Penny's Training Jounal

[BubsNBean]

Yes theoretically 125x3=135x1. Ten times....should put me over 135 though. I hope. Now that I know I can live through this program. I may run it again later with 10# incremements.

All in the same statement you say this might kill you, but that you're gonna run it again with bigger increments. Lol!

I'm a glutton for punishment I guess

Yea now everyone will want the prisons

My wife is of the same chain of thought, I simply don't agree is all. Camping should be camping to me. Tent, stove, fishing poles ect.

Lol yeah this is what camping is all about.

I thought I was pretty smart when I came up with it, providing it was your average non intelligent Romero type zomibies.

Built in multiple layered defense, good observation posts, large fields for planting ect ect. F you walking dead, f you.

You sound like my husband. I always make fun of him for even thinking he needs to brainstorm about such things.

People don't study basic first aid or carry kits then get mad when ems doesn't make it in time before their loved ones bleed out either.

Better to be prepared. Although I worry more about the Sea peoples

Learning first aid is a bit different than preparing for a zombie apocalypse.

Sea peoples. Of course. I worry about those too. I also watched Lake Placid the other day so add man eating crocs to the list of things I need to prepare for.

65x10
75x5
95x3
105x6x6

Stair climber

Pretty easy day today. No aching in my shoulders so I guess yesterday's rest day was good for them. Left side of my chest is tight yet again.

Boom, I used your warm up again. Seemed to work fine for the shoulders. Going to have to modify it a little most likely for Friday and Saturday

[BubsNBean]

I suck at keeping up with both logs :/

[wishiwasdivin]

GJ penny, an that stair climber

I know. I try to post in reg journal and supp logs and it gets confusing as hell

GJ penny, an that stair climber

I think that stair climber was the reason my hip was spasming (is that a word?) last night. Holy chit.

I got to parallel today but not pain free. It definitely was NOT as miserable as it was when the injury was fresh. Just noticable tightening of both hips. I will ice tonight and see if any tightness lingers into tomorrow. I am still squatting a couple/few inches above my normal depth but I am getting there....I think.

[wishiwasdivin]

Congrats on the squats penny glad it's getting better.

Baby steps but FINALLY!!!!

[KissIcon]

way to go penny. baby steps or not, seems like you are getting closer to it. soon you'll have that cute ass-to-grass

I can't wait to say the same thing about deads

[MakeGoBoom]

Good news is good

[BubsNBean]

Yay squats!!!! Woot!

[lschepis]

Isn't 125x3 somewhat equivalent to 135 x1?

My point being you're doing 125 x3 TEN times. That's gotta be more than 135 x1 right?

Never had poison ivy. Fingers crossed

I agree! What 1MR calculator u using? Those sets with 125- awesome!

I don't get camping: sharing the woods with animals and bugs that want to eat you. I loved setting up the kids tent for 4 hours and sleeping in it for 2.

I had poisy ivy 3 weeks ago

I am a little excited that I was able to squat and with more than just the bar. My hips are sore like I did some work but I think how I am feeling is normal. All soreness is essentially muscle tightness but my mobility has not been affected like it was before. I am going to try to do more standing than sitting today to see if that helps.

Just to clarify I have not done 125x3 yet. That is the plan for this coming Saturday. A 1RM calculator says 125x3 is 132-135x1. Im not sure what 125x3x10 means.

It means you have muscle endurance

Only 1x135 = 1x135

Calculators are for the birds

I actually like the calculators. I like knowing that in order to work to a certain max I need to hit X number of reps.

Best gif ever!

And, I know soreness sucks, but at least it's muscle sore and not tendon sore! Even bigger win!

You know that is my favorite gif of all time!

It definitely feels less severe as before. I couldnt squat down just to pick up something off the floor before. I plan to roll my hips tonight and see what effect that has. While I am sitting here I feel....something. It defintelt helps to stand rather than sit

Wednesday 8/6/14: Smolov Jr. for Bench - Week 3, Day 2:

Flat bench
45x15x2
65x10
75x5
95x3
110x5x7

Today wasnt too bad. The 5th rep was not as smooth as reps 1-4 but all were locked out.

I got on the elliptical first so I could work on loosening up my hips. When they are tight it is difficult to arch for bench. I need to do more cardio I guess. People were stopping by asking me what I was doing. This happens almost everytime I get on the cardio equipment. If I ever have to run for my life I really hope my gun is loaded.

That is what I mean. I hope my gun is loaded so I don't have to run. If I have to run I'm fuked.

I am just doing what the program calls for plus my warmup. It is a few sets huh?
