damnit, you’re strong!!
Thanks.
Like I said I am shooting for a 300 deadlift at 132.
What works me for is to deadlift low and few reps…and maybe using chains or bands. The plan for this week is 135 for singles…then the following week do my opener then stop deadlifting until the meet Dec 5th
My last PR was Oct 31 for 292lbs…prior to that I was not deadlifting heavy at all. So I am sticking to this plan for now.
now cutting weight during Thanksgiving is gonna be a bitch.
AND and I dont know about some you ladies…but I am an emotional eater. I struggle with eating. It sux! hahahaha
why not just enjoy the day? 
20 mins on treadmill various speeds
3 sets of 10 bench press 95-lbs , deadlift-135, and squats-95lbs
I shall do my lifts later. This morning was all about cardio and getting my heart rate up.
It takes a long time… once I did the bench press it was going!
workout 2:
squats
box + bands
4 sets of 3 135lbs
4 sets of 3 155lbs
leg press
3 set of 8
4 plates on each side
10 mins of jump rope
10 mins of sprints
I feel pretty good. I like endorphins!
20 mins on treadmill various speeds
10 mins on jump rope and 15 pushups. Everytime I messed up on rope, I did five pushups.
“Everytime I messed up on rope, I did five pushups”
Self torture… I like it.
Well saturday was a full body workout.
-bench/squat/deadlfit
light weight 3 sets of 10 each

The diet is not doing great. I have been eating too much…perhaps more on the binge eating side. Actually this is the longest binge I have had…about a week now. I think it will subside this week since I have to enter the meet this Sat (and the whole PMS/holiday eats business will be done with). Looks like I won’t make the 132 class, but that is okay. I almost decided not to compete, but then I thought I was being too hard/cruel on myself if I made that decision. I mean I have only been powerlifting since April/May of this year. Overall, I say I am doing pretty good!
I am always about 8-10 lbs away from my goal—135lbs
I will get there one day
you are doing great-don’t be so hard on yourself and i’m glad you didn’t quit!
if i may ask, how tall are you? i’m almost 5’ 5" and i dream of being 135…coincidentally 8-10 lbs to go for me as well. we both will get there one day!
you say enter the meet this sat, does that mean compete this sat? best of luck to you!
yeah this Saturday…I am also making it a mini vacation
I am five feet tall. I have a stalky/short build
size 3/4
Lo, the almighty 135.
Good luck on your meet Jane!!! I’ll be thinking about you, Those other girls ain’t got nothin’ on YOU!!!
openers
squat 200lbs
deadlift 250lbs
bench 130 lbs
more or less, plates are measured in KG’s
Good luck!

Hey you!!! What you up to??? I do kinda follow your journal…come on over!
Jane… Your second meet and the second time you do this… I come on over all curios, and even check your log before my work email to see how you did… and NOTHING, I wait a couple days, come back, to see how you did and NOTHING!!! Boo HISSS…
I know you said you were taking a mini vacation after the meet, but it’s Wednesday, and enquiringly minds want to know, I want to know!
Well okay here it goes!
This meet I had fun but the lifts were not great. I have lifted more at the gym on a random day than I did at this meet.
Squat: got one in at 185 I believe
Bench:–just over 100lbs
Deadlift: 283 failed the 303 attempt
overall I got 4 lifts out of 9! This was the worse meet as far as my own personal preformance goes. The event was awesome! The AAU does a real a good job!
I am planning some meets this year. My goals are to compete more and drop a class! I did horrbile, but I have just started it was my third meet! I figure if this one was the worse the next cannot not be that bad
weight class: 148–boooo
Okay explain to me how you seated OHP and french press 10x95 but benched 100??
Don’t worry Janie, you’ll get em next time!
Hey…I am thinking the same thing. what makes me mad too is I box squat 225lbs…yet I squated under 200
AND this pissed me off so much…
DEADLIFT!!! WHY IS IT THAT I CAN DEADLFIT 292 YET I MISSED THE 303 DEAD!!!
I hate failing!!! HATE IT!!
I felt retarded when I benched…the bar never got off my chest!
Don’t feel too bad. I am also a better gym performer by a mile than on the platform. A 292 DL raw is great, I did the same in a single ply at my last meet. For every meet you do, you’ll learn stuff and get better.
