Thanks Cal…
Thanks Cho!
Had a pretty good weekend. Last minute we decided to go to the Amusement park along with the thousands of others that decided to go as well. But it was perfect weather…kids had a blast and we had fun even though we didn’t get to ride roller coasters.
I ate something bad or I came down with some kind of stomach bug. It hit me at about 7pm Sat night and lasted all day yesterday. The ride home on Saturday was interesting to say the least.
I’m over it and ready to hit the gym. I’ve been wanting to try DLs and see how they do on the knees…so that’s where I’m off to!
Ah, which park was that? (Maybe it was the park food that upset your stomach, heh). Good luck with the deadlifting.
It was Busch Gardens!
I’m glad we went because we were going to go this coming weekend. Just so happens though the hubby forgot he was taking our son camping with the boy scouts.
All I had at the park was a really large salad and two small slices of cheese pizza. After that I was full the rest of the day and couldn’t have other junk even if I wanted cause my tummy started to hurt. Aw man, I really wanted one of those big turkey drumsticks too! darn.
Training:
Rope face pulls, then to chest–3x10
T bar row- 4x12
**hypers- 3x12
Low cable row- 4x10
DLs- 3x5x135–felt heeeeavy, felt like cardio!!..but that’s what happens when you don’t do it for a few months. A little twinge on the left knee…but doable. May be better with sleeves from now on when I attempt any kind of involvement with the quads.
GMs- 3x12
**GG/BG- 3x12
Glute bridges- shoulders on bench- 3x10- yeeeeah buddy!!
Hypers- 3x8x25lb plate
**shrugs- 3x10- 35lb kbs
Biked
Treadmilled
Yeah Buddy!!
I just did those glute bridges of the bench last week - usually I do them on the floor.
glad you are keeping on MinM nice work
I just started back on the DL’s myself last week, I’ve been given a slight variation and they feel funny.
really like the bridges with the shoulders on bench!!! Greater ROM, I think.
2 breakfast fails…normally I don’t eat breakfast but was really really hungry and knew I couldn’t ignore it through the gym.
Decided to mix my protein powder with my oat bran…FAIL.
And then I grabbed my shaker cup which was still warm from the dishwasher…so of course the water+pp was warm but I chugged it down anyway, nearly vomiting.
Ohhh I did glute bridges one time and they burnnnnnnnn so bad! Probably why I only did them once lol. Does your gym have a trap bar for DL’s or just a regular straight bar? That could be an option that might not hurt your knee?
lol @ the warm shaker story! I could totally picture it in my head hahahaha way to power through
yep, I did the trap bar last week…not too shabby. Gonna try out my knee sleeves next time though.
warm water protein was deeeesgusting. 
Training:

whats your shoulder prehab?
ooh! Forgot to mention I tried rear delt flies with the cables. I think I like.
always looking for new things to try…keeps it interesting.
Yeah, I always put ice in my protein at home. At school we have a machine that dispenses boiling or freezing water so that does the job too. I couldn’t drink it room temp. Ugh.
Love glute burn feeling!! Waste of time on floor for me, need the shoulders up.
Training is kicked up and your energy seems to be too!
Warmish isn’t bad if you actually blender the PP, in a shaker it’s eeewwww.
