Pixie: I DUNNO MAN. All the DUDES I’ve met from this place have been totally whack job. I like their equipment too, but I wish I could find someone with better emotional stability because I also don’t want to date A WOMAN! GAH!
Cal: I totally prefer older guys myself. AND oddly enough, it seems to be all that the youngins do is drink, then brag about how much they drank, then bitch about being hungover. With young dudes, a lotta them seem to lack drive and passion for things, ya know??? I dunno. I’m really not picky, but I do not like it when people lack a real drive for somethin’.
Mom in MD: I dunno what I like to be honest! Our weather really sucks here so outdoorsy type things can only happen about 4 months outta the year, loL. I suppose I could use all my non gym time to do my homework, that seems rational.
2busy: WE DOn’t mean you!! You’re obviously a non-douche.
Hallowed: nooooOOOo, do not find him attractive at ALL anymore. I actually think he’s the reason I am disgusted by sex, HA-ha! We had a few night stands and his attitude about everything left me feeling very bitter. I’m not a man hater or anything, maybe I’m just fed up/pissed off/tired of shitty guys being in my life.
Though, that doesn’t explain why I am not still turned on by sexy movie guys… hmm.
okayokayoKAY! SOOO excited here people!!! I feel so happy/relieved that I have an actual program written down again! Yippie! I thought it would give me anxiety, but it actually makes me feel so much better knowing what I am going to be doing at the gym for this entire week. I am excited to be normal, HAHA (semi)
3x5 squat dayyyy
OH and I totally underestimated my rep maxes becuase A) you’re supposed to and B) I don’t want to stall or have to re set my maxes for a really long time.
mMKAY
squatting
90x5
95x5
110x13
then I went back and did 95x16 cause jim says you can do that, ha
At first I was like, gah, I am wEAAAk, BUT hey, squatting 13 reps of somethin’ that’s about 6lbs from your body weight ain’t half bad to get things going!
Front squats uhh
65x8
75x6
85x6
75x11
God those are hard, damn you hamstring domanince
uhh drop sets of leg extensions, then some leg press, some calf shit, heavy prowler pushes and FINNNISHED.
Felt perfect, not to much, not too little, juuusst right.
Looking forward to benching tomorrow, ohhhh yes.
Okay and here is a random song I like. Big thanks to DF for explaining how to do this, HhaA. So simple…
Spock- I’d say you’re not turned on by sexy movie guys because your subconscious hates men right now due to the current man in your life… just a thought.
I remember awhile ago, I couldn’t stand men of any kind even the sexy movie men. It was because of the “person” I had been dealing with. DROPPED IT, and BAM! hello libdo and my love of men (a certain man) returned

Ahahahaha! “Person” in quotations. Love it!
Spock AFTER YOUR EXPLAIN NOTHING to worry about (um random cap locks sorry) carry on!

Welcome to the PW section, sounds like you are fitting in well. Agree w/DF, too much and you may be eating your muscle for energy. [/quote]
AHhHh welcome to my log ! You are like my Laura Phelps in shining armor. Yeppers, peeped into your log many a times. You are one hELLA strong lady. [/quote]
No, you didn’t ! Compare me to my idol? Whoop Whoop, wait til I tell her…You MADE my DAY, WEEK, uh, YEAR??
Yeah buddy! Squat day looks good, mama! Nice work.
And yeah, I can’t live without a program. Its kinda my MO. It’s actually very annoying!
I think your week looks good. I’m doing something similar 4 days lifting, 2 days cardio-esque type stuff and 1 day off. I usually use my off days as a “cheat day.” That’s probably not the best way to do it, but for me its go big or go home on all fronts, even rest days. knowwhatimean?
Anyways, good stuff, girlie!
And forget that noise! I think the quote goes, “you should be your own best friend, not fuck yourself in the head with stupid men” You’ll get yours when your good and ready
HA-HA, uh oh. I don’t want dudes afraid to come to my log cause they think it will be a bitchin’ about men lullapullooozza ← I don’t know what that means.
Merrysailor: HELLO! I’m sure you’re right. Though, I would think that I should still be able to become aroused by all the awesomeness in Die Hard. All them guns/sweaty shootin’ dudes/bruce willis = my wildest dreams.
lil power: YEAH, she is totally my idol too. I can remember back when I was so obsessed with powerlifting, I would watch her on youtube before all of my workouts. It was like MMKAY today is DL day so I must watch Laura and her perfect sumo stance, pullin’ like a beast, but lookin’ like a lady. LOVE HER!
Masch: OMG A CHEAT DAY!! That is the most helpful day off advice ever. ! PLAn it like a cheat, yahh! Never thought of that before. I love planning and anticipating stuff. If I make it seem like something to anticipate because it’s a “cheat” maybe I’ll actually look forward to it, Lol.
kpsnap: WELL, uhh yeah, I reckon’ that would make a slight difference, heh. Actually, it would be nice to workout near any guy that wasn’t a complete creepo. I never really workout near people my age. It’s typcially 80 year olds, weird asian dudes (sorry), doing these like pelvic thrust thingies and hoarking up weird spitty, garggly, UCK. And the short flowy short runner dudes. Why nobody good lift weights there?? WHYYY!!!
WOW, does anyone else get excited to come home just so they can post their lift numbers in their logs? Heh. Moi=nerd.
3x5 bench day !!
uhm
70x5
85x5
95x9
then back down to 85x13
Happy with that, yes indeedy. Lot of pausing as well. Tried to pause as many reps as I could. Sometimes it was just a matter of forgetting though. Like WHOOPS, shoulda paused that one! Ah well. PAUSEPAUSEPUASE
uhh Nothing else I did was interesting
3 sets of 5 dips
some boring tricep stuff/pec fly stuff. NG DB bench stuff, yadda yadda.
Excited about wednesday DL dayyy. MAN it is gonna feel good to put on my chucks and break off some chalk. Effing, right on!
Do ya’ll think 9 reps for my first wave on my 5 rep day is still high enough to keep truckin’ before a reset for a while? It wasn’t 13 like my 5 rep squat day. Ohhh looky, I’m being obsessive, STOP IT!
Okay nothing else to report.
I am stressed about school. I’m taking Deaf Culture right now (en route to becoming a sign language interpreter), and I might have to go on the NEWS to talk about this film our class is organizing about a Deaf UFC fighter.
Why can’t I just stand off camera and hold cue cards? I blush.
Meaning I get so red my head looks like it’s about to explode and I start to drip sweat.

K BYE![/quote]
9 reps is solid for the 5 week. Keep up the good work.
A strategy you could employ is to pause the first rep for a long pause, then attack the rest of the reps with a vengeance.
Best of luck with the tv interview!
