I would love for others to contribute... It's kinda lonely in here!
I'll try and post more. I keep finding myself strapped for time in my morning workouts, sometimes such that I'm doing accessories in the evening after we put our son to bed.2 -

I love seeing what everyone's doing and their progress. I've gotten super serious with my program lately due to some strong goals I've placed in front of me. Sometimes at least until the program becomes not as new to me I tend to like to train in silence and share the results of the work.
That and I'm doing a lot of boring stuff to build up and improve my compound lifts. Doing some band work isn't really that sexy
Here's my volume from the deadlift portion of my training last night:
Ignore the session length. I logged it after the workout last night.
I'll try to remember to share some of my progress.
Sidenote: You are KILLING IT! As always.

I’m enjoying it.
I’d share but my piddly *kitten* weightlifting efforts are embarrassing (even if they are comparatively effective), and no one is generally filming yoga. And let’s face it, looking at an old woman trying to wrap body parts around each other……blechhhhh. It’s like those gross commercials they run during dinner time. There’s just never a “good” time for that.1 -

I would be inclined to disagree! Every time I have seen you post, I have been inspired! You are amazing! As for band work, or yoga being "sexy" ... I think it all is. I think it's neat to see how different everyone's workouts are, and how people are adapting.
You are doing amazing. There is no weight minimum for sharing!4 -

I finally made it back to the gym! Yes, my weights have dropped. I just gotta do what I can when I can.

Please keep posting, I for one find it inspirational. I really miss lifting. I don't post pics because I don't think anyone would find me walking particularly interesting lol. On the other hand, gifs of me skipping in the kitchen while trying not to wipe everything out might be entertaining to some. 3 -

Thank you! Pics of your walk would be neat.. A time lapse of what you saw along the way. Skipping rope is hard work and totally good worthy! When I do it, I skip two, trip one. Lol not so much fun to watch. 😂0 -

I remember being there once upon a time. There were a couple years where my workouts started at 11pm. It's not fun, but totally worth it!0 -

What a smooth squat, you make that weight look easy. Well done!
As for the goal... omg. I don't think my big three add up to that yet! lol

Bench tonight was 105x5 and 3 sets of 100x7.
I wasnt feeling well tonight and it took me to my last set of bench before I felt like my lift was solid.

What are the bands used for when curling? I don't see this very often.
Also do you do any direct ab work? They look very strong.1 -

I loop the bands over the bar and the stand on them. They add resistance, which increases the deeper into the curl I go, which helps improve strength.
As for the abs, sometimes I do. They were originally built through boxing and a lot of ab work there, and I've just been able to maintain it. Doing heavy lifting engages the core, as well, further strengthening them.
Plus apparently there's some good genes in there... Though noone else in my family (immediate or extended) has them. Lol3 -

Saturday's workout- nothing special about it, but it was a good workout.
On Sunday before my workout I met up with a friend to do some car push for cardio, and is a fun add in for part of my training. I was pushing my car (~3,500 lbs/1587 Kg) which was surprisingly lighter than I anticipated, for 50 ft sprints. The parking lot had a bit of a grade to it, so pushing one way was definitely easier than the other, but overall was not bad. I set up my phone to record so I could share in GIF form for all of you wonderful people. Well like a total idiot I didn't switch the camera to the correct side so all the video is barely audible sounds and me picking the camera up. So I screen shot the only image in the video that wasn't the side of the pole the phone was leaning up against. Of course my kids called me old, and asked why I didn't make sure I had video. I simply replied I was to busy pushing cars.
I did my workout, but like an idiot I didn't log my numbers because I got distracted. As much fun as it is to have a training partner some times, it can also be a huge distraction- for example logging exercises.
I will get a video next time, hopefully pushing or pulling something a bit bigger/heavier.

Haha I get this, I love the videos I get where I think I hit record, but instead I get a pic of my nostrils as I pick up the phone to stop recording!
Sounds like a solid pull and workout! Also... 395 for deads for reps! That's awesome and so close to 400!0 -

I feel that way about my squats. It feels like they'll never come back. And I've lost ground in my pullups.
But.. As long as we keep working, and pushing, that's the key, right?
Glad you got back in today!0 -

Thanks, been really enjoying the hypertrophy training block. MFP jumbled the order for whatever reason and I didn’t realize it, I was intending for the cat scritches to be at the end.1
