Back Squat
115x2x6

Wide Squat
85x10x2

Step Up (to bench)
BWx20x3

Abs
75 reps

I feel like I'm recovering from being sick finally. Work capacity it still diminished. I get tired quickly. I started coughing and my chest burned when I got to step ups and abs. Likely because I was super setting those and moving through them quickly.

Squats were a mix of OK and not so good. Some reps were on my toes, some were solid.

Bench was not all that easy but at least slingshot was. CG bench was okay on the first set but I could feel myself getting tired towards to end of the second. Coughing held off until I got to accessory work.

[bmgamble]

You still with us?

[penny0527]

Sorry! Still alive. Life is busy these days. Lifting is not too exciting lately. I have had one issue or another most of the year so far.

Looks like I am 2 months behind on logging. I'm never going to catch up

I just gave up on catching up my log, and have just picked it up from this week. I did get caught up with Wade though. Hope all is well!

Tuesday 2/20/18 - Back Squat

Back Squat

Speed Deadlift
185x2x5
 
wide squat
85x10x2

Step up (to bench)
BWx20x2

Abs
50 reps



Still not feeling like a badass but I'm trying to hang in there. I did not cough through this session so that's a win. Chest burns a bit but I can deal with that.

Original write up of this session did not include deadlifts. I asked wade to either add deads in or more squats. It's time for me to start stepping it up.

I've never really had time to do abs on squat or deadlift day but I have been trying to make time. Even if it's not all 100 reps I do some.

Thursday 2/22/18 - CG Decline

No lifting. Have the stomach flu.

DB Press

25x25

First day back to lifting after the stomach flu. I would not wish that on anyone! I spent two days in bed because I was so tired and everything hurt. I finally got up Saturday but mostly spent it watching TV because I didn't have any experience energy.

Did not do accessory because I just was not up for it. I'm not 100% and already worn down just from main lifts. Bench sucked pretty bad. I can tell I've lost strength badly there. Slingshot and CG was OK. DB press always sucks but I make sure I do it even if I don't have time (or energy like today) for other accessory work.

Decline was slow and not all that easy. Can't believe I misloaded. I also almost did just 6 reps on OHP because my sets are normally 6 not 8. Really didn't have it together

[penny0527]

Saturday 3/3/18 - Front Squat & Deadlift

No video or log on this day. Maybe I didn't lift or maybe I didn't care about videoing the session. Who knows.

Wade said if I felt OK to be progressive with the sets of 6 on bench . Still weak and 105 was hard so I stayed there.

Paused Squat

Abs
75 reps

***out of time***



Wade said either do 125x6 twice or go up to 130x6 on the second. I think going to 130 wore me out more than I planned because I didn't have anything left for OHP. Just 65 lbs kicked my ass.

[penny0527]

Friday 3/9/18 - Front Squat & Deadlift

Front Squat
45x3
105x3x2

Trap Deadlift
210x3x2

Conventional Deadlift
205x2x6

Step Up (to bench)
BWx20x2

Abs
50 reps



Front squats were not terrible but not really easy either.

I expected trap to be light but they didn't feel that way. Not sure why I thought that since nothing has felt easy in quite some time.

The same spot over my ribs hurts like hell. I was hoping it would heal with all this half-assed lifting giving it a break but it obviously hasn't healed.

Made sure to get some ab work in.

[LunaLifts]

Hey, sorry to hear you're dealing with flu recovery, and rib hurty issues. I hope both feel 100% soon, you're still killing it though. Way to get it.

[tina722]

Yay!!! Lifting and doggies!

Good to see the vids. Your deadlift is always so pretty, and I try to make mine look like yours.

Sorry to hear about all the issues. Also, did you get your house built yet?

Good to see you are still alive at least!

Wade said to be progressive with the sets of 6 on bench but I did not have it in me. I am still weak although I was feeling more energetic than I have been.

Thanks! That stomach flu was brutal especially right after bronchitis!

Yay!!! Lifting and doggies!

The dogs get so excited to go with me in the morning.....then they sleep the entire time!

I can't believe you described my dealift as pretty. I usually feel like I'm doing them all wrong

We have not started the house yet. We originally said we would start it after a year. Now that it's been almost a year and we decided our living situation isn't as bad as we expected we talked about waiting longer. My husband and I talked more about it this weekend. Based on our current plan we could probably pay off everything by the end of next year and have enough saved for the over and above costs we expect will come up. I know there will be things we will want to change/upgrade during the build and that will cost money out of our pockets. I know my taste Essentially the better spot we are in financially when we start to build the more likely it is I'll get exactly what I want without having to sacrifice a lot. The builder says if all goes exactly as planned and the weather cooperates it will take 10 months to build. That's not going to happen so I'm sure it will be a year. That means an additional year beyond when we start. That kind of sucks but hopefully watching the house go up will make time fly.

Tuesday 3/13/18 - Back Squat

Back Squat
135x2x6

Paused Squat
115x3x2

Wide Squat
85x10x2

Banded Conv Deadlift
175x1x3 (s/b 8 but stopped after 3)

I cannot find my squat videos for this session.

I could only do three banded deadlifts. I had to stop after that. When I picked up the first it hit that spot over my ribs hard and I did not expect it to hurt that bad. I had to drop it and think I aggravated my lower back in the process.

[penny0527]

Thursday 3/15/17- CG Decline

CG Decline
95x3
115x1
130x6
135x6
115x8

CG Bench
80x8x3

OHP - strict
65x7 (fail 1)
55x8
55x8
(bring grip in per Wade)

**out of time**

 

I slept in a little which didn't allow time for accessory. My lower back is pretty messed up. It hurts to walk and I can't find a good position to sleep so I moved around all night. I ended up moving my alarm forward an hour.

The 135 decline was sloppy. It might have been too heavy but I'm tired of taking it easy so I pushed it a bit. Maybe that was why I failed the last rep of OHP. Wade told me to bring in my grip on the 2nd and 3rd set.

[penny0527]

Friday 3/16/18 - Front Squat & Deadlift

Front Squat
45x3

Trap Deadlift
215x3
215x3

No videos today not that there was much to record. Phone wouldn't record because it said I was on a call when I was not, powered off several times, video button was greyed out....I gave up.

Lower back is pretty messed up from Tuesday. I procrastinated even starting this session. After trap I could barely put my shoes on for conventional and couldn't stand up straight. Wade said to pull the plug.

I know you are behind but can you let me know when you get up to this year at least?

[FallenAngel80]

Sorry to hear about your back. Good job on pushing the decline, but take care of yourself.

[bmgamble]

Good to see you again! I feel you on the pain/soreness as my hamstring isn't playing well right now. Hope you heal up quick!
