hey lady! you look pretty lean to me…and you’re chasing that bench like me too sigh
go for whatever goal you want…but i think though the cardio might not be good while 5/3/1’in it if your goal is to get some strength gains. that seem like a more metabolic workout then a strength gaining one but god knows i’m no expert! i just do whatever makes me feel good for the most part

Hey thanks :)/. Yeah Im 145 and pretty much 5’9. Im happy with my weight and just trying to build more muscle. Im not following 5/3/1 anymore got boring. I am doing Eric cresseys Show and GO program.

But you were hardly chunky… 155 on my frame would look slender as hell and is sorta my goal…getting there 10lbs at a time basically…
. I could never maintain 130 or whatever it is you weigh now, nor have I weighed that since 8th grade? lol[/quote]
Day 6, Heated the crap out of my foot/ultrasound stim for 30 min. Felt almost good as new.
Front Squats 53 135 :). Almost felt like a bad ass today with the 45s on :). tried 140 but felt like my form wasnt right, prob all in my head.
Speed deadlifts @ 50% (5125)
316 db lunges from a deficit. pulled my groin a bit when I lost my balance. WOOPS! sok ice bath after the workout will do the trick.
310pushups with feet on the bench.
ISO Pallofs
TRX rows
Planks 3*45 sec
Foots starting to feel better. Did 15 min on bike today, 20 sec hard, 40 sec easy.
Does anyone else think its incredibly mean that when you loose weight it can come from your boobs too? So either be 160 with better boobs, or 145 and little boobs. Ridic. Mother nature you suck.
Bike interval 15 minutes 20 on 40 off.
Tried to do rowing interval but the machine was broken…so I did a “death interval”
Did this 5 times, wanted to do 10 but i had to get to work early…
3 Chinups (small black band)- Chin ups are def getting better. was able to do each chin up with the lightest band we have from a dead hang ! No cheating!
30 sec planks
6 Push ups - also getting better
30 sec rest.
So I had to take an unanticipated day off from show and go due to a great opportunity to work with/treat/help out Sasha Cohen Olympic figure skater. crazy experience, shes very cool and nice.
I am an athletic trainer, worked on loosening up muscles. Apparently ice skaters get very knotted up in the low back/glut/calves. interesting fact their landing leg ( esp calf) is usually much more developed then the other.
Note: Deep tissue work is a workout in it self! (literally sweating).
Also I just got back from seeing riverdance on ice (thanks to sasha for the tickets!)

OK, sorry for the hijack but I have, umm, strong feelings for her. What were you working on with her?
So Finished 4 weeks!!! crazy aint it! we decided to do week 4 again next week since none of us have time to workout together next week, so we didnt want to start the new phase yet.
So last week i did squats 145 for 4 (yea big girl weights!!)…which is awesome considering 145 was my max earlier this summer. (1RM 160 ish)
Deadlifts 155 for 5 felt really good. def need to work on the grip strength again.(this was after squatting, so ill have to try again next time fresh). ( 1Rm 180 ish)
Bench seems to have stalled yet again, but atleast it got alittle better 90 for 3 no help. 95 for 3 with a little bit of help.
lunges are getting much easier, and pullups as well.
I will have to update on phase 2 next week, once we figure out the new lifts etc.
anyone tell you to try chalk for your grip? It was a discovery for me as well as many other people around these parts. If you hang in a commercial gym (as I do) carry it in a ziplock bag and be mindful of the mess and they won’t complain.
You can get liquid chalk that is easier to apply. Personally I carry around a big block in an ice cream tub. No one at my gym cares about mess, fortunately.
Ill have to look in to getting some chalk…or stealing some from the track team where i work :).
CONGRATS TO ME PR’d today!!!
SQUAT 150 for 3!!! (my previously tested 1RM was 145 :). Thanks in part to my lifting partner who told me to stop being a quitter! lol.
Dear bench press, i hate you…you never get better and when you do the next week its like that never happened! F* you BENCH PRESS!!! did 90 for 3 and did 95 for 1 and half (half being I got stuck under the bar and had to roll it off myself…very uncomfortable…FUCk.
So obvi bench press day, i also did the cardio day, which ended up being me running sprints across our basketball court because it was pouring rain and freezing. Did 16* the basketball court sprints. Whatever that is…Legs are tired…but happy I did it.
Deadlift day tomorrow
Included picture of angels landing pretty damn good hike…
