Ok I start training at Welcome to The Fitness Factory!
I start training on Monday and this will be my new schedule per the trainer.

Mon legs 1030am
Tues shoulders same as Mon
Wed chest (sometimes w/leg shaping) 10:30am
Thurs back same as Tues
Fri arms same as Mon a.m. times
Sat off
Sun chest 10am, legs 1245pm

and 2-3 times a night I have to add in an evening workout with light weights and maybe cardio.

**Crader** · 01-26-2008, 07:48 PM

Did chest and shoulder day today. Went fairly heavy but did no cardio at all. I'm going to go light tomorrow since I start Mon. I don't want to go in tired or sore.

**Crader** · 01-28-2008, 05:32 PM

Wow! Today was intense, I barely made it through and then I was sick for a good 20 min after.

She had me do leg day, backward runs dragging her across the floor with resistance bands.

All machine work was done at 15 reps for 4 sets.

One legged deadlifts 15 times per leg for 4 sets

Squats at bodyweight plus 24lbs 4 sets of 20.

Weighted walking lunges across the floor.

Jumping Jack squats 10 x 4 sets.

6 sets of 30 for calves.

There were a few other things but by then I was so sick...
It totally blew my blood pressure, I had ear popping and dizziness, serious nausea. I told her I thought I was going to be sick...her response, swallow it and keep going

She said she lost one girl in an earlier class to puking. I can see how. I wanted to die! But I made it!!! Barely..

Tomorrow is shoulder day, hope I make it.

I tried a Reloaded and Vasoxplode before I went. I think for a bit I'll nix pre -workout supps. Might have had a little to do with the puking thing.

**Crader** · 01-28-2008, 05:33 PM

Here is a pre Thanksgiving pic. To help guage progress on this new program. I'll update at the Arnold if I make it.

I'd puke too!

very impressive, Christine!

**Crader** · 01-28-2008, 07:57 PM

LOL Thanks, on to shoulders tomorrow. Now I did shoulders Sat and they are still sore, so we will see how it goes?

**Crader** · 01-29-2008, 05:11 PM

Ok Well shoulders were definitly hard. We did 4 sets of no less than 15 reps of everything. My shoulders were screaming at me!! But I made it!!!! 2 days down, only 4 1/2 more weeks to go.

Now tomorrow is chest day and guess what, leg shaping! She laughed at me because I can barely walk. Said after a brutal workout on Wed she does the leg thing again to help with pain and stiffness. Hopefully I will be able to put my shoes on tomorrow

RaSP · 01-30-2008, 02:29 PM

Yeah I love 20 rep squatz. Can't wait to hear how today goes for you.

How old are the kids? How's their training going?

How are the Thyrotabs working for you?

*R*

**Crader** · 01-30-2008, 04:18 PM

I'm waiting to see if I survive today. I'm still in a great deal of pain from Monday. i really can't imagine using my legs yet.

The kids are 10,8, and 6. They are loving the bootcamp. I have them in it twice a month.

The thyrotabs are working pretty good, although they seem to trigger headaches.

RaSP · 01-30-2008, 08:06 PM

That's about the same ages as my boys (my oldest is 11). I've been a little unsure about what kind of routine to use for them. Can you tell me more about this boot camp? Sample routines or anything?

As for the legs, working them will surely take the edge off the pain... afterwards.

In the meantime, some ibuprofen may be in order.

Let us know how it goes.....

**Crader** · 01-30-2008, 09:12 PM

She has them doing plyometrics and weight drags and cardio with light weights.

**Crader** · 01-31-2008, 01:12 AM

I made it!!!!! Woohoooo I am so proud of myself.

It was chest/leg sculpting day. Now I did not think I would be able to make it through that. For legs she had me do 20reps for 4 sets of alternating step ups on a weight bench.

4 sets of 20 jumping jack lunges
4 sets of weighted plate drags dragging a plate with my feet in a pushup positon with my hands across the gym floor
4 sets of deadlifts using 2 25lb dumbells 10 times.

For chest I did 4 sets of 15 decline bench
4 sets of 15 on pec deck
4 sets of 6 pushups on 2 weighted balls supersetted with 4 sets of 20 dumbell presses

4 sets 15 reps of laying pullovers supersetted with the deads
4 sets of 15 reps chest presses supersetted with 4 sets of 10 walking your way on your hands to a pushup and pushing your hands up in a hop motion and walking your hands back up to a stand....this one hurt!

Thur she is putting me on her contest diet and the fun begins!! I actually cant wait I'm pumped that I have been able to keep going!

that sounds brutal! best of luck on your diet!

**Crader** · 01-31-2008, 02:01 PM

Lol it is brutal, its a 45min session with everything supersetted, no rest to eliminate cardio.

Well my legs are still super sore, yikes. I hope they get better by Monday so I can do it all again. My whole upper body is feeling it today. Tonight it will either be arms or back, thats all I have left.

She is going to have me on a strict diet. I know she wanted me to be eating six meals a day with a min of 20grams of protein a meal.

**Crader** · 02-01-2008, 04:11 PM

Well I had a great arm day. I'm still sore from chest day. I missed back day so I have to make it up at 9am on Sun. She does not want me to post diet or routines so it will only be highlights now.

kimsquit · 02-01-2008, 05:00 PM

are you having any trouble sleeping after all that intense training?
