So I'm debating whether to add accessory lifts this week on non-SL days. I'm not sure I'll get 3 SL days in this week with the holiday, but I would mainly do it because I'm taking about 2 weeks off running now that I finished my 10k yesterday (woot!). I was in some pain yesterday (mostly just uncomfortable and made walking hard) but I'm not worried about the hip flexor or it band because I know how to roll and stretch to work those out. My ankle bothered me again so I'm going to check out some inserts to see if they help.

Now off to see what kind of accessory lifts I'd want to do...

edit: word. I'm still tired even though I slept over 10 hours after that 10k!

What kind of things are you looking to improve on? I would first focus on areas you feel are your weak point. I know I have issues with glute activation so I've added glute/ham accessories to help. That would be my general suggestion.

Great job on the 10k!

On days when my SL workout has bench press and my hubby isn't with me, I do more accessory work. OHP and bench are my weakest, so I do a lot of tricep work-close Grip bench, lying triceps extension, assisted pull ups/chin ups, seated rows, dips and whatever else I feel like throwing in.

I've considered adding in some extra tricep work as well..was looking in the mirror while I was in the car friday and didn't like what I saw....:grumble:

I'm in an odd mood for it being Monday morning and knowing that I have a shyte ton of stuff going on this week. Especially now that my AC broke last night.

But.....

And this is why I did not go to work today! I'm calling it a mental health day. Mostly it's because two days ago it was 80 degrees and sunny and beautiful out. Today it is 39 and gray. Will be for another few days. I've decided I need time to mentally prepare myself for this.

Congratulations Leadfoot!! How exciting!

Neon, Hormones suck!

My goldfish has been sick for a long time and all attempts to cure him have failed so last night I put him out of his misery and into the freezer (cold blooded, sleep, easy death for a fish.) My son handled it well but I feel blah today. He was the last one. The other two didn't last long but we had Legolas for 4 years. Those petstore goldfish don't last long. Apparently a goldfish could live for 30 years!! Sigh. Bad time on top of my weekend sugar overload. I would probably be feeling blah because of the sugar anyway. I definitely don't feel like working out. Watching tv and stuffing my face yes…I guess if I don't want fittree to put me in the garbage I better get over it!!

As you said Neon we are only human but leave that sugar alone it will make you feel like crap!

Yes, a bit of water in a plastic bag. I put the bag in another bag you can't see through so they don't get scared and gently put it in the freezer. They gradually cool down and go to sleep like fish in an outdoor pond in the winter.

Get well soon, Lydia!

Oh, I envy you! @jstout :-) but great for you!

So, this girl I went to high school with friended me on Facebook the other day. She was the only girl on the wrestling team back then and has always been a beast in a small package. I was checking out her videos and there's one of her rack deadlifting 405 pounds twice. She looks like she weighs maybe 130 and I think she's around 5'6. The muscles in her back, shoulders, and arms look amazing while she's lifting it. She's like the poster girl for "heavy lifting won't make you bulky."
