Awesome that you are doing the Show and Go program. I want to how you do after! If you can post your vertical and 40 time that would be an interesting way to see the “athletic” progress. =)
Sumo deads…2(165 for 2) and 2(164 for 4).
nice win
Soooo Phase 3 is def kicking my ass…Between the Overhead squats, clap pushups, Single leg after single leg exercise ive been sore from every single workout…esp. day 1 and day 4. Will update more later. Happy holidays!!
Just Finish Phase 3 Week 2, WOW…Sore…Very Sore…and full of holiday food! lol. anyway, I just looked at my post form October 5th and realized that Ive increased my Squat by 20 pounds in 2 months? Does that sound right? Anyway Holiday weight is 151 YUCKo, cant wait to get back into the swing of working/working out and not having time to eat Snacks and crappy food when im bored.
New fav exercise…Trap bar deads…makes deadlifting feel like a breeze, the tush is lookin nice lol. Anyway, How many of you (women)get interrupted every time they workout by older men amazed at what your doing…while they do their bicep curls one set every 15 minutes. Well im back home yay, I def wont miss working out at a public gym…gotta love having a weight room all to myself and 10 platforms to choose from (no sharing :)).
Phase 3 week 3 starts tomorrow…WOOP! thinking of adding some swimming aerobic work maybe once a week…would be nice to get back into the pool!
Happy Holidays

Soooo Floor Press, 90 for 3 was pretty good . Pull ups are still EHH…I think i was about 10 pounds lighter the would be simple…thats frustrating! Wood chops are awesome…def feel the back/core etc getting really strong. Anyway, TRAP BAR TOMORROW
Anyone have any input on makeing overhead squat easier? I cant get the weight heavy enough to feel it in my legs. My shoulders arent strong enough to squat the weight I want to .
Example:
I can front squat 165
I can Over head squat 75 ish UGH!
Is this normal?
It sounds like you have a much stronger lower body than upper. Join the club. Having a strong OHP and flat bench are tough for many of us, especially if you’re long and lean and tend to carry more mass in the lower half. And since you have to press the bar overhead to do an overhead squat, the press will be the limiting factor in terms of how much weight you can manage.
Started Phase 4 week 1 yesterday. It seems like a combination of the last 3 phases. Which i kinda of like because we are getting back to front squatting and benching and im noticing increases in numbers. will do cardio tomorrow.
Soooo…got 165 on the front squat this week…tried 170…not there yet…try again next week. Deadlifts are good, def feeling that the hip drives from the speed deadlifts are helping my regular deadlifts. Chinups are getting easier as well. WOOP
Deadlift PR 190 ! :)WOOP!!!
Bench PR 105!! From 95 before show and go
feeling like a fat kid lately…Im in need of some Interval training and circuits. So I just started the program in “how to lift like a man and look like a women…Etc”. Defiantly making me sweat! Day 3 and a random circuit day make me feel like my body was falling apart… Prob the Front squat/push press talking. YIKES… only 65 pounds and my trap/arms/legs are going to fall off.
OFF day tomorrow and Day 4 on wed.
Spring break is coming up and I’m trying to be good…
Hey All, Been a while since Ive had time to post! About a week before spring break in march, I pushed myself too hard, decided to get back on 5/3/1 and started the day after doing a random deadlift day. Did last set of 160 for reps (using straps). Being an idiot i pushed myself too hard and did 9 reps. anyway after Ive never felt my back soo tight before. NOT GOOD. Anyway started having PSIS pain and pain while driving. After spring break I started going to a chiropractor which just made it worse. shoot pain into my legs.
Anyway have been seeing a ART/graston guy for 3 weeks. Feel pretty good. Pool workouts for the last 4 weeks. Def not as much as I would like considering there is only 2 hours a day the pool is open. Anyway, Im excited to get back into it but afraid ill do too much at once. So Im keeping up with my rehab, roam rolling and mackenzie extensions.
Obviously staying away from Deadlifts from now on. only trap bar…eventually.
Anyone ever had a problem like this? How did it turn out?

I have one hammie that has been an ongoing problem for several years. Consequently, I don’t do high reps with DL – never more than five. I, too, have seen an ART practitioner for pain relief. He works it and has given me some stretches to relieve the pain. I do find that driving for long periods really exacerbates it. I have heard that putting a tennis ball or such under the lower glute and rolling on it while driving can relieve this somewhat.
Unfortunately, my experience is that it is a somewhat chronic problem.
