Bad dream news:
I had this awful dream that gym boy was having sex with me and during he was all like “by the way, you’re NOT spending that night”
I was like
“I KNOW”
But inside the PAIN THE HEARTACHE AHH.
Sub concious was telling me I DO NOT want to be a wham bam thank you ma’am girl. I must run from this situation to avoid horrible painful heartbreakage.
I will find a new boy who will like me and who will chase me.
Maybe…
I should get a shirt that says “COME AND GET IT!”
OR something…
Life news: uMMmM…ya BYE
POSTING OFFICIAL LUCKY LIFTING T-SHIRT
EDIT: HMM IT’s not there… Will try again…
TESTING
K GIVING UP
BYE
I would be careful trying to read too much into dreams.
If your deadlift was slow off the floor and speedy at lockout, you may want to bring up your quad strength. Front squats, deficit deads, and/or trap bar deads would be what I would try. Maybe also try paused front squats.
It looks to me like all of your assistance on your squat/DL days is posterior-chain based (hammies, glutes, low back) and not much for your quads. I personally like front squatting after deads.

HMMmM! Intersting. I always thought I had weak hamstrings so I do a million things for them and nothing for my quads, loL.
WILL WORK ON THIS.

What kind of progression are you using for your bench, Spock?

UM WELL, don’t get mad…
NOTHING.
YAYA i know it’s a bad idea, following a program is best yadda yadda.
I just go to the gym and try to lift heavy shit and then I come home…
Everytime I try to follow a program if I have ONE bad workout my brain goes haywire and I have to change every single aspect of my life to feel like I have righted the wrongs, or something…
K so today was a bad day in Jenn’s world.
I couldn’t fall asleep last night because I kept insulting myself in my brain, most likely due to bench press failure. I wish that my self-love wasn’t so conditional.
SO ya I got like no sleep and me and my kid got in this fight cause he never wants to leave the house and I feel trapped all the time cause I like being busy and I dunno. I wish he was into more “stuff”. Stuff aside from plants VS zombies. He complains if I make him go ANYWHERE> Like even fun places. One time he cried cause I wanted to take him to toys R us…
I was just tired and depressed and ya so we fought and I cried which I hate HATE doing in front of him cause I think it will like give him bad memories for when he’s older like…
One time I made my mommy CRY and she kept CRYING and it was just AWFUL and now I am scarred 4 EVA>>>>>>>>
Um so then I went out and bought a new guitar.
It’s black and it’s really pretty.
I still remember how to play like every single intro to every single white stripes song in the history of the world. ! YAYh
It was kinda funny carrying a huge guitar box in one hand and this heavy ass amp in my other hand down the street. It felt like my arm was gonna fall off.
My kid was worn out from having to carry my wallet, LOL.
So we apologized N shit and I guess things are okay again.
UM YES squatting today felt pretty good despite still being sore.

ALL squatted OUT bro’s!
Squatting gave me a real bad headache today. Grumpy face was in full effect
Leg ext. 4 x 8 90lbs or whatever
leg lifts 2 x 25
Good workout so my world makes sense again. I hate feeling like I haven’t given my all. It’s weird though, cause like, I could be trying super hard and then miss a lift and I’ll feel like I missed it cause I was being lazy or something. That’s sorta illogical.
Whatever. I have accepted my irrational way of thinking many moons ago.
Like when I was trying to make up class lists for all my barbie dolls and shit just wasn’t addin’ up cause I had kim in social and drama at the same time and nothing seemed to work OUT. AHHhHHh.
I don’t know what that had to do with anything.
BYE!

Good news: My powerlifting competition got moved to Dec. 1st so I have wayYYy more time to get Chuck V strong ya’ll. YAHH
Though I am sure Chuck V is on an actual program and knows what he’s doing for the most part :/.
life news:
My parents have my kid tonight so I am going to do a disgusting amount of ass-sittary and sleep in until like 8:05!!! Tomorrow mornin’
Anton Chigurh AKA Javier Bardem is going to be in the new bond movie!! YAY HE IS THE BEST BADDIE EVAHH.
I wish it was just a re release of No COuntry for Old Men, but this will have to do!
BYE
SUpa good day today!
Box squat
135 x 5
155 x 5
165 x 3
175 x 3
185 x 1
185 x 1
K so I feel stronger box squattin than regular squatting. This means _______?? My knees dont cave and my core doesn’t crumble when I box squat? It’s probably not as deep (still below paralleL), but the whole thing just feels better. HmMmM. It was enjoyable anyway.
OH ALSO this is all sans belt, so ya, strong ER this way.
Speedy free squats
125lbs x 10 sets of 3 supa short rests.
sumo stance good mornings embarrassing weight 2 x 10
I really have to make an effort to do this more since I suck at it so much.
Honestly, I’m always wondering what my weakest link is. Tryin’ to figure out quads VS hamstrings, or back, whateveskies. It’s most likely just my stupid weak core.
I think having a kid can totally ruin your core. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED for those of you planning on carrying a child in yerr womb…
I need more fun core shit. I do the same 5 things.
I had to cut out ab wheel roll outs cause it like totally fucked up my shoulder, ya. True story. I’m not one of those whiney peeps that says they don’t squat cause it hurts their knees or whatever. Ab wheel roll out really wonked up my shoulder for like a week +++.
UMM did I do anything else… YES
Hanging leg raises 3 x 10
My worksouts feel way more relaxing now than they used to.
Few ideals:
PM workouts=less cortisol=calmer me
I am content with where my lifts are at right now so all my workouts don’t feel like they’re gonna make me or break me.
Content but never fully satisifed. I hope I always feel like this.
Adding 5 lbs to something makes me thrilled, but not adding 5 lbs doesn’t make me want to kill myself, Lol.
SO YA I DUNNO. Not much else to say.
Life news:
I had a dream I was being raped by a zombie, HAHA.
Worst part was I was really turned on, gah. My sub concious is a fuckIN PERV.
Guitar news:
I think i am going to practice shit up and do a jack white tribute concert. My kid can be the camera man (think martin Scorsese filming that rolling stones concert for the shine a light movie) ya.
I need to get a hat for it, maybe. LEGIT. TO LEGIT TO QUIT I AM.
UHH SEE YA
Dec 1 is so far away. I have two meets before then 
It might mean you’re actually using your posterior chain. Or just using it better. And that it’s less deep. But ya, are you sitting back back back like you’re supposed to?
Alsooo, I bought an acoustic (Gibson) two years ago (more even) that I never ever learned to play. Teach me?

I would gladly teach you, but I suck. A lot.
A lot alot alotttttttttt.
It’s weird how Jack white is so awesome-sauce, but his stuff is fairly simple.
It’s all 3 5’s and 7’5s. Hmm it’s like
5 3 7 5 5 3 5 3 7 5
That makes sense to only me, maybe.
K dear brother’s and sisters,
It brings me great sadness to confess to you, and the online world that I, Jenn _ _ _ _ _ _ _, am not invincible, and trying to max out on all the main lifts 7 x’s a week is NOT the best way to go about getting stronger.
Despite wishing I was as tough as batman, I could never really see myself being able to climb an ice mountain.
Especially not whilst trying to protect a delicate little flower in my pocket.
UM YES. Where was I going with this?
RIGHT.
Today’s workout sucked and it’s becoming increasingly harder to get out of bed every morning, LOl. I typically wake up at 8:30 now, then I rolled around in agony until like 9ish. Then I do myself, I mean DO myself. Then I lie around some more.
Then I finally get up and do my stupid band pull aparts.
Wasting AWAYyyyy. I’m like one of those lazy people that spend all day in BED.
Anyway ya, my back feels fuckin’ wonky and it’s like I need to crack it bad, but I can’t. And it hurts to try. On on side I can crack it, but the other one will NOT and it’s like OWWWEEEE UHHHHHH grunty exhaley.
Benching felt weird today. LIke Supa shitty weird.
K end//\\ bitching.
I feel like an old man.
SOooOOo without further adooooooooo
My official i am attempting to start a new routine announcement.
NOW, I know what you’re thinking.
Hardy harr harr, Jenn is going to try to stick to something, then have a breakdown and change it, blah blah.
POSSIBLY.
BUT…
I may attempt to set up a reward system so that every month I go by NOt changing shit, I’ll give myself something special.
Like a new pair of chucks, pizza, orRRR a new band t-shirt. Ya’ll know how I like to bring da music.
SO ya, K and YAYAY I am going to do 5/3/1, Lol. It’s the only program in my whole life I have ever been able to stick to.
I am going to do BBB BUT Benching twice a week, NOT mil. pressing twice a week. Squatting twice a week, NO t DL-ing twice a week.
SOooO um
DL BBB SQUATS
MP BBB BENCH
SQUATS BBB SQUATS
BENCH BBB BENCH
OH.
ANd on the third week I’ll go up to a 1RM or a 3RM or whatever.
I thought about 3/5/1, but I doon’t see myself having the self control to not ++++ my 5 sets, Lol.
umm
Accessory, I dunno. We’ll see.
GOnna make my kid push the prowler with me 2 times/week MIN cause he is getting lazy :/.
YA K GOOD I am going to write up my calander until Dec. 1st (meet day) even though I have no idea what life events may occur before then.
I could meet someone/fall in love/go to vegas and get married in NOV> or something and um, k YA BYE
ZOMG FORGOT TO ADD LIFE NEWS:
I saw this movie american psycho (AWESOME).
Like so good, so sososo good!!
Wondering?
If anyone has seen it please explain some stuff to me, like did he really kill all those people? Why did that lawyer guy say he had lunch or whatever in london with that guy he killed??
Im really glad you are getting back on a proper program…I think doing things the way you did them is fine for a while, but obviously ends up leading to overtraining…you probably made some progress doing it that way for a while though, so its nice that you figured out when you reached your ceiling
Re: American Psycho. Awesome movie. NO he did not kill all those people. He was imagining it the whole time. The movie does not do a very good job at explaining that like the book does. Plus a lot of good scenes got edited out (like when he beats the shit out of the two escort whores). But it was a very good movie regardless.
