brute- I’ve been giving it my all… sometimes. I really, really haven’t been acting as though I love lifting. I don’t want to be one of those people who say and not do. so I’m working on the do.
veg- insane is the correct word, fo sho!
n8- mebbe i need one of those call buttons the elderly have… help, i’ve stretched and i can’t get up!
pegg- if someone pulls you out it means they’ve dropped the camera. and i kill them.

Ted giggled at me and so did Pegg. Took me a few min and Pegg’s efforts at rubbing blood and life back into me, but i managed to stand. eek.

A suggestion for draping over something to stretch. Try using a swiss ball. If you get stuck, you can just roll off. (probably won’t be able to do @ EFS… doubt they have pussy shit like swiss balls laying around)
I’m serious, we instruct patients to do this at home to help decompress their lumbar spine. If you roll forward enough you get a good, deep stretch. Really works, really simple.

Now right thar is a helpful tip, ain’t it??
veg- actually, they have a handful of swiss balls layin around. in a corner. but damn, no matter what i do, i think i wont do it for that long anymore. owie!
n8- yeah, that vegetarian IS good for somethin. who knew? 
alrighty, i went and trained at the local like a good girl.
did MP’s to try to make up for my awful bench on monday.
x3, worked up to 105. got 2.5… #3 was definitely a push press.
after 95, when i loaded the bar for 105, i walked halfway (short way) across the gym to get my belt and check my phone… i came back and 2 kids who had been lifting in the smith next to the power rack were unloading my bar. i took out an earbud and very sweetly said, “WHAT the fuck are you doing?” -oh, were you using this? “yeah, i’d just loaded the plates. you watched me do it.” -oh. ok.
then he tried to curl it back up to my chest level, where the pins were, and his buddy tried to help by lifting one end and almost dumping it on the floor.
so after i got my 105 i went down to 65 and did 10, just to make myself feel better.
then, some pullups with the green band
then, tricep pressdowns with a rope 3x20, superset with facepulls, 3x15
weighted crunches, 3x15 10lbs on chest
seated calf raises, 1 plate, 3x10, hold at top of 10 for alap.
i think that was it. i may be forgetting something.
now i’m tryin to finish my Surge with arby’s sitting right next to me, doin research for just one of the papers i hafta do.

I was doing step ups a few weeks ago and this douche that constantly steals and hoards equipment to do the same workout every day took my plyo box. I had walked off for a second and left my stuff on the box, he took it anyway and a box a trainer was using with her client. This 6 foot tall guy needed them both so that he could have fucking steps up to the pullup station.
The trainer told me she asked for the one she was using back and he said no. So I walked over with a huge smile and with my sweet little disney princess voice i told him that he took the box I was using and that I had another set so I was taking it back to finish it up and I would be right back with it. Walked off with the box before he could even respond and he just stared with disbelief. I put it back when I was done and told him to have a good workout.
Being sweet really does work.
