GirlyMuscle's Hangout

[Sledge]

They had them at the warehouse gym we trained at. I use a trolley jack.

17 weeks out, weighing 165. This is down from a high of 180 in April. I'm figuring I have at least 35 more to lose.

Your a huge muscle monster. HOWEVER your butt seems to be shrinking. This is unacceptable.

[GirlyMuscle]

Bye bye butt.

[Mac]

Great video and good luck in your prep.

Too bad Sledge isn't happy with the disappearing butt.

[Sledge]

Bye bye butt.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.




Hehehehe I made it grow back once before I can grow it back again. Don't you worry about a thing. I'll do most of the cooking again when you get here.

But I guess if it has to shrink, presentation is everything

I was thinking finding a Lady Ga Ga song to pose to but maybe I shoud use Sir Mix-a-lot.

I was looking through my max-ot log. I just finished it. It was 6 months work of workouts which took me about 7 1/2 months to complete. I had weeks off from traveling, etc. Thinking back to when Paula asked if I got stronger with max-ot I decided to go back and see how much my weights had changed. These are all working sets.

Squats I started at 198, finished at 242.
Bench I started at 132, finished at 175.
Leg Press I started at 529, finished at 810.
Deadlifts I started at 225, finished at 305.
Pullups I started at assisted with 80 lbs for 6, to body weight for 10.


So yeah, I think max-ot is a good program. I really like it and I think the results have been pretty good.

You are Crazy Strong girl !
My starting weights are way lower so my gains will be less but if I can make decent progress it well worth it.
It's weird how weak my weights seem on the forums yet at my fitness center I am out lifting most guys and the girls all use silly useless weights.

Hey I have a copy of the program GM and I used for max ot. It's the 6 month program in the back of the PDF I sent the link to the other day but in a printable workout log format. If you two want a copy pm me an email address and I'll forward it to you.

One of the hardest things for me was following the program as written. I would look at some parts and think that doesn't make sense, I want to do it my way.
GM and I often said that some of it didn't seem right to us. But we stuck with it as written regardless and it worked.

PS. the second 4 weeks where it had 50 pull ups in the least amount of sets to get there as the first exercise on back day SUCKED. But it worked regardless of how much we bitched about it.

It's all relative. One thing I've learned is that it only matters that the weight is heavy FOR YOU. The weight you lift is not related to the size of the muscle that's for sure. What is important is that you train hard and progress. The weight you lift isn't important, it's your intensity and heart and you have that!
