^^^ Right?! Also, pretty crazy how standards have changed - she'd be considered fat today. Although her waist was small for her height (29")
Tuesday
Doing too much (I went to the gym last night for handstands, dips and pullups), this is the second week in a row that I wake up exhausted and cannot get the energy to squat/do a lower body workout. Traps/back just too tight/tired from Monday's workout. I ended up doing a recovery workout today - no heavy or low rep stuff.
However, instead of doing the smart thing, and taking time off, I'm just going to try to eat lots today. For work today, I'll be sitting down, so at least I won't be wasting energy running around. I might even have time to get a nap in. Lots of food will hopefully get me recoverd. Tomorrow is a real rest day, but tonight is the chance to go to metroflex.
Monday PM
Pullups: 2x6, 1x8, 2x6
Dips: 2x6
Cable curls
Handstands: 3x3up/down wall runs, although only the first was walking all the way in
Tuesday AM
Leg extensions: 10@40, 70, 85, 100
Back Squats: 10@95, 115, 135
Machine squats: 8@ 90, 125, 170
One leg glute bridges: 10@BW, 25, 25

What a great, fun article. I love see pictures of the old time strongmen/women and the stuff they did.

^^ Not really following a program.
upper/lower if anything.
Monday: upper (emphasis on OH press/handstands)
Tuesday: Legs
Tuesday PM is supposed to be cardio/GPP work, but sometimes I'll lift also.
Wednesday: rest
Thursday: upper (emphasis on bench)
Friday: Stretch/BW work
Saturday: Lower - although usually ends up being somewhat full body
Sunday: Sit on the couch.
I love following people (journals/logs) who do programs; it looks so organized and progressive, but haven't done a true program for myself. I've been lifting for 3-4 years and have a group of excercises that I like best. Generally, for each workout, I pick 2 compounds done heavy/low reps and 2-3 other excercises done 6-12ish reps. Lets me feel like I'm doing everything at once- although, much harder to progress.Last edited by tina722; 05-08-2012 at 11:12 AM.

I don't think I'm quite ready for a deload. Yes, on doing too much, not eating quite enough and getting too many calories from alcohol. I do like having recovery workouts, so it should be work out okay doing heavy workouts Monday, Thursday, Saturday and everything else is light. I like having a high workload, as long as I'm eating enough.
To add to all this craziness, I've been itching to get some endurance back - running. Especially now that the weather is better. I havent started yet, but wouldn't mind being able to do a 5k easily.
ANNDD, I might have a training partner - female!! I've known her for awhile, she stopped lifting to do the MS, but is back in the gym. She's strong, I just need to convince her to leave the superset/BB stuff behind and work for strength.
Today's workout
w/u: pulldowns/chinups/pushups
Bench: 65x10, 85x10, 95x5, 105x5, 115x3, 125x3 (help), 120x3, 115x3, 110x3, 105x3, 100x3, 95x3
CGPB: 80x5x3
Dips: 5x5
Cable flys: 4 sets

I've committed myself to dieting and it's amazing how not eating enough can affect one's lifts.
Hope it works out with the training partner. I like training on my own but sometimes it would be good to have someone to push me.
Have fun this weekend and thanks for stopping by my journal and trying to help me get my RAWR back (worked for the OH press ).My Journal: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=140511571

Thanks, I started off sumo, but couldn't get the 235 sumo style and switched to conventional. Not sure what happened. Next time.
I'm the same way, enjoy training alone, but a change, or a partner a few days a week would be nice. I think it's going to take some time to convince her though. She said no to squatting tomorrow...
RAWR!!! I need some of that. Too tired from the weekend, still.
OH press: up to 75x3 PR; then push press at 85x5x3
BB row: 85x6, 85x6, 115x5, 135x5, 115x5, 95x10
Cable OH press/flys: 2 sets
Pushups: 4-5 sets
BB curl: 35x15, 55x8x2

Thanks! Wall pushups - that's awesome - something else I need to get better at!
********
Looks like I'm going to join all those that are deloading (or were). I'll take the next week easy, but not completely off. The bf is sick and I feel like I may get it a little bit. I want to add in some jogging and do circuit stuff at the gym (3 days only, short workouts).
A few months ago I made some goals to hit (280 DL, 200 squat, 135 bench, 140#body weight). Haven't really "hit" these , but getting closer. I'm happy with the progress I've made in the weights. But, I have actually lost a few pounds (133-134ish), which I'm a little conflicted about: love it, because I haven't been this low in awhile, but on the other hand it wasn't the goal... and it makes me feel like I should really try to lose weight. But I still want to avoid counting calories and becoming obessed about the scale, so going to stay away from that a little bit longer.
New short term goal is still to hit these numbers, and also to focus more on eating enough. I will be cutting back on the drinking, so need to make sure I make up for those calories in food. I'll aim for reevaluating at the end of June/beginning of July. July/August/September are nasty hot and humid here, so if I still feel like trying to lose - that will be an easy time to cut back on calories.
Have been thinking about changing up the lifting a little bit as well. Still no "program" just change out some days. Keep lifting under an hour 3 days/week, (Saturdays can be however long) - really working on increasing weight/intensity of each session. Stretch/foam roll at most of these sessions. Two days of cardio/stretching.
Goals
- DL:270, Squat: 200, Bench: 135, BW: 135-136ish (lower DL goal, to make sure I reach it, and do not want to gain 5# in one month...)
- Addition of gatorade during workouts, add oil to two protein/milk shakes per day (currently do one)
- Jogging 20-30min 2x/week (for fun, not cardio)
- Stretch/foam roll more (becuase I've slacked off some)
****
And yesterday's so/so training session
w/u: leg extensions, DL
Back squats: 3@165,170,175
Box Squats: 3x5 @145
um..
some cable upright rows and some other random stuff that wasnt' hard...and decided to leave and start deloading.

^^LOL. you guys crack me up. No pooping allowed!!
From http://bretcontreras.com/
Article called: Muscle Strengthening Doesn’t Fix Form; Motor Control Training Does
Quoted:
"So the question now becomes, “How do we best go about fixing people’s natural inclination toward crappy movement patterns?”
I used to think that fixing people’s form on things was a matter of getting muscles strong. It’s not. You have to retrain their motor patterns.
X-band walks won’t fix someone’s valgus collapse during squatting; teaching proper form on squatting and having them practice it over and over will fix their form. The same applies to jumping, landing, sprinting, etc.
Altering technique has much more to do with the retraining the nervous system than it has to do with increasing strength. Most people already have the strength to perform a particular task, but they’ve memorized a faulty motor program and it takes time and concentration to get them moving better."
I bolded that sentence.
