It's still not full... And just one.. But it was off my knees from the bench and no assistance... So I was still surprised! I'm getting there!

Building up the front squats. Easily one of my weakest lifts. Happy with the 225 for 3. I’m pretty sure I can do that weight for my working sets next time. Felt light as the squat, it’s the holding up and keeping the weight locked in Position that’s the struggle.
Also definitely need to either get a gym partner, my wife, or a tripod for recording images. Best bet is tripod because last gym partner quit showing up, and the wife refuses to lift with me because it takes to much time to switch out weights. LOL.
Nice lift! Front squats are difficult for me.jennacole12 wrote: »Literally have been to 3 gyms in the last 24 hours and my body feels it.... today I drove to MD to one of my favorite spots and yesterday was strong man training.

You’re killing it Jenna 💪🏼

Man I'm jealous. I want to flip tires... Since it finally started warming up here maybe soon since I can't talk my Gym into getting one so I can train with it indoors.
You're Killing it!
It really is fun, new challenges always bring their own sort of excitement 😁amorfati601070 wrote: »jennacole12 wrote: »250 lb tire play 😁
This looks like it could be a scene from some indie movie. It's got real cool background
Nice work!
Doesn’t it.... or maybe a horror movie 😂 it’s one of the garage gyms I go to 🤣2 -

Ditto, Definitely one of the "better" diagnoses

Haha thank you! (they're used to the abs, it's hardly noteworthy now 🤪)
And thanks everyone! Some days I feel like I've almost got these stupid pull ups, and other days where I feel like I will never get them!1 -
I'm testing my 1RMs today (1 rep maximum = the most you can lift if you only have to do one rep).
I tried and hit 225lb. I tried 230lb and failed. But when I looked at the vid... I think I quit too quickly. So I reloaded the weights and tried again.. And GOT IT!
230LB! (That's 20lb higher than my last recorded 1rm)!
Yes, there is a happy dance at the end!

Deadlifts... 1RM was a tie for my all time PR of 275lb.
I felt my form break, and my back rounded some, but I finished the lift. I tried 280 but the rounding was even worse, so I put it back down.
And bench was a 1RM PR of 115lb. Ten pounds more than my best lift.

Today was strongman day, but no videos, at least none I want to share 🙄 the whole day was a bunch of failures, some crying, stress and about 18 attempts at quitting. This strongman prep is testing me more than I ever imagined and making me feel pretty inadequate. Hoping next week there is some improvement.... 6 weeks till my meet.... maybe 😑9

This is growing you in so many ways. It sucks to have a day like this, but it will help you progress. I hope that you don't give up on your meet... No matter what you do, what numbers you put up... It's going to be an incredible experience! ❤️
Hopefully you can get some rest now, and even though it feels really crappy, know that there's group of people here who believe in you, and are amazed at all you have done so far!0 -

Awww thank you beautiful lady, that made me get all teary eyed 😢 I am definitely feeling sorry for myself atm but trying so hard to remind myself why I’m doing this in the first place... for my boy. Everything is hard for him, and he’s never where he is “supposed” to be, but he doesn’t quit.... so I won’t either..... but I swear I am going to want to, probably every day for the next 6 weeks lol.4 -

Nothing super exciting in tonight's workout... But I am loving the pull up progress. Feeling a bit easier every time. (still band assisted though)

I love your determination with it Bc it reminds me weekly to do it 😂 I would say keep it up but I know how annoying that is 😂😘❤️1 -
Well after Sundays Pity Party, today I hit my 4th and 5th stone in the atlas medley.... meaning I got my entire medley with meet day weights up! I just have to work on time. I also was able to do my entire sandbag/keg suicide combo with meet day weights 🤗. I feel so much better about my training. Sometimes a bad lift day can really make you question everything lol, thank you guys for your support 🖤
My stone PR’s 👇🏻

Haha you can say "keep it up" to me... I just won't say it back! 😂
I feel like I'm going to be stuck here forever. Some days it feels like real progress. Some days it feels like nothing has changed. It's quite frustrating. 🙄kinetixtrainer2 wrote: »Yeah looks like this is almost too easy for ya.
I did three sets of 5 like this. I'm not sure where to go next. Try for more reps? Try for same reps but slow descent on more reps within the same set? Change my footing on the band?
I'm totally winging it. I have no idea what I'm doing. Lol0 -

Move the band to your knee and cross your feet behind you. It will give you less assistance off the bottom.
If you can easily get your foot in and out of the band use the band on the way up and take your foot out of the band and lower slowly as you mentioned.1
