Tina's training log

20180705 w 63 bench#2

I have been training consistently. 1 week off 6/28-7/3 due to traveling for work. July/August will be hard also - 7/20-7/24, 7/30-8-3 and 8/23-8/30 will all be traveling. Not set in stone yet - but September and October will have some required traveling. All energy will be focused on maintaining/being consistent.

So, this is the most recent session.

Nice work on bench. Travel can make things tricky. Consistency is a great focus and you can keep pushing while finding work arounds for the times when you can't make it to the gym.

[anandagirl]

Travel makes it hard. Way to go woman, getting it done!

[penny0527]

Traveling makes it almost impossible to be consistent. On top of finding the time and a gym you also have to pack all your lifting stuff.

I am not even lying the LA Fitness I went to in LA had one set of clips for the entire gym. and 2 squat racks. Fun times

I agree with you! My goal starting out this summer was three weeks of training every month, and then the week traveling is time off or if I can manage to get to a gym - dumbbell work. All of my travel is for work, which has been pretty jammed pack with seminars/meetings. Not to mention, not having a car, so I'm mostly limited to the hotel gym. I doubt that training on these trips is a real possibility.

Thanks! Just gotta roll with the flow sometimes!

Ugh, trying to fit lifting belt in is the worse. And I would refuse to leave my knee sleeves behind. Not exactly work cloths-friendly suitcase companions.

I saw the video of you deadlifting 5 plates or soemthing ridiculous. The other lifters and trainers must have loved that. Hopefully you didn't have to walk the whole gym looking for plates. and clips are never found in chain gyms!

I had been hoping that the 225 would move a little easier than they did. That was a little disappointing, last set at 225 was RPE10. Everything else went fine, although I was tired by the end and didn't do very much assistant work.

Oh to squat 225....

How are you doing with sticking to the program and not veering off course?

IMO about the same, but I'm not failing lifts and throwing a tantrum anymore . < Just a description for how it feels in my head - not that anybody in the gym realizes anything is wrong. Some numbers are just too heavy (eg. front squat in w 63, 64 and 65 had to be adjusted, deadlift in w65 I misloaded and adjusted.) I'm not going to stress over it now - lifting is my hobby and trying to force a certain schedule/exact numbers wouldn't work. ATM, I just tell Wade how the session went and he works with it. :| He added in a lot of volume which has been great for my confidence and just doing the work, without thinking about additional sets.

Couldn’t get the FS #s, but these were heavier than last week. Form is pretty bad at 170. Deadlifts moved.

Stressed out from work. Overall, not a bad day, form was not great and depth not there. RPE 10 generally for all 235# sets. 185 moved great.

Still pretty stressed out, but managed to get this workout mostly in. A little off on the numbers, I loaded incorrectly for the singles and realized in the middle of it. The singles were pretty tough, so I just worked my way up for the doubles.

I have mental issues often when I miss a weight. I'm always second guessing myself - was it really too heavy, or did I lose strength, or how did I F up?

Good call.

Does she have FB? I'm gonna harass her on FB. Message me on FB with her FB contact so I can message her, don't post it here.

Literally will bug her to start posting again.

Thanks for checking in all. It really means a lot.

I have been training - but mostly traveling. I wasn't home much in August and I won't be home much in October. It's maintenance mode right now. Really just trying to keep mobility and some training going. Training while traveling hasn't been an option.

I'm not active on social media. I've thought about doing instagram - but just haven't been able to make an effort yet.

I am lurking and will make an effort to respond. Seeing the team's workouts keeps me motivated and interested - so it helps.

If you're one of the few who has managed not to get involved with instagram, I'm envious and wish I also were in the same boat. It's fun at first, but my addicting personality gets the best of me and Instagram is terrible for mental health. Something to keep in mind although many use it as a great tool I believe people would be much happier without it...

^^^^
I have an instagram account, but mostly for checking in on others' training. I have twitter for my career and need to get more involved there, I want that to be more of my energy online.

Bench workout today. Pretty easy as it's week 1 in a cycle with Wade.


Eating and nutrition has been pretty good. I'm at 140 now and hopefully will get up to 145 by January. I start traveling again next week, so it might be easier said than done.

[anandagirl]

I would follow you on Instagram if you shared your account....
