Thanks girl! My trainer said after the first 3 months "Maybe we should make you a power lifter!" I started laughing and said... "UM NOooooo!"
I love the way the heavy weight feels though!
To bad my legs don't like to show for it,,, ERRrrrrr. They have come up, just going to take me some years of killing them I think. Stupid apple shape!

Re: NEW Treilin Log

I did 130 pounds for 4 reps on the Hammer Incline Chest Press! AGAIN ... FUGGIN NICE!!!!

.... I guess when I look at people as a professional I want to help them, I don't look at them as if they are attractive or not. ABSOLUTELY!

In the long run if I can help him in any way I feel I have done my part..... I went home last night and I could hardly sleep I was just happy to help people and train.

This is why I respect you so much Treil... you and I really connect here

Re: NEW Treilin Log

Great job on the 130, that is awesome!!

Just out of curiousity ( ), what do you think the difference is between a machine verse using the barbell as far as the load/weight is concern? Any thoughts or comments?

CONGRATS on your first client - that is wonderful...though, like bunny said, you are a very intellegent woman and I wouldn't expect anything less!!

O.k. the reason I prefer the free weight (barbell, dumbell) is that not only are you working the muscle that you are keyed in on but you are using other stabilizers also (like abs, legs if standing). Where as a machine it kinda supports you through the movement and I think some machines actually don't give you the full range potential that you can get with free weights. If I can't go any higher on free weights I jump to a machine with a higher weight and then maybe in a few weeks I can go up in free weight. I also tend to like to use more machines towards the end of a work-out when I am more fatigued for the extra support and control as far as performing the motion correctly.
Though my trainer creates my work-out... So I go by what he tells me to do.

Weight 149.9
Had a GREAT work-out yesterday. I could really concentrate and I was pretty proud. I did 130 pounds for 4 reps on the Hammer Incline Chest Press!
Today is leg day 2 at the gym. I did 30 min a.m. cardio.

Story about my first day as a trainer (If you care to read)
I had my first client yesterday (6'4", 240 pounds, works out 5 days a week, intimidating). I wasn't supposed to train anyone either. I was supposed to train with my manager and he just kinda said. "O.k. here take this guy." So Yeah he fed me to the wolves.... So anyway I got done with him and the general manager came up to me and said,"Did that guy buy a package from you?" I said,"Well he said he had to go home and check his bills he just got a speeding ticket!" So then I find out the guy planned on cancelling his membership and he was just coming in for a training session so that he could cancel it (part of the original agreement). So anyway to make a long story short they threw me out there to see if I would sink or swim and I swam They had never done that to any other trainer either. It was funny because all the other trainers kept asking me if that was my first client? That they couldn't even tell because I kicked the guys butt (sweating BAD), and then the girl trainers kept telling me the guy was HOT. I guess when I look at people as a professional I want to help them, I don't look at them as if they are attractive or not. I just said, "Really?" My boss said I will be a legend to start up like I did, save a package deal, and sell training. You know... everyone is interested in sales.. I knew nothing about him cancelling, my whole goal is to help people live their life to the fullest, and unfortunately it will cost them some money in return but the reward is priceless The guy had a lot of shoulder issues and I was talking to him about massage and training together. So he seemed more interested in massage. In the long run if I can help him in any way I feel I have done my part. I also have another client saturday, and one on monday. I went home last night and I could hardly sleep I was just happy to help people and train.

Your the type of trainer I think everybody is looking for, I have seen trainers just in it for the sales and you can tell they don't really want to help you and are just looking for the sale. Good for you! People can really tell when trainer are in it for the money and they don't want to sign up with them. I know it took me a long time to find a trainer that really wanted to help, again that is great!

Re: NEW Treilin Log

So yesterday I had my first big feast that I went to that I watched everyone else eat. We're talking pizza (Nasty), garlic breadsticks (Ewww), yummy salad with all the cheese (gross) and pepperoni (Yuck), ice cream (discusting), cake with frosting (Ekkk), and all I had was lettuce Actually I wasn't even jealous or wanting any!!!! It felt so good to just watch. Not only that I went to my parents which is LOADED with junk and I stayed totally away from the kitchen, only time I was in theer was to heat up the chicken I brought and breakfast I also brought. My mom was like, "You know we have food here, you didn't have to bring any!" I was just laughing. She understands more though because I have been telling her about it. My dad on teh otherhand... Hmmm. I sat them down yesterday explaining to them I was going to purposely be losing a lot of body fat and that they are going to think I'm skinny, but told them Don't FREAK out!!! My dad is just like, "Why would anyone want to do that to themself?" and asked,"What do you get out of it?" I said," I love to work-out and I get the satisfaction of being on stage and reaching another goal." He just kinda went o.k....
So I think they are coming. I didn't want to really press them on coming because I don't need any negative vibes, ya know!
So now I'm going out on a date with a guy that understands dieting down because he is a trainer. It's so nice because he said,"I know you can't go out to eat or drink but we can hang out!"
So Off I go
