Quickie
No not that kind of quickie. Get your mind out of the gutter 😉 Or maybe I should get mine out of their first. ANYWHO.
This morning I did a WIFL. It’s kind of like a MILF, except not at all. It stands for Whatever I Feel Like. I woke up this morning to screaming hamstrings. They are STILL extremely sore even after 3 days, lots of glutamine, and 11 hours of sleep last night. So instead of doing chest today, which I didn’t feel like doing, I did a WILF. I did some bicep curls with 20 lbers, lots of abs, some more biceps, and some Complex 1’s. This is something I used to do at my old gym. You take the barbell(45 lbs) and do: 8 straight leg dead lifts, 8 bent over rows, 8 power cleans(instead of starting from the floor, it is just the “catch” portion, so starting at the hips and rotating over), 8 push presses, 8 squats, and 8 good mornings. Did about 3 sets of those. It was honestly a REALLY fun workout. I love weight lifting and going in there and just doing WIFL!
I challenge you all to do a WIFL! Let me know how it goes 🙂 It is good to have a plan, but sometimes it is good to just lift your heart out 🙂 I’m a dork, I know this. 🙂
I did have something else to say, but I totally can’t remember now. I hate when that happens! Anyways, i definitely fell asleep at 7:30pm last night…woke up briefly to the LOUD thunder and wind(love me some monsoons!) at around 3am, but fell right back asleep and woke up at 6:30am. My body wanted SLEEP.
Oh I remember what I wanted to say. My new mantra. I think it was Michelle, but i’m not sure who posted it on their blog (sorry) But now, whenever I am struggling mentally(which has been happening lately) I repeat this in my head. “Two choices: give up, or don’t give up.” I always choose the latter. This makes it very easy because i don’t have any other factors involved. It’s either DO IT or DON’T. I am choosing to NOT GIVE UP 🙂
Have a good day kiddos!
ahhhhh love the WILF!!!! gotta try something like you did!!! and btw-LOVE that saying-"you have two choices…either give up or dont give up"……these next few weeks will be tough for you,but geez,you made it this far,dont stop now!!!
keep up the hard work and positive attitude and WILF in the gym…..:)
Not giving up is always the better way to go. You can't get anywhere if you take the easy route!
"It's kind of like a MILF, except not at all." LOL you crack me up! I want to do a WILF – and I heart your mantra – just do it (ala Nike). 🙂
Hey!!! are you getting super excited for your comp or what?! Yes, the mental thing was TOTALLY coming into play before my second comp just because you ahve been taxing your body for so long. Keep it up, you're gonna ROCK that STAGE!!
btw, i do WIFL all the time. LOL….
