Hibiscus09's Competition Progress Pics Thread - Page 10

hibiscus09 · 07-27-2005, 01:15 AM

Aww, thanks Powerman!! Not offensive at all. I want my trunk to look good!

Thanks, 1st!

The most I've ever done on the leg press is 815lbs at my old gym, but I think these are set at a slightly higher angle in this gym and when I go too heavy I feel it in my lower back/hip in an uncomfortable way, so I'm capping out in the 600#s now for quad day.

Okay, today was busy, busy, busy. Woke up at 5:00am to do cardio, then thought I had a nail appointment at 7:00am, but it was actually tomorrow. Made me wanna cry. LOL So, I cancelled tomorrow's and found another place to do my nails and toes today. Then, I had a buff and bronze, a facial, and an eyebrow waxing. Beautification for my contests.

I finally made it to the gym late this afternoon.

Here's the damage:

Walked around the track 10 minutes to warm up. Man, the gym is crowded right after work time.

*I'm at the gym trying to figure out what to do exercisewise that won't rub off my buff and bronze before it sets well. LMAO!

Straight Leg Deadlifts*Started these with preweighted bars because Dufus#1 was in my way in the one and only squat rack.

15 reps X 70lbs
15 reps X 80lbs
15 reps X 90lbs
10 reps X 135lbs*dufus moved
10 reps X 135lbs
7 reps X 135lbs*strap weren't wrapped right
10 reps X 135lbs

One Leg Deadlifts

10 reps each leg holding 25lb dumbbell
10 reps each leg holding 35lb dumbbell
10 reps each leg holding 40lb dumbbell
10 reps each leg holding 40lb dumbbell

SuperSet Leg Press High and Wide with Leg Press Calves

Leg Press

10 reps X 315lbs
10 reps X 315lbs
10 reps X 405lbs
10 reps X 495lbs

Calves

15 reps X 315lbs
15 reps X 315lbs
15 reps X 405lbs
12 reps X 495lbs

**Miracles do happen in my yuppie gym!! A guy came up and said, "Man, that's a lot of weight. I'll unload this side." Woo-hoo! That always happened at my old gym, but I'm thinking most of the peeps at this gym can't lift the 45lb weight. LOL

One Leg Curl

10 reps each leg X 35lbs
10 reps each leg X 40lbs
8 reps each leg X 45lbs
7 reps each leg X 45lbs

Angled Calves

15 reps X 100lbs
10 reps X 135lbs
10 reps X 135lbs
10 reps X 135lbs

*All the cardio machines were full. All of them and there are about 25 to 30. I walked around the track for 15 minutes, then when a treadmill cleared, I walked 45 minutes at 15% incline and 4.0mph.

Home now. Exhausted!! Whine, whine. Pam said no more creatine. Good riddance.

Ya'll be good!

1stindoor · 07-27-2005, 11:14 AM

I agree, one of the nicest things you can do for someone in the gym is help them unload the plates.

hibiscus09 · 07-28-2005, 01:01 AM

Okie dokie -- long day!! I felt good though because I slept well last night. yay! Finally!

Okay, I practiced posing with Kristy at 3:00. It was supposed to be at 11:00 and I wrote down 11:00 on my calendar and still thought it was at 3:00. I'm such a ditz lately! Anyway, she called from the gym and I felt so bad about it -- she said she'd come back at 3:00. I went by the Fresh market and bought her a bottle of wine and she liked that. LOL

She said I'm doing great with my posing, but I suppose that goes out the window once I'm nervous and on stage. :p I do still have trouble with my lat spread, but it is what it is.

After posing practice, I did back/biceps/cardio.

Pullups

12
11
9
8

Straight Arm Pushdowns

10 reps X 80lbs
10 reps X 90lbs
10 reps X 100lbs
8 reps X 110lbs

Straight Bar Curls

10 reps X 50lbs
9 reps X 55lbs
5 reps X 60lbs, 6 reps X 40lbs
5 reps X 55lbs, 4 reps X 40lbs

One Arm Dumbbell Rows

10 reps each arm X 30lb dumbbell
10 reps each arm X 40lb dumbbell
10 reps each arm X 50lb dumbbell
8 reps each arm X 55lb dumbbell

Hammer Curls with Rope Attachment

12 reps X 50lbs
10 reps X 60lbs
10 reps X 70lbs
8 reps X 80lbs

After this I did 25 minutes walking at 15% incline and at 4.0mph, then I rowed for 10 minutes, waiting for the Stairmaster, then I did the Stairmaster for 20 minutes.

One of Britt's friends came up laughing in the gym today -- a girl -- and said one of her guy friends asked her if she knew the girl in the paper because she sure was hot. That was the "Member of the Month" ad our gym does and it was an article on me. :p She said, "That's Brittany Smith's mom!" and he said, "Oh my God!!" Makes my heart happy. LOL

That's all!

Dan · 07-28-2005, 01:55 AM

hibiscus09 · 07-28-2005, 02:01 AM

Thank you, Dan! I've felt pretty tired sometimes but seem to be able to keep working out.

I forgot to tell you guys, my photoshoot is tomorrow. I'm so excited! It will be tons of fun!

Josie · 07-28-2005, 02:52 AM

Hib dont worry to much, the definition of you back is amazing and I'm sure your lat spread will look amazing...

hibiscus09 · 07-28-2005, 01:00 PM

hibiscus09 · 07-29-2005, 04:00 AM

Hope ya'll are all doing well!

hibiscus09 · 07-29-2005, 04:13 AM

Yep -- some of them were a little too revealing, but surely out of 600 there will be something I can post. LOL He's going to let me know when the DVD is ready. He has sent me a few. I really like them a lot. I might post one or two if I get the nerve!

1stindoor · 07-29-2005, 11:32 AM

hibiscus09 · 07-30-2005, 08:34 PM

Hi everyone!

I've had a slight medical issue and was not able to workout today. Two days of slacking right before my contest.

Anyway, the doctor put me on some medication and it should be fine by tomorrow. Such excitement.

Thanks for ya'lls support --

-- but my man said he'd rather I not post the pics, so I'd better not.

My first show is a week from today. Man, time is flying!

hibiscus09 · 07-31-2005, 04:38 PM

Feeling better.

Going to head to the gym around 1:00, after tanning.

hibiscus09 · 07-31-2005, 11:18 PM

Got my new numbers -- 28 protein, 8 carbs, 8 fat each meal. Fun, fun.

Went to tan today. Set up my airbrush schedule for my pro-tanning.

Alrighty -- depletion workout + cardio + antibiotic = nausea. :p

Leg Press High and Wide, supersetted with Leg Press Feet Together*rested 1 minute between supersets

225lbs X 25 reps High and Wide X 25 reps Feet Together X 4 sets

*That made me feel nauseated as heck and my leggies were burning, burning.

Straight Leg Deadlifts *60 second rest

25 reps X 50lb straight bar
25 reps X 60lb straight bar
25 reps X 65lb straight bar
25 reps X 65lb straight bar
25 reps X 65lb straight bar *still feeling nauseated.

Hacks -- Shoulder Width Stance

20 reps X 90lbs

Superset Leg Extensions and Leg Curls*60 second rest between supersets
