any more drop two sizes results?
I have 2 more weeks left of phase 2. haven't lost any size/weight yet. it is definitely harder than phase 1. i don't know if i'm actually getting better at anything. i am a little extra fatigued because I have to double up workouts (back to back which rachel cosgrove said was ok) bc i missed some from busy work schedule and traveling. The rear foot elevated Bulgarian split squat and plank rows are still tough. my form needs to be better with these. This has good form tips RFESS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6a0MwviAXU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaXttrJcVTA Plank Single Arm Row: http://www.menshealth.com/fitness/ab-exercise-your-back Every time I do Plank row at my gym they are pretty insistent that shoulders should be above hands/wrists. Plank row is always hard for the same reason that all plank is hard for me (even tracy anderson), because of all the weight on my wrist in extension. Anyone have any tips for this? I seriously hope she comes out with a new DVD series. Even if I don't get fantastic results from this I will probably keep it in my rotation because it's my favorite way to strength train. My gym uses a similar model. |

This is a detailed instructional video on how to do a suitcase deadlift with a dumbbell-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FePRQacwd6I
This shows a suitcase deadlift with kettlebells http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3oNi_zIGw0 I struggled with the deadlift for a while because I thought it had to be done with straight legs (that puts a lot of strain on the lower back). My form improved and I could lift heavier with a barbell instead of dumbbells. That wouldn't work for me as a suitcase deadlift because I feel that I am too short to manage a barbell on the side. I just finished week 2 of phase 1 and I'm looking forward to moving on! |
