Scoveg13 and Erinlee01 Recover with Gluta-Tren

[rpaul11]

I'm considering a bench meet later in the year and I was looking at Smolov, Jr. I'll be paying attention to see what you get out of it!

that would be cool.

how much ya bench?

Nice to know you read my journal.

Last time I attempted a 1 RM, I hit 125. There are no state records for my age and weight class in a couple of federations, so just putting up a number would give me a record. But I'd like it to be respectable. I'd be happy if I could get to 135.

I am sure you could hit that E. We look forward to seeing pics of bright, shiny hardware.

Haven't weighed myself recently but I'm getting leaner and leaner every week!

Today was a chest and ab workout:
Smolov Jr Bench Week 1, Day 2: 7 sets of 5 - 150x5x7
Incline Dumbbell Bench: 65x5, 60x8
Incline Dumbbell Flies: 35x10, 40x7
Pec Deck: 188x9, 213x6.5
Knee Raises: BWx30x3
Weighted Oblique Side Crunches: 45x30x30
Ab Machine 70x20x2

Took one scoop of Gluta-Tren and sipped it during my workout, especially during my 7 sets of barbell bench press. Around set 4 I was feeling quite fatigued but I kept sipping thee Gluta-Tren and managed to complete my 7 sets of 5 reps without hitting failure, so I' very happy with that! I don't know if I'd be able to complete all 7 sets of 5 reps without the help from Gluta-Tren. Tomorrow is back day and thursday is my day off, So I'll continue with Smolov Jr Friday and Saturday

Good work being done in here!

I think you have that 135 in you erin!

[erinlee01]

OK, by the time I typed that all in there last night, I was too tired to think. After a whopping week and a half of trying PHAT, I'm giving up on it. lol. 5 days a week is a lot and as much as I might wish to have the free time to do it, I just don't. Well, I do, but I like seeing my husband and kids. lol.

So, I'll finish out this week and then I'm going to give Madcow's 5x5 another go. I really enjoyed it the last time I ran it (2010, maybe?) and 3 days is far more doable for me with kid schedules, yoga and TKD.

Good work being done in here!

I think you have that 135 in you erin!

Thanks! If I can stay in the game, I can get to 135.

Had a nice back session with ramsgoldberg this morning and I got my internship finalized for the summer too!

Took a scoop of my Wildberry Gluta-Tren intra-workout and also tried the Orange Gluta-Tren which tastes amazing.

Back and Calves:
Deadlift (5/3/1 day): 300x5, 335x3, 375x2! (PR!, now that I'm looking at my notes I realized I was supposed to deadlift 370, not 375 so I added an extra 5lbs for the month!)

Incline Dumbbell T-Bar Rows: 30lbs per hand x 10, 30x11, 40x8x2

Good job to the both of you. Great job with the Deadlift PR scoveg! Erin get better !

Erin nice training today. what you think of the beta extreme?

I like it. But honestly, I don't feel I get any more out of it than I do the regular version. That said, I was dosing 1.5 scoops with the regular version and am only doing 1 with the dime version, so I am getting a cost savings out of it.

TKD
45 minute class

Rope drills. Yuck. Too much jumping for my tastes. On the up side, it's bo staff week.

Going to be tough getting to class over the next few weeks. I had to race from my younger son's soccer game to class. I could have done the same Wednesday after my older son's game, but on sparring nights it's even tougher because I need to get there earlier to get my gear on. Hopefully, I'll get there tonight for my second class of the week.

Just wear your gear to the games

No way! It's starting to get warm here. That gear is hot as hell. Just putting it on and standing there in winter had me sweating like crazy. And the gear smells it. The lower belts stay away from us on sparring nights. lol.

Forgot to take my Gluta-Tren on friday and my workout actually kinda sucked but I think it was because I was mostly tired and stressed

However, today was an excellent ARM day!

Skullcrushers: 80x8, 80x8, 75x8, 75x8

Friday TKD
45 minute class

It was 75 out and we sparred. This summer is going to be rough. I need to figure out what to do with our gear. It's really starting to smell funky. You know it's hot when an 11 year old takes off his helmet and his hair is wet with sweat. My brother got back into class with limited activity. He's happy to have the cast on.

Sunday Workout, Week 1, Day 1 Madcow

Zercher squats
45x5
50x5
60x5
75x5
85x5

Had my hubby watch to make sure I'm using both sides equally (still can't fully feel the muscle on my right side so I want to be sure I'm not worsening my imbalance). He said I was. Good news.

Bench
50x5
60x5
75x5
90x5
100x5

BOR
45x5
45x5
45x5
50x5
60x5

1st 2 sets were supposed to be 25 and 35. I can't get the same motion with plates, so I just used the bar.

Hyperextensions
25x12x2

Double crunch
25x16x4

Workout felt good. I was mildly surprised because my back was a little sore. I was weeding yesterday and bent over instead of kneeling too much. Lesson learned.

A little background on my kids, for those who don't know. I have a 7 year old son, Kevin, with ADHD who is both the bane of my existence and the most hilarious kid I know. I have an 11 year old son, Mike, who is the perfect kid - never in trouble, great grades, Boy Scout, has the biggest heart (and I don't know where he gets that from). From time to time, they do things that I'll brag or complain about, and the background helps put it in context.

Both boys are playing soccer this season. Mike has played 2 seasons per year since he was 4 and loves it. He played travel one year, but had an abusive coach that killed him on the travel program. So now he plays rec for the fun. Kevin has played twice since he was 4. He's moody and sometimes wants to do things just because Mike does them, and sometimes doesn't want to do them because Mike does them. This season, he wants to be like Mike, so he has been dying to get into goal (Mike played goalie on his travel team and is decent at it - it's his favorite position).

Kevin got his chance to play in goal yesterday. Mike went over to remind him to use his hands. Kevin's reply, "Mike, I'm NOT using my hands. Now, Mikey, leavey!" and kicked him out of the goal coaching position. lol. So, he gets scored on immediately by not using his hands. Lesson learned. Next time they shoot on him, he gets the ball. As he goes up to drop kick it, instead of running or walking as other goalies do, he skips. I have to get a video of this, it's hilarious. I probably should have been annoyed with him yesterday, but luckily for his he's too frigging funny to stay mad at.
