Was this something she had already told you about and you forgot or she sprung it on you last minute?

It totally messes up your mojo

Was this something she had already told you about and you forgot or she sprung it on you last minute?

It was more she told me about it (when the actual performance was 4:00 but forgot to mention that we had to leave early and pick up her mom beforehand. I get that she doesn't understand that 30 minutes less on a workout ****s me up though. This is why I have decided to just get up a little earlier and get all training done in the morning other than Wed/Aux day which will be my weekday sleep in day

Trying to play catch up around here. Your fs paused pr looked like warmup. Moving that nicely. Solid squats my man. Keep on hitting it.

I was going to suggest using your calendar to share info. That is what I do with my husband. Otherwise he will ask me again when we have plans to do things.

DEADLIFT SESSION
So this was my first ever session @ THE OGRE COMPOUND. The experience was great and I am definitely looking into the next time I can make this happen. Matt is cool as hell and I had a blast hanging with him. We trained and he hit PRs. I hit a PR on trap and then quit on conventional. I then got the talking to I needed to from Wade. He made extra sure that I got the lesson that I give up too easily and that I need to stop being a Pussy. I heard him loud and clear and will be working hard to avoid this from now on. Wade is as nice, caring, and cool as he looks on video. He is much bigger and intimidating in person though, even though he often said, "I am not even that big anymore" One of the highlights of the trip for me was Wade stalking the window at Planet Fitness after we had been drinking, it was pretty funny. I wrote most of this down after the trip was over so sets and such may be off

This is where the very deserved lecture came, I gave up on both of these in about 2 seconds as soon as I felt a little low back strain

The rest of the Day Matt and I hung out till Wade got home and then I had the most excellent bourbon tasting ever. I really can't stress that if you have an opportunity and can get out to the Compound DO IT! Wade is an excellent host and all his people are awesome. Especially Jennifer, with all due respect, her booty and legs have convinced me to talk Erica into squatting, and on top of all that she is also gave me a lecture that was pretty solid and she likes my dimple

Here is Matt and I to give you an idea of the level of drinking we did


Here is Wade stalking the Planet Fitness

And congrats on the trap pr!

SQUAT SESSION
So this is the first session where I applied the lesson I learned at the Ogre Compound. Wade
had a talk with me about giving up and how easily I do it. I was going into the session with a strained low back and normally I would let the doubt sink in and try to give up on my sets. I started thinking that way then hear Wade's lecture in my head and decided not be a pussy.

How did you feel about the first squat session after your "fellowship" with wade? Did you notice a difference in how squats felt?

I was wondering recently if Erica was still squatting with you. Good to see her back at it.

Well I only got a deadlift session in down there. So Squats are the same. I will definitely look at deadlifting differently now though

But the lesson should apply across all lifts though right?
