Guest guest Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Well - the copycat may strike again! I'm doing legs with at the Sweat Shop (small gym at work) today but would like to do this one tomorrow! THANK YOU for listing out the exercises, ! I printed them off and I'll probably do the workout without the video and use my own music. I always enjoy seeing what weights you use Hugs! Good morning! Today was my next to last meso 2 workout. I did #22 chest, shoulders & triceps. This one was quite different. I actually thought I put in Meso 1 by accident with all the pushups and I couldn't believe it was so much shorter then all the other chest, shoulder, tricep workouts in this cycle. CHEST: Pushups wide - 10 reps- toes Pushups standard- 10 reps- toes Pushups wide- 10 reps- toes Pushups standard- to failure- toes 10 reps Flat bench press 12/10/8 50BB Incline chest flys 12/10/8 20 Incline bench press 12/10/8 50BB SHOULDERS: Seated overhead press - Drop sets 15/12/10- too heavy for me Incline front raises - Drop sets 8/7/5 Seated lateral raises- Drop sets 10/8/7 Seated rear delts- Drop sets 12/10/8 TRICEPS: Flat bench tricep extensions 12/10/8 15 Close grip push ups (3 sets) 10 reps each knees Kickbacks double arm - Drop sets 8/7/5 Those drop sets are fast so I couldn't lift as heavy as I thought I could. After I did this I put in Muscle Max thinking I'd just do the stretch. I ended up doing the abs and stretch. Man, the abs in this one is hard. I despise those jack knifes. I do the bend knee version and I still hate them. All of this clocked in at 1 hr. I was rushing to get out the door for school.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Good job, ! I liked hearing about this kbell workout being done with a dumbbell! I keep trying to like kbells, but I haven't been won over yet. I'm not ready to give up on them, but I probably won't be trying any kbell workouts anytime soon. Hugs to your pups!

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Oh god I hate the " sit and stands " . Ben had me do those with an ungodly amount of weight. 30 lbs for lunges???? WOW MICHELLE! Good morning! Today was CTX Leaner Legs. I was happy it wasn't cardio, but knew my legs were going to get it good. Of course I didn't sleep well (what's new right?) so I wasn't enthused to do much of anything. Just felt really tired. I decided to start this workout with yoga and skip that long non weighted squat warm up. I did Quick Fix Power Yoga and did the " Endurance " routine. I got super warm with this one. Then on to the workout.... Barbell Squats 30 Quarter deadlifts with barbell - I did Calve raises for all the dead lifts. Calf raises Leg press: 3 sets each leg, with 8's static lunges with the back foot elevated on the step - 10 Quarter deadlifts with barbell - calves Calf raises Repeat barbell squat series - 30 sit and stands with barbell - 30 Quarter deadlifts with barbell - calves Calf raises static lunges 30 ( had to stop on the low ends. I was burning too bad) Plie squats with barbell - 30 Quarter deadlifts with barbell - calves Calf raises Ab work This workout hurt! I was sweating like crazy. Glad its done!!!

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I hate when that happens (and it has happened to me too)!! Good job getting it done anyway, ! Tuesday Workout Good morning! Well, I guess I had a brain freeze moment this morning with my workout. I decided to do another one of Cathe's Classics. I have a big book where I have all my workouts printed out and the details of each one. I couldn't find my paper for Step Fit so I figured since I hadn't printed that one out then that means I haven't done it yet. So that's what I decided to do. Well, I got to the first step section and realized that I had already done that one. I was already committed so I went ahead and did it again. I've still yet to find my paper on it. Oh well, I did a workout and my body didn't know the difference, but I was so mad at myself. I looked at my calendar book and sure enough I did it on the 13th of this month. I cut the warm up and cool down short as I always do with the Cathe's older workouts. Just too long and drawn out for me. I burned 446 with this one and my Fitbit tells me I traveled 6,000 steps. My legs weren't really sore this morning when I got up, but once I started the step workout they started talking to me. Now, they are really talking to me along with my rear delts. Man, don't know why I can never get sore in my front shoulder area. Have a great day! ~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 , I have a hard time getting sore in the front shoulder area too!!! What's up with that! I work til fatigue and they hurt like the dickens at the time but seldom the next day or if they do it's so minor I don't count it. I have shoulders today with my friend lie at the Sweat Shop, and then tonite, LEGS WITH NOEL. ow ow ow. Good morning! Well, I guess I had a brain freeze moment this morning with my workout.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Nice job, ! Thanks for your thoughts on this one. I had my eye on it for a trade and couldn't decide if I wanted it or not, even after watching clips. I also thought that the demo in the lower corner was a nice touch, though! Sounds like a good workout for something different, but I'll likely hold off since it doesn't fit in with my current rotation. And nice job with the Fitbit stats from last week! Wow!

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Good morning! Well, I'm continuing on with the new Cathe workouts. Today I did her Tri-Set Upper Body. I felt like I couldn't go as heavy with the speed she was going. Some of the exercises were really tough, especially the solider planks and the kickback planks. Here's how it all went: Each set of 3 is repeated twice Chest, Shoulders, Triceps Solider Planks- toes Incline Shoulder Press- 15 Lying Tricep Extensions- 10 Pushups- toes (did regular without the foot movement) Incline Arch Raises- 8 Plank Kickbacks 8 Alternating Chest Flys 15 External Rotation Lateral Raise 10/8 Dive Bombers or See Saw Pushups (did the see saw) Back, Biceps, Core One Arm Row w/ rear leg raise 20 Incline Bicep Curls 15 Ball Crunches Pullovers 20 (she went fast on this one. Geesh) Simultaneous Curls 12 Ball Exchange Rear Delt Fly 5 Concentration Curls 15/12 Reverse Crunch I actually could've done without the abs since I didn't feel much from any of it for some reason. I really like this one, but I have to say, it will be another dreaded one since it's once again, pretty tough!!! I'll wear my HRM next time....Oh, and shoes. I usually don't wear shoes with upper body, but I found my feet slipping while on the ball (note to self). Have a great day!~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
