Owlie Takes Flight

Forgot to post Friday’s workout!!!

Squats
barx12x2
135x5x2
175x12-my boyfriend said I had at least two more but I didn’t want to be greedy and I think sometimes its better to err on the side of caution with higher reps sets…I would rather not squeek out two reps with shaky form at the end of a long set on something like a back squat

Press:
barx8x2
65x3
85x1
95xfx2
95x1-finally!!! I’ve been wanting this for weeks
85x5x2

dumbbell rows
70x12x1

barbell curls
50x12x2
50x11-failed very last rep yay lol

This weekend was not optimal for eating but I am trying. I really need to stop cheating so much on the weekends if I am ever going to really take pride in my physique. Oh well, I’ll keep bashing my head so to speak and it will either take one day or it won’t. My nutrition during the week is on target, at least.

Tomorrow I think I’m going to do box squats. I haven’t had any issues with the left knee in a long time and I’d like to keep it that way. Box squats generally put less pressure on my knees so they’re a go for tomorrow.

Box Squats:
barx12x2
95x8
135x5x2
175x4x6

Bench
115x7x3

Deadlifts
135x5x2
185x2x2
225x4

triceps

Good stuff, Owlie. I think you’re right about not going for the extra reps after a long squat session. Nice bench too.

Yes, I need to learn some of your self restraint…I have a tendency to grind out my reps.

Yes, I just posted my lifting for last week on the post before the pic, not realizing the pic would bump the actual content-related stuff to the page before this one…lol oh well…Anyway, I am getting close to my old PRs so I should be busting through those soon!!

ooo OK!! Yes, yes I think the 3x/week is working really well for me, esp with my schedule. Any kind of body part split is pretty worthless for my goals right now because I still need to make some significant gains I think. The 3x/week is allowing me to work a little harder during my sessions too because I have that much more recovery time. I’m alternating box squats with regular back squats which I think it going to keep me from stagnating a bit too. I should probably figure out how to front squat. Also more prehab work. I might move from this into a 4 day split a little closer to the end of the year depending on how I progress.

cat calls and whistles

Glad your strength is coming back so quickly. Smoking pic.

Love the pic - you are indeed smokin’.

Awwh thanks y’all are two sweet to me!! I am trying, I really am. I am happy with my body, but I think it has been stagnating for awhile. I am back to logging food now so hoping to make progress and just clean up a little. I think I am entering a period of higher motivation, so I am going to roll with it for sure!!

I went on a minor bender this weekend did some damage with the alcohol, so I took today off from training to give my body some extended rest. Definitely won’t be doing that again any time soon!!

Awesome bench and damn those legs! nomnom
