Hey everyone!! So after upping the reps on bench press i am proud to say i managed 5x5 with 70lbs just fine (ok the last one was hell but i pushed through!!!) Workout A No squats, no time. Bench 5x5 @ 70lbs and did rows - single arm dumbbell with 25lbs. I like this WAY better than the barbell rows. I think i'll stick with…

Natalie: I think 1kg a week is really a lot. But it's up to you and what your body can do! I would aim more for 1 pound per week (or roughly half a kilo) I am at 145.4 this morning!! The lowest I've ever been and down 1 lbs!

Lifted today and the day should be good food wise! And I can't believe some people live without poutine.. lol! Did you do a good job…

Not really anymore.... but I do have Crohn's now that you're talking about inflammation........................ dammit. And no popping it doesnt help with the pain at all. It just keeps hurting. Even popping it hurts. I've never had issues with joints before though. I guess I was lucky.

I laughed at the sprinting back home :) ashley: i am SO happy to know that the rest of Canada has poutine too.. lol its so addictive. I haven't had one in forever though. I'm long overdue.

@Coady oh we're neighbors!!! I'm in Gatineau, Québec (Canada.. :) ) @Ashley. oh. POUTINE. you're defniitively in Québec too?? :bigsmile: It's probably exactly why you are stalling a bit. the weekends take over and since you're taking in more sodium that leads to water weight as well. I find that if my weekends are 80% good…

I get the exact same feeling in my knee. Even if it pops (it hurts like a mofo..) it will hurt again on the next set and feel like it needs to pop again. It doesnt happen all the time, just sometimes. I'm in for the advice

CoadyMarie: yay for heavy lifting!! Good job on going even though you didnt really want to. My goal for now is 140 (147.2 this morning), though I think I will try to shoot for 135, then do a body recomp for a year or 2 (bulk/cut cycles). I got my work cut out for me!!! Keep lifting heavy and eating lots of good food. Yay!
