I selectively indulge my appetites. usually I just go for insane amounts of veggies
I’d love your help
Thanks! What do you specialize in again? Sorry. I forgot
Week 2: Day 3
Front Squat: 1x5-40kg, 4x5 EMOM-45kg, 1x10-45kg
Bench: 1x5-35kg, 1x5-40kg, 5x5-42.5kg
Barbell rows: 5x15-30kg
Conditioning: kickboxing class
I woke up pretty sore but the squats felt really good. bench a bit stiff though. Kickboxing was fun but not much more intense than a light jog
Week 2: Day 4 - Conditioning
40min weighted walking- 35lbs in backpack. I wanted more weight, but my backpack (and I) couldn’t handle it- huge ego check
This was HARD. It wasn’t too intense on cardio, but my back and traps were KILLING me. Afterwards, my quads started feeling it pretty good too. Felt pretty good mentally though, I put in a podcast and the walk was over before I knew it
Week 2: Day 5
Back Squat: 1x5-50kg, 1x5-60kg; 15x3- 60kg EMOM
Overhead Press: 8x5-25kg (actually 30kg)
Pushups: 1x60, 2x(10 regular+10 wide grip)
Felt really good, so I decided to really challenge myself on the squats. It felt a lot easier than expected and went by REALLY quickly. That said, I was pretty dead for presses and couldn’t mentally get through the presses as planned.
@T3hPwnisher I randomly started crying after the squats. Any explanations?
The workout sucks to do, so there’s that…
But otherwise, beyond my scope. When I was recovering from ACL surgery, I was getting emotional in the absence of being able to strain and experience that catharsis. And considering you’ve had a major life event with starting college and all of that, it’s possible the physical brought out some emotional.

My wife has done something similar. What we gathered was basically I rush of adrenaline and that’s just how she handled it.

Woo woo incoming.
Cellular memories being triggered by hard training. It’s pretty common for massage to release cellular memories.
Just cry it out and breathe.
Aren’t you taking Femoston 2/10?
Yeah ,but I’ve been taking it for more than a month now and this is the first time something like this has happened
I’ve heard that before
I understand, I think it may be a bit of a roller coaster ride though, until your hormones balance out. Never underestimate the power of estrogen 
Week 2: Day 6
Overhead Press: 4x5-25kg
20x(5HSPU+10pushup+15 air squat)-EMOM
Incline Bench: 3x12-30kg
Face pull: 5x20-17.5lbs
Felt pretty crap going in but the actual workout wasn’t too bad once I got into things. My abs were really sore for some reason. Funny thing. I was seriously considering skipping the morning workout and going to spin class later, but the boy I have been posting about walked in. Yep, I got the workout in- still going to spin class tomorrow though

Femostone? I think it’s used for postmenopausal women but you are pretty younger than that. 
I’m a newbie here but I’m already a fan of you, little beast. But I’m curious - what’s your goal with this type ot training- strenght, muscle gain , both or smth different? You do some clasic strenght training but also much cardio and condition training.

Thanks for the kind words! My hormones are messed up so my dr put me on femoston. My goal is to get as strong as possible but I really like conditioning so I do it anyways

Week 2: Day 7
40min jog- 4miles
Rows: 4x8-40kg
DB incline Bench: 2x12-30lb Dbs
I really felt like running and decided to give it a shot. Felt really good but hip flexors quite sore after.
Week 3: Day 1
Squats: 1x5-50kg, 60kg; 5x5-65kg
Overhead press: 1x3 35kg- failed 4th rep; 4x5-30kg
Conditioning: 10x(5 push press-20kg+10 pushups+20 alt lunges)-9:08
The squats felt AMAZING. I woke up with really sore knees, but that disappeared like magic after I stepped under the bar. Overhead presses didn’t really feel that “hard” but I just couldn’t get the weight up for that 4th rep. @T3hPwnisher any tips?
Conditioning wasn’t really too bad on cardio but really killed my arms. I felt like I was moving as fast as possible, but my muscles didn’t feel like they could keep up with my aerobic capacity.
Also… I made the most amazing post workout brunch:
10 egg whites (I ate 5 of the yolks raw)+ pretty much an entire onion+ some spinach and roasted peppers

Training max is most likely too high. See how the second pressing day of week 3 goes. If you can get all those reps in, I’d still advance the TM for the next 3 week block of the program, and just try as hard as you can to hit the reps on week 6.
