Technically we go through corporate. The CEO is the highest personup there followed by the Vice President. I called and Was directed to the board where I either spoke to the VP or someone else way up there.
So I’ll see how stuff plays out. If anything they’ll transfer me to another store. But I’d like for them to at least talk to the entire HR office at my warehouse
Yeah, it’s usually better if you can resolve this sort of stuff without outside involvement. I don’t know how it is where you live, but here in Ontario you have “the right to refuse unsafe work”. So being told to stay or go into a place filled with dangerous gas would fall under that category. The workplace could get fined or sued, especially since this already happened before and people were hospitalized.

You already did but I would keep taking this higher until it is resolved to your liking. IMO you should be paid for those 2 days you didnt work at minimum.

Today I was called in to work. I suppose someone took the suspensions off of my record. I’ve been noted on my online work account that I’ll get paid for today, not sure about yesterday.

I was contacted yesterday by the VP. Very nice lady. Come to find out she’s pretty much buddy buddy with my mom. I just calmly explained everything to her, and she said she will do whatever is needed to resolve the issue. I wanted to just say fire everyone, but I realize I can’t stay upset forever. I mentioned a warehouse transfer, so I’ll more than likely just get grouped into the warehouse near my mom and a few of college classmates. Since they all work in a nearby warehouse west of mine.

You handled the situation very well Cyber. Very mature. Good stuff.
I hope the VP will take care of this not to happen again.
And on the workout session
Damn girl that sounds like sore quads tomorrow. Well done.

To be honest it’s been a minute since my quads were sore from barbell stuff. I did some body weight squats up in the higher 100s and that actually made me sore. So I’m thinking body weight stuff will have to be cycled in there more often.

This was last week.
Bench
Sticking point work
3in block (use one of my foam block things since that’s all I had laying around)
135x10 2second pause
170 3x1 no pause
Assist
OHP work:
Just the bar, bringing in lats, Head forward, no overarching.
125x5
135x2
140x1 was a bit shaky, so I didn’t count it.
Considering I haven’t really trained the OHP like ever…at least consistently, there’s a crap ton of stuff I’ve noticed that needs work. I’m not being super strict and going with a strict military press. I’m okay having some bounce that comes from a push press.
More than anything my delts really aren’t used to vertical pushing, at all. So it’s more just getting stronger than working the movement.
Smith machine rows: light x30
DB work 25s giant mass of triceps extensions and hammer curls, because I duh…curls lol

The above workout was somewhere last week, the next day after I got sick. I’m talking fever, chills, cold sweats, runny diarrhea, and uncomfortable chest congestion type of sick.
I was thinking maybe light active work would kind of help me sweat it out…nope. Then I went full idiot and tried to train Deads a couple of days ago, very dumb move. I was so trembly and not feeling well, that I couldn’t even load the bar. Plates felt like they were a 1,000lbs. So I went home. Fast forward to today and I’m more or less still shaky and have the chills, but my stomach has calmed down a lot, and food actually has a taste now. Fever went down, and I really wanted to get back in the gym.
Thanks to my loss of appetite, I shed an entire 4-5lbs of who knows what. I’m thinking this training session would be difficult but not so much. So I’m happy about that. At least.

Deads
Warm up: agile 8
Pin lockouts (Squat. Get my hips active) 3/4 squat 135x5, 1/2 squat 225x5
Rack pulls conventional: 225x15
Deadlift sumo:
225x3
275x3
275x3
305x2
Hips and hamstrings seem to not want to activate fully. Letting myself get extremely tight this past year hasn’t helped much, so I’m having to undo a lot of stuff I mostly ignored for the sake of lifting heavy. Figured it’s time to let my stance morph some more. Struggling to find that perfect setup position. Seeing as how it’s not super wide since my hips hog all the work from my hamstrings, and too high puts all the work on my hamstrings without my hips being able to jump in, it’s somewhere close to a squat-type deadlift, but a little wider. On the flip side my upper body has a tendency to dip completely forward, so setting up like a low bar squat position helps. Just barely enough for my fingers to touch my thumb is a good placement.
Assist:
Hamstring curls: AMRAP 35lbs
Compound rows: 225 2x10
Hypers: 2x15 (25lb plate)
Hanging leg raises: 4x10

You can OHP 140lbs? You on that superhero strength time or what? Consider me impressed

For the most part. It’s been noted around here that bench and OHP kind of supplement each other. Well OHP supplements bench, although I’m confident enough the reverse happens as well. For a female and someone of my height my bench is…fairly good. I hadn’t really ever trained the OHP since I started training like ever. Most of what I have been tackling is technique. I presume the strength has been there for however. It’s only showcasing itself because I’m actually learning the OHP cues…properly.

Great work girl. Running endurance is something that improves quickly, you just need to keep doing it and don’t try to go too fast.
