Calling all female lifters

and I regretful and humbly come back to retract my previous numbers

225 squat
275 deadlift-

305 wouldn't move- no hope of 315.

I'll run bench tomorrow or sunday.


blast.
weeks of training for nothing.

pissed doesn't even begin to describe it.

Its never for nothing. Its what builds character my father would say. You have nothing to be regreted or humbled. Your inspiring so many of us so much more than that.

aw thanks.

I'll be back with a vengeance- just have to lick my wounds tonight and get the fk over myself.

I feel like the older I get- the harder this "character building" *kitten* gets. LOL- tonight was hard- I'm going to have a glass of wine and do something more successful and be more useful for myself instead of pouting LOL

I thought you were testing tomorrow. It sounds like your day went very much like my husbands. He left the gym pretty discouraged.

Mine was okay.

bw 126
Squat 242.5 plus 10(ish) pounds on my last meet best
Bench 120 (last meet best)
Deadlift 300. 315 would not move. (Last meet 309)

The reality is it only counts on the platform. If mine were a meet my squat wouldn't have been as good but my bench and deadlift may have been better. There are good days and bad.

If your numbers are going down, are you doing anything differently? Diet? Other activities? Stress in your life?

Saturday was really full for me- and I had nothing to do on Friday- and felt like it would be a good opportunity- I didn't think 1 day of rest would matter- plus I had a fab carb up all you can eat sushi lunch- I was mentally prepared for it.

I had 3 hours of dance class and a dance event- I didn't want to risk being tired at the end of today- so yeah. oh well.

315 seems like such a pain in the butt- it just WILL not move- I almost got 305- so I mean- had my technique been better it might have gone up- I got it to my knees- shameful oh well.

Well- technically I'm cutting- But I haven't really dropped weight- so that's one reason I'm pretty upset- like it's okay to lose strength if you drop 10 pounds- that makes sense- but I"m STILL hovering around 160- and now I've gone down in weights- so it's like why the hell am I fighting all this work to cut when I"m not dropping my body pounds- but lifting pounds- that's just horribly discouraging.

I just switched to TDEE beginning of the week- which in theory gives me some wiggle room with food (in theory- but I feel like in general I'm eating less) I'm willing to take a strength loss at this point if I can get below 160- but it's piss poor to not lose weight- and then drop lifts too- that's just like- salt in the wound.


Oh- I started doing some cardio 2 times a week about 3-4 weeks ago I guess- doesn't seem like enough to really warrant any major drop in lifts- seriously 15-45 min of light cardio 2x a week doesn't scream over training.
I ran Sheiko for the past like 12 weeks- but apparently I wasn't quiet right on how I did it- I'm considering running it again just to see if it helps.

Shrug- today was moderately better- long hours of dance rehersal that already left me fairly dejected after last night- so the whole negative nancy voice in my head- hate that B- she's so annoying.

it'll get better- it's that slow grind- I know it is. It has to go up.
