Nice PR Alisa! It’s good seeing that you’re getting some good PL coaching. I wish i had that available in person. The internet video critique is good but in person has to be something else.
WOOT WOOT!!!
PR!!!

Saw a trainer in the gym with a kid a few years younger than me, lifting his first time. He was teaching him to only bench halfway down to his chest, and counting 85 pounds as “40 pounds” (apparently not knowing you have to add the bar.)
I had half a mind to say something to the kid, but figured he wouldn’t believe me.
Why would you misinform somebody so obviously? I wonder if he was just trying to play a mean trick on the kid, “Ha ha, serves you right for being 18 and going to the gym for the first time.”
squat pr and over 2000 cals! u’ze on a roll!

Congrats on the squat PR. Good job!
So, the Unpredictable Schedule strikes again. Squats two days in a row => I didn’t try to PR today.
squats: 5@85, 5@95, 5@95, 5@115, 5@85
dumbbell overhead press: 5@30, 5x6@35’s. (40 didn’t work. At all.)
push press: 3x5@55, 3x2@65
hypers: 5x10@25
40 hanging leg raises
bike sprints, 8x30s
Met the Other Girl and she’s nice.
food: 2085 kcal, p/f/c 206.8/87.4/84.6
deadlifts: mucking around with form, beginning to get it by the last sets.
5@155, 5@155, 5@175, 5@175, 10@135, 5@135, 5@135
Things I learned: put my feet wider. Dead stop and reset after each rep. Try for a more horizontal back.
bench:
5@45, 5@75, 5@85, 5@95, 2@105, 2@105, 2@95.
Go up, bench! Up, bench, up! The bench will not go up. Bad, bad bench!
I need to get past 105 sometime soon.
squats:
5@45, 5@85, 5@95, 5@115, 5@125, 3@135 (PR!)
Finally bodyweight. Such a fucking relief.
hypers: 8x10@25
incline situps: 3x10@20
lat raises: 3x10@12.5’s
food: 2400 calories (yikes!)
p/f/c 177.2/113.6/152.1

ohhh! witchcraft. u know the way to mah heart. lol
there’s no way ur getting fat with those workouts and 2000 cals a day. stop being dramatic. did you put ur jeans in the dryer? is it that time of month?
even if neither is the culprit… who cares? don’t back the calories down. ur body will adjust and thank u in the long run. and ur strength increases will give you the motivation to keep it up.
nice work on the bw squats!
I put the jeans in the dryer, yes. Normally I hang them up. Does that matter?
I like the strength increases. Hell, I wouldn’t mind gaining the “good” kind of weight.

only time i put my jeans in the dryer is when I want to…
no fuckitol i dont put my jeans in the dryer. they get smaller and it takes longer to get the perfikt borked in feeling in them.
nice effort at eating more. you can do better.
Good luck on your midterms. I suspect you bring the same goal-oriented intensity to your studies that you bring to the iron, so I’m betting you’ll ace them.
so have you noticed if the extra food is helping? 
And are you maintaining your weight? That must be at least a comforting thought to know that you CAN eat(more) and train hard…and still fit in your cloths! 
Thanks, kimba! I’ll do my best.
I think the food might be helping – I am improving – but it’s been maybe two weeks, so I’m not sure.
I haven’t dared weigh myself, actually. I’ll check, though; it’s worth knowing.
Thing is, I might keep it up (the more-food project) till February, since NOTHING I’ve read about powerlifting makes it seem like it’s a good idea to diet seriously while preparing for a meet. I already need a lot of improvement, so I’m not going to make it even harder for myself by being silly about food.
agreed! you need all the energy you can get!
Are you eating by the clock or when you get hungry?
By the “clock” – i.e. when I don’t have class and meals are served. Timing is not really up to me except if I buy myself stuff.
