GirlyMuscle's Hangout

[GirlyMuscle]

I started training my bikini chick this week. In fact, she's signed on to rxmuscle as BikiniChica. Hi Carla!

We did measurements and pics. Yesterday we did a basic upper body program. Today we did legs. And I mean WE did legs. Since my car is in the shop, I decided to train at Planet Fitness on leg day with a brand new bikini chicka in tow.

I was actually very pleasantly surprised. I dropped my weights but added reps. Twenty to twenty-five for most sets. We trained together, adding plates, and pulling them off. I can train with her. She's not the norm. She may be just starting out but I think she has the heart. There was a point where she was repping out on the leg press. The weight was unimportant. It was truly heavy for her. I asked her for sets of 20. I could see the burn start around 10-12 rep and that's when her eyes narrowed and she focused on something distant and mentally pumped out those reps to 20. It was really nice to see that. We flowed well together, too. We talked but didn't get gabby side tracked. We completed a full leg and ab day in a little less than an hour. She can hang.

Awesome stuff.

I think she's read every article and watched every video over at rxgirl. When I saw her yesterday I said, "Stephaniewicked won her class!" She said, "does she get her pro card??" She's so into it. She goes to college for Exercise Such-n-such and her guidance counselor is IFBB Fitness Pro Tracey Greenwalt.

Had to work a split shift at Applebees and train my BikiniChica. Oh and get my workout in. And Cardio. So....

7am get up and eat
meal 1 4 egg whites, 1/3 c oatmeal
9am train BIkiniChica and forget to eat meal 2
legs, 45 min cardio
11am eat meal 2 3 oz chicken...work
1pm Meal 3 more chicken forgot to pack a potato
2pm get cut from lunch shift
3pm 30 more min cardio
4pm back to work and realize I should have eaten at 3 so I eat meal 4 more chicken
6pm should have ate but was working and forgot the time
8pm home meal 5 3 oz london broil, 1/2 c broccoli

So I'm behind in meals but I did get all my exercise in and all my water. (1.5 GALLONS)

I've been trying this new 8 meals plan where I have to eat really tiny portions every two hours. As you can see time gets away from me easily and I end up missing eating times. It's only been 2 1/2 weeks since I started this. Some days I'm spot on and other days I slip, however, the slips have been skipping meals, not eating what I shouldn't.

Erin, looking jacked in that avi! Keep up the good work.

[GirlyMuscle]

Thanks! Gimme 10 more pounds and I'll be looking like that Avi again.

That was weighing about 155 during last year's contest prep. I'm currently around 165-167. So gimme about 3 weeks. I'll take some new ones.

Nooooo don't! You really suit your hair long Girlymuscle.
Short hair is high maitenace...you will be forever playing with it to get it right! You look great with long hair!

[GirlyMuscle]

I just set off the Lunk Alarm fort he first time ever in my career at Planet Fitness. Bunch of young guys, purposely slamming the smith racks. It was loud. I usually don't give a shit about that stuff but this wasn't because they are training that hard, it was because they are fucking around.
