DLicious Training Log 2009

Training
1

quick intro: i’m a 28 year old female who found the beauty of the barbell 2 years ago. i got into it wanting to lose weight and quickly learned heavy lifting makes me uber happy.

i’m 5’6" and usually somewhere between 125-138 lbs. lol (i was 132 this morning)

i spent the 2nd half of 2008 “bulking” and hit a deadlift 1rm of 325 last december.

the first half of this year was spent cutting and trying to get into “bikini shape”. i lost a good 12 lbs or so… and kept my strength pretty well… although i definitely lost a bit (as happens when you lose 10% of ur bodyweight)

then i spent the last two months eating at a mighty big surplus… even if it was mostly nachos and beer. seriously.

i started running coan/philippi 7 weeks ago… and my nutrition was absolutely shit during that time. i’ve porked up a bit but have decided to get my eating habits dialed in again and see if i can hit my dl goal for the year of 350 lbs.

2 months ago i could BARELY pull 305. i put my “end goal” for c/p at 340… and will be happy to get anywhere near that.

so anyways… i have a fitness journal on another site… but figured the 350 lb dl goal would be fun to log in a single place. and with all the kick ass ladies on this site… i decided this would definitely be bueno.

oh yeah and i work out at home and lift completely raw…no belts, straps, etc…

hmmm… that’s all i can think of for now. i’ll copy/paste the first 7 weeks of c/p below. next week i’m sposed to pull 325 for a double. i’m scared shitless and can’t even fathom doing that… but hopefully the last 7 weeks will pay off. =+)

Welcome! I’ll be super interested to follow your deadlift progress. That’s some impressive lifting.

thanks kimba! ur back is amazing. i love it.

yesterday was unilateral leg day. i’m not gonna log my non-dl workouts here… cuz i already do elsewhere. yesterday’s workout involved heavy step ups, rev. lunges, and some push pressing.

i’ve been trying to keep my calories over 2000 a day…and been eating really clean and nailing the macros this week. kept the beer to two blue moons on the evenings of my two heaviest workouts… so only 4 for the week. not too shabby for a holiday weekend.

thought i had some point to this post… but obviously it’s slipped mah mind. lol

today was upper press day with a touch of core work.

finally managed to bench press 140 lbs for a single today. first time since i started cutting early this year. so that made mah day.

i’ve had the goal to start foam rolling on my 2009 to do list and STILL have not managed to even order one… much less start doing it. i really need to get on that.

time to grub!

Awesome bench! Mine is coming slowly. I did manage 105 whilst in Colorado for vacation…

I use the 3’ long, 6" round one, and its even ON SALE. It will hurt you, but in a good way.

P.S. I am a happy camper when I cleanly bench HALF as much weight as you.

lol thanks for the link… but i’m boycotting performbetter since they send me their catalogs to make me drool over there ridiculously priced toys. haha

i’ll probably just buy one when we head to the coast sunday.

i’ve been using some 4" pvc lately. btwn that, a tennis ball, and a softball i’ve been able to get some of mah hot spots rubbed out. i just need to be more diligent. i’ve been bad about mobility/prehab stuff lately too. blush.

hey who cares what you can bench when ya look like that eh!?!? =+)

seriously… just keep at it… results will come. i think it was in ur journal the EGO thing came up… and you just have to learn to feed ur ego with “clean foods”… so get super stoked whenever you are able to do better than yourself… and screw letting it get hungry for being able to do more than others. easier said than done, sure… but really the only thing that matters is that ur making progress. ur doing great… look great… and if you put in the work those big ego feeding numbers will come. i guarantee it. =+D

Hey, thanks! And thanks for the words of support. The iron game is just as much a mental game as a physical one, aye?

And, I really LOVE hearing about big lifts being done by women. There is just not alot of that in my real life.

P.S. If you are already rolling with a PVC pipe, then a foam roller will feel really easy to you.

no prob. yeah there are a lot of components to it… but really it justs comes down to drive n work ethic. if u can muster those up, u can’t lose. and the “iron game” as ya call it is amazingly rewarding. like out of this world rewarding.

yeah since i train alone and don’t know any girls in the area that lift…i NEVER see it in my real life…so i feel ya there.

rollING might be pushing it…but yeah i’ve done it a couple times. nowhere near habitually. it sucks that i hate it. =+)
