Greeny had the biggest ear-to-ear grin i’ve ever seen:) It was adorable.
I’m really proud of her.[/quote]
Heh, I get that look too.
All the big dudes in the gym must be like “She’s happy for doing 105 bench. Whoop-dee-fucking-do.”

Heh, I’ll be that they don’t even care. Guys just like females in the weight room with them.
Any female benching more than just a bar is one of a kind to them.
If they had a nickel for every girl putting 2.5# plates on the bench, doing 20 reps, they’d be able to buy a 1-year gym membership.

I can pretty much guarantee that NOBODY is thinking that with either of you ladies.
I’m sure they’re thinking of other, better things than that.
Greeney, awesome work in here! PRs plus weight loss = total win!
Thanx, Kimba!
At least I’m not afraid of being the only girl in there now. I’ve only gone by myself once, but I’m pretty sure that will change when I get a job.
On to the training!
Sumo DL: 5 x 65, 4 x 75 x 2. For some reason I didn’t check my notes so thought I only did 3 x 75 last time and did only 4 x 75 this time thinking it was 1 rep better than last time. Apparently I did 5 x 75 my first time doing Sumo DLs. 
That’ll teach me to think my memory is better than my notes!
Wide-Grip Pulldowns: 5 x 70, 10 x 80 x 2.
Seated Rows: 10 x 40, 10 x 60 x 2.
Facepulls: 6 x 20, 12 x 40.
Nice work Greens. I’m sure your back will feel sufficiently dominated, regardless of your memory/note taking skills
Thanx, Ink!!!
1/2 Squats:
5 x Bar
5 x 65
5 x 95
5 x 115
5 x 135 <—1 plate!!! IH said these looked like cake for me. I felt awesome!
Full Squats: 5 x 115 <— PR
Calf Raises: 2 sets of 8 x 40
Sitting Calf Raises: 2 sets of 8 x 70.
Congrats for getting 2 plates on the bar and the deep squat PR
your a natural!
Nikki, I never know if it’s one plate, because it’s one plate per side, or 2 plates because it’s one plate per side.
MiM, Thanx! That means a lot coming from you!
So, today was Bench Day and I pulled an Ink while doing my inclines. First, I miscounted the plates and added two 5s instead of two 2.5s, so the bar had 75 lbs instead of 70 lbs on it. Second, I totally failed on rep 2 and had to roll the bar down my body. This wouldn’t have been a problem except I was at the incline bench and couldn’t roll the bar all they way off my body due to the uprightness of the seat. I caught IH’s eye in the mirror and he rescued me.
Incline BB Press:
5 x Bar
6 x 65 <—PR!!
6 x 65
1 x 75
3 x 70 <—PR!!
Bench:
5 x Bar
10 x 65 <—I tried this again to make sure last time wasn’t a fluke. It wasn’t!
3 x 75
2 x 80 <—PR!!! I did 1 x 80 once, a LONG time ago, when IH was putting my first program together and was testing to see what exactly I could do. This felt great!
DB Bicep Curls:
5 x 15
3 x 20
3 x 20
Tricep Extensions:
10 x 20
12 x 30
12 x 30
Cable Crunches: 2 sets of 20 x 50
We went slightly earlier today so we could get in a full workout and not be rushed. We’re going to try and do that more often and make it stick.
Dark Chocolate FINIbars are awesome! We got our shipment today and I tried one when we got home from the gym, and they taste great! Even IH was like “These taste fucking awesome!”
wow it’s raining PR’s in here
You stalkin me Greeny? Maybe next time I’l hold out and see if IH comes to MY rescue
Great job on all those PR’s, that’s fantastic!!
Thanx N! I think it’s because I’ve gotten back to having my protein shakes after training and eating a “little” bit better. When I stopped that, I stopped progressing. I just wish I could have better breakfasts, with bare minimum preperation and without resorting to oatmeal or eggs, both of which I don’t like.
Ink, LOL…no, but I immediately thought of you when it happened.
1- throw a scoop of protein in “healthy” cereal. There are some that are better than other. I buy ancient grains as a treat on weekends.
2- a healthy bar
3- toast with a shake
Cottage cheese n fruit!
Thats my fave…
But I’ve also eaten salmon and asparagus for breakfast, haha… Breakfast doesn’t have to be breakfast-y…although I’m not much of a morning eater…more of a coffee person and something small…
Greeney, you are coming after me on those bench PRs. I predict you’ll be beating me very soon. Nice job!
Thanx, Kimba! I do think of you every Bench Day!
Sumo DL:
5 x 65
2 x 85
2 x 85
2 x 95
2 x 95
These are now where my conventional DLs were when I switched to sumo. I have to say I still like sumo better.
Supersetted:
Wide-Grip Pulldowns: 5 x 70, 10 x 80, 10 x 80
Seated Rows: 5 x 40, 10 x 60, 10 x 60
This was awesome. My upper arms were tired afterward but my upper back (scapula?) felt great! I felt like I actually worked those muscles. I might have to do this again.
Facepulls: 5 x 20, 12 x 40, 12 x 40
