Wow, you miss a lot when you don't check in for a couple days! We are a bunch of Chatty Kathy's, lol. Jennie, good to have you back - I am going through the same thing right now, its a bummer. Kit_Katty - Those OHP's are a pain in the butt! Congrats on breaking 100lbs! Vegas - Looks like Vegas might be more fun now, eh?…

Wee! Thanks guys...that's a lot lower than I thought I was, which of course - makes me happy. Now to just get it a little bit lower; I don't like how I look unflexed.

BUMP

Tameko: I don't think you eat more meat than my family does, lol...that's where our Costco Membership really pays for itself. I will have to try that meatloaf recipe...we were just talking about that last night! Here is a quick lunch/dinner/snack thing that I have been making from years - learned it from my mom, lol. Tuna…

In Wendler's book, he recommends a couple days of conditioning per week. His preferred method is hill sprints.

:heart: Thai food! Planning on making this something this week: Chicken Coconut Curry Makes: 6 servings, about 1 1/2 cups each 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size cubes 6 teaspoons curry powder, divided 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided 2 tablespoons coconut oil or canola oil, divided 1 large yellow…

Same here, dying to know the answer! Welcome to the group, Mcctin65! Its a little scary the first couple times, but before you know it - you will wonder what you were afraid of!

Does anyone have a good (tested) recipe for black bean burgers?

If I don't have exactly how to load each side of the bar written down before hand, I will completely mess up my workout. I can't add to save my life. Its rather embarrassing. ETA: I miss food already. Amazing how quickly you get used to extra calories and how much it sucks to drop back down to maintenance...and not only my…

Quick check in: Why is the internet so scary? According to webmd, I have a herniated disk...but I don't think I do. I bet its the SI flaring up or sciatic flaring (probably from my horrific coughing spells). My back really doesn't bother me, as much as right beside my butt crack on the right side, and a shocking like pain…

I decided on Skinny Taste Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken, as I am too lazy to go the store - and I have all the needed ingredients on hand. Maybe next week will be Asian-style! Is Catalina like French Dressing maybe? Its red too, lol.
-
Sounds pretty tasty. I was planning on doing quinoa this week as my grain...I might have to look into doing an Asian style chicken crock pot adventure. Dumb Q, but what is catalina dressing? lol

Oooh, I love showing off my furbabies! Shelby's first day home (8 weeks) Bath time for the babies Shelby today (4.5 months) Demilo last summer (he will be 7 in April)
-
Hey Vegas - thanks for the link, it does have some pretty good points! I like GGS and have been on GoKaleo once or twice - I should spend more time on there. I woke up with middle back and glute DOMS this morning, and slight arms stiffness form OHPs a couple days ago. It made me really happy, since its been months since I…

I start with 10 min on the treadmill at 3.5 or 4.0 just to get the blood flowing, heart pumping, etc. For squats on SL, I do two sets of five with the bar only, then add 20lbs and do a set of three...working up in 20lb increments to my work weight. The only other thing I warm up with a is a couple deadlifts at 135 before…
-
It has the 5+ sets, which I understand to be AMRAP...correct? Like rather than do 135x5, I did 135x11 for my last set today, as I thought that's what Wendler meant when he said something about the first 5 build strength and anything after puts the hair on your balls. Not that I have those.
-
Real quick before I chow down on some lunch, and before I forget how...badass (?) I feel. Deadlifts: Warmup 60x5 80x5 95x3 5/3/1 100x5 125x5 135x11 Burnouts: 5x10x80 5x10 Hanging Leg Raises (I used the roman chair) 50 DEADS ARE NO EFFING JOKE - holy *kitten*, I'm pooped. Whoever thought this was a good idea? :grumble: But…
-
Since I am trying to "bulk", I went with the BBB template. Someone emailed me suggesting that instead of doing OHP, then OHP assistance work...do the bench press instead, so I am still training each lift twice per week. I don't know if I want to go that route or just follow it as written. Core work sucks. I tried a dip…
-
Thanks guys. I shifted into 5/3/1 this week as I was seeing a lot of stalls on my lifts. I am hoping the higher volume, lower starting weight and slower progression help get me out of my rut.
-
First night of 5/3/1...Work out with like this: Warm Up: 30x5, 40x5 Work Weight: 50x5, 55x5, 60x6 5x10x35 Supposed to be 5x10 chinups, but I had to do 5x3 partner assisted chinups. When you are used to sets of 5....sets of 10 REALLY SUCK. Extra: You will get there...it just takes time.

Poor Darwin! I haven't needed rescue but I have had to do the roll of shame. Same as the convention thing...promise me Aaron Rodgers and I will move there tomorrow. :drinker:
-
DOMS appears to subside for most of us...at least per our conversations in the daily thread. I know it did for me, and I miss it, lol. I do notice I will get it if I take a longer break than usual, but for the most part - your body seems to get used to whats happening. However, you should split up the lifts and follow the…
-
Darwin - You stomach looks a lot flatter/smoother in the current shot! Your arms are rocking too! Tameko - I think I fall more into the first, "So in the first, you've kind of got the hip drive down but you've lost torso stability". I feel like I need to focus more on keeping my chest up to prevent folding over too much…
-
Next time I squat - I am going to make the hubz video it so I can watch what I am doing...and submit it for some form checks with you guys. When the load gets really heavy (like that stupid 100lb mark), my *kitten* come ups first, then the rest of my upper body comes up to the full standing position. Its really weird - not…
-
Watched "So You Think You Can Squat" for the first time last night. Some of the stuff directly conflicts with Rippetoe's videos, so I am still stumped. However, while reading Wendler's e-book, he mentions something about the *kitten* shooting straight up and thats not good. Which confuses me b/c Ripp stays to pretend your…

Non-flexed, better lighting.
-
Tamkeko - Thanks for the link. I am really not sure what my problem is, but its probably a combination of tightness in the hammies/lack of strength in the hammies, possibly weak core - but I have been working on it like a mother, and who knows what else. For a while, I was getting really bad spinal pain b/c I was focusing…

That's funny - my husband also thought "buttwink" meant I was showing the world my butt crack. I am a notorious buttcracker, so much that he calls me buttcracker. I just can't find the perfect pair of pants that can provide coverage for my abnormaly high butt crack without resorting to mom jeans.
-
I am stealing that line.
