    I ran 2 miles yesterday because it was so nice out. I saw a sandhill crane out on a pier and it was SO COOL. Yes, I'm a huge bird dork. I was so bummed I only had my phone camera so I couldn't get a good picture, especially because they're not common where I live but I did admire it for a while.

    I lifted later. Don't usually run before lifting but I didn't run much, I'm still de-loaded on squats, and I worked mostly upper body.

    Squat 100 5x5
    Bench 80 5x5
    Row 70 5x5

    Stiff-leg deadlift 60 3x8
    Side bends 30 3x15 each side
    Pull ups 60 assist (70) 3x8
    Skull crushers 40 3x8

    Last March workout :)

    Squat - 5x5 at 135. Still pretty hard, but form was better today. Might do this weight one more time.

    Bench 5x5 at 72.5. Form wasn't great. I lost stability in my body a couple times. I think I need to do this one again before moving on to make sure my form is there.

    Row 5x5 at 85. Didn't stack plates today because the gym was busy at plates were in demand. I can't wait to get to 95 so that I can use bigger plates. The 25s might be enough for my short self to almost do Pendlay Rows without stacking.

    Assisted pull ups - 3x8 at 40 lbs assist. Might move down next time :)

    Last workout for March!

    Squats 5x5 165lb - looked great. I video taped myself and was pleased with my form.
    Bench 5x5 90lbs - There were nasty hard the last 2 sets. Hello the times of slow-mo bench press!
    Rows 5/5/5/4/3 80lbs - I thought I finally figured out rows with the first sets. The last sets showed apparently not as I tend to wrist curl that last bit. It seems I need the stars to align on form to get these right, bleh! Hate rows!

    Squats 5x5 120
    Bench 5x5 55 (still struggling with form)
    Row 5x5 60

    Have had to concede defeat and deload on all the upper body stuff when I realized my form was terrible.

    Hi gals! Good workouts logged this week, I hope everyone is proud of their work.

    I did workout A this morning. I still have this weird thing where I have pain in my thighs (the muscle that is call rectus femoris, I think) while performing squat. I really feel like I never did squats in my life. I'm not sure why it hurts that much, because this muscle is not supposed to be involved a lot in squats. Well...

    Warmup: 15 minutes on the ATM

    Squats: 1x5 @ 45, 1x5 @ 65, 5x5 @ 85

    Rows: 1x5 @ 45, 1x5 @ 50, 5x5 @ 55

    Bench: 1x5 @ 45, 1x5 @ 50, 5x5 @ 55

    Plank: 75 seconds on the BOSU

    Then, stretch and foam rolling.

    I will have to start going to the gym as early as before because I didn't have time to make accessories today. Those 15 minutes makes a difference.
