Hey there. Ankle is OK right now. Still pops often but it is not painful so I'll take it.

Highlights - Week of 10/01/18

[LunaLifts]

Trying to get caught up a bit. Nice DL @ 280, I don't know how it felt, but it looked like you could have maybe done even more. It looked pretty solid.

It felt a bit shaky which means it was near max but I don't think it was my actual max. I don't always go balls to the wall with test days. Sometimes it's just a matter of pulling more than I did during the last test day, building up confidence and conditioning.

Training Week of 10/8/18

I made a couple of PR's this week but still struggling on Thursdays. Wade introduced me to tempo squats which were hard to adjust to at first but I think I'm getting the hang of them.

What are tempo squats, Penny? Are you timing the descent and ascent?

Timing the descent 1 to 3. It was originally count to 5 buy that was turtle speed considering how short I am.

Monday 10/15/18 - Bench

Bench
45x3
85x2
110x2
125x3 paused
130x3 paused  (current 3RM)
130x2 paused (fail 1)

Slingshot
135x6
135x6

25x25
25x25

DB Row
25'sx12x3

45'sx12x3

Abs
75 reps



I was hoping to get the second set of 130x3 but I was shot and didnt even have it in me to fight it out. I'm happy I got the first set though because that means the first one a few weeks ago wasnt a fluke or a one time PR.

I wish I had held the bar over me after the first set of 130 like I would have to do in a meet. Next time.....

Hit the safety bar somehow on slingshot. I think the collar hit. I must have been off to the side too much.

It's been a little bit, lol. How've you been?

[thehobbes]

Heyyyy welcome back P!

[MatTheCur]

Welcome back Ms. Moneypenny!

[KissIcon]

I can't believe I have not posted since October last year....

Well hello there stranger

[penny0527]

Hey all. I'm good just busy. Training is consistent but I don't seem to have time to post these days. Our company was bought out at the end of last year. I took on a bigger role and it's just crazy. Spending 2 to 3 hours on the road every day doesn't help either. I finally uploaded a back log of videos recently. I'll try to do this past weeks and post here.

[bmgamble]

Glad to hear you are still at it. Sorry to hear about the extra time spending on the road. That has to take a toll. Is that temporary?

[penny0527]

It is only temporary if I quit my job which I dont plan on doing. I may have the option to work from home some which would definitely help.

The traffic has been worse for the past couple of months because a barge hit the bridge on one of the major freeways. They have half the lanes shut down until its repaired so people are taking my route as an alternative. it makes my drive home about 20-30 minutes longer. Supposedly they will repair the bridge in June

[thehobbes]

Ugh that sucks about the longer commute, sounds like that accident farked up a lot of people's every day lives. Whoever is responsible for that barge hitting the bridge deserves to be cursed with every pizza they ever get falling on the ground toppings side down, srs, don't screw up traffic man.

I hope they stick a cattle prod in his *******. Yesterday I left at 4:15 and got home at 10 mins till 6pm

[HARRYBEAST]

I had an alert go off that Penny was talking anal play

[penny0527]

Last week:










Notes:

Failed 3rd rep at 130 on bench. Tired. A couple of weeks ago I failed a paused 135 which I haven't done in forever so Wade pulled back a tad and added microplates.

Squats suck as usual.

Pulled 280 easily. 2nd rep was harder just because my hips were high.

[HARRYBEAST]

man is it still not warm enough in Texas for some shorts?

[penny0527]

Not at 4am. I still use my heater during my warm up

[anandagirl]

Hi! Glad your training has been consistent!!
