during sparring and perforated an eardrum. I need to get some wrestling headgear to protect the ear.
