Hey Dasher! glad you dropped by we need more strong women in these parts.
Sheiko week 1 day 3
my usual 15 mins of warmup and stretching
Squats:
125 1x3
150 2x3
170 2x3
185 4x2 - felt nice trying to really push my knees out and get explosive with my hips. BOOM! I was also trying to convince my brain that this was lightweight for squating, really should be since I plan to bench it someday.
Bench:
95 1x3
110 2x3
135 6x3. This was supposed to be 130lbs by the program but I knew I had it in me and I didn't want to juggle a bunch of smaller plates. I splapped on the big wheels and told myself to deal with it, which I did.
20 mins of inclined treadmill 8% at 3mph. Walked a little over a mile.Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself. George Bernard Shaw

Hallowed - your on your way to catch me
Dasher - I bet you we would still be there if we had written in our logs that we bathed in anaconda everyday and sprinkled our cereal with indigo in the morning. "Best pairing with a glass of Pinot Grigio? A finibar of course you uneducated fool" lol, screw them. They need maliable gullible idiot customers willing to pay through the nose. Anyhow I refuse to dwell on this much longer, I believe this was for the best all around. Enemies: you ignore the weak and exile the queens.
On to business...
I walked 5 miles in the beautiful sunshine yesterday, might try to hit the gym tonight. Supper will be a nice rack of BBQ ribs.Last edited by nlmain; 04-04-2012 at 08:49 AM.

gym didn't happen last night, but that's ok the 2 days of rest made me feel strong and ready to lift heavy stuff.
Squats:
125 1x3
150 2x3
170 2x3
200 4x2.
Bench:
90 1x3
105 1x3
120 2x3
140 5x3 - really proud of my last set. I knew I could get the first 2,3 in but I was sceptical about getting all 5. Strangely my game face was set by the fourth set and they actually felt easier. ah yeaahhh.
Squats:
135 1x3
160 2x3
185 4x3 - by the last set I knew I had hit my wall so I skipped cardio and went home. I'll try to get in some quality miles tomorrow.
Also diet is still going good. Lost my first 5lbs, only another 5 to go and I'll be back in my comfort zone. I'll have to remember that hitting my target weight isn't a free ticket for wine and beer every evening.
cheerios.

well it had to happen - despite the 3 days of rest I had a less then stellar session. My cookie face (2 year old niece) was sniffling and coughing yesterday so I'm probably fighting off some crap.
Sheiko 32 week 2 day 2
warmup 15mins
Deadlift pause at the knees:
165 1x3
195 1x3
200 2x2
230 1x3 - these felt nice and strong
Bench pause at chest:
90 1x3
105 1x3
120 2x3
135 2x3
145 3x2 - took a lot out of me today.
Deadlift:
165 1x3
195 1x3
230 2x3 - hit my wall at this point. The 2nd set actually stayed stapled to the floor and I had to regroup and give it a 2nd try. No way I was going to be beat by 230lbs.
260 2x1 - this was supposed to be 5x3 but it just wasn't happening tonight.
225 1x5 - added this as a finisher.
Treadmill: 20 mins 8% incline @ 3mph.
this is my first really off day in a while. If this persists I might have to reassess my diet. I'll see how things go next session.Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself. George Bernard Shaw

walked another 3 miles on friday, felt I could do more but kept some in the tank for saturday's torture.
Saturday
warmup and stretching
Bench:
90 1x3
105 1x3
120 2x3
140 5x3 - really happy with this set.
I was supposed to squat at this point but our gym only has 1 rack and someone was using it so I kept benching...
90 1x4
105 1x4
120 4x4.
Squats:
125 1x3
150 2x3
170 2x3
200 1x1 - set was supposed to be 6x3 but I hit the rack on the 2nd rep and lost my concentration
4x2 - the previous set played with my head and I didn't feel I had those triples in me
2x3 - grew a pair and did the last 2 sets as triples.
Overall quite happy with today especially considering how dismal my previous workout felt. Furthermore I've dropped an additional couple of pounds this week so I know I am finding the balance between losing the flub and keeping the strength. Total win.
cheers

I'm doing a modified Sheiko week 32. I did 37 and 29 pretty much as written but at this point I wanted to add a little conditioning. Not sure is I should still call it sheiko at this point. Sets and reps of main lifts are based on the program. I did 5/3/1 last year and had some good results on my squats. However my bench was pretty stagnant.

Fueled by a couple of good meals this weekend. Can we all say homemade pizza? nomnmnom
Modified Sheiko 32 Week 3 Day 1
Squats:
125 1x3
150 1x3
170 2x3
200 5x2 - really focusing on a tight set up so the bar feels lighter.
Bench:
90 1x3
105 1x3
120 2x3
135 3x2
145 3x1 -very happy with those. I was not expecting to make them happen
20 mins of treadmill 10% at 3mph. I was planning an 8% incline but I bullied myself into a few degrees more to compensate for the weekend junkfood. Funny how we can suprise ourselves sometimes.
Cheers

walked 5 miles last night but forgot my little caffeine boost before leaving. I yawned my way through, it took me 30 minutes longer, but I got it done.

Hi! I'm Kjake55. i'm not new to the forum but I haven't really posted in PL before now. I am trying to get more in touch with my inner PLer (lol) and have been reading some of the girl's journals. I hope you don't mind if I stop by now and again and keep up with you and your training. Which, btw looks like you're doing great with! keep up the good work.

Hi kjake, thanks for the thumbs up. I just spent the last couple of days in Vancouver for work. Flew back home yesterday. I'm considering this trip a deload. I did manage a nice jog to Stanley Parc on friday morning and did some heavy lifting as we were setting up our booths. I plan to hit the gym tomorrow. Glad to be home, now to get back to my good habits.

Just spent a crazy couple of weeks - once I returned from Vancouver my brother's wife gave birth to their 2nd daughter. I gave them a hand with the first one, my cookie-face, while they were in the hospital. Then I drove 3 hours to take part/see a bodybuilding show that my company was sponsering... Finally glad to be home, back in my routine and able to sleep and lift. Couldn't have picked a better day tp get back under the bar.
squats: 125 x3, 150 2x3, 170 2x2, 185 3x2
bench: 90 1x3, 105 1x3, 120 2x3, 135 4x2
Doesn't seem that much on paper. The bench felt much heavier than it should have. I'm glad I managed to muscle through non-the-less.
I'll try to get some walking in tomorrow.
