You’ve got a great attitude Malinda.

Any change effects your body so I’m glad your not too disappointed in your squats today. Like Claire said, you’ll bounce right back when you become adjusted to the new hours.

c.

oh, and nice job on the weight loss!! [/quote]

Thanks C.

I hope to adjust quickly – don’t like having bad workouts ;). It really sucks this close to the dang meet.

Not bad for a training shirt with 5 more bench training sessions left ;). IT is amazing what you can do after ya get some sleep…

Malinda,
Sorry to hear your schedule’s all jakked up. I can definitely sympathize with you in terms of how that affects training.

But, I know you…you’ll find a way to persevere and work your way through this.

Stay strong!
-Dan

Great job on your bench:)

Claire

Thanks Dan.

It is gonna be tough. We made 13 calls yesterday – 4 or so after 10 last night. So again not much sleep - until today and that is about all I have done since I got home ;). I will figure it out, just gonna take time. Next shift we get to pack up and move into the trailor – they will be tearing down our station in about a week to build a new one. So, we will live in a trailor for the next year… but it is supposed to be nicer for us.

Malinda

Thanks Claire…

needed a good training session.

I like sleep…

Great job on the squats. Glad you were able to get some sleep.

Claire

Your going to host a meet?
I’d love to see you guys compete, but Texas is far away…
Glad you got some sleep. They better make sure that you guys get a very nice trailer.

Yea, I think I heard something about that February meet…
:wink:

Sleep likes you…

Good Squattin!

c.

Great squatting Malinda, glad you were able to get the sleep you need.

Hope that trainer is big enough for you all to roam around in :slight_smile:

Still not to late C.

Thanks Sick Puppy – and no the trailer won’t be big enough, but it will have to do. The only good thing is that there are 3 seperate showers and toilets :wink: So I don’t have to lock everyone out or wait as long to take a shower now.

HOLY CRAP!!

What the heck did you lift for 365 with just a belt? Even if it was the deadlift, that’s damn impressive.

c.

maybe next february :slight_smile:

Geez did I ever mention that I am impressed every time I read your log. That is a shit load of weight.
Diana

My thoughts exactly C…“Holy crap, Malinda!”
365 without the suit, thats awesome. Do you normally go that high without it? If not, what got you all fired up to go for it raw?

Nice work
G

Thanks guys. I was alittle mad at the time. Kinda worn out too tho.

Most I have ever done raw is 365 at a meet. I was pissed off after having put the dang suit on – it took about 30 minutes to get into it – not being able to do a dang thing in it… I am sure I will feel it today tho…

Wow! 365lb with just a belt is amazing:) Was it a new suit that you were having problems with?

Both your bench and squat workout looked awesome!!!

Claire

I have to echo everyone else’s “HOLY CRAP!” The weights you lift are awe-inspiring and I’ve actually been lurking and reading your log for a while–you impress and inspire me.
