Reeeeeeaaaaaaallllyyyy speedy squat day.

Got to the gym at 1, found out it closed at 1:30.

SSB squats to a box against double minis:
(The bar is really heavy, but I have no idea how much it is, so I'm going to pretend it's 45 to make things easier)
5@bar
4@bar+bands
2@95+bands
2@115+bands (x2, too slow)
2@95+bands (x8)

ME painting.

I believe most SSB are around 85lbs. Speedy though it is, that looks like a very nice little squat session.
I didn't know anything closed at 1:30 on Saturdays. Sundays? Oh goodness yes. Everything closes like an hour after it opens, if it even opens at all.
Shouldn't things be open later? It's my day off, I want to lift (and buy things) on my own time.

We had one at Wild Iron that was like 60 and one that was like 80...I'm guessing this one in the 80+ range, but who knows. The scale is in the women's locker room, and I just don't care THAT much...

Yeah, the gym here is a little family-owned place, it's open 8-1:30 on Saturdays, 1-6 on Sundays. I guess the hours are better than Wild Iron, but it's still going to take a little getting used to!



Bench opener day:

8@bar
5@95
5@135
3@185
Shirted up:
3@225 (2bd)
2@255 (1bd)
1@275 (1bd)
1@275 (x2)

I'm pretty confident in my opener, I'll be happy with 1/3, ecstatic with 2/3, and might not even deadlift if I go 3/3...

[koyongi]

Last squat day!

Thanks, and you're welcome.


Day 1 of boredom:

Did lots of cleaning, ate lots of protein.

[fitlover]

Verryyy nice squats, Becky! There's my motivation for Friday

Hopefully, it's plenty of motivation for me next Friday, too!



Day 2 of boredom:

Went out to explore the trail by house.
Walked to the end of the street, ran to the trail, ran a while, turned around, ran a while, walked a while, got home.

A little over 2.5 miles, ran 15 minutes, walked 15 minutes.

[koyongi]

Day 4 of boredom.

Rode my bike to the company picnic.
Ate food, played on teeter totter.
Rode my bike home.

Water load started for real today. Ick.

[breathinglife]

Awesome squatting! Good luck with the water loading. I followed your tips and it worked like a charm. My scale was off, so I ended up having to drop more weight than I expected and I still pulled it off with no sauna/cardio.

But I imagine you are feeling pretty fuzzy right now. I got really lightheaded when I went over 3 gallons.

Thanks! Glad I could help! Fortunately I'm little and a bit pre-bloated, so I don't have to go over 2 gallons a day. I still feel like I'm swimming, though.


Day 5 of boredom:

Water load is progressing nicely, up to 133.8 morning weight.
Chiefs win!
Back to painting.

[koyongi]

Copious amounts of nachos and other assorted football-watching food were less bloaty than anticipated.

Day 6 of boredom:

Last day of the water load.
Morning weight of 133.4.
Judging the Mizzou Law negotiation competition tonight is going to be fun as I run to the bathroom after every round...

[Link815]

Why do your squats look like Robert Wilkerson?

Day 7 of boredom:
No more salt. Hooray!
Morning weight 132.
Today will still be watertastic.

[koyongi]

Day 8 of boredom:

The end is in sight.

130 morning weight.
Will cut water later today.
Weigh ins are in the morning when I get to Vegas.

Almost there!

[TurtleApe]

Good luck

[breathinglife]

Good luck at the meet!

[koyongi]

Good luck

Good luck at the meet!

Thanks guys. It's a little known fact that I don't actually produce luck on my own, so I'm gonna need it.


Day 9, this one shouldn't be as boring:

Morning weight 126.
Time to start sweating, both literally and figuratively.
Woo hoo!

[koyongi]

Weigh in: 122.6.

No variance here!

[DesireToGrow]

I wish you the best of luck.

[mikeatnscc]

[LegosInMyEgos]

You're a beast at cutting weight.
