Can’t stop staring at your shoulders 😂😍1 -
I try to do five sets of these, three times a week:

Really liking the RP Men’s Physique Template. I’m on week 3 of the first meso and it’s been nice to go back to a straight hypertrophy program. The 6-day lays out to a double PPL and the Thursday lifts are my favorite grouping.

Lifted with my friend. I'm still doing something weird on my squat sometimes...so the weight is not going back up as heavy as I would like it to be.2 -

You have lots of cats and kids😁
Three cats, one kid. He’s 2.5 and loves to come down to the basement to “count” with us. The slide and jungle keep him mostly occupied when he doesn’t want to work in with his foam dumbbells.

After a failed attempt a week ago I opted for the rack pull this week just to see if I could pull it to lockout. 500 lbs a new PB. 500 was my goal by July 1 for a conventional pull. I have a week.
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. Ended up taking a break in May and have slowly been building back up. Next week I’ll try pulling conventional again.
Next stop is 600 by January 1,2022 And then 700 at least once in my life.

This is so awesome!!! Way to keep pushing, and I echo Jenna. I am so looking forward to see you hit your goals!0 -
Slowly working my way back. Squats were a little better today. No crying on the bar😂

It's been so long since I squat, I feel like I'll be back at square one. 😭 You're putting in the work and doing great! ❤️0 -
So, I am trying to get back into lifting. I think my hip is better. I've still been doing my pull ups and added pushups into the mix. I am at almost 3 for narrow grip pullups and almost 2 for wide.
This is my regular band assisted routine.
3 narrow... 2 wide... 1 wide slow neg... 1 narrow slow neg... 2 narrow.6 -
Today I did some gizmo I’ve named The Devil’s Blade.
I will not lie. This thing whipped my *kitten*. You wouldn’t believe such an insignificant looking thing could be so damn punishing. These were super slow reps, too.
And holy cow, I didn’t realize I was that grey. 😲

Hit the weights again. Squats were much better. My mind/body was not playing tricks today! Just in time to take another week or 2 off 🤦

I have managed to do three lifting sessions this week! One more day and I finished week one of an 8 wk program my friend tailored for me.
Here's a quick snapshot of today's work...
Pin press, Incline press, face pulls, tricep pullovers, skull crushers, reverse (banded) curls behind the head presses.7 -

Quick GIFs. Not my best efforts, but I’d already biked, run and done a hot power class when I did these. 1,000 is a BFD for me and I needed to mark the milestone.

Thank you! That looks like fun and that guy’s voice is mesmerizing. He could totally run a yoga nidra meditation. My son-in-law, the one with the doctorate in random number mathematics or some such craziness, was known for his break dancing skills. Hmmm…….2 -

If I tried this.. I might end up with a nosebleed! Hahaha that's awesome!1 -
Well... I completed day 4 of week 1! First week (of 8) in the books!
This has been challenging for me, as there are movements in this program I haven't done before, terms I'm unfamiliar with, and calls for equipment I don't necessarily have - so I've needed to sub in some resistance band work. Not being 100% confident in what I'm doing causes me a lot of anxiety, but I DID IT, and that is huge.
I now pre-try the exercises I don't know, the day before to make sure I know what I'm doing and how, and try to have it all planned for go time.
I'm actually kind of proud! And sore. Very very sore! 😂😂8 -

I am so stoked! Sharing this everywhere.
Even though it's band assisted, I still feel badass!
