Weigh in: 176.1

Warmup: Cobra Pose/Deadbugs, Box Squats/Kbell swings, Pullups

Squats
5x45, 3x95, 2x135, 2x2x175

I was supposed to do 6 doubles, but I was done after 2. I tried the new pre workout Re1gn today. 1.5 scoops was too much. My quads were shaking.

I skipped the good mornings and the leg press

Leg Curls
2x15x90

Good pump with these

My appetite was dead for most of the day. This new pre is no joke. I want to try less next time (1 scoop), but it may have to wait until next week.

Tonight's Dinner
Pan Seared Scallops with Blue Potatoes and Oven Roasted Kale



Back to them cutting cals.

[Partyrocking]

Did them close grip.

Tricep Extension/Curl Superset
3x10x39/3x10x45

Elbows were a bit achy. I think it's just the volume.

I went to my chiropractor this morning. I have a habit of internally rotating my shoulders to stabilize them and he's trying to correct that. I had to do bottoms up kettlebell presses and holds, ugh!

Tonight's Dinner
Oven Roasted Chicken Thigh with Crispy Kale and Potatoes with Carrots and Split Peas



Run
3km in 31 minutes

5 min warmup, 6 runs 1.5 min on/2 min walk, 5 min cool down

Now the program has me running longer but fewer runs. Was gassed.

[LadyLore420]

Nice workout, delicious looking meal.

Are you prescribed any rotator cuff stretches by your chiro? Those things are so awkward to do. You'll get some funky looks at the gym doing those!

The running will improve. Cardio is the dessert of the workout after eating your greens. Chase that runner's high!

[LunaLifts]

Omg with all this food.
I want scallops now.

He's having me do stability exercises. I don't think my shoulders are lacking in terms of flexibility; I just have learned poor movement patterns.

So good. I had more today.

Something went wrong with the second rep of my 222.5 set. It feels better now, but I'll have to re-evaluate my training going forward. Also I may have a new job soon.

Skipped rest of the workout.

I had a job interview in NYC, so I got pizza for lunch.
Pizza Suprema


Today's Dinner: Seared Scallops over Pearl Couscous and Arugula Salad

[anandagirl]

How'd your interview go? Good luck!

[LadyLore420]

[Partyrocking]

How'd your interview go? Good luck!

Thanks. It went pretty well. I had a different interview today. I want both jobs. Just hoping I get one

Lentils and scallops? Hnnng. Take care of that back

Used an ez curl bar for the pullovers. I think I get better contractions with the cable machine.

At the chiropractor appt, he had me do some back stretches and then he assessed my range of motion. The pain was starting to travel down my hamstring, which is bad. We're trying to get it to move back towards my lower back ... goodie.

I'm about to get after it myself, happy lifting peeps!

[thehobbes]

Looking good in that vid dudette, can tell you did awesome on the cut. And wtf are you trying to steal my Saturday chest day? Push dat chit to Monday like everyone else.

[Partyrocking]

Nah dude. Monday is Squat day. The rack is free cuz all the bros are benching.

I'm about to get after it myself, happy lifting peeps!

Crush it!

Thanks. I have a bit more to go, but I'm in no rush. I've been benching on Tuesdays/Saturdays for a few months now.

Today was my 6th C25k workout. I'm 1/4 of the way done with the program. Run was 2.52km in 20 minutes.

Tonight's Dinner

[LunaLifts]

Yay for food, boo for the back issues. So many scallops, yum. :3

You are both wrong. Last time I worked out on Saturday, both the bench station AND the rack were taken. Pretty much by the same person

And I agree, cut has you looking slim and jacked, at least from the screenshot I saw before my computer decided it didn't like you tube again

Back is coming along; slowly but surely.

Was this you?

Thanks. I don't think I've been this light since high school. Hoping to get to 170 by September 15. Will probably stop cutting by September 30th, so I can focus on meet prep. I want to do the Nov 12th meet. A full meet if my back is up to it. Else, I'll do a bench it only.

Today's Workout: Lower 1 Squat Day

Weigh in: 173.4-new low

Warmup: Cobra Pose/Deadbugs, Birdogs, Bench Squats/Kbell Swings, Pullups



Squats
5x45, 3x95, 2x135, 1x155, 6x2x175



Kettlebell Swings
4x10x61.7

Did these instead of the Good Mornings so I wouldn't annoy my back. I lean back too far. I'm wondering if I can use resistance bands to force me to stay upright.



Single Leg Leg Press
3x9x300

Tough, but I got them all.

Leg Curls
3x15x90

Leg pumps were real.

Tonight's Dinner:
Crab Stuffed Salmon with Blue Potatoes


Got them from Fresh Direct. The ones from Costco taste better.

[thehobbes]

Nice work, Party! This log is total food pron. Whenever I open your journal and the page starts loading it just flashes all these huge pics of glorious food. I feel dirty.

[LunaLifts]

Back is coming along; slowly but surely.

Was the book your chiro gave you related to your back issues?
There's a chiro that accepts my insurance, so I hope to be getting my back issues finally fixed as well (assuming my test goes well, and I can drive myself to these sorts of things). It's been off since.. chit, I think like Jan 2015. So yeah, hopefully that, and my shoulder can get back to 100%.

Or at least so I can sneeze without bracing to prevent my back from twinging. :/

Nice squatting, and congrats on the new low.

[anandagirl]

Was this you?

No way. My warm up lasted twice as long as normal, and then I stood around for another 20-25 minutes waiting for an Opportunity to bench. Dudes were doing like HUGE supersets between the power rack, the bench rack, dumbbells and god knows what else. When the one dude finally finished his half squats and actually unloaded the bar, I had to move the other dude's trap bar deadlift set up so I could pull a bench into the power rack, since he was apparently still going to bench sometime this century. On that day I vowed never to work out on Saturday again.

Nice work, Party! This log is total food pron. Whenever I open your journal and the page starts loading it just flashes all these huge pics of glorious food. I feel dirty.

Totally LOL

Oh and congrats on the new low!

Yeah it was a book on back pain. The book said if you stand up when you sneeze it can help w/ back twinging.

On that day I vowed never to work out on Saturday again.

Totally LOL

Thanks. If I work out on a Saturday, it's either right when the gym opens or an hour before closing. Any other time is a mess.

My chiropractor said no deadlifts for now, which makes sense, but makes me sad. My gluteus medius is tight (on the right side) and he wants to retest it on Thursday.

I can still squat though. Squats are life.



Cardio
28 min
5 min warmup, 90 sec run/90 sec walk + 3 min run/3 minute walk- repeat it all twice, 5 min cool down

It was foggy. Also, there was this sketchy guy in the parking lot at the park. Wasn't sure if he was a serial killer or a drug dealer.

[thehobbes]

Great job on bp! I don't think I've ever noticed anybody using straps on incline db press. I do put a little chalk on my hands on heavy sets just to be safe.

Did he ask you to help him lift a couch into a van? If so, serial killer.

[LunaLifts]

Yeah it was a book on back pain. The book said if you stand up when you sneeze it can help w/ back twinging.

Standing is the only time I have the problem, lol.

Yeah, especially if he has you take the end going into the van first

The straps are for the rows.

The guy was strange. He left his car running the whole time and never came out. Don't know what he was doing there.

Standing is the only time I have the problem, lol.

Maybe I read that wrong. He said something about making sure you're not in spinal flexion when you sneeze. I assumed you do that by standing up.

Yeah, especially if he has you take the end going into the van first

I was wondering if I should call someone to pick me up.

Good job with dual skill, cook well and lift well =)

[LunaLifts]

Maybe I read that wrong. He said something about making sure you're not in spinal flexion when you sneeze. I assumed you do that by standing up.

Makes more sense, I brace to prevent from bending when I sneeze. It's not bad lying down, or sitting, but I think I just move my neck more that way.
I don't know, it's an issue I've gotta get taken care of anyway, so hopefully soon I can see someone for it.

Good workout, nice GHRs.

[thehobbes]

Ohhhh for the rows, ok that makes more sense.

I spy a little nubbin' of broc**** hanging out of your sammich. When I make paninis I broc**** that bish up!

^^^Wow, me and my dirty language talkin' about vegetables LMAO.
