Ooosh great to see another gal doing strongwoman on here. Best wishes for comp. Are you a powerlifter?
Yes! Relatively new powerlifter, In the past I was focused on bodybuilding, but then my show got canceled last May, due to Covid and I switched into PWL, two meets in and I’m hooked.
This is however my first attempt at a Strongman event.... the meet is an Autism event and I’m competing in my sons name. I was able to put together, a team of 6 and a nutrition company is sponsoring us (Team Alex 😭) I’m excited, but my current numbers are close to the requirements just not quite there yet. I’m scared I won’t qualify, imagine putting this whole team together and then having to tell them all sorry I didn’t make it 😫 I apologize for the long winded answer 🤣
I think this is awesome. I love the idea of laying it all out there and betting on the one sure thing, yourself. On top of that, your cause makes it even better. You have a fan 😁jennacole12 wrote: »nexangelus wrote: »jennacole12 wrote: »Got all my targets today 🤗 so freaking psyched.

What he said!
Thank you ☺️ I feel like I put a lot of pressure on myself, but that seems to be what I love anyway, so now I gotta see this through 😬💪🏻 Plus that look on my boys face, on meet day, will make it all worth it 😭😍🤗4 -

This is my current routine. The abs and cardio work is done on the days between.
My brother I know you are a busy man. How do you fit all this in?
Honestly man this schedule here has me in the gym less than before. I’m typically in and out in 1.5 hours. Maybe two on a slow day. The abs and cardio days you’re only looking at 45 mins tops.
This is what I was doing before this:
The neatness of this satisfies my OCD 🤣. I also had a very detailed plan similar to this that hit every muscle group multiple times and my coach cut it down significantly. I was able to shave off time, but by not doing certain accessories that I used to do I sometimes get all in my head that I’m not doing all I can be for that muscle group. It’s like FOMO for the lifts I could be doing 😂. Does this happen to you?2 -

Ha, I can be a tad OCD with it too. I’ll work these out and once I get the final draft I’ll snap a pic and throw the paper away. Yes, I do and I do still like to make sure I’m hitting all the secondary muscles. So I’ll toss them in around the heavy lifts. The heavy compound movements fatigue me differently. It’s a more total body exhaustion as opposed to destroying a specific muscle group. For me though incline presses at a 45degree angle, rear delt work and hitting my chicken legs are a must!1 -

There is so much poor form here that it’s dangerous.KickassAmazon76 wrote: »Something different...
The one that stands out is our arching your back into a curve when you bench press. It hurts your spine.
I actually thought this was a joke at first because I didn't see any poor form...My back was arched on my bench press as well and I got positive comments on it🤣3 -

Im my own biggest critic. More legs used in this row than I’d have liked and I should have worn my belt but 295 felt good. Backed down the next set to be a bit more strict.4 -

Well done, badass!1 -
Not a gif, cuz boxing GIFs suck. So I'm breaking my rules and throwing in a vid.

Awesome session boxing, with abs that followed. This video was taken at the end, so I was moving slower and already pretty tired. But still... Amazing cardio and strength workout all in one.7 -

You have a rooter and tooter right here in the UK. You rawk and roll lady : )

You have 5x5 on the leg press. I am familiar with more volume normally. How do you like the 5x5? great program.0 -

I am enjoying the 5x5. Over the last year or so I have focused more on volume trying in general. Tomorrow will start my 3rd week of this new 5x5 cycle. I’ve been 5x5 on leg press for some time though. In my last program I was actually doing sets of 30 on squats to push volume and the 5x5 on leg press. If you’ve never tried the sets of 30 on squats I recommend it. 30 deep reps of moderate weight is a great time under tension technique.1 -
This was a very big lift for me. 365lbs at 155lbs body weight.

It's amazing when you're feeling all the feelings... Anger, rage, sadness. It's not about picturing someone on the bag, or hurting the bag instead of someone... At least it never has been for me. Instead it's almost a transferrance of emotion / stress / energy into the bag that leaves me lighter and happier (and exhausted) at the end.
I am a super huge fan!
Haha yep! Rules are made to be stretched! I shared a gif on earlier pages and it just looks so weird and choppy... Plus... The sound is what makes it so satisfying. 😊 Thanks!Such a rebel- Posting video's and not gif's.

There's nothing better (when boxing) than a solid connection with that sound to follow. It feels soooo good!
At its finest! 😊kinetixtrainer2 wrote: »Stress management!!! 😉0
