High reps week!

Yikes!! It started yesterday! .. after the lighter week, the high reps week started! 20-30 reps per set. It sounded rough...and it totally is!! Can't use really heavy weights... cos that 20 reps totally kills you!

Emma came to train legs with me, and decided to do same workout as I did (with the high reps as well). Both were scared as hell before we even began , LOL!

I really wouldn't like to train that kind of workout without a training partner, you get soo exhausted with the high reps, and you need someone to push you go through it all..mentally and physically.

So we started with smith squats:

80kg/176lbs x 20
90kg/198lbs x 20
90kg/198lbs x 19 1/2 (lmao, i collapes on the floor when trying to push the final rep.. I just didn't have power anymore! ..had a lil rest on the floor for a bit,haha)
80kg/176lbs x 20

Then we moved on to hack squat.. Our legs were already tired and trembling.. "hack squats.. .omg...." we both thought, out loud, haha.
We thought we could only do with the machine weight (which is probably about 40kg's/88lbs), but we added 30kg's/66lbs and did all 3 sets with that.

ugh....!! PAINFUL!

Then it was time to leg press:

180kg/397lbs x 20 (easy)
230kg/507bs x 20
230kg/507lbs x 20


and then some leg extensions for 2 sets (20 reps also in both sets)...can't use much weight though.. i dunno why the hip hurts in that, but not in other exercises? oh well.. luckily that way though..

And then it was time to do the hardest part; to climb up the stairs!!..lol.
after we got ourselves up, we went to walk a bit on a treadmill and drink our well earned recovery drinks!


Today we also trained the same time, but we did our own workouts.

I did bi's and tri's.

Ez-bar scott bicep curl:
30kg/66lbs x 20
26kg/57lbs x 20
26kg/57lbs x 20
25kg/55lbs x 20

My arms were so pumped and killing me, I almost had to throw the bar down and yell out swear words! Lol!

Then I had to do some tri exercises next, cos I really couldn't curl anything for awhile...

I did seated ez bar tricep extension:
30kg/66lbs x 22
32,5kg/71.6lbs x 19
32,5kg/71.6lbs x 15 (oops!)
30kg/66lbs x 16 (oopsie #2!)

Dumbell curls:
(just almost made me laugh cos i couldn't even really hold the dumbell in my hand.. so I could only use pretty light weights)

12kg/26lbs x 20
12kg/26lbs x 16 -> 10kg x 4
10kg/22lbs x 20

Close grip bench press:
50kg/110lbs x 20
50kg/110lbs x 16 (:rolleyes:)
45kg/99lbs x 17 (....)

Rope Hammer curls:
35kg/77lbs x 25
40kg/88lbs x 20

Tricep Pushdown:
45kg/99lbs x 25
50kg/110lbs x 20

After the workout we stayed at the gym for a bit to practice posing.
I just gotta practice that i'll remember to flex all of my muscles at the same time. Like when doing side poses, you'd also remember to flex your calves and thighs etc..
Lat Spreads also need a lot of work..
As they say: "Practice makes perfect" :) So I just gotta keep doing that.





And oh, just wanted to make clear, cos it felt like people's thinking i'm going to compete this year? Cos they talked about me dieting and wishing me good luck in October.
I'm not going to compete at this years nationals. I haven't improved enough since my last competition, so I wanna be able to grow even a bit more, before I'd go compete again.
I think you guys understand.. :)



Peace out! Hahaha!

Love you guys!! <3

XoXo,
