morning ironmass!

well i must say i have been looking at the IMPC pictures and i am so proud of everyone who joined! if i had had my head on straight i would have joined too....but i can still DO the workouts and eat right right along with everyone so i have decided to do my own little PPC...hahaha! i will take some before pictures this evening or tomorrow morning and then i will post updates every month until the IMPC is over! this will help me stay focused!! yay!

although im not too thrilled at showing how much weight i gained back i have to start somewhere right??


:clapping:


ok time to go to work...ill be back soon! SERIOUS back DOMS today! woot!

Hey Pammie

You have a great attitude and you are exactly right about starting wherever you are and keep on going. Your enthusiasm and motivation is contagious -I was feeling bad about some missed WOs and reading this post remotivated me! Thanks!

PS It is not too late - you can still join IMPC! Just put your pics up next month between the 1st and 10th and join us, it would be awesome to have you back this year! I'll definitely try to come by and check out your progress either way...you rock!

Ya Pammie I agree, if your going to be posting pics every month anyway why not enter the MIP. If you do well the small penalty you'll get for missing the first set will be easy to overcome.

pammiejoe6

oh hell i dunno...im skeered to join the impc....lol


OH MY GAWD YALL MY LEGS ARE NOODLES! :clapping:

as soon as i got home from my errands i got right outside and did my workout....it was Quad dominant w/ biceps today and man oh man did it kick my ass!

heres what i did:

ATF squats: 5x5 ~ 85lbs
lunges: 3x8 ~ BW
SLDL 3x8 ~ 85lbs <--hammie accessory
BB curls: 5x5 ~ 45lbs
DB curls: 3x8 ~ 15lbs
hammer curls: 3x8 ~ 15lbs

ok....so i started with the squats. its been a really long time since i did any squats so i was a TINY BIT skeered....lol...i stayed relatively light with the weight and everything went great! eyes up....ass back and down...breathing throughout...awesome! by the third set i could feel my quads under my fat legs aching and screaming for more! by the 5th set i was dying but i felt so damn good! i also cleaned the barbell for all 5 sets...this in itself is a workout!!! hahah!!
next i HAD planned on doing leg extentions but when i got over there i realized someone has lost the little pin thing that i need to put in the leg extention thingy so it will be at proper height for my knees....boo hoo.....so i switched to lunges even though i didnt want to....hahaha....i can honestly say that the lunges practically killed me! i didnt even use any weight with them at all and they still were the hardest damn thing i have done in like forever! ugh! hahaha! i suffered through all 3 sets of 8 but man i didnt like one freaking second of it. i also forgot that when i do lunges i have to wear shoes or i bend my toes back too far and they hurt afterward...now they hurt....but its ok....at least i did the farkers! LOL
ok....hammie accessory was next....SLDL...these felt fabulous....they targeted my hammies in a big way! all 3 sets of 8 went very smoothly!
NOODLICIOUS!
ok biceps were next....i started with the barbell curls....only loaded up 45lbs on the barbell but they felt perfect so i stayed at that weight for the entire 5 sets. man did i miss these....i can definitely increase that weight very soon.
db curls were next....as silly as it sounds that i only used 15lb dbs for these i did....hahah.....they felt good....a little challenging but nothing too much....i am sure 20lbs would do the trick next time.
same with hammer curls....the 15lbs wasnt TOO heavy...it was just a tad NOT heavy enough....but by the last set of 8 i had a nice ache going so i was pleased!

WHHOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! 2 workouts in a row! hahahahah!!!!!

i forgot to mention that TOM showed up this morning....yuck...i am SUPER bloated so im not taking pictures today....ill take them in a few days once TOM is gone!

hey there Pammie,

Good to see you hitting the IRON hard again You're back to your old self. I can't wait to see your progress pics. As for the IMPC, do whatever is motivating to you...if that means doing your own lil' transformation contest, then do it. We will all be watching and cheering you along!

pammiejoe6

yeah JJ i really dont want to jump in too quick yanno....i feel like i have to get myself together and be SURE i am together before committing myself to a contest.....esp one that i already quit once in my life! UGH! hahaha! but we wont dwell on that....hahaha! i think i am on the right track pulling motivation FROM the impc and posting my shtuff in here....this way i can still hold myself accountable but not disappoint anyone ( other than myself) if i screw up! but im not planning on doing any screwing up.....screwing DOWN possibly but not UP ( i dont think....hahahah).....we shall see what happens.....

at any rate i am THRILLED to be so sore!

pammiejoe6

wow its been a busy day! i worked for the neighbor today....went shopping for her and took her granddaughter and my kids to lunch....lol....after that i was able to go get my own groceries so now i am all stocked up on Low Carb legals and i am pumped!

no workout today....i am SO sore i know i need to rest one day....tomorrow i will do hip/hammie workout! it honestly feels really good to have my mind back into the workout mode...no more than 2 days off PERIOD as far as that goes....i know from experience that i cant give myself any leeway in that regard.

eating has been PURRRRRRRRRRRFECT! im super happy!

ok time to get to the chores around here! hugs ya'll!

JJ_Sungirl

I am so excited for you, Pammie. You sound like you're really motivated and back on track! WOOT! Now where are those pics? I miss you're face

pammiejoe6

haha! well ill take some fat pics next week ok? TOM is visiting right now and i am bloated...


hahah! hugs JJ!

JJ_Sungirl

*hugs to you too, kiddo* Have a good weekend!

pammiejoe6

ok so i just finished my workout! yay! hehehe! at first i thought i was spozed to do hip/hammies for the workout but then i realized its Verticle Push/Pull today!


heres what i did:

cable pulldowns: 5x5 ~ 75lbs
rear pulldowns: 1x8 ~ 50lbs, 2x8 ~ 60lbs
bent over rows: 3x8 ~ 65lbs
seated db raises: 5x5 ~ 20lbs
db upright rows: 3x8 ~ 15lbs
rear delt raises: 2 drop sets (10/5) ~ 7.5lbs, 5lbs

i started with the cable pulldowns today....75lbs wasnt EXTREMELY difficult but i stuck with it anyway....by the 4th and 5th sets i really FELT THEM!
rear pulldowns were next....since i know from experience that i cant use as much weight on the rear pulldowns as the front ones i lowered the weight to only 50lbs....but the first set was way too easy so i added 10lbs and did the last 2 sets with 60lbs....MUCH better!
bent over rows were last for back...i used 65lbs on these and MAN did they feel great! whohoooo!
shoulder stuff was next....since i have a history of shoulder prollems i stayed fairly light on my weights....20lbs each dumbbell still didnt feel heavy enough for the seated db raises so next time i will raise the weight to 25lbs each db. overall though these felt very good....just not heavy enough...
db upright rows were next...15lbs each dumbbell was perfect! i got a great burn on these!
last were the rear delt raises....i did two drop sets of 10/5 on these....7.5lbs for the higher set and 5lbs for the lower. fantastic burn in my rear delts on these!

overall i am super pleased that i got this workout done! i was seriously going down hill earlier....even laid down and almost had a nap but got myself up and out the door to the workout! yay me!

pammiejoe6
