ROLL!!!

so... what is June's thread going to be called? been thinking of lots of 'June know how much I bench, bro' puns lol!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

'June better not mess with a chick who lifts heavy!'

For some reason, I'm picturing Consuela, the maid from Family Guy, saying this. But it's be more like "mmm No. June-o mess with chick who lifts heavy".

Y'all are crazy.

This class is kicking my tail, sorry I haven't been keeping up.

Squats - progression day, 1x5 @ 120 up to 160 in 10 lb batches.
OHP - 5x5 70 lb - booyah! busted through my first stall!
Deadlift - 205

I had a guy on the rack next to me ask if I was doing SL. When I said yes, he said "Yeah, I'm just starting. I feel kinda silly squatting with only 55 pounds on the bar. Where are you headed today?" When I told him 160, and not to worry, the bar would get really heavy very soon, he said "So, how often do you come in here? Do you always lift this early?" Ralph, one of the trainers, was walking by and said "Dude, she's been married for like 15 years. Stop trying!" Poor guy turned beet red, but I assured him that it was always nice to meet a fellow lifter, and to know I wasn't out of rotation just yet.

Kira, great story, and handled it gracefully too! booyah!

NICE!!!! Also, awesome numbers lady!

Cleo - great numbers as well!!! And that is one heck of a post lifting add on!

Seriously. I got tired just reading through all that stuff! Lately I've found that just doing my push up sets finishes me off. Stupid deficit lifting.

Thank you I was surprised at how good I felt this morning. I was feeling pretty blah last night was way under my calories. I don't always do the add-ons if I'm not feeling it, but it felt good today!

Week 4
Day 2
Workout A

Squat 75x6x5
Bench 65x6x5
Row 75x6x5

I chose not to up my weight this session because I felt I may be starting to get in to some bad form habits. Instead I focused on form and added in one more set. I think I will do it again next session and than try upping the weight after that.

NSV~ starting to see quad definition just above my knees!

Was too busy to check the thread last week...I come back and there's a new one! I'm just going to jump back in.

I've been keeping up with the workouts. Did A Monday and B today.

Squat--100 felt heavy on Monday, but I knew my legs were tired thanks to an early morning waitressing shift, so I decided to try 105 this morning on fresh legs, and am glad I did.
OHP -- 65, and will stay here for the next workout. I was failing at 65 a few weeks ago, so I dropped to 60 last week. I tried 65 again this week and will probably get some fractionals if I can't progress on it this time. I made all my reps but they were tough.
Deadlift -- 130.

Bench -- 80. got 4 4 4 3 4. Was glad my fiance was there, because it was the first day I really needed a spotter. He helped me a bit on the failed reps, so I pushed the bar up as much as possible and did negatives on those. Will try 80 again on Friday. I'm a little nervous. I may end up doing my first roll of shame!
Rows -- 70. Felt easy, and I think I located the problem with my form! I was kind of curling my left wrist at the top for some reason. Once I focused on keeping it straight, these felt much better. Moving up to 75 on Friday.

Love it Dani!

Just booked a holiday! only 3 nights, but getting the huz on a plane.. to Barcelona! splashed out on a nice hotel too as it's our 10th wedding anniversary
