Flavor of the Month, Flavor of the Week, Flavor of the Day

We all know things change for us, sometimes daily and who doesn’t like change?! We all know our body does!

(21) Favorite show RIGHT NOW?!?!
Eh, I don't watch anything consistantly. House, Grey's anatomy are good if I can catch them on.

*Bunny* said:
(1) What is your favorite body part to train and/or Favorite Lift?
My all-time favorite lifts are the incline press (barbell) and the front squat.

(2) Why do you make it a point to train? What’s in it for you!?[/B
I've always been a weightroom junkie. I've always gravitated towards strength-sports and it is just what I like to do. I feel it promotes self-improvement and makes me a better person. I also think it spills over positvely into other aspects of my life by building character, confidence, and work-ethic.

(3) Do you have a Favorite Meal? Lets hear it! Healthy AND the cheat preferences! Healthy; Filet Mingon and lobster tail with a baked potato and Caesar salad.
Cheat; Open-faced meatload sandwich with grave, fries covered in gravy, coleslaw, and a slice of Key Lime pie.



(4) Do you need to listen to music when you train?
I don't NEED to, but I prefer to. When I listen to music, it can always have an effect on my mood and intensity, and when doing something physical I find it helps me.

(5) What do you like to listen to while training?
Unlike most of my friends, I don't really like super heavy stuff or anything where it sounds like the lead singer is puking into the microphone. Mostly I listen to Weezer, 80s stuff like Poison and Motley Crue, lots of rap, some metal of course, I like Danzig a lot.

(6) Do you have an IPOD, walkman, MP3, etc?
Nope

(7) How many pills do you take a day? :eek:
Not very many...in a day maybe 4 grams of Vit-C (4 pills) and 1 multi, and a B-Complex.

(8) Do you have a favorite supplement? Vitamin? Top 3 & Why?
No, I am not a very big believer in the supplement industry as a whole. As far as Vitamins, I feel it is important for athletes to take in an abundance of water-soluble vitamins that are lost through sweat and urination (from excessive water consumption).

(9) What annoys you MOST about training?
What annoys me most are people who spread outright lies, inaccuracies, myths, half-truths, and deceptions to the uninformed public in order to make a buck.

(10) How many days a week do you train? Times a day? For how long?
This really varies. My heavy, high-volume days are 2-2.5 hours, lighter or low-volume days are between an hour-an hour and a half. I train anywhere from 3-6 days a week.

(11) How much cardio do you REALLY do?
Right now, just 1 day of HIIT, if that.

(12) Do you feel bad about treating yourself to good food for a reward/cheat? Why or why not?
NEVER, lol. I am not the strictest of dieters though. If I eat some junk, I don't mind so long as I have gotten enough protein and good stuff from clean sources. The thing I found that held back my progress at times is being too strict with my eating and not hitting caloric excess.

(13) What fast food restaurant/food do you prefer?
Wendy's (everything on the menu) and Taco Bell (everything on the menu)

(14) Beverage of choice? Regular and/or Alcohol.
Milk is my all-time favorite (whole, 2%, 1%, skim, chocolate, whatever) I love milk. Lately I have been on a diet Moutain dew kick too. I like unsweetened iced tea also. I don't have a huge taste for alcohol, but my drinks of choice are either red wine or Guinness or some sort of lite beer depending on the mood/company.

(15) On a scale from 1-10 how competitive are you?
In a competitive situation, a 10. Although, I never let it cause me to be a poor sportsman. In a non-competitive situation, I am laid back (meaning I have no problem letting my 5 year-old female cousin beat me at arm wrestling, lol).

(16) Receive compliments from other members/trainers/staff at the gym? Critique? How does it make you feel?
Yes. Compliments are always good. I've never, ever received any form of critique at a commercial gym. When I learned how to clean and snatch in the old weightroom back in the day, lol, I received tons upon tons of critique. The o-lifts are very technical, and I still get torn apart by a good coach when I go to a REAL gym to work on some stuff. But, at the commercial gym, "Joe I got certified on the internet" makes a point not to cross my path, lol.

(17) What do you like to work out in?
Mesh shorts, and a t-shirt or tank top, and my olympic lifting shoes.

(18) Meaning behind your tattoos, if any? What would you like to get? Why?
I have one going down each tricep. They are my parent's initials (dad's on the right, mom's on the left). My dad died when I was very young, so I always wanted to do something with that in a tattoo. I thought the triceps were 'different'. You can't tattoo 1 tricep and let the other go, lol, so I put my mom's (who is alive and well) on the other. My mom comes from an era when only sailors and inmates got tats, so she said 'you should have tattooed a-hole across your forehead' lol.....I may or may not get one more on the upper back, I haven't decided.

(19) What would you change most about your gym if you had the final say?
We need bumper plates.

(20) Have you ever stopped to help someone, offer advice or your opinion without being asked?
I will help anybody who asks me. I ONLY approach younger lifters with unsolicited advice though. I will also approach to compliment younger lifters when they do things right too. If something is looking downright dangerous to the point where somebody would seriously get hurt and I wouldn't be able to live with myself for not intervening, I'd say something.

(21) Favorite show RIGHT NOW?!?!
Any and all college football

Being one of the oldest gals here, I have to counter the aging as much as possible. I ALWAYS feel great after a workout.

Healthy - Grilled chicken or shrimps or steak on a bed of field greens

(4) Do you need to listen to music when you train? Why or why not?

(16) Receive compliments from other members/trainers/staff at the gym? Critique? How does it make you feel?
I like the compliment, and i like the critiques, but i get angry when the critique is from a juice monkey or a fat person. I dont mean, he your shoulders need some work and i get mad, i mean when a juice monkey criticises my workouts or looks when they are running over 1g of test/week it just bugs me. If you look good and natural and sound intelligent, by all means ill talk with you for hours about anything

(17) What do you like to work out in?

(18) Meaning behind your tattoos, if any? What would you like to get? Why?
My tatto's are basically religious, always felt like god put me here to test me. Always have bad luck, but i feel its gods way of making me stronger. If i can make it through all the shit in my life that i already went through i can take on anything or anyone. Only god can judge me. And my angel on my back is my guardian angel. lol

(1) What is your favorite body part to train and/or Favorite Lift?
Definitely Shoulders

(2) Why do you make it a point to train? What’s in it for you!?
Simple - I grew up as 'the fat girl'. I never wanna be her again. Healthy living = looking AND feeling so much better.

(3) Do you have a Favorite Meal? Lets hear it! Healthy AND the cheat preferences!
Healthy Homemade 'Chinese' Food - I like to wok, hehehhe... Brown Rice, lots of broccoli and chicken with garlic and soy sauce. Or sushi/sashimi.
Cheat - Mexican with a beer or two. Or am upscale Italian restaurant with a good bottle of wine and penne a la vodka w/pancetta... and I would finish up with a cannoli... or two...

(4) Do you need to listen to music when you train? Why or why not?
Sometimes. It gets/keeps me pumped for cardio.

(5) What do you like to listen to while training?
Angry music of the moment = TOOL and NIN. I like techno and house for cardio, along with some good old-school hip-hop. And Billy. I love Billy Idol. I'm more of a hard metal girl if I'm listening while lifting. And of course, there is the eighties rock... Whitesnake Wednesdays, baby...

(6) Do you have an IPOD, walkman, MP3, etc?
Yup- iPod. Will need a new phone contract when work ends in two weeks - I was thinking of the Verizon Chocolate.

(7) How many pills do you take a day? :eek:
10-15ish. My multi and Vit C are liquid.

(8) Do you have a favorite supplement? Vitamin? Top 3 & Why?
Glucosamine and I wanna order more sesapure/glucorell.
Multi and Vit C - Talking it in a liquid right now instead of pill form.

(9) What annoys you MOST about training?
Up until Monday, it was Mr-Floor-Trainer giving me the pink-dumbbell advice. Then it was learning that my gym got rid of the squat racks. But... NEW GYM LAST NIGHT so no current complaints... It's the YMCA so I'm sure the high school kiddes will annoy me in due time.

(10) How many days a week do you train? Times a day? For how long?
4 or 5 days on with 2 off, trying to add in more AM Cardio. 45-90 minutes.

(11) How much cardio do you REALLY do?
Hmmmm.... I am 'gettin back in there' !!! I did 30 minutes last night. It was ALL I could do post-op so I was happy to back off when the doc okayed lifting again.

(12) Do you feel bad about treating yourself to good food for a reward/cheat? Why or why not?
Sometimes. I'm working through some body issues and stuff... blah blah blah. I'm trying to work in a small cheat every day right now... currently it's one dark chocolate hershey's kiss every day. I don't know why, but it works.

(13) What fast food restaurant/food do you prefer?
Anything Wendy's. Or Taco Bell.

(14) Beverage of choice? Regular and/or Alcohol.
Water, Lipton Diet Green Tea.
Red Wine, Coconut Rum.

Depends on the situation - But in most I wouldn't rate myself lower than a 7 or 8.

(16) Receive compliments from other members/trainers/staff at the gym? Critique? How does it make you feel?
Yes. Compliments are always good boost. Constructive Criticism, of course - I'm there to improve and learn. When Mr-Floor-Trainer critiques, we all know what happens... :evil:

(17) What do you like to work out in?
BeBe Sport **WITH** UA …
Really - Victoria Secret yoga pants, GAP Body sports bras, tank or tee.

(18) Meaning behind your tattoos, if any? What would you like to get? Why?
Lower back I picked 'off the wall' on my 21st bday. Then had it extended (custom) when I turned 25 because I wanted it bigger, better, something no one else had. Right now, we're working on the piece that starts mid-thigh and ends right below my left breast. Orchids - My favorite flower, my grandma bought me my first one and showed me how to love them, feed them, keep them alive. :) This will be my last tattoo.

(19) What would you change most about your gym if you had the final say?
I would have stayed at my old gym if they kept the squat racks ...WTF

(20) Have you ever stopped to help someone, offer advice or your opinion without being asked? (i.e. think ¼ rep squatter/leg presser)
Friends or family, yeah... Beyond that.... only once when MY knees hurt watching some chick do walking weighted lunges.

The butterfly tribal on my shoulder was my 25th b-day present to myself. It had been 5 years' I had been thinking about it and my best friend from the military also got a butterfly on her shoulder. So kinda a friendship/sister/soldier kinda thing.

Only people that worked out hard core were present when I was there.

(20) Have you ever stopped to help someone, offer advice or your opinion without being asked? (i.e. think ¼ rep squatter/leg presser)
Yes but I really try not to do this unless it is something that they are doing that could really harm them. I will wait for them to finish if I think it's semi-safe, and then say, "Can I make a suggestion?" Tell them I was eyeing their form and I just didn't want them to get hurt blah blah blah... Show them the correct form and then tell them I will spot their form to make sure they corrected it if they want.

-Calcium/Mag supp 2/1 ratio 'cuz I just don't get my dairy in, and it does

(9) What annoys you MOST about training?
Forgetting stuff at home that I need, people hogging machines, or people that walk right up to you mid lift and ask are using that?!? No dip Sh!t I'm just playing with it.

Right now 1 session 45 minutes

(12) Do you feel bad about treating yourself to good food for a reward/cheat? Why or why not?

Wendy's chicken mandarin salad, Subway's buffalo chick on wheat

10+ with myself, 5 with other's

(16) Receive compliments from other members/trainers/staff at the gym? Critique? How does it make you feel?
Depends on the body part and who is saying it. Sometimes I get embarassed, sometimes it brings me out of the slumps, and the other times it puts me on cloud 9!

Currently t-shirt, usually black shorts or capri's or yoga pants, Nike shoes, or my puma's on leg day for there grip.

(18) Meaning behind your tattoos, if any? What would you like to get? Why?
Hmmmm I was 18 my parents were against them, and dangit everyone was getting the tribal design on the low back so... one thing I have done in my life when it came to following the crowd. The butterfly tribal on my shoulder was my 25th b-day present to myself. It had been 5 years' I had been thinking about it and my best friend from the military also got a butterfly on her shoulder. So kinda a friendship/sister/soldier kinda thing.

(19) What would you change most about your gym if you had the final say?
Only people that worked out hard core were present when I was there.

(20) Have you ever stopped to help someone, offer advice or your opinion without being asked? (i.e. think ¼ rep squatter/leg presser)
Yes but I really try not to do this unless it is something that they are doing that could really harm them. I will wait for them to finish if I think it's semi-safe, and then say, "Can I make a suggestion?" Tell them I was eyeing their form and I just didn't want them to get hurt blah blah blah... Show them the correct form and then tell them I will spot their form to make sure they corrected it if they want.

Torn up sweats

(18) Meaning behind your tattoos, if any? What would you like to get? Why?
I don't have a tatoo, but I would like to get one of my own design...it's two intertwined hands, one bears a spiral the other bears a film reel. It represents the antiquity of storytelling wound onto a modern medium.

I don't have a gym but what i would love to have one right next door.

(20) Have you ever stopped to help someone, offer advice or your opinion without being asked? (i.e. think ¼ rep squatter/leg presser)



(21) Favorite show RIGHT NOW?!?! I've always been a CSI fanatic and recently...now, I'm sort of embarrassed to admit this, but...."Girls Next Door"....

Fun survey, Bunny!
 
(1) What is your favorite body part to train and/or Favorite Lift?
Legs (any exercise) because I truly enjoy feeling them burn. Also some certain bicep and tricep exercises like skull crushers and curls, but not dips!

(2) Why do you make it a point to train? What’s in it for you!?
I want to be fit so I "fit in" :-) with other fit people, 'cause they're hot :-)
It's awesome---Exercise feels so good and most Americans eat like crap which is Just Not Right.

(3) Do you have a Favorite Meal? Lets hear it! Healthy AND the cheat preferences!
Hmm I have certain meals consistently like for breakfast: Kashi Go Lean Cereal with flax seed and one or two hardboiled egg whites; or Egg Beaters and Morningstart Farms Veggie Patties on a whole-wheat English Muffin (probobly not considered healthy by most of your standards considering its processed). Also a huge fan of ANPB and Smoked Salmon. Cheat preferences would be rocky road ice cream, candy, chocolate, basically sugar.

(4) Do you need to listen to music when you train? Why or why not?
Yes, especially during cardio because it makes it soo much better--changes it from a chore to a pleasure. Not really while lifting on my arms 'cause for one it gets in the way (I wear it on my arm) and secondly 'cause I want people are more likely to give me advice when i'm not wearing one (i'm yet to be given any...maybe i'm doing things right).

(5) What do you like to listen to while training?
modern country, a variety of music, alternative, ....the same things that I normally like, Dashboard Confessional, etc., love songs sometimes because they are so Positive/Happy

(6) Do you have an IPOD, walkman, MP3, etc?
yup an Ipod

(7) How many pills do you take a day? :eek:
just overall vitamin but soon adding an overall antioxidant


(8) Do you have a favorite supplement? Vitamin? Top 3 & Why?
Chocolate Protein Powder--stir it into chocolate Jello, or pancakes
Chocolate Strawberry Powder-stir it into strawberry yogurt


(9) What annoys you MOST about training?
Not having a plan half the time because I don't know what is best for me. Also my gym is a little snobby.

(10) How many days a week do you train? Times a day? For how long?
6 days a week, an hour to one and a half; during the week either right after school, a little later, or at night, it all depends and during the weekends usually the morning

(11) How much cardio do you REALLY do?
About 3-4 days a week of SOMETHING if only 20 minutes of light cardio.

(12) Do you feel bad about treating yourself to good food for a reward/cheat? Why or why not?
If i have planned it then yes, and I enjoy it, and I changed some of the ingredients to be more healthy then no I don't feel bad. But usually I just end up binging on bad food or something so in that case yes i do!

(13) What fast food restaurant/food do you prefer?
Subway and Arbie's, or McDonald's salads; I luckily never really ate Fast Food--ever--or if I did, I don't remember it much, so It's easy to bypass.

(14) Beverage of choice? Regular and/or Alcohol.
Water and red white. I gave up pop a few years ago because it always bothered my stomach and I am not tempted by it in the least. I carry a liter bottle of water with me every day and drink throughout. These days I don't really care to put toxins (alcohol) in my body... Drunked calories are wasted calories to me, would much rather spend them eating.

(15) On a scale from 1-10 how competitive are you?
7

(16) Receive compliments from other members/trainers/staff at the gym? Critique? How does it make you feel?
On rare occasion. Makes me feel inspired to do more.

(17) What do you like to work out in?
Confortable clothes. I look like a tomboy usually. Long shorts, tee shirt, etc.

(18) Meaning behind your tattoos, if any? What would you like to get? Why?
none

(19) What would you change most about your gym if you had the final say?
People must smile, larger freeweight section (squat racks) and cardio machines, more people (too much wasted space--no commradre), more help, the trainers actually do something, and the trainers definetely will show you how to use the equipment such as determing the right fit for you for each machine without you having to bug them about it!! Damnit.

(20) Have you ever stopped to help someone, offer advice or your opinion without being asked? (i.e. think ¼ rep squatter/leg presser)
Nope but i'm excited for that day to come!

(21) Favorite current tv
certain series like Desperate Housewives, The Biggest Loser, The Bachelor, What About Brian?, MTV shows/Real Life

no, i definitely don't feel knowledgable enough yet

(21) Favorite show RIGHT NOW?!?! I don't watch TV.
 
Alrighty. I wanted to do this as soon as I saw the thread, but I actually had to work at work today. :lmao:

(1) What is your favorite body part to train and/or Favorite Lift?
Legs!! Squats are my current fav.

Healthy - homemade cinnamon raisin bars! :p
Cheat - any kind of dessert imaginable

(4) Do you need to listen to music when you train? Why or why not?
Cardio, yes. Weights, no. I lift with hubby, so my iPod stays at home. There is always a crappy radio station playing at the gym, though. hehe

(5) What do you like to listen to while training?
Loud, angry music, or pop crap... which is funny, since I don't really like pop music when I'm not doing cardio.

(6) Do you have an IPOD, walkman, MP3, etc?

3-5 depending on hubby's b-ball schedule (not counting cardio)

(11) How much cardio do you REALLY do?

(18) Meaning behind your tattoos, if any? What would you like to get? Why?
Chinese character for strength: In remembrance of my mom passing away when I was in high school of cancer. Until then, I didn't realize how much I could actually handle/how strong I was. Genie lamp on inner wrist: I designed it myself because my name is Genie. Ouroboros on right shoulder: I like what it means, and I drew it myself.

(19) What would you change most about your gym if you had the final say?
I would make it bigger. There is one of each piece of equipment, which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't the best gym in town. Lots of members = lots of times whatever I want to use is in use by someone else.

(20) Have you ever stopped to help someone, offer advice or your opinion without being asked? (i.e. think ¼ rep squatter/leg presser)
Nope. I'm too shy, and I don't want people thinking, "Oh, wtf does she know?" :lmao: If someone looks like they're going to hurt themselves I get hubby to tell them. hehe
