I was at 231 Sat morn at the gym - then today was 234
OK - last week we (me & the bro) are doing our normal workout regime for legs - mind you this is our 5th week of training & both me & the bro have seen great results so far.
Anyways, he starts talking to "MrPuffyGuy-who-thinks-he-is-huge-but-the-only-reason-he-is-big-is-because-he-sticks-his-chest-out" - I'll call him workout Nazi (WON) from here on out.
The guy is a very nice guy, but he's been there for 2 years & he still looks the same. (OK - we've been going 2 years too, but I just used to go around haphazardly during my workouts, but since our new "program" started, there is definite result-age - not to mention Joel has dropped an impressive 50 spot in the past year)
So anyways, WON sees us doing squats & comes over & says we're doing it wrong. He takes off a hundred pounds & grabs the bro & throws him on the Smith machine & yells "GO FOR IT! SQUAT LIKE YOU WANT IT!!!!!! YOUR HEEL MUST TOUCH YOUR ASS!!!!!!!!!!" Before when we'd squat, we'd go down, but not that far down & used a higher weight...
So the bro goes down & WON grabs him from behind like a reverse bear hug & holds him & pulls him down until his ass is hitting his heels & then he pulls him up & yells "ONE!" Then he lets him go & yells "GIMME A DOZEN MORE JUST LIKE THAT!!!"
The bro does an admirable job & then WON yells "NEXT!" & grabs me & throws me into the Smith machine. He does the same bear hug to me & yells "FEEL THE BURN!" "DON'T BE A PU**Y. YOU'RE BROTHER KICKED YOUR ASS" - so I complete my squat sets with a burn that I never felt before. SO my hammies & quads are on fire now....
...and I go on to the leg press machine. I am starting my first rep & WON comes over & yells "THERE'S TOO MUCH WEIGHT ON THERE! YOU'LL KILL YOURSELF" so he takes 2 plates off each side and yells "LET's SEE A FLUID MOTION. NO MORE 4 COUNTS - I WANT A 2 COUNT - NO LOCKING KNEES AT THE TOP. UP-DOWN-UP-DOWN! INHALE WHEN IT'S COMING DOWN! EXHALE WHEN THE WEIGHT IS GOING UP!"
So I complete my first set of 12 reps in like 12 seconds - then the bro gets on the machine & WON repeats his tirade. When he's through, he yells to me "GET IN THERE! GIMME A GOOD SET THIS TIME!" So I complete my set & then do 2 more. I think I tore a hammie on set #4, rep # 6....but WON yelled at me for slacking.
When we are done with our leg presses, we hobble over to the calf section on the other side of the gym - out of sight of WON - & start doing calf exercises. When we're more than 1/2 way through our sets, WON walks over - nay sprints over - & yells "ARE WE READY FOR SOME CALVES!"
At this time, my calves are solid as a rock. He throws the bro on the donkey calf & yells "SUPERSET! GIMME 30 REPS!!!" After 30 reps he grabs the bro & puts him on the calf press & yells "GIMME 30 MORE!" & when he was done with that - he yelled "CALF RAISES!" & put him on the calf raise machine.
While all this was going on, he grabbed me & started my "routine" with me. After 4 "Supersets" of calves & my regular sets, my calves were torched.
I could hardly walk Friday from the hammies, quads, & calf inferno.
Needless to say I am looking forward to my next leg workout! Thanks Work Out Nazi for the help!!!

Dammit - I spit coffe on mt keyboard. The only thing funnier was that this was actually true. Neil (WON) "recruited" a guy named Chris several months ago. They trained every day together. Chris is pretty ripped now. Chris was sick last week. WON I guess doesn't like to workout alone. He torched me. Leg workout was on Thursday. My hammies still feel like they are going to burst.

Good thing you guys were there so WON didn't have to work out alone.
How do you guys get up in the morning to work out....I can barely get up for work??? - need motivation
Getting up out of bed is the hardest thing to do. When the alarm goes off at 4:45 AM, I know I have no more than 2 snoozes before it's up & at 'em.
Once I get to the gym it's not bad at all. I just think that if I didn't get my lazt ass out of bed, that I'll continue to look like the lazy fat ass that I was & will not look like the person I want to be.

Welp, I lost .6lbs from last week - but my overall loss is still only 5lbs. Although I haven't been 100% on plan with it all, I guess I can be thankful I've lost something!

Call me crazy, but I think I've lost weight in my feet.
Seriously - I had these shoes that used to fit...then I gained some weight and they were way to tight to wear I even had...now I've lost a little bit of weight and they are one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I own and some of my other shoes are too big.
I think I have weird feet...
