I was so gassed from yesterday's deadlifts that I was a zombie in front of the computer for the entire evening. Feeling pumped up and energetic today, despite awful cramps.
Untamed Strength
OHP 5x6 70lbs (warm up 45/60)
Incline Bench Press 3x6 65lbs. 1x1 80/95lbs. I decided to see how much I could incline press, probably not the best time to do this as my arms were gassed and I need a spot, but was able to squeak out the 95lbs.
Also played with snatch form with the 45lb bar as warm up to OHP.
Have a good weekend everyone!0 -
Thanks @fanncy0626 for the most part I get through alright, but I've had these ongoing niggles that occasionally flare up that I would love to resolve.
Back felt good this morning so decided to do Stronglifts. Back continued to feel good throughout. I'm being conservative on squats and deadlifts and really trying to make sure I have form nailed before progressing.
SQ: 5x5 at 35kg. Feeling ready to increase weight next week, but thinking I'll stick to the same weight for the full week instead of going up each workout.
OHP: 5x5 at 23.5kg. I'm quite enjoying OHP at the moment, it's nice to be moving up the weights.
DL: 1x5 at 60kg. I had planned to do 65kg, but forgot to put the extra weights on and stuck with 60kg.0 -
Last night's session
Leg press 1x10 50,60,70,80,3x5 85,3x3 90kg
Deadlift 1x5 50,60, 2x5 65kg
Front squat 1x5 37.5, 5x5 40,2x5 45kg
Leg extensions 5x5 20lg
Hammy curl 5x5 20kg
Was in a funk after doing leg press first think I overdid it then had no energy for anything else. First time in ages I didn't enjoy my lifting. And I've dropped another 2kgs and I'm not sure why could be bf. Eating at maintainence.0 -
Basic Hatha yoga class before work and 30 minute run after work. Tomorrow is bench day and a 2 hour long yoga workshop to learn the basics cause I'm just trying to follow along right now but the studio is holding a workshop called yoga 101, which might help.0

first trainer day since knee thing. bench 75, just barely amrap. dimel bloody deadlifts 3x15@85 and i think i might be doing them wrong. quads killlllllling me and i suspect the deadlifts.

Back is killing me, getting ready to hit the chiro. I think my hips are misaligned again. So painful last night I actually took some Tylenol.
What is weird, when I lift, or I'm in the gym it doesn't hurt.
Anyway, yesterday session:
Squat 185 pds 5x5 (yay I hit it! Very hard last couple of reps)
Bp. 75 pds 5x5
Row 120 5x5 (I find this very hard, and I dislike this lift almost as much as the ohp)
The pain last night was shooting from neck/shoulder right down the back, hip/butt area, knee and heel. Ugh.0 -
Still on track!
Today I hit all my PR's in my lifts! I am thinking it's the change in diet making some difference. Whatever it is, yay!
Squats: 2x5x45, 1x3x85, 5x5x130lbs
Bench: 2x5x45, 5x5x80
Rows: 5x5x80
Also lost some inches! Gained about 1.5, but I'm totally ok with it0 -
Isca, I hope your back eases soon.
Deena_Bean, well done on the new PRs!!0 -
Isca- I hope you get relief soon. Have you ever been to a reflexologist? They do wonders for the back.
Stronglifts Rest Day
Goblet Squats- 3X7X30
Russian Kettlebell Swings- 7X9X30, 15X10X30
I added 1 more swing to 5 more of the sets. Next week I will be starting to transition to the 35lb Kettlebell.0 -

That was happening to me last year and had to stop lifting to rehab, the combination of Aleve and chiro worked wonders. I've now finally, after 10 months, worked up to the weights before rehab and working with trainer once a week to make sure I don't reinjure. Take care of yourself and pay special attention to form.0 -
All kinds of fun today, on my rare Saturday off from work. Sleeping in along with working out and tonight hope to get some writing done. I work tomorrow but then get Monday off so it's kind of an odd week. I'm 8 weeks from the meet, eek. Today went fine and my key thing now works at any Anytime location, so went to the one near home as it has a regular bench. Might need to bring my own resistance band for a warmup thing next time though. Peak program sheet I found recommends board press after bench but don't have that equipment available, nor the shoulder horn. This one also doesn't have a pull up bar that I can reach, even using the step they do have available and the assisted machine doesn't have a moveable padding thing, so instead I used the smith machine for my pull up attempts as I'm short enough that I just need to hang down a little first so don't have an extra help in the beginning.
Chapter 1: Bench
warm up on elliptical for 10 minutes
Bench 2x10 @ 45, 2x8 @ 75 and 4x5 @ 90 - decent working set.
pull up 3x1 almost and chin up 1x2
db bench 3x10 @ 30
one db row 3x10 @ 40
db fly 3x8 @ 25
face pull 3x10 @ 60
cable bicep curl 3x10 @ 50
Then went to a 2 hour introduction to yoga workshop. A fair amount of sitting as she discussed varying aspects of yoga along with some working on poses.0 -

Goblet Squat 5x5 at 16kg. Hanging out to get my heavier kettlebells.

Alternating Press 1x6,5,4,3. 6 and 3 at 10kg, 5 and 4 at 6kg.
Band assisted Pullup 1x6,5,4,3 using three bands.0 -
ninenines- you are doing great with the Kettlebell. What size are your getting?0
-
I'm getting a 20kg (44lb) and whatever size after that, either a 24kg or 26kg. That should do me for a while. I really enjoy the kettlebell workouts! 0

Those are some weights there ninenines!! Impressive!!
No lifting for me today, but did day 2 of 100 of the run2remember challenge. 2 miles outside in the wind. Only 98 days to go!!0
