I will refrain from giving life advice because I’m just some shmuck on the internet. But ya gotta do what you gotta do! Whatever is best for you and the kiddo, ya know? Just don’t make any rash decisions (ok there’s advice I suppose)

Good benching and lifting! Your video was good–definitely 3 white lights and you have a whole army of kids that will do your bidding now! mwahhahahah

Why did they set the bar up so weird with 135 though? Shouldn’t that just have been a bar and two plates? Are you sure you didn’t do more? I couldn’t tell what size those plates were.

You are getting a shitload of reps on your money sets! That is awesome. Keep killin it.

We’re all shmucks on here, but anyone who takes life advice they get from strangers online at 100% face value is a fool. Anything on here is just food for thought, you’ve really got to figure your own shit out.

I also chuckled at the child spectator squad in the bench video.

1103

I don’t feel qualified to offer advice on your current predicament, given that I don’t have kids. So I’ll just say nice (weirdly loaded) bench, and those kids watching were definitely 'mirin.

1104

Not a parent, but, if you’re looking for a job anyway, why not look for one closer to your kid’s old school? I’m sure there is a reason but I didn’t see you mention it.

Solid bench, 3 whites for sure.

Well he was going to school in sherwood park and I live in edmonton+I take public transportation, so I could literally drive to red deer or further in the time it would take me to bus one way into sherwood park, Lol.

1106

KK EVERyoNE: Thanks for the judging of my bench. Maybe one day I’ll do this with all my lifts and then it can be like a mini-meet prep type dealio. I like knowing that I am not sucking at stuff, heh.

RE: School
I appreciate everyone’s non-advice, Lol. I really have no doubts about my choice. I was talking to my mom on the phone and she was all "when you think about the alternative (IE: going to school and seeing my kid like a handful of times each month) how can THAT possibly be the RIGHT choice? I also really want to work and have somewhat lost my passion for the sign language after all of the really annoying shit that happened with my school. It seemed like everyone working for that damn place developed an illness or had someone in their family who developed an illness and were therefore unable to do their jobs properly.
ALSO the mandatory deaf/blind camp was bascailly just cause they could not get any one else to volunteer so they force us to “volunteer” and tell us it’s for marks etc… they did that shit all the time over the past year and a half and it’s kinda annoying.
It seemed like every single assignment was like a last minute volunteer thing and I don’t know how much I really learned from any of it.

Benching has felt so weird lately, it’s like uncomfortable for my thumbs? I don’t feel like my set up is any different.
Also having carpal tunnely issues with my left hand so before my BBB sets were done my arm was numb<–ANNOYING as hell!

Some huge bald dude called me gorgeous today, teehee.
It wasn’t like oh hey you’re gorgeous. It was like excuse me gorgeous. I didn’t say anything, I just laughed LOL. UMM
Remember when that annoying guy I hated a while back used to call me girl? Like, back at it girl? Or whatever, and I wanted to punch him?

Well saying gorgeous is much better.
My kid is nagging at me to get off the computer and I said I was talking to my cyber friends and he was like what the heck are cyber friends and I said strangers on the internet, they’re my friends, okay?!
Then I started laughing cause that sounded really lame actually coming out of my mouth, HAHA.

K nothing else.

I meant why not move to where his school is and work there, but that’s a big change, hence my “I’m sure there is a reason” comment.

1111

BY THE WAY: You officially bench more then me and you seem to enjoy it which is mind boggling to myself. Great job!!! Strong benching!!

1112

I am only commenting in here so that our training logs stay close together. If I didn’t do this right now they would be almost 3 whole pages away from one an other. I just couldn’t let that happen.

I doubt i bench more than you. I have a fear of the big boy plates so i load it weirdly… It’s only 135 :slight_smile:

1115

KK gonna try and figure out what I actually did today cause it’s kinda confusing.

Summed up version of life over the past couple days:
I FOUND A NEW GYM
AND it’s the bestest most prettiest thing i’ve ever seen! It’s small and cozy and has everything I could ever want!
Bumper plates, platform, a bench A WIDE BENCH! Not all stupid and narrow like my old one!
A NEW squat rack! NEW NON LAME SQUAT| RACK!!!
I slept maybe 3 hours last night thinking about this wondrous facility, sigh…

So 5/3/1, cycle 1, week 3, day 3

Deadlifts
umm sooOOo, let me sort out all this kilo shit
BRB doing math
155 x 5
165 x 3
199 x 3 ?? 25 kilo’s + 25 kilo’s = 50 kilo’s then two more 10 kilo’s is 70 kilo’s then the bar is just a normal bar so it’s 45lbs??
um now i can’t really remember
then i did 2 25 kilo’s and um the 10 kilo’s and 2 5 kilo’s + bar is says like 221 pounds x 3. Which seems weird cause it felt easy and it was beltless?? I was only trying to go up to 205 but I couldn’t figure out my math Lol. I wanted to make sure i didn’t do less than 205. I remember that I did this (oh, i am sorting out my OCD, sorry) i am 100% sure i did this cause when I was loading it up I thought oh this is dumb I should have just done the 25’s and the 15’s instead of 25\s 10’s and 5’s. I DUNNO. Apparently I did this, but i am sceptical.
BELTed 243 x 1 EASY ALSO???
WHATEVER, it all felt good. Somewhat light, but not like TOOO easy. SO PERFEECT. I have to plan my next 5/3/1 month all in kilo’s for my DL so it’s not all fucked.
Oh and when I was trying to unload the bar this like big muscley guy came over and lifted the bar up on one side so i could get the sticky plate off. ANd I said thank you, which is a normal reaction, but i said it so slutty like LOL WTF. Oh, thank you. My voice was all sultry. It was weird. I never talk like that, HAHA.

BBB Squats
115 x 10
115 x 10
115 x 10
115 x 10
115 x 10

Your maths seem correct from what I can tell. It’s a pain in the ass trying to switch from kilos math to pounds math or vice versa, I’ve been forced to do it a couple times.

Are you 100% positive it was a 45 pound bar though? Sometimes if they have bumpers they’ll have oly bars, which are 20kg (40+4=44 pounds) and not 45 pounds.

In any case, nice pulling.

And oh yeah, happy birthday!

1119

I hope you didn’t die on your birthday.

1120

[quote]scj119 wrote:

LOL! No, I didn’t die. I’ve just been depressed and I figured no one wanted to come to my pity party.

I realized that any chick who was taught proper form would have my shitty lifting numbers in 6 months, if not less. I’ve put a lot of time and effort into powerlifting and I am barely mediocre…
It’s somewhat depressing.

I’m also fat. Now, I planned to gain weight, but only if it made me stronger. I got fatter, but not stronger, THAT is lame. Before I lost weight I was this fat, had the WORST deadlift form ever, and could pull 280. Now 245 is my max, and don’t even get me started on my squat…

N E WAY. I am going to attempt to become less fat. I need to lose like 25 lbs if I don’t want to have to buy new fat clothes for winter…
UMM what else…
OH YA, I kinda figured out what I want to do job wise.

Now don’t everyone laugh at me and tell me I suck at life too much to do this (cause apparently I feel like I’m still in JR high where everyone bullies me about everything), but I would like to become a cop.
It will probably be like three years until that can happen, BUT i am prepared to do what I gotta so that I can get in.

Step one: Learn how to swim
Officially registered in swim lessons for tuesday mornings.
Step two: Get my drivers license
Failed my learners exam for the 4th time yesterday, LoL. <–This is the reason it will take me 3 years to become a cop.
I am going to write the test every day until I pass it, or until they feel sorry for me and just give me to me anyway, HA.

UM WHaT ELSE
Oh yes, stop being an out of shape blob
Actually doing cardiovascular activity since Um sunday, ha-ha.
There is no prowler at either of my two new gyms so I have to figure out some boring shit to do. Normal cardio shit I suppose.

I have two new gyms cause I moved back into sherwood park with my parents (nerd) since I have no job and need to get back on my feet. I also hated how mad my kid was at me for taking him away from his home/school. I guess he is happier to be back here with all of us together.

HOWEVER, now his dipshit father wants to fight me for custody since I’m a bum currently and he wants gabe to get to know his siblings.
He like knocked up some 19 year old chick and has two other kids, aside from gabe, and wants them all to live together like one big happy family. Cause he has a job and a home and I don’t. I dunno.
THat is really upsetting to me. It makes me feel like a loser even though he’s like human scum. He killed someone for fuck sakes. UHH ya.
So ya, just kinda been down lately. Trying to dig myself outta my ditch. I guess if anyone cares to follow my 3 year quest to become a cop I can log my workouts still, ha-ha.

Cyber hugs for you all!
