Scorpio's '06 Log

I was convertiing the weight from lbs. to kilos...
My question about your sore legs is about how much quads measure?

Do you mean what do my quads measure with a measuring tape? Not sure I understand......

Day-UM! Look at that leg workout. I think I'd need help getting off the toliet after that lifting. (And I was proud of myself for a 200 pound leg press yesterday)


If that is your back in your avatar picture, you are my idol! That's hard core, woman!

lol ....yes that's me in the avi.....thank you!

Yes, I meant measure with a measuring tape, LOL...Am I the only one who measures herself? I do it to see difference in gains...I have no callipers so mirror and tape help...It may not make sense, but I see myself with a bit more definition and when I measure I see if I am gaining size (LBM) and dropping BF%...
Make sense?

Yep makes sense. I measure too but not as often as I use the callipers.....so lets see here...getting the tape out and measuring.....

upper: 21.5 in
mid: 19 in
tear drop: 16.5

was not flexing on any measurements.


......how's that?

Pretty much the same as I. How about 90 degree angle, foot resting bed...
Yet you lseem to have a LBM and 0% fat on legs!!!

HA!!! I wish! My quad pinch says 12-14 (depending on bf at the moment).

What about the 90 degree angle? What do you want measured? lol Sorry - I don't understand again......

yes please mine is 19...Are your squats ATF? and what weight do you use? On Smith or free weight squats? I have never tried front squats and was wondering how difficult they are?

Scorpio Girl! My goals you ask? - To look like you!! No really - they are! What a great shape you have! Keep up the great work! I was there - and then strayed off the path - glad to be back though!! - Just had a great work out and am psyched to do a little more training tonight - DH still wants to go to the gym - how can I say no! DD wants to run tonight too so I am looking forward to that. Over all goals are to see my abs again, and always increase strength. Luckily with my horrendous eating and weight gain strength is still good. - So, I definately have work to do but I am prepared! Diet plummeted when I went high carb - it was in the form of fruit and veg but I never ate protein and as a result I ate more and more fruit which led to huge sugar cravings and the weight started to come on. I am eating more protein now and it is amazing how my appetite drops and my muscles respond! Thanks for stopping in!!

I can only go light on squats. I end up crippled from sciatic pain the next day if I go heavy. When I do squats they're either ATF or parallel.

I do my heavy stuff with leg press and hack squat. The weights I use are logged within the last 2 weeks on both of those. Can't remember exact weight at the moment.

Well thank you! I am a work in progress trying to gain some size so I'm still trying to get where I want to be too.

Ahhhh, the carbs can get ya. I've done that before too.....

Good luck to you and reaching your goals!
